PRESENTATIONS
M NORTHWEST HENNEPIN HUMAN SERVICES COUNCIL
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mary Cayan, Executive Director for the Northwest
Hennepin Human Services Council. Ms. Cayan introduced the members who
represented Brooklyn Center and noted that Geralyn Barone is the staff liaison
to the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council; Fran Gunberg and John Casey
are the citizens from Brooklyn Center on the Advisory Commission; and David
Wagner is the Planner and Emergency Services Coordinator. She went on to
briefly review the municipal profile which had been given to Councilmembers for
their review. She stated that on page 11 the benefits which the City receives
from this commission are listed. She then introduced David Wagner who went on
to explain and review the different samples of data collected.
Councilmember Theis stated according to the graphs and the other information
presented, it appears that Brooklyn Center receives more than its proportionate
share of services. Mr. Wagner stated from the graph it appears that Brooklyn
Center does receive more
than its share, but that to receive a clearer picture
the information should be broken down
into s. er capita groupings.
P P g P g
HRA Coordinator Brad Hoffman entered the meeting at 7:17 p.m.
Mayor Nyquist inquired Y YQ Q if the Council is currently meeting the needs for
financing through government or public /private partnerships. Mr. Wagner stated
most of
the Council's financing comes from Hennepin Count Mayor Ny
P Y Y
YQ
stated that he would like to see solutions for financing needs explored in the
private sector as much uch as possible. Mayor Nyquist thanked Ms. Cayan and the
other members of the
Council for bein resent this evenin at the Cit Council
meeting.

recognizing g his service on the Charter r Commission. He noted that Mr. Erickson
served on the Charter Commission from 1979 until 1987. Mr. Erickson thanked the

RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED)
The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for
Improvement Project No. 1986 -21, Earle Brown Farm Streetscape Improvement
Project, Phase III, Streetscape Lighting, Contract 1986 -R. The City Manager
noted staff is recommending approval of the resolution awarding the contract to
Kilmer Electric Company due to the incorrect bid security being submitted from
the apparent low bidder. He added that a second resolution has been prepared in
the event the Council does wish to award the contract to the apparent low
bidder, McNerney Industries. The Director of Public Works stated
the staff
recommendation is based on the original bid security discrepancy and stated
after much staff investigation he would recommend that the Council not waive the
irregularity and reject the low bid and award the contract to the second low
bidder. He stated that the lowest bidder did know in advance of the error in
the bid security and chose not to correct it.
3 -23 -87 _S_
Councilmember Hawes inquired if the City has ever awarded a contract to McNerney
Industries. The Director of Public Works stated the City has not awarded a
contract to McNerney Industries in the past, and added that staff had checked
the references submitted with the bid. He stated McNerney Industries is
relatively new in this field and that some problems had been noted from the
references checked. He added these problems had been corrected and the other
cities would be happy to award a contract to him again.
Councilmember Theis noted if the bid security had been sufficient the staff
would be recommending award to McNerney Industries. The Director of Public
Works responded affirmatively. Councilmember Theis stated that the error on the
bid security does not appear to be significant enough to show that McNerney
Industries has an unfair advantage over the other bidders and he would recommend
award to McNerney Industries.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired if McNerney Industries had indicated why they did
not attempt to change the error in the bid security before the bid was
submitted. The Director of Public Works stated he has not received any comment
from McNerney Industries. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he agrees with the
staff recommendation and if a bidder chooses not to follow the bid specs
provided, he should not be awarded the contract. Councilmember Lhotka noted
that the dollar difference for the bid security was not that great and he could
not see why the correction was not made. The Director of Public Works stated
apparently McNerney Industries assumed that the irregularity would be waived by
the Council.
Mayor Nyquist stated if the bidder is sloppy in submitting his written bid he
may also have a poor quality of work. The Director of Public Works stated that
staff is also concerned about that. The City Manager stated if the Council were
to make it their policy to waive irregularities quite often, then it would be
possible that no bidder would submit a correct bid assuming that the Council
would waive the irregularity.
Councilmember Scott stated she feels the bid security condition is equal in
importance to everything else in the bid specs, and that if the bidder cannot
comply with the
P y bid security does not meet
y specs.
Councilmember Hawes stated he agrees with the basic remarks that have been
stated by the other Councilmembers, but noted the difference is so small he
cannot see denying the award for $900. He added if the Council awarded the
contract to McNerney Industries, McNerney Industries should raise the bid
security to the required 5 %.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired if the Council has ever denied a contract due to
insufficient bid security. The Director of Public Works stated the Council has
never rejected a bid due to insufficient bid security. He noted that Council
and staff has always required very strict compliance to the written
specifications.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis to approve the resolution waiving the
irregularity in bid security and award the contract to McNerney Industries.
3 -23 -87 -6-
The Director of Public Works stated that under this resolution the contractor
would be given until March 25, 1987 at 4:30 p.m. in which to provide bid
security meeting the full requirements of the specifications. He stated he
would like to hear the City Attorney's opinion on this matter.
The City Attorney stated he felt careful consideration had been given to both
sides of this issue, and that either resolution the City approves would stand up
in court. He noted that this bid irregularity is quite different from the
irregularity mentioned later in the agenda. He stated McNerney Industries knew
of the defect and chose not to change the bid before it was submitted. He
stated in the other bid award there was no ambiguity and that the error was
basically a typographical error.
Councilmember Hawes seconded the motion to waive the irregularities of the bid
security submitted by McNerney Industries and to award the contract to McNerney
Industries.
Mayor Nyquist called for a roll call vote on this item and upon vote being taken
thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Councilmembers Hawes and Theis;
and the following voted against the same: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Scott
and Lhotka. The motion failed.
RESOLUTION N0. 87 -56

RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1986-
21, EARLE BROWN FARM STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, PHASE III STREETSCAPE
LIGHTING, CONTRACT 1986 -R
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Celia Scott, and the motion passed with Councilmembers Hawes and Theis
opposed.

evening for a second reading. He noted this item has been amended since the

REQUESTING SITE AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL TO CONSTRUCT A 10,000 SO FT 2
STORY OFFICE BUILDING AT 7213 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD
The City Manager noted this item was recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission at its March 12, 1987 meeting. The Director of Planning & Inspection
referred the Mayor and City Council to pages three through five of the March 12,
1987 Planning Commission minutes and the informational sheet attached with those
minutes. He noted the property is zoned Cl and that this development is a
permitted use within the Cl district. He d
ad ed the development plan has been
P
reviewed by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission. The Director of
Planning & Inspection went on to review the 14 conditions recommended for
approval for Application No. 87005; and noted that a public hearing is not
scheduled for this application because it is a permitted use in the Cl zone.
Councilmember Scott inquired if the parking formula used for this building was
the standard office formula or medical /dental office formula. The Director of
Planning & Inspection stated that the standard office parking formula was used
for this development. He noted if it were a medical /dental office development
more parking spaces would be required. Councilmember Scott inquired if the City
3 -23 -87 -11-
can require more parking spaces if a medical or dental use goes into the
building. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that staff could control
the usage and parking spaces when permits for tenant improvements were issued.
Councilmember Scott inquired what the Director of Planning & Inspection meant
when he said this would be a "one hour .construction" building. he
Dire g
ctor of
Planning & Inspection stated ed this term rm has to do with the period of time it
takes for a fire to spread from one office or room to the next.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired what the applicant planned to do with the south
side of Shingle Creek. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that the
applicant plans to leave this area in a natural state. Mayor Nyquist inquired
where the trash disposal area would be located. The Director of Planning &
Inspection stated he was not certain what the applicant's plans were at this
time. Dave Nelson, the applicant, stated he would have to work with the
architect on an appropriate area and screenings for the trash disposal area.
The Director of Planning & Inspection asked Mr. Nelson if a decision had been
made regarding the exterior treatment for the building. Mr. Nelson stated the
minimum exterior treatment would be a brick face, but that he would prefer to
install a small aggregate type facing on the building. He stated this depends
upon the availability of the stone and the cost of it. Councilmember Lhotka
stated he would like to review the aggregate material before it is approved for
the building.
There was a motion
b Councilmember
y Theis and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
approve Planning Commission Application No. 87005 submitted by Uhde /Nelson,
Inc., subject to the following conditions:
1. Building Plans are subject to review and approval b the Buildin

