Adjournment HA dof y CITY 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY OF :BROOKLYN BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 TELEPHONE 561 -5440 C ENTER EMERGENCY - POLICE - FIRE 911 TO: All Department Heads FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: June 5, 1987 RE: Summer Water Use Restrictions Water use restrictions will be implemented on June 5, 1987. (See attached release.) We expect a number of phone calls to Public Utilities during the day and to the Police Dispatcher, the Park and Recreation office and anyone else receiving calls after hours. Most callers will ask if restrictions are on and if so, when can they sprinkle. We ask that all City employees understand the restrictions so they are able to • answer these questions. The attached material explains the implementation plan for water restrictions and it answers most of the questions the public would ask. If there are any other questions, the callers should be referred to Stasia at extension 136 during normal working hours. Please distribute copies of this information to those employees with after hours contact with the public. Call Bo Spurrier, extension 113, if you have any questions regarding the attached material. A dry, mild winter and dry, warm spring have created conditions under which a water shortage could occur this year. The water shortage would be due to high use, primarily, because of lawn and garden sprinkling. The conditions producing the shortage would change as soon as there is significant precipitation. The City's plan for water restrictions would be implemented in three stages: STAGE 1 is a request for voluntary water conservation throughout the City. Voluntary water conservation means that leaking fixtures are repaired, unattended hoses do not pour water down the gutter and sprinklers water plants and not pavements. These and other voluntary measures that avoid waste and help conserve water. Residents should look for other water conservation measures where unattended water use occurs. Water conservation is most critical between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. SJA 2 is implemented if voluntary water conservation is not enough to avoid a water shortage. Stage 2 measures restrict the use of water for lawn and garden sprinkling on an "odd -even" sprinkling plan where only those residents with odd numbered addresses would be able to use water for lawn and garden sprinkling on odd numbered days and only those residents with even numbered addresses would be able to use water for lawn and garden sprinkling on even numbered days. In addition to these water use restrictions, the City would contact large • commercial and industrial users to voluntary reduction in use. STAGE 3 is implemented if a water shortgage occurs after implementation of a Stage 2 restriction. Stage 3 is a total prohibition of use for lawn and garden sprinkling. It is anticipated that this measure would only be needed if complete or near complete power failure or other loss of production occurred. These restrictions would be lifted once potential demand had decreased to a point where water use restrictions were not required. PROCEDURES FOR NOTICE TO PUBLIC The City would implement water use restrictions by announcing the restrictions on major television and radio stations; on the City's government access cable station; and in the City's official paper, the Brooklyn Center Post. ENFORCEMENT Enforcement of these restrictions will be accomplished by the use of enforcement personnel. City Ordinances provide that failure to comply with such restrictions is a misdemeanor. Warning tags would be issued to first -time offenders. For subsequent violations "hard- tickets" will be issued. • DUET EMERGENCY W 0 GE Y ELL REPAIRS THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IS IMPLEMENTING WATER USE RESTRICTIONS FOR SPRINKLING.

The restrictions were implemented in order to reduce water use while one of the City's largest wells is out of service for emergency repairs. We are requesting the assistance and cooperation of our large volume water users in voluntarily reducing water use while the restrictions are in effect. The most effective help for us would be shifting water use to off -peak hours (8 p.m. • to 8 a.m.) and reducing total water use by conservation. Several of our large volume water users have multiple addresses which would, in effect, permit sprinkling every day. We request that you voluntarily establish a program of sprinkling on alternate days. We appreciate your cooperation in helping the City during these water use restrictions. If you have any questions please contact me at 561 -5440, extension 113. *Rrr / r r '� M AU-AMERKA M : r • CITY 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY OF :BROOKLYN F BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 E TELEPHONE 561 -5440 1 ENTER EMERGENCY- POLICE - FIRE 911 TO: Jim Lindsay, Chief of Police FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: June 5 1987 RE: Water Use'Restrictions An effective implementation plan for water use restrictions requires the assistance of the Code Enforcement personnel. The water use restrictions are being implemented in accordance with Section 4- 202 of the City Code which specifies that: "The City of Brooklyn Center hereby reserves the right to limit the use of water from the City water supply and distribution system and to prescribe emergency conditions for use of water." On the orders of the City Manager or the Director of Public Works, Stage 2 or Stage 3 water use restrictions shall be imposed. Water use restriction announcements will be given to all major radio and television stations. The announcement will also be given to the dispatcher and Public Works employees. A sample copy of the announcement is attached. If there are any questions regarding the implementation of water use restrictions call Bo Spurrier at extension 113. � 19b61ll-AMERI(A CRY %� 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 MAY 18, 1987 CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in regular session and was called to order by Mayor Dean Nyquist at 7:13 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Dean Nyquist, Councilmembers Gene Lhotka, Celia Scott, Bill Hawes, and Rich Theis.

RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) The City Manager presented a Resolution Authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to Enter into an Agreement with the Domestic Assault Intervention Project. Councilmember Lhotka inquired if there was a report due from the Domestic Assault Intervention Project prior to approval of funding. The City Manager stated he believed this report was due at budget time. Councilmember Lhotka stated in the future he would like to have a report when the Council is approving a contract. RESOLUTION NO. 87 -111 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DOMESTIC ASSAULT INTERVENTION PROJECT The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Rich Theis, and the motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION ITEMS ORGANIZED REFUSE COLLECTION AND RECYCLING PROGRAM The City Manager briefly reviewed the Hennepin County Ordinance Regarding Solid Waste Separation. He noted the cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, and 5 -18 -87 -3- r I Crystal are parties to a Joint Health Service Agreement, and the cities have used this agreement to develop the rudiments of a "Recycling Program" for the citizens of Brooklyn Center. He noted the recycling center locations are a start, but much more will have to be done to reach the required 16% goal established by the County. He stated he is requesting the Council to authorize _ him to enter into initial discussions with the licensed refuse haulers of the three cities to develop a Joint Powers Operation. This would address the mandated changes in refuse collection, source separation, recycling, compost collection, and other matters related to the cities meeting their requirements for reduced land fill dependency. Councilmember Hawes inquired if the City, in the future, will take over billing for garbage hauling along with water bills. The City Manager stated City staff would prefer to avoid this area. Mayor Nyquist stated he has recently read the entire Hennepin County ordinance and has a few concerns regarding this ordinance. Councilmember Theis stated the City will have to solve this problem either alone or with the cities of Brooklyn Park and Crystal, and it may be best if the cities join together. RESOLUTION NO. 87 -112 Member Rich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION DIRECTING STAFF TO PROCEED WITH INFORMATIONAL MEETINGS WITH REFUSE COLLECTORS TO EXAMINE THE POTENTIAL OF ORGANIZED REFUSE COLLECTION. IN THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly econded b y y member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed unanimously. REPORT ON FEASIBILITY OF BROADCASTING CITY COUNCIL AND COMMISSION MEETINGS ON CABLE TELEVISION The City Manager reviewed the report prepared for this item and discussed the areas which would need improvement and their possible costs. He added the City does have copies of tapes from other City Council meetings. He noted these sample tapes range from the least to the most sophisticated type of broadcasting. Councilmember Lhotka stated he would like to review parts of each tape at a Council meeting. Councilmember Scott stated using only one camera is usually very ineffective, and she would not suggest using this type of set up for Council meetings. She added the lighting and sound quality in the Council Chambers is very poor, and if the Council is considering broadcasting of meetings, corrections should be made to these two areas. She stated if the Council and Commission meetings are going to be broadcast on cable TV she believes it should be done correctly so the City is not sending a bad image across the air waves. The City Manager stated if the Council is considering broadcasting of public meetings the cost for the necessary corrections to the lighting and sound quality in the Council Chambers should be included in the 1988 budget. He added, in the meantime, staff could do some experimental taping of Council 0 5 -18 -87 -4- meetings for the Council's review, and the Council could review the tapes from other cities. He stated he agrees with Councilmember Scott's comments that if the broadcasting is to be done it should be done well or not at all. REVIEW OF ADVISORY COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS ON THEIR ENABLING RESOLUTIONS,_ AND BYLAWS The City Manager stated changes have been made to the enabling resolutions and bylaws for the advisory commissions, and the individual commissions have reviewed the proposed changes and made additional recommendations. He noted if the Council wished to review these recommendations more closely the item could be deferred to another meeting. Mayor Nyquist stated he has some concerns with eliminating the residency requirements for the Housing Commission. He stated he does not see the rationale for this change, however, he could see some merit in allowing nonresident property owners a seat on the Housing Commission. Councilmember Theis stated a parallel was drawn between the advisory commissions and the ad hoc committees within the City. He stated the Housing Commission felt there may be resources which cannot be tapped through City residents. He added the Commission believes the residency requirement would widen the frame of resources available to the Housing Commission. Councilmember Scott stated she believes only representatives of the City, not outsiders, should be making decisions concerning the City. Councilmember Theis stated the Housing Commission did try to limit the number of nonresidents so that outsiders would not be in the majority. Councilmember Lhotka stated he believes there is other ways for the City and its advisory commissions to tap the outside resources without making a nonresident a member of the commission. He added he also has some concerns regarding the name change and the reduction in members for the Human Rights Commission. There was a general consensus to table review and consideration of advisory commission's recommendations regarding enabling resolutions and bylaws. ORDINANCE The City Manager presented An Ordinance Amending Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances Regarding Off- Premise Advertising Signs. He noted this item was first read on April 20, 1987, published in the City's official newspaper on April 30, 1987, and is offered this evening for a second reading. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on An Ordinance Amending Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances Regarding Off- Premise Advertising Signs and inquired if there was anyone present who wished to speak at the public hearing. No one requested to speak and he entertained a motion to close the public hearing. There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Theis to close the public hearing on An Ordinance Amending Chapter 34 of the City Ordinances Regarding Off- Premise Advertising Signs. The motion passed unanimously. ORDINANCE NO. 87 -04 Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption: 5 -18 -87 -5- AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 34 OF THE CITY ORDINANCES REGARDING OFF- PREMISt ADVERTISING SIGNS The motion for the adoption of the foregoing ordinance was duly seconded by member Rich Theis, and the motion passed unanimously. PUBLIC HEARING - PALMER LAKE TRAIL SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS The City Manager stated a public hearing has been scheduled for this evening regarding the proposed Palmer Lake Trail System Improvements and noted citizens in the area were informed of the meeting. The Director of Public Works briefly reviewed the existing conditions at Palmer Lake with regard to the trail system and added over the past year Brooklyn Park has been developing the northerly portion of the trail system connecting with Brooklyn Center. He stated there is a continuous trail around Palmer Lake with the exception of the area along 69th Avenue and Oliver Avenue North to the park. He briefly reviewed the recommendations submitted for the trail improvements and noted the total cost estimate of these recommendations is $51,700. He stated there is LCMR and LAWCON funds available for these improvements, as long as the improvements are made by the end of 1987. He added the additional funding could be appropriated from the capital projects fund. Councilmember Lhotka requested the Director of Public Works to explain the segment 1 improvements more clearly. The Director of Public Works stated initially this entrance was constructed with a very steep grade to slow people down before entering 69th Avenue. He stated this type of construction has actually worked the opposite way, and staff is now proposing a slight modification to lessen the grade. Councilmember Lhotka inquired why staff is proposing segment la which runs parallel to an existing trail. The Director of Public Works stated this area has the highest amount of traffic and by adding another trail, pedestrian and bike traffic could be separated. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing regarding Palmer Lake Trail System Improvements. He recognized Howard Oien, 6919 Oliver Avenue North, who stated he was originally against the trailway behind the homes because of the chance of vandalism and other activities at night.` He stated at this point he is not happy with the prospect of having a trailway in his back yard and a sidewalk in his front yard. The Director of Public Works stated the proposed trailway would be on the fringe of the trees which is approximately 100 feet from the property line. Mayor Nyquist recognized Kipton Narbo, 6937 Oliver Avenue North, who stated he believes the trailways, as they are now constructed, are too twisted which is contributing to many accidents which may or may not be reported. He stated the straighter the trailway, the safer it would be. He added he felt proposed segment 3a would be a very dangerous area after softball games. The City Manager stated staff will look into the possibility of straightening the trailway if the Council wishes. Councilmember Lhotka inquired if it would be possible to lay bituminous over segment 3b. He also inquired how close to the ball field this trail actually is. The Director of Public Works stated the present trail runs right along the fence line and the area is not an ideal area