RESOLUTIONS CONTINUED
The City Manager presented y g p ted a Resolution Accepting Bid and nd Awardin Contract
r g g act for
Improvement ovement Project No. 1987 -03, Brookdale 16" Water Main Improvement, Lions
s
Park to County Road 10, Contract 1987 -E. The Director of Public Works reviewed
for Councilmembers the memorandum submitted for their consideration regarding
this item. He noted the proposal submitted by the apparent low bidder had an
error in the written unit price. He stated that the extended total price for
the line item appears to be within the range of the other bids, and the extended
total price for this item is also reflected on the total bid price for the
entire project. The Director of Public Works stated he has reviewed this matter
with the City Attorney, and it is his recommendation that the contract be
awarded to 0 & P Contracting, the low bidder.
3 -23 -87 -13-
Mayor Nyquist recognized Jeff Appelquist, from the Fabyanske Law Firm, who
stated he was present this evening representing the Northdale Construction
Company which is the second low bidder for this project. Mr. Appelquist likened
this contract to a recent court case in which the project engineer had no
discretion to alter the unit price. He noted in the City's case the project
engineer had to rely on outside information to determine that the unit price of
$12 per linear foot was 0 & P's intended unit price versus the $1,200.
Councilmember Theis stated the bidding laws are set up for the protection of the
City, and that the Council does have a right to waive a regularity and
informalities. The City Attorney noted the error appears to be simply a
typographical error or a misplaced decimal. He noted leaving the unit price at
$1,200 per linear foot would give the total bid an absurd result, and the unit
price would be 100 times the usual price. He noted there is no way the low
bidder can take advantage of this error in the bid.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -57
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1987-
03, BROOKDALE 16" WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENT, LIONS PARK TO COUNTY ROAD 10, CONTRACT
1987 -E
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Rich Theis, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Authorizing the Transfer of Community
Development Block Grant Funds to Hennepin County for Three (3) Housing and
Redevelopment Grants. Councilmember Lhotka inquired where these three homes
were located in Brooklyn Center. The HRA Coordinator stated that the homes were
three single family homes and the addresses were not available at this time. He
noted the Council would be receiving more information as to the improvements for
each home as is done in all grants.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -58
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
TO HENNEPIN COUNTY FOR THREE (3) HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT GRANTS
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Rich Theis, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Authorizing the Mayor and City Manager
to Enter into an Agreement with Funk Animal Hospital for Care of Impounded
Animals. Councilmember Theis inquired how this present situation is working
with the animals. The City Manager stated there appears to be less complaints
using this method of animal control.

DISCUSSION ITEMS
RECOMMENDATION FROM THE RIVER RIDGE PARK COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AD HOC COMMITTEE
The City Manager stated that after much review the River Ridge Park
Comprehensive Plan Ad Hoc Committee is recommending approval of the draft plan
submitted by the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District. Councilmember Scott
stated she feels the people in this neighborhood have been through quite a bit
in the last three years and they deserve to have a final decision made tonight.
She stated this decision should be made to allow the residents to go on with
plans for the future.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Bob Ellingson, a Commissioner on the Suburban Regional
Park Board. He noted regional parks are usually not created by the legislators
but from the regional ark commissioners. g P He stated at this point there are
$1.5 million available for acquisition of homes and property for the park, but
it is unlikely additional funding will be available for quite a while. He added
the park system does not generally like to condemn property and that only five
properties have been condemned in the past 20 years. He stated even if the
Council were to approve the park plan this evening, it could be a long time
before the park actually becomes a reality. Councilmember Scott stated Mr.
Ellingson's remarks indicate that the City had no more idea of this park plan
than the citizens of Brooklyn Center.
Mayor Nyquist stated he was quite concerned with the fact that the property
could be sitting there for a number of years without a park being developed or
tax revenues being given to the City.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mike Henry from the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park
District who stated the priorities for funding are established by the Metro
Council. He stated the park plan would have to stand on its own feet and it
would be put in the pot along with all the other projects from the Metro
Council. He added it is unknown how high it would rank in the priorities.
Councilmember Theis inquired if the priorities have been established for this
year's funding. Mr. Henry responded affirmatively and noted that some
adjustments would be made if the amount of funding were cut.
Councilmember Hawes stated he would like to see this area included in the
regional park plan at a future date. He noted he did not want to push residents
out of their homes, and would prefer to see the cost for the park spread out
among all of Hennepin County not just Brooklyn Center. He stated that in his
opinion it did not matter how long it takes for the park to become a reality.
Councilmember Lhotka stated he had no doubt that everyone believes this area
would be very good for parkland, but no matter what happens Brooklyn Center will
end up paying for it. He stated Brooklyn Center will end up paying for the
3 -23 -87 -15-
development of the park if it is not a regional park or they will end up paying y
in the lost taxes while the property sits waiting for the regional park to
become a reality. He stated if the land is not included now in the regional
park plan it is unlikely that it will be included at a later date. The City
Manager noted the regional park in this area is basically a link in the trailway
system.
Councilmember Scott stated the question before the Council this evening appears
to be does the Council agree with the present Comprehensive Plan which states a
park should be in this area. Mayor Nyquist stated he sees the issue as much
larger than just agreeing with the Comprehensive Plan. He stated before he
could approve it he would need to know some implementation and completion dates.
He stated he is very concerned with the property sitting there vacant, off the
tax rolls, for up to 25 years. Councilmember Scott stated that she believed it
would be impossible to give any type of completion date when the funding is
unsure at this point. Mayor Nyquist stated he would have to have some idea of a
completion date before he can vote for the project. Councilmember Theis stated
he agrees with the Mayor's concerns regarding vacant property and the loss of
taxes.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired if a plan could be put together specifying a
completion date. Mayor Nyquist inquired if the City Council were to approve the
plan and agree to condemnation proceedings, when could the Suburban Hennepin
Regional Park District have this park completed. Mr. Henry stated he had no way
of answering that question because even if the City approves the park plan and
the condemnation proceedings, the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District would
still need funding.
Councilmember Hawes inquired what the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District
would propose to do with any property which is sold. Mr. Henry stated the
structure would be taken down and the property would be restored to its natural
state.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Tony Schmidt, 5500 Lyndale Avenue North. Mr. Schmidt
stated there was no question in his mind whether the residents of Brooklyn
Center would like this area as a park. However, he stated the Council should
review the area and ask itself, is the area really a park or only a link for a
trailway system. He added that the draft plan which is before the Council this
evening is exactly the same plan which the Council rejected one year ago based
on the same facts as they have today. He also inquired if Brooklyn Center had
to pay for the park what would the Council's decision be this evening.
Councilmember Scott stated she does not appreciate the position which the State -
Legislature and the County have put the City of Brooklyn Center in, but she does
feel the Comprehensive Plan is correct and that a park should be developed for
this area.
RESOLUTION NO 87 -60
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE DRAFT PLAN OF THE NORTH REGIONAL PARK STUDY /PLAN DATED
JUNE 12, 1986 SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONDITIONS
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
approve the resolution approving the draft plan of the North Regional Park
Study /Plan dated June 12, 1986, subject to certain conditions.
3 -23 -87 -16-
Mayor Nyquist inquired if the resolution could be amended to add a fifth
condition which could read "the Suburban Hennepin Regional Park District
commence negotiations with funding agencies to assure the development of the
portion of the North Mississippi Regional Park within Brooklyn Center within ten
years of the date of this resolution ".
Councilmember Scott and Councilmember Hawes both agreed to this amendment.
An unidentified resident inquired what the ten year deadline would mean to the
residents. Mayor Nyquist stated hopefully by placing a ten year date it would
ensure that definite plans are made for the park. Mr. Schmidt stated that he
believes Minneapolis should develop their portion of the park first and it could
expand into Brooklyn Center at a later date.
Upon vote being taken on the foregoing resolution, the following voted in favor
thereof: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Scott, Hawes, and Theis; and the
following voted against the same: Councilmember Lhotka. The motion passed.
PUBLIC UTILITIES RATE STUDY
The Director of Public Works stated that he would like to briefly review the
report which was prepared for the Council regarding the recommended adjustments
to the public utility rates. After reviewing the three options for
Councilmembers, he noted that option A would not be an acceptable alternative
because the City's reserve would be depleted. He stated option C is also an
unlikely alternative because there would be substantial rate increases and the
reserve would be raised to quite a high level. Therefore, option B is the
recommended alternative, and it would give the City and its citizens reasonable
utility rates and yield a reasonable reserve level to the City of Brooklyn
Center.
Councilmember Theis inquired why staff is recommending increasing the late
penalty charge by 400 %. The Director of Public Works stated the late penalty
charge has been at $1 for quite a long time. He noted that this $1 charge does
not get the result or attention that a higher rate will receive. By placing a
higher rate on the late charge there would be less delinquent accounts.
Councilmember Theis stated it appears there would be substantial rate increases
over the next three years, and he believes this is too short of a time to
increase the rates. Councilmember Lhotka noted he is also concerned regarding a
price increase each year. The City Manager pointed out that staff is
recommending an increase for only three years, not every year from 1987 on. The
Director of Public Works stated the Council could adopt a resolution
establishing a rate schedule for the next three years at which time a review
could be done and future rates could be established if an increase were still
needed.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis
to table the Public Utilities Rate Study until the April 6, 1987 City Council
meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager reminded Councilmembers if they had any questions or concerns
regarding this issue they should contact him so that information- could be
collected before the next Council meeting.
3 -23 -87 -17-
GROUND WATER PROTECTION BILL /LOCAL EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL BILL
The City Manager stated that since the agenda packet had been prepared on
Friday, new information had been received on this item and the original bills
have been pulled and replaced with a new proposed bill. He stated the staff
recommends adoption of the resolution prepared for the Council expressing the
Council's concerns and dissatisfaction regarding this proposed bill.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -61
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION RELATING TO PROPOSED LEGISLATION FOR A METROPOLITAN GROUND WATER
STUDY AND PLAN
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Gene Lhotka, and the motion passed unanimously.
RECOMMENDATION BY PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION TO TELEVISE THEIR COMMISSION
MEETINGS ON CABLE TELEVISION
Mayor Nyquist inquired what the purpose of televising the Park and Recreation
Commission meetings on cable television is. Bud Sorenson from the Park and
Recreation Commission stated that he views it as a starting point to televising
all Commission, Council, and Ad Hoc Committee meetings on cable TV. He stated
the minutes present only the hard facts but do not convey all the information
regarding how the Council or Commissions actually feel regarding an issue.
Councilmember Theis inquired if staff has looked into what is involved in
televising these types of meetings. The City Manager stated that a number of
communities are using the community access channel for televising their
meetings, but substantial improvements would have to be made to the meeting room
for audio and lighting consideration. He noted this would not be an inexpensive
process and that even though the televising portion could be started with
volunteers, eventually part -time employees would have to be hired to handle the
televising of meetings.
Mr. Sorenson stated that he feels the audio portion of the program is much more
important than the video portion. The City Manager stated after talks with the
City of Crystal it is their opinion that if the video portion of the program is
of poor quality they have fewer viewers.
Mr. Sorenson stated at the very least he would like to see the agendas for the
meetings appear on cable TV. There was a general consensus among Councilmembers
that agendas for the various Commission and Council meetings should be placed on
cable TV.
The City Manager stated he would develop some estimates regarding the needed
improvements for televising meetings on cable TV for the May 18, 1987 City
Council meeting.
1987 - 1989 MAMA 49 MASTER AGREEMENT
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
approve the 1987 to 1989 MAMA 49 Master Labor Agreement. The motion passed
unanimously.

TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works
DATE: April 2, 1987
RE: Community Center Improvements, Project No. 1987 -05
On February 23rd the City Council authorized execution of an agreement with the
architectural firm of Carlson Mjorud Architecture, Ltd. (CMA) to prepare plans
and specifications for the following improvements to the Community Center:
Item Budgeted Cost Estimate
Remodel and Redecorate Social Hall, $ 51,450
Lower Lobby, Stairwell and
0 Upper Lobby
Replace and Insulate Roof $ 135,000
Tuckpointing Bad Mortar Joints $ 8.100
Total $ 194,450*
* Note : All cost estimates included architectural fees.
Since that time CMA has met with City staff 4 times to discuss details of the
project, to identify and resolve specific items of concern, and to develop a
design concept. Some of the major items covered have included the following:
Review of the Existing Condition of the Roof Structure
Over the Swimming Pool
The existing roof support structure consists of steel trusses, steel bar joists,
and a steel roof deck.
Before proceeding with any design of the new roofing, CMA's structural engineer
reviewed the capacity of the existing roof support structure to carry roof
loads. In addition, the engineer conducted a detailed inspection of existing
conditions and noted two areas of specific concern, i.e.:
a) Evidence of severe corrosion was found at several points on the
underside of the steel decking.
?4e Sam&4za mou �„
April 2, 1987
Page 2
b) Some evidence of corrosion also was found at those locations where the
steel trusses connect to the vertical steel columns which support the
roof. While this evidence was generally slight, it was decided that
this was an area for major concern, since a failure at this location
could be catastrophic.
Based on this evidence, staff authorized the engineer to conduct additional
investigations to evaluate the seriousness of these symptoms. This
investigation required that four "inspection ports" be cut into the concrete
walls at the point where the trusses connect to columns.
Following detailed inspection and evaluation, the structural engineer was able
to conclude that:
a) The areas of corrosion the decking appear to be very localized,
allowing them to be repaired q uite easily.
Note It is, of course, impossible to inspect the top side of the
steel decking until after the existing roof, insulation, and vapor
barrier are removed. However, based on his inspection of the
underside of the deck, the engineer has concluded that the decking
appears to be basically sound.
b) Inspection of the connections between the trusses and the columns
indicated that the corrosion noted is superficial, requiring only
minor repair, sealing and painting; and that these connections appears
to be structurally sound.
Selection of Insulation and Roofing Materials
The structural analysis of the roof structure indicated that the total capacity
of the roof deck is 52 pounds per square foot (psf). Since the Building Code
requires that 40 psf be allowed for snow load, the total roof system (i.e.
decking, insulation and roofing) cannot exceed 12 psf.
Based on this consideration and on their evaluation of the function and
environment of the roof, CMA has indentified several insulation alternatives and
several roofing alternatives. After further discussion with staff, CMA is
recommending that the "Modified Bitumen" roofing alternative be used in
conjunction with one of 3 alternative insulation systems, Y
st ms i.e.:
Option 1 an all- "Isocyanurate" (ISO) insulation system
Option 2 an all- "Foamglas" insulation system
Option 3 a combination ISO /Foamglas system.
Following a summary evaluation of these 3 alternatives:
April 2, 1987
Page 3
Estimated Total
Cost for
Option No. Type Discussion Insulation & Roof
1 all -ISO This option is the most economical $ 175,000
of the 3 options under consideration.
It has the best insulation quality
(i.e. the highest R- Value), but is
somewhat permeable to moisture -
allowing possible corrosion of the
steel decking and loss of insulating
value
2 all - Foamglas This is the most expensive of the 3 $ 270,000
options under consideration. It has a
lesser insulation value than Option 1,
but provides the most impermeable
system, and the least amount of
corrosion of the deck.
3 ISO /Foamglas This system sandwiches a layer of ISO $ 210,000
between two layers of Foamglas, with
averaged results as to insulating
quality, as to permeability and as to
corrosion.
After discussion of these options, staff recommends selection of Option 3",
based on our opinion that it is the most cost - effective over the next 30 to 40
years. During that time it will probably be necessary to replace the roof one
more time. If Option 1 is used, there is a fairly high probability that the
insulation may have to be replaced and that a significant amount of deck
corrosion could occur. Under Options 2 or 3 we have a high degree of confidence
that corrosion would be minimal because of the low permeability of the
insulation and that
only the roofing would need to be replaced within that time
period.
Please see attached report from CMA for more details.
Architect Al Mjorud of CMA will attend the City Council meeting to discuss this
matter in more detail.
Remodeling and Redecorating of Social Hall,
Lobbies and Stairwell
Extensive discussions have also been held to select a design concept for the
proposed work inside the Community Center. Those concepts will be presented in
detail at the City Council meeting.
April 2, 1987
Page 4
Detailed evaluation of this portion of the work has defined a need to
incorporate a number of items not concluded in the original cost estimate.
These items include the following: (1) removal of the existing beadboard "movie
screen" in the Social Hall (because it is in 'violation of the Building Code) and
replacing it with an 18 foot wide electrically operated retractable screen
(similar to the one "in the City: Council room); (2)'installation of handicap
railings on the stairway (required by the Building Code); (3') installation of
grill work between the top of the wall and the railing - on the upper lobby wall
which over looks the lower lobby (required by the Building Code); (4) several
changes to exit facilities (as required by the Building Code); (5) removing
carpeting from front counter (existing carpet is in violation of the Building
Code) and replacing it with a plastic laminate; (6) inclusion of some tackboard
and acoustical panels at locations where these treatments are considered to be
functionally appropriate; (7) installation of banners inside the Social Hall (an
optional item - recommended to enhance
the aesthetic appearance of this room)
and (8) construction of two -
( ) o built in display cases in the upper lobby P Y PP Y area.
The attached report from CMA details the estimated cost of all interior
improvements.
Exterior Walls and Other Work Items
After inspecting the condition of the exterior walls, CMA recommends that the
appropriate treatment should include (1) replacing deteriorated bricks; (2)
tuckpointing as necessary; (3) sealing the entire exterior face of the walls
and (4) installing weep holes and joint sealing. The entire cost for this work
is estimated at $25,000.
In addition, a number of other recommended improvements to the Community Center
have been discussed in some detail, and are detailed in the attached report from
CMA. In accordance with staff recommendations, CMA has identified these as
"1988 Budget Items" on the appendix to that report.
Summary
Following is our current project cost estimate, based on the use of the "Option
3" roof /insulation system:
Construction Contracts
Remodel and Redecorate $ 88,000
Replace and Insulate roof (Option 3) $ 210,000
Work on Exterior walls (not to be included

PROJECT MEMO: #5
PROJECT: Community Center Remodeling
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
SUBJECT: Statement of Probable Construction Cost
BY: Al M'J orud
The following cost data represents a Statement of Probable Construction
Cost based on actual quotations from the St. Paul- Minneapolis area and the
Means' Square Foot Costs Means' Construction Cost Data, and projections into
the future based on - expected inflationary trends:
Construction Cost
1. The prices quoted in the above noted cost estimating manuals are
usually averaged for major cities in the United States. Although, in
some cases, they are obtained from a definite locality. Data accumu-
lated from actual job costs in 1986 and material dealer's 1987 quota-
tions have been combined with negotiated 1987 labor rates to revise
previous figures. Hundreds of contractors, subcontractors and manu-
facturers have furnished cost information on their products.
2. No guarantee or warranty is made by the Robert Snow Means Company or
the editors as to the correctness or sufficiency of the information
contained in their publication.
3. In addition to the above references the Architect contacted material
suppliers, manufacturers representatives, manufacturers and local
roofing contractors. All of the cost data supplied by each of these
sources was used in the compilation to arrive at the following prices.
PROJECT MtMO: #5
Date: March 27, 1987

Re- Roofing Project
1. The costs listed below include the removal of all of the existing
insulation, roofing materials and vapor barrier down to the bare deck.
Some metal deck will have to patched, most of the deck will have to be
wired brushed to remove the rust, and the entire deck over the pent-
houses and the swimming pool areas will be coated with a layer of
bitumen.
2. Before new roofing material can be added cants, plumbing vents, con-
traction joints, curbs and roof edges will have to be raised. Hatches,
mechanical units, roof vents and electrical conduit will have to
removed and eventually reinstalled.
3. The new roofing system consists of a -vapor barrier membrane, insulation
laid in two layers, tapering for roof drainage and the installation of
a modified bitumen roofing system. The entire new roofing installation
will be totally adhered. There will be no mechanical fasteners through
the metal decking, any mechanical fastening needed will occur at the
perimeters. The existing contraction joints will remain in their
present location.
4. The above system is a U.L. approved design including a vapor barrier.
The entire system has been approved by the Brooklyn Center Building
Officials.
5. The expected cost with all isocyanurate insulation is $175,000.
6. An alternate for consideration would be a full depth foam glass system
at an expected cost of $270,000.
F
7. Another alternate roofing system incorporating foam glass /isocyan
urate /foam glass would cost in the neighborhood of $210,000.
Tuckpoint:ing
1. This work involves the replacement of 2,500 brick and tuckpointing new
and existing brick.
2. Weep holes with plastic inserts will be placed around the base of the
building and above all steel lintels.
3. Caulking of control joints, window frames, louvers, door frames and
other miscellaneous openings must be included in the work,
4. All new and existing brick surfaces must receive a high pressure wash.
5. A clear sealer must be applied to the entire building.
6. This work only applies to the Community Center.
7. This work will cost a minimum of $25,000 which is substantially over
the budget of $8,000.

Commentary on Cost Data
The cost data included herein has been prepared with the very best inten ->
tion by Carlson Mjorud Architecture Ltd. (CMA) to reflect the projected
costs the way they could happen at a given time in the future. These costs
are CMA's opinion of probable cost based on information known today. CMA
is aware that each of the costs listed herein can be proved too low or too
high by another party. As soon as the design becomes more refined, the
costs should be updated. CMA nevertheless recommends to the Owner to
include a 15% contingency amount in the total calculation to cover unfore-
seen items.

PROTEST OF AWARD TO JRG, INC., dba JOHNSON BROTHERS PAINTING
Dear Mr. Spurrier:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation on Friday, we hereby protest any decision the
City of Brooklyn Center may make to award the above - referenced project to JRG, Inc.,
dba Johnson Brothers Painting. When this project was bid last time, that company
was the low bidder. Its bid was approximately 60 % of our bid, which was the second
low bid received. This unreasonably low'bid indicates to me that the bidder is not
a responsible bidder.
Secondly, I checked with the Corporate Division of the Office of the Secretary of
State and found that - neither JRG, Inc -. nor Johnson Brothers Painting are registered
to do business as foreign corporations. This is just cause to reject their bid,
and requires that their bid be rejected.
Thirdly, allowing a bidder to rebid a project once the bidder has claimed error and
withdrawn its bid violates the intent of ---"e sealed bid process. The sealed bid
process would become a shambles if this policy were allowed.
As a result of the three reasons outlined above, we reque st`that you reject the
bid of JRG, Inc., dba Johnson Brothers Painting and award to the second low bidder.