for bituminous. He explained the 5 -18 -87 -6- area is very damp, has poor drainage, and the life span of the bituminous trail would be greatly reduced in this area. Councilmember Lhotka inquired what the life span of the bituminous trails would be in a dry area versus a wet area. The Director of Public Works stated the life expectancy of a bituminous trail in a dry area would be approximately 15 to 20 years, and the life span of a bituminous trail in a wet area would be 5 to 10 years. Mayor Nyquist stated he believes the bituminous trail behind the ball field to be a better alternative than a trail across the parking lot. Councilmember Lhotka inquired if it would be possible to place the trail around the parking lot rather than across the entrances. The Director of Public Works stated it might be possible but the trail would then be running across a high activity area of the park, which may be as bad as across the parking lot entrances. He noted none of the options for this area are even close to ideal. Mayor Nyquist inquired if there was anyone else present who wished to speak at the public hearing, no one requested to speak and he entertained a motion to close the public hearing. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to close the public hearing on Palmer Lake Trail System Improvements. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Nyquist stated it appears there is a general consensus among Councilmembers that segment 2 of he gm t proposed trailway should be straightened, and alternative options around the ball field and parking lot should be explored. There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka authorizing the following improvements: segment la; modification of segment 2 to straighten trail and place trail closer to the edge of the tree line; and explore all possible alternatives for segment 3b of the trailway. Councilmember Lhotka stated he would like to amend the motion so that staff will further explore the possibility of a new location for segment 3a. Councilmember Scott and Councilmember Theis agreed to this amendment. Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion and the amendment, the amended motion passed unanimously. TEMPORARY ON -SALE INTOXICATING LIQUOR LICENSE FOR ST ALPHONSUS CATHOLIC CHURCH The City Manager stated State law and City ordinance now allow for a temporary on -sale intoxicating liquor license to be held by any club, or charitable, religious or other nonprofit organization. He stated the license must be in connection with a social event within the City sponsored by the licensee. He stated this would be the first license of this type which the City will have issued. Councilmember Lhotka inquired what specifically St. Alphonsus Church would be selling. The City Manager stated they intend to sell strong beer and wine coolers. 5 -18 -87 -7- There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Scott to approve a temporary on -sale intoxicating liquor license for St. Alphonsus Catholic Church. The motion passed unanimously. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

Also present were City Manager Gerald Splinter, Director of Public Works Sy Knapp, Finance Director Paul Holmlund, City Assessor Peter Koole, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere, HRA Coordinator Brad Hoffman, Personnel Coordinator Geralyn Barone, and Administrative Aid Patti Page. INVOCATION The invocation was offered by Father Shea of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church. CONTINUATION OF BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MEETING The City Manager stated that two cases had been held over from the May 11, 1987, Board of Equalization meeting. The City Assessor briefly reviewed the case of Neil and Susan Grindheim and added the City Attorney does concur with his recommendation regarding this homestead classification. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott to concur with the City Assessor's recommendation to decline the homestead classification for the property belonging to Neil and Susan Grindheim, PID #25- 119 -21 -31 -0090. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Nyquist stated he believes the entire City Council would prefer to vote in favor of the homestead classification for Neil and Susan Grindheim, but it appears there is no way the Council can legally award a homestead classification for this home. The City Assessor presented the next case submitted by Kevin Smith, PID# 34 -119- 21-11 -0076. The City Assessor stated he had received a copy of an engineer's report and soil borings for the vacant lot belonging to Mr. Smith. He stated it is his recommendation that the Board of Equalization reduce the 1987 estimated market value from $18,500 to $3,500 because of the extensive soil problems on this lot. There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to concur with the City Assessor's recommendation reducing the 1987 estimated market value from $18,500 to $3,500 for PID# 34- 119 -21 -11 -0076. The motion passed unanimously. 5 -18 -87 -1- I ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to adjourn the Board of Equalization meeting.

CITY 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY OF B:ROOKLYN BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 C ENTER TELEPHONE 561 -5440 ENTER EMERGENCY - POLICE - FIRE 911 To: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works From: Bo Spurrier, City Engineer Date: June 3, 1987 Re: Utility System Improvements To Serve The Earle Brown Commons Improvement Project No. 1986 -20, Contract 1986 -P Attached is a resolution accepting the work performed under Contract 1986 -P, Utility System Improvements as Required to Serve the Earle Brown Commons. The work performed under -this contract had substantial changes as a result of unforeseen conditions encountered during construction. I have attached a sketch of the major change, a change that accounted for the major overruns and restoration and pipe. As the sketch illustrates, a hidden manhole on a private storm sewer resulted in major contract cost increases because of a grade conflict. The increases related to mobilization, restoration and pipe costs because all of the structure pavement and sod removal was complete along the planned alignment before the grade conflict was discovered. Mobilization costs increased because the contractor was shut down until a revised alignment, minimizing additional pipe cost, could be prepared. It is therefore recommended that City Coucicil adopt the attach resol-ation. The additional project costs incurred as a result of the overrun will be invoiced to the HRA. The HRA will cover this cost with tax increment district funding. Respectfully submitted, Appro ed for submittal, f H.

Those claims have been forwarded to the contractor's bonding company and paid by the bonding company. - It is my understanding that the contractor is in the process of bankruptcy. - The contractor's bonding company submitted claim to the "balance due" remaining under the contract. - Our City Attorney advised us that the bonding company's claim should not be honored unless the bonding company indemnifies the City from any lawsuit brought against the City by the contractor. - After several exchanges of correspondence .... the bonding company has submitted the required letter of indemnification.

That order was not resolved and vacated until April 30, 1987. The thirty six day delay prevented the contractor from ordering the special pipe materials to cross the parking lot at Center Brook Golf Course. The special type materials were custom made and required 45 days for delivery. The restraining order delayed placement of the i e order and so 'n P P i an effort to recapture lost time due to the restraining order, 0 & P Contracting has ordered and used pipe from an alternate supplier. The alternate supplier was more expensive than the original supplier by an amount of $2,082.12 (see attached claim). 0 & P made the decision to pay this additional cost on their own, without our approval. However, we did advise them that if a claim were submitted we would consider its merit before approving or rejecting it. After receiving and evaluating this claim it is our opinion that the City benefitted by reducing the delay and inconvenience to the golf course construction project. It is therefore recommended that City Council approve the attached resolution.

Spurrier, City Engineer DATE: June 4, 1987 RE: Emergency Repairs to Well No. 8 Improvement Project No. 1987 -17 Attached is a resolution establishing Improvement Project No. 1987 -17 (emergency repairs to Well No. 8), accepting quotation and approving contract therefore. On Wednesday, May 20, 1987, a routine check of Well No. 8 revealed that a cave in had blocked the cavity 14 feet below the well casing. Given the fact that a similar obstruction had been removed in 1985 it was my conclusion that the well could not operate in that condition because of the danger of drawing excessive amounts of sand through the pumps causing serious damage to the pumps as well as discharging sand into the distribution system. Specifications for emergency repairs were prepared and distributed to two contractors that have routinely performed well maintenance in the City of Brooklyn Center. The bids were extremely close. The low bid of $12;900.00 was submitted by Keys Well Drilling, Inc. Subsequent to receipt of the bids we have discovered other work that would be necessary to safeguard against further cave ins. The complete scope of that work cannot be determined until the sediment now in the well cavity is bailed out. It is recommended that the Council adopt the attached resolution.