Attached is a resolution accepting bids and awarding contract for Water Tower
No. 1 Reconditioning, Improvement Project No. 1987 -02, Contract 1987 -B.
This is the second set of bids on the above referenced project. All bids were
rejected the first time this project was bid. The low bidder had made an error
in calculating their bid of $57,953 and the next low bidder at $92,035 was too
far above the Engineer's Estimate of $78,200. Following is a summary of the
bids received the first time the project was bid:
Bidder Bid Amount
Johnson Brothers Company $ 57,953.00

Maguire Iron, Inc. 98,030.00
Odland Protective Coatings, Inc. 98,100.00
Tenyer Coatings, Inc. 101,000.00
The rebid of this project produced bids that were closer to the Engineer's
Estimate and so the City's consultant, AEC Engineers and Designers, is
recommending that the contract be awarded to Johnson Brothers Company of
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the amount of $74,600. Following is a summary of

RE: Earle Brown Farm Streetscape, Phase III Improvements
Improvement Project No. 1986 -21
Contracts 1986 -R and 1986 -S
Part of the Earle Brown Farm Streetscape Improvement, Phase III consists of the
installation of lighting and landscaping. The contract for planning and
engineering services with Westwood Planning and Engineering Company anticipated
limited administration and inspection of installation.
The estimation of workload on May 13, 1986 did not take into account some of the
other construction responsibilities we assumed subsequent to the date of the
agreement. Therefore, I am recommending that the administration and inspection
of the lighting (Contract 1986 -R) and landscaping (Contract 1986 -S) be performed
by Westwood Planning and Engineering Company.
Accordingly, it is necessary to amend our existing agreement by amending the
Planning and Engineering Services as detailed in the attached revised Scope of
Services.
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending
the professional services agreement with Westwood Planning and Engineering
Company in accordance with the revised Scope of Services.

RE: Civic Center Plaza Improvement
Item No. 1 --final Contract Payment to Shafer Contracting
Construction of the civic Center Plaza improvement was substantially completed
by mid- summer of 1985. Since that time progress in achieving final completion
has been extremely slow and frustrating. The two major items which prevented
resolution of this matter were:
Item 1 - There was a disagreement between the City, the General Contractor,
a subcontractor, a material supplier, and our project architect
regarding the amount of liner materials used for the pond'and the
basis of payment for those materials (i.e. should payment be based
on the amount of materials used, including trimmings which were
cut off and thrown away, to conform to the free form shape of the
pond; or should payment be based only on the area required to be
covered - with no payment made for trimmings ?) Unfortunately, the
project specifications were not clear on this issue.
Item 2 - A number of plantings failed to survive the required guarantee
period. And, again, there was considerable disagreement between
the various parties involved. Verbal agreements were reached on
several occasions, only to have the landscape subcontractor fail
to perform under those agreements.
Submitted herewith is a resolution which would accept the work under this
contract and authorize final payment to be made subject to the following
conditions relating to the plantings issue:
The contractor agrees that he is required to replace those plantings which
have been determined to be his responsibility. While plantings have an
estimated value of $3,400, the contractor agrees to submit a certificate of
deposit in the amount of $5,000 (150 percent of the estimated value) to
assure that these plantings are replaced before June 1, 1987. (Note:
Contract specifications provide that the warranty requires the contractor
to replace plantings only once. J 0±2 basis, these new plantings would
`r 1916 /LL-1M[RICA QfI' =r
April 2, 1987
Page 2
carry no extended warranty.) If the contractor fails to replace the
plantings, the City can proceed to do so, using the contractor's $5,000
deposit.
The quantities for payment of the pond liner materials reflected in the proposed
final payment represent a negotiated compromise between all parties, wherein the
City would pay approximately 47 percent of the total amount under dispute (i.e.
$3,800 of the $8,050 under dispute) is the best that can be achieved by
negotiation, and that if this issue were taken to arbitration, our total costs
(including staff time, attorney costs, arbitration costs and the arbitrator's
award) would substantially exceed this cost.
It is noted that the proposed total contract payments of $450,012.81 exceed the
appropriated total of $427,427.35. This $22,585 difference (5 %) includes the
$3,800 increase for pond liner costs which were under dispute (see above) as
well as other overruns - i.e. undisputed increases in pond liner costs resulting
from field changes in the size of the pond, overruns on piling costs and other
smaller overruns.
I recommend that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting the
project and approving issuance of final payment - subject to the conditions
noted. _
Item 2 - Planting Replacement
It is my opinion, and the opinion of our landscape architect, that a number
of the plantings which have failed to survive are not the responsibility of
the contractor for several reasons, i.e.:
- Some of those plantings are located in soil conditions and /or high-
water areas which do not provide those plantings witty` the conditions
they need to survive.
- A few of those plantings are still "alive ", but do not have a good
prospect for long -term survival. It is recommended that these be
replaced now, at the same time that the other plantings are being
replaced.
- A few plantings did survive well past the original warranty period,
then died later.
So as to have these plantings replaced at the same time as those which the
contractor is responsible for, we have negotiated a proposed contract
directly with Shafer's landscaping subcontractor, Minnesota Valley
Landscaping. That proposed contract represents the following 3 items:
1. Replace all plantings which have been determined
to be the City's responsibility $ 1,725.00
April 2, 1987
Page 3
- 2. Re- landscape areas around selected trees, provide
drain tiling, etc. to provide site conditions
- more conducive to survival of plantings $ 2,900.00
3. Provide 1 year guaranty for all new plantings
installed, both under this agreement and those
installed under Shafer's contract warranty $ 1,850.00
Total $ 6,475.00
Items 1 and 2 are necessary if we are to replace all original plantings
with new plantings.
Note - Some changes in species of plantings and in the size of plantings
are included in this proposal. The two most noticeable changes will be:
- The replacement Linden trees adjacent to the pond will be 3 to 4
inches in diameter instead of the 6 to 7 inch diameter original
trees. This change is recommended because (1) the smaller trees
will have a much better change of survival; and (2) it is nearly
- impossible to bring in equipment which would be large enough to
handle the big trees, without doing extensive damage to the plaza.
The dead Hackberry trees in the area between the two softball
fields will be replaced with Red Maple trees.
Item 3 - The One Year Guarantee is optional and somewhat high - priced.
However, I recommend that the City also accept this part of the proposal
since it should serve to give the contractor a special incentive to assure
that the replacement trees are planted with T.L.C. If this option is not
taken, all future replacement will be at the City's expense.
A resolution accepting this proposal is submitted for consideration by the City
Council.
Item No. 3 - Installation of Semi - Automatic Sprinkler System For Flower Beds
You will recall that the existing watering system provides a "hose bib" at
each of the 7 flower beds in the plaza. Experience has shown that use of
hoses with sprinklers for this is very labor- intensive. Accordingly, we
have obtained a proposal from Custom Turf Irrigation, Inc. to install a
semi - automatic (i.e. manual turn -on, automatic shut -off) watering system
for each of the flower beds, at a total cost of $1,575.00. It is estimated
that this represents about a 2 year payback.

RE: Status of Little League Outfields
In accordance with the plans and specifications for the Golf Course construction
project The Little League outfields were finished- graded and seeded in
September, 1986. Under normal conditions, this should have assured that these
outfields would be ready for play by May 1, 1987, as provided by the contract
specifications.
However, abnormal rains in late September and throughout October caused
extensive washouts, improper germination of the seed and inadequate formation of
root structure. The contractor did regrade the washout areas and sodded those
areas last fall.
This was followed by a dry "open" winter which provided very poor conditions for
new turf establishment.
Inspection of the outfields now indicates there is very little chance for these
fields to be ready for play by any time in May or June unless additional work is
done.
After review of the plans and specifications and the existing situation with our
landscape architect and
P with the contractor, the following two options are
offered for your consideration.
Option A - The contractor has agreed to provide the required topsoil and seed,
at no cost to the City, if City forces will apply that topsoil and overseed
at our cost.
Our Park Supervisor advises that this option would produce the best long-
term results. however, under this option, the fields will not be ready for
play until approximately July 1st.
Option B - The contractor has agreed to sod all areas of the outfield which
have not previously been sodded, Additional cost of $4,500.00. Under
this option, the contractor adv' s ti'�he fields will be ready for play
by approximately May 15th. $ i.�7:.�

Arnie Mavis has been in contact with representatives of the Little League and he
strongly recommends that the City select "Option B" because the Little League
season runs from approximately May 15th to approximately July 15th. Arnie
advises that it would be very difficult to accommodate the Little League's needs
at any other location.
Accordingly, we recommend approval of "Option B ". A resolution for that purpose
is provided for consideration by the City Council.

enumerating the powers and duties accompanies the ordinance

ATTEST:
Clerk
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly
seconded by member , and upon vote being taken
thereon, the following voted in favor thereof:
and the following voted against the same:
whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted.
A discussion ensued relative to the letter, the Court cases and the City's
regulation of billboards. The Commission believed that it was in the best
interests of the community to continue to regulate billboards as it currently does.
ACTION DIRECTING DRAFT ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
Motion by Commissioner Falecki seconded by Commissioner Nelson to concur with the
City Attorney's recommendation and to direct staff to draft an ordinance amendment
in line with the City Attorney's recommendations. Voting in favor: Chairman
Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Nelson and Ainas. Voting against: none. The
ion passed unanimously.
� c) mmission's Duties and Responsibilities
e Secretary reviewed an ordinance amendment regarding duties of the Planning
Commission. He stated that as part of the Year 2000 report it is recommended that
the City standardize duties for all Advisory Commissions. He noted that duties and
responsibilites for the most part would be acknowledged through resolution.
A discussion ensued regarding appointment of the Chairman of the Planning
Commission by the Mayor with consent of the City Council instead of the Chairman
being elected by the Planning Commission; the procedure for appointments to draw
people from the six neighborhood areas; and a procedure for interim appointments for
temporary replacement in the event a Commissioner becomes ill or is unable to
perform the duties for a period of time.
Commissioner Malecki expressed disagreement with the idea of having the Chairman
appointed b the Ma or
y y rather than elected by the Commission. She stated that she
believed that the Chairman should be someone who has experience serving on the
Commission and that the election of the Chairman generally provides this. She
expressed concern, although she quickly pointed out that it has not been the case,
that the appointment of the Chairman could be a political appointment with little or
no consideration given to the Chairman's ability to preside over the body. It was
suggested that perhaps the wording should be that the Mayor appoint the Chairman
with the consent of the Planning Commission. Commissioner Malecki and other
Commission members stated they believed the current election process was the best.
Commissioner Ainas stated that the idea of an interim appointment was good.
The Secretary stated that the Planning Commission's comments would be conveyed to
the City Council.
ACTION TABLING APPLICATION NO. 87006 (Continental Communications /Willard Blake)
Chairman Lucht recommended tabling the application because the applicant was not

services conducted at the Spiritual Life Ministries located in that same building
and many parking spaces are being used but, their use is primarily in the evening
hours and does not conflict with the other uses in the building.