Bid Item No. 1 (Reroofing) Three contractors submitted bids for this portion of the work. Unfortunately, the proposal submitted by W.H. Cates Construction, Inc. was incomplete in that it does not show unit prices for the two "add items" and it does not show a total bid for this bid item. (See attached copy of their proposal form.) The numbers which they show for the two add items do not make sense either as "unit prices" or "total prices" for the work contemplated. At my request, CMA contacted W.H. Cates to ask for a clarification of their intent. Cates responded that their intended bid was as follows: Base Bid $248,000 Add Item No. 1 34,000 (total price) Add Item No. 2 1.000 (total price) Total Bid $283,000 This simply confirms our conclusion that this proposal is incomplete and inconclusive, and that it should be rejected. Accordingly, the lowest responsible bid is that submitted by John A. Dalsin and Son, Inc. CMA advises that Dalsin is a highly reputable contractor who has completed many projects successfully. Bid Item No. 2 (Interior Remodeling and Redecorating) Five contractors submitted bids for this portion of the work. The lowest bid was submitted by JMG C�li�lwtig.

Also present were Director of Planning and Inspection Ronald Warren, City Engineer Bo Spurrier and Mary Lou Larsen, Recording Secretary. Chairman Lucht noted that Commissioners Carl Sandstrom and Ann Wallerstedt were unable to attend this evening's meeting and were excused. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - April 9 1 1987 Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Ainas to approve the minutes of the April 9, 1987 Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, and Nelson. Voting against: none. The motion passed. Commissioner Nelson abstained as he was -not at the meeting. APPLICATION NO. 87007 (Shingle Creek Land Company) Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of business, a request for revised landscape plan approval for the central parking lot at the Shingle Creek Business Center. The Secretary reviewed the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 87007 attached). Chairman Lucht stated that no public hearing is required, but the applicant is present to answer any questions the Commission may have. Mike Mallon, representing Shingle Creek Land Company, clarified that the landscape area would be 49' wide, north to south, rather than the 54' indicated by the Secretary. Commissioner Bernards inquired regarding the lighting in the parking lot. The Secretary stated that there would be lighting in the central parking lot. Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to approve Application No. 87007 subject to the following: 1. The performance agreement and financial guarantee being held to assure completion of the central parking lot shall not be released in its entirety until all landscaping, consistent with this approved plan, has been installed and has proved to be viable. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, Nelson and Bernards. Voting against: none. The motion passed. APPLICATION NO. 87008 (Maranatha Conservative Baptist Home, Inc.) The Secretary introduced the next item of business, a request for rezoning from R1 5 -21 -87 -1- (One- Family Residence) to R6 (Multiple- Family Residence) of approximately the westerly 3.2 acres of the approximate 7 acre Maranatha Nursing Home site located at 5401 69th Avenue North. The purpose of the rezoning is to allow eventually the construction of a four story, 64 unit apartment complex for elderly residents which would be attached to the nursing home. The Secretary reviewed the staff report ( see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 87008 attached). The Secretary noted the difference between Brooklyn Center's R6 zoning and Brooklyn Park's R6 zoning, Brooklyn Park's R6 zone allows multiple- residential dwellings of 2 112 to 3 stories in height, while the Brooklyn Center R6 zone allows multiple - residential dwellings of 4 or 5 stories in height. Brooklyn Park's R6 is comparable to Brooklyn Center's R5 zoning district. The Secretary explained preliminary plans have been reviewed by staff and comments sent to Hennepin County regarding access, dedication of right -of -way, and consideration of the plat. Chairman Lucht noted that there is a public hearing scheduled and the required notices have been sent to surrounding property owners within 350 ft. of the site and also, a notice has been sent to the Northwest Neighborhood Advisory Group. Commissioner Nelson asked if the project can be limited to elderly housing or can any other use be allowed as long as it is considered a permitted use in the R6 zone. The Secretary stated that if the property were rezoned to R6, all uses listed as permitted or special could be comprehended for the property. He added that the City cannot guarantee, with the rezoning, that only elderly housing would be possible. He pointed out that there is always a risk that some other use permitted in the zoning district could come about. He stated, however, that if there is no action within two years after a property is rezoned, the City could -initiate an action to down zone the property. Commissioner Bernards inquired as to when the demographic study was