DISCUSSION ITEM
The Secretary reviewed a plan submitted by Que Viet Village House for a proposed
Vietnamese restaurant in the old Arthur Treacher's building at 6100 Brooklyn
Boulevard. He stated they will utilize the building as is with a few minor
alterations. A proposed addition of a building entrance to the north side of the
building is planned. The existing 24 ft. driving lanes will be maintained. Also,
the glass in the front of the building will be removed and the seating moved forward.
The Secretary noted that parking appears to be adequate for the restaurant; 32
spaces on site to accommodate 64 seats and employees. An upgrading of the site was
discussed regarding repair of the retaining wall, screening and landscaping.
Commissioner Bernards inquired if there would be any change in the sign. The
Secretary responded they will use the existing sign and change the name only.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 87006
Applicant: Continental Communications - Willard Blake
Location: 1800 Freeway Boulevard
Request: Special Use Permit
The applicant requests special use permit approval to operate a retail showroom,
displaying electronic equipment, in conjunction with his communication service
center at 1800 Freeway Boulevard. The building and parcel in question are zoned I -1
and are bounded on the north by the Northwestern Bell service building, by James
Avenue North on the east, by Freeway Boulevard on the south, and Shingle Creek
Parkway on the west. Continental Communications currently is housed at the
Northbrook Shopping Center and the applicant proposes to relocate this business to
the present proposed site. The use primarily involves servicing and repairing
communication equipment such as CB and marine radios and antennas. The applicant
has indicated a desire for a small showroom and customer service area and has
acknowledged that some retailing of this communication equipment would be done.
The applicant's use is the type use comprehended as a permitted use in the C2 zoning
district. Section 35 -330, Subdivision 3f, would acknowledged this type of use in
the I -1 zoning district provided it meets the Standards for Special Use Permits
contained in 35 -220, Subdivision 2 and also, the criteria outlined in Section 35-
330, Subdivision 3f (copies attached).
The space the applicant desires to occupy in the westerly wing of this u- shaped
building is located at the very north end. The area proposed would be 1,330 sq. ft.
with a breakdown of approximately 500 sq. ft. for showroom and customer service
area; 150 sq. ft. for office area and 680 sq. ft. primarily for storage and equipment
repair area. They project a maximum of 8 employees to handle the operation.
Commercial developments such as this are acknowledged as special uses in the I -1
zoning district, as was mentioned above, under Section 35 -330, Subdivision 3f of the
Zoning Ordinance, provided they meet the Standards for Special Use Permits and
further provided that they are compatible and complimentary to other land uses in
the Industrial Park district and are of comparable intensity to permitted I -1
district uses. Furthermore, the traffic generated by the use must be within the
capacity of available public facilities and not have an adverse impact on the
Industrial Park or the community. Given these criteria and the applicant's
proposal, the staff is of the opinion that all of the standards for this type special
use permit can be met.
Perhaps the biggest concern, as with other commercial type uses in this industrial
building, has to do with available parking. The Commission will perhaps recall the
last special use permit application involving this same building, that being
Application No. 86032 submitted by Spiritual Life Ministries, Inc. That
application was approved by the City Council in September of 1986 and involved
religious and educational uses in the space formerly occupied by Viking Gym. A
large portion of the parking available on the site was required for the Spiritual
Life Ministries' use due to the potential for large crowds attending various
educational and religious services. However, these times are considered to be off-
peak from that of the other uses housed in this building.
The parking requirement, based upon use of the 1,300 sq. ft. proposed by this
applicant, would be 13 parking stalls. Given the uses already in existence on the
3 -26 -87 -1-
Application No. 87006 continued
site, the vast majority of the 282 parking spaces are already allocated. There is a
"proof -of- parking" lot for 71 parking stalls on the northwest portion of this site
and given the configuration of the building, there is certainly potential for
additional parking on the site in the northerly parking area.
Approval of this application should acknowledge that parking for the proposed use,
as well as other uses already in the building, will not be complicated because of the
off -peak nature of the Spiritual Life Ministries use and the fact that there is space
available on the site for additional parking. An acknowledgement, from the owner
of the building, to provide additional parking on the site should be a condition of
the approval of this application.
All in all, we feel that this application is in order and the Standards for Special
Use Permits can be met and recommend approval subject to the following conditions:
1. Tenant improvement plans are subject to review and approval by
the Building Official with respect to applicable codes prior to
the issuance of building permits.
2. The special use permit is subject to all applicable codes,
ordinances and regulations and any violations thereof shall be
grounds for revocation.
3. The special use permit is issued to the applicant as operator of a
communications service center involving a retail showroom for
displaying and selling electronic equipment as well as an office
in conjunction with this operation. No other commercial
activity is acknowledged by this special use permit approval.
4. The owner of the property shall acknowledge his responsibility
for guaranteeing the striping and delineating of additional
parking stalls at the northwest corner of the site upon a
determination by the City that parking demand on the site exceeds
the available number of parking spaces.
5• Special use permit approval is exclusive of all signery which is
subject to the provisions of Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Peter M. Koole, City Assessor
DATE: March 30, 1987
SUBJECT: House File No. 1124, Schreiber, Voss, Minne
I have some concerns with House File 1124 regarding the sections starting in
Subdivision 7 dealing with the division of duties between the Local and County
Assessor. This bill would remove the authority to view and appraise the value
of commercial, industrial and employment property from t
ym p p y he City ssessor and
i places it with the County Assessor, y
Subdivision 8, Section 13 allows the County Assessor to designate the local
Assessor "view, appraise and recommend to the County Assessor the value of com-
mercial cial and industrial u trial property if i the local Assessor is a full -time employee
of the to
cal ni
u t of over
nmen
g t; the local Assessor or full -time appraiser
ser
employed by the local unit of government has senior accreditation from the State
Board of Assessors by January 1, 1989; and (iii) the local Assessor has adequate
and current records on the appraisal of commercial and industrial ro ert lo-
ca
ted in
P P y
the local unit of government.
Subdivision 9, removes the authority of the local board of equalization to
review the assessment on commercial, industrial and employment property.
M.S. 273.063 is amended to apply to the above provision. This statute gives
cities of the first class and cities over 30,000 in population the duties and
powers of the County Assessor.
The loss of authority under M.S. 273.063 I view as critical. In practice, this
has allowed us the freedom and authority to assess property, under state law,
as we see it in the best interests of the City. We may negotiate and settle
appeals in the best interests of Brooklyn Center which may or may not coincide
with County -wide interests.
„74 . Nou �„
Page 2
Outlined below are some observations of the roblems
p this bill has in it;
1.) Total removal of commercial - industrial property assessment
authority from local units of government segments the assess -
ment and erodes the power of local government further. This
has the effect of destabilizing the property tax system and
confusing the taxpayer.
2.) The appointment by the County Assessor of a full -time local
Assessor to appraise commercial - industrial property may pre-
vent some assessors who are full -time assessors, but not an
employee of any one city from assessing commercial- industrial
property. These would be joint assessment districts.
3.) The appointment of a local Assessor by the County Assessor
depends upon the local Assessor holding the Senior accred-
itation designation. The State Board of Assessors does not
even require that all County Assessors be Senior accredited,
however any employee of the local unit would have to be.
This would have cost implications for small jurisdictions.
4.) Removal of the authority of the local board of equalization
to review the commercial industrial assessment will confuse
taxpayers and fly in the face of local control and repre-
sentation of a local tax.
5.) Removal of the authority and control over commercial - industrial
property assessments by city government further abrogates the
Cities authority over its own affairs by its elected and sub-
sequently appointed officials. It can be proven that even in
Counties with a full County Assessor system, commercial- industrial
property assessment is often below state standards. Those local
Assessors in the metro area and places like Duluth, Marshall,
Willmar, Moorhead, etc. who are doing a good job and often lead
their Counties in proffessionaiism and competence should not be
placed in a compromised and difficult position of serving two
masters.

RESOLUTION REGARDING HOUSE FILE 1124 PERTAINING TO REMOVAL
OF RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY FROM THE LOCAL ASSESSOR
RESOLUTION NO.
WHEREAS, House File No. 1124 has I been introduced in the
1987 Minnesota Legislature; and
WHEREAS, in part, the effect of this legislation would be
to remove ultimate responsibility and authority for the assessment of
commercial and industrial property from the City Assessor; and
WHEREAS, the further effect of this legislation would be to
no longer permit the review of the assessment of commercial and
industrial property by the Brooklyn Center Board of Equalization; and
WHEREAS, this legislation would allow a County Assessor to
designate a City Assessor to view and appraise commercial and
industrial property, however, in some counties said City Assessor
would be required to have a higher level professional designation
from the State Board of Assessors than the appointing County
Assessor; and
WHEREAS, under this bill, designated City Assessors who may
be appointed to appraise commercial and industrial property must be a
full -time employee of said local unit of government thus apparently
prohibiting those full -time assessors now employed by more than one
taxing district under contract in joint assessment districts from
performing said duties; and
WHEREAS, , the effects of this action would confuse
taxpayers, de- stabilize the administration of the property tax system
and further erode the ability of local governments to arrange and
control local affairs; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center
supports efforts to improve and strengthen assessment practices and
standards in Minnesota.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Brooklyn Center that:
1. The Legislators representing the City of Brooklyn
Center oppose those parts of House File No. 1124 and
its companion Senate File No. 1185 that remove
assessment responsibility and authority from the City
Assessor and local Board of Equalization.
RESOLUTION NO.
2. The bill be amended to achieve improved and
strengthened assessment practices and standards while
maintaining the City of Brooklyn Center's
responsibility and authority for assessment and
equalization under existing legislation.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Patti Page, Administrative Aid
DATE: April 1, 1987
SUBJECT: Request to Transfer Chairs to Liquor Stores and Fire
Department
I have received requests from the Liquor Stores Manager and the
Assistant
� g
Fire Chief regarding the chairs which
g have recently
ntl
Y
been declared surplus property. I have given 26 chairs to the
Police Department and have approximately 66 chairs left. The
Liquor Stores have requested four chairs and the Fire Department
five. This would leave approximately 57 chairs to be sold to
other cities or at the auction. I recommend transferring the
chairs to these two departments unless we want to consider buying
new chairs for these department in the 1988 budget.
Unfortunately I have not received much response regarding the
sale of the used chairs. By trading chairs with the Police
Department we have a much poorer quality of chairs to offer for
sale
I believe we
may have to sell them m at the auction or to a
private party for much less than we had anticipated. This will
result in a cost over run in the Unallocated Departmental Expense
budget for office furniture.
I have drafted a resolution transferring an appropriation from
the ntin e
co
nc
g y fund to cover the cost over run of the new
furniture.
If and when the old chairs are sold the money will be
credited to the general fund.
t
Member introduced the following
resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1987 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
WHEREAS, Section 7.09 of the City Charter of the City of
Brooklyn Center does provide for a contingency appropriation as a
part of the General Fund Budget, and further provides that the
contingency appropriation may be transferred to any other
appropriation by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, Section 7.08 of the City Charter does provide
for the increase of a budget appropriation by the City Council if
the actual receipts exceed the estimates, but not to exceed the
actual receipts; and
WHEREAS, the actual receipts for office furniture exceed
the appropriation in the Unallocated Department Expense budget by
$2,148.28.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Brooklyn Center to amend the 1987 General Fund Budget as
follows:
Increase the Appropriations for the following line items:
Unallocated Departmental p ntal Expense #80,
Office Furniture #4551 $2,148.28

TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works
DATE: April 2, 1987
RE: Public Utility Rate Study
Following the City Council's discussion, City staff has developed the following
supplemental information:
1. Water Utility Use Rates
Three additional alternatives (i.e. Options D, E and F) have been developed
and analyzed. y Following is a description of those options:
Option D is identical to Option B (previously described), except that the
first rate increase would not occur until the January 1, 1988
billing (in lieu of effecting that increase on July 1, 1987).
Option E also assumes that the first rate increase will not occur until
January y 1, 1988. Howeve r, this option tion rovides a major , increase
p p f
from $0.35,,per 1,000 gallons to $0.45 per 1,000 gallons (a 28.6%
increase) at that first step, then smaller increases
(approximately 6% per year) thereafter.
Option F again assumes that the first rate increase will not be placed into
effect until January 1, 1988. Under this option the rate is
increased equally (i.e. $.04 per 1,000 gallons each year) over a 5
year period. On this basis, the average rate of increase is
approximately 8 percent per year.
The attached appendices and graphs show the effects of these options on
rates and on reserve funds. Our studies indicate that the projected
reserve in the Water Utility Fund by 1997 will be as follows, under each of
the 6 options:
April 2, 1987
Page 2
Option Projected 1997 Reserve
A $3.4 million
B 7.1 million
C 9.7 million
D 7.0 million
E 7.2 million
F 6.8 million
2. Sanitary Sewer Use Rates
Only one additional option (i.e. Option D) has been developed and analyzed.
That option provides the same step increases previously recommended in
"Option B ", but again, delays the first step increase to january 1, 1988.
As shown on the attached appendix and chart, and from the original study
report, the projected reserve in the Sewer Utility Fund by 1997 will be as
follows, under the various options:
Option Projected 1997 Reserve
A (depleted to 0 in 1996)
B $4.1 million
C 5.5 million
D 3.9 million
Recommendations
1. It is our opinion, that any of the following options for Water Utility rates
will allow this utility to be operated and maintained at an acceptable
level of service: Options B, D, E or F.
2. It is our opinion that either Options B or D for Sewer Utility rates will
allow the Sewer utility to be operated and maintained at an acceptable
level of service.
3. It is recommended that whichever alternate(s) is chosen the resolution
which is adopted by the City Council should establish the rates for the
next 5 years, i.e. through 1992, but with the provision that 1991 and 1992
rates could be adjusted by Council action if a study indicates the need for
such adjustments.
4. It is suggested that the quarterly charge for a delinquent account be
changed to 11 $3.00 or 10% - whichever is greater" in lieu of the "$56.00 or
10% whichever is greater" - if the City Council feels this will still
provide adequate incentive to avoid delinquencies. Note: It is our
opinion that the $5.00 charge does more accurately reflect actual costs for
administration. However, the principal question is one of providing an
adequate Q incentive.
i
April 2, 1987
Page 3
5. The curb stop /standpipe repair charge should be established at $40.00 as
recommended. However, we will develop a more definitive basis for making
this charge only when there is sufficient evidence that the property owner
or his agent is responsible for the damage.
We recommend this matter again be discussed at the April 6, 1987 Council
meeting, and that the City Council then direct staff to prepare the appropriate
resolution for official consideration at a subsequent meeting.

RE: Temporary Restraining Order Relating to Contract 1987 -E
Improvement Project No. 1987 -03
Brookdale 16" Watermain Improvement
At the March 23, 1987 City Council meeting, the Council awarded a contract for
construction of this watermain project to 0 & P Contracting, Inc. On the basis
of its conclusion that 0 & P had made an error in submitting its bid and had
submitted a letter stating that an error had been made, the City Council waived
that irregularity, found 0 & P to be the lowest responsible bidder and awarded
the contract to them.
On the morning of March 25 a notice was served on the City indicating that
Northdale Construction, Inc. (the apparent second low bidder) had filed a
petition for a Temporary Restraining Order. A court hearing on that petition
was held that same afternoon. On the following day, the court issued the
Temporary Restraining Order (see copy attached) and scheduled a hearing on a
temporary injunction for< April 8th.
Please be advised that I am reviewing the City's options with our City Attorney.
Our verbal report and recommendations will be submitted to the City Council at
their April 6, 1987 meeting.
Res ectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM
In determining whether to issue a temporary restraining
order, the primary factor to consider is whether the movant
will suffer immediate and irreparable harm if the restraining
order is not granted. Rule 65.01, Minn. R. Civ. P. The
court should also consider the same five factors employed
in determining whether a temporary injunction should issue.
M.G.M. Liquor Warehouse International, Inc. v. Forland
371 N.W.2d 75 (Minn. App.._1985). Those factors ar.e:
1. The nature of the relationship between
the parties before the dispute giving rise to the
request for relief;
2. The harm to be suffered by the moving party
if the temporary injunctive relief is denied as
compared to that.inflicted on the non - moving party
if the injunction issues pending a hearing;
3. The likelihood of success on the merits;
4. The public interest; and
5. Administrative burdens in enforcing a
temporary decree.
. Dahlberg Bros., Inc. v. Ford Motor Co. 272 Minn. 264, - 274 -75,
137 N.W.2d 314, 32`1 -22 (1965).
However, since a motion for a temporary restraining order
is a summary proceeding, these five factors will not be
applied with the same scrutiny as compared to a full hearing
for a temporary injunction. 2A Herr and Haydock, Minnesota
Practice § 65.3 (1986 Supp.).
This Court finds that a temporary restraining order is
appropriate in this instance. "An award of a public contract
to one other than the lowest bidder does not entitle the
lowest bidder to a recovery of damages from the municipality,
nor to an action to recover profits which he might have
made had his bid been accepted." Telephone Associates v.
St. Louis County Bd ., 364 N.W.2d 378, 382 (Minn. 1985) quoting
10 McQuillan, The Law of Municipal Corporations § 29.83 at
426 (3d Ed. 1981).
If it is determined that the bidding procedures
employed by City of.Brooklyn Center were improper (i.e.,
accepting an allegedly defective bid from the lowest
bidder, 0 & P Construction Company),then plaintiff would
have been the lowest bidder and could have been entitled
to the contract. See Telephone Associates, supra. A
temporary restraining order is necessary to maintain the
status quo between the parties, as plaintiff would have
no adequate remedy at law if defendant and 0 & P Construction
Company wrongfully entered into the contract at issue.
From the limited information the Court has before -it,
it appears there is at least a "likelihood" of success on
l
the merits, and the public interest would best be served by
having a full hearing on this matter as their tax dollars
are directly involved. There will be little to no prejudice
against the defendant by the short delay occasioned by the
scheduling of a full hearing and the bond provided for shall
be sufficient to cover any potential burden placed on the
City.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Gambling License Application for American
Legion Post #630
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Attached please find a copy of an April 1 memorandum from the
Police Chief to myself covering the background of the gambling
license application from the American Legion Post.
While the Post has made some strides in correcting problems at
the
Club we're still experiencing .complaints and problems
especially as it relates to the involvement of individuals who
either pled guilty to or are concurrently charged with gambling
violations at the Legion Club. These individuals are apparently
still involved in the operation of the Legion Club and, as I
understand the Council's discussions with the Legion Club at
their license reinstatement hearings, the Council simply does not
want those individuals involved in the Club operation.
• Because of this continued involvement, it - - is my recommendation
that the City Council object to the issuance of a gambling
license to American Legion Post #630.
Respectfully s mitted,
Gerald G. Spl nter
City Manager