done for the proposal. This question was referred to the architect who spoke at a later time. Chairman Lucht called on the applicant to speak. David Viland, Administrator for Mararanatha Conservative Baptist Home, Inc. explained that this facility has been Brooklyn Center's only nursing home for 24 years and they are now considering senior development. He pointed out that even with the rezoning they would continue to operate a 106 bed home licensed by the State of Minnesota. Mr. Viland further explained that in 1980 Maranatha was considering a proposal for condominiums designed for the elderly. He feels they could contribute to the needs of the elderly in Brooklyn Center. The project is being coordinated by the Housing Group and Wolterstorff Architects. Chairman Lucht asked the applicant if this building is similar to Golden Valley Covenant Manor. Mr. Viland stated that it is. David Wolterstorff, architect for the project, next explained his firm's involvement with the project. He stated that the demographic study was done in the fall of 1986 indicating a need for 130 additional elderly housing units in this area. Surveys were sent out to surrounding residents explaining the development. Mr. Wolterstorff explained that this is not subsidized housing and an apartment building, not a nursing home, but is associated with it. There will be guidelines to follow before moving into a unit, and rules and regulations as to how the unit is left when a tenant moves out. Each unit will have its own kitchen and either a one - bedroom, two - bedroom, or assist -care unit will be offered. Activity programs, parties, events, educational seminars, party rooms, greenhouse, and a craft room will be offered to residents. 5 -21 -87 -2- Mr. Wolterstorff then reviewed a proposed conceptual site plan for the project. He explained the construction of the building will be of brick and stucco and have bay windows to look more residential to the surrounding neighborhood. He next reviewed possible floor plans, elevations and the landscaping. The Watershed District has also been contacted. Mr. Viland expressed his appreciation for City staff cooperation. He stated that Maranatha would like to continue on schedule to avoid a rise in construction costs. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Lucht opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked if anyone present wished to speak regarding the application. Arvid Sorenson, 6901 Toledo Avenue North, stated he had no objection to the project, but had reservations regarding the R6 zoning. The Secretary explained that in this case the height and density proposed dictate the need for R6 zoning. A discussion ensued regarding R6 zoning. David Viland responded to Mr. Sorenson's inquiry by stating that Maranatha is dedicated to continue to provide benefits for the elderly and their intent is long range. Chairman Lucht inquired as to the background of Maranatha. Fir. Viland stated that Maranatha is freestanding affiliated through Fellowship Conservative Baptists of Minnesota; their financial position is strong with little outstanding debt. Further discussion ensued relative to the rezoning request. Chairman Lucht inquired if anyone else wished to speak during the public hearing. The Chairman noted that the public hearing should be continued until after receiving comments from the Northwest Neighborhood Advisory Group. ACTION TABLING APPLICATION NO. 87008 (Maranatha Conservative Baptist Home, Inc. Wtion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to table Application No. 87008, continue the public hearing, and refer the proposal to the Northwest Neighborhood Advisory Group for review and comment. A tentative meeting is scheduled for June 2 and property owners will be notified of the time and place of that meeting. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, Nelson and Bernards. Voting against: none. The motion passed. DISCUSSION ITEMS The Secretary briefly reviewed business items for the June 11 meeting which includes special use permits for a day care center at Cross of Glory Lutheran Church and possibly a group home at 5240 Drew Avenue North. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, Nelson, and Bernards. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:33 p.m. airman 5 -21 -87 -3- Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 87007 Applicant: Shingle Creek Land Company Location: Shingle Creek Business Center Central Parking Lot Request: Landscape Plan Approval The applicant is requesting approval of a revised landscape plan for the landscape area located in the Shingle Creek Business Center Central Parking Lot. The Planning Commission should recall that part of the consideration of a special use permit requested under Planning Commission Application No. 87007 (approved by the City Council on April 20, 1987) for accessory off -site parking involved an amendment to the landscape area separating the north and south portions of the central parking lot. In April, 1987 while considering this application, the applicant requested that the landscape plan for the central parking lot be deferred because they were considering some additional modifications. Originally, the City Council on September 8, 1986 had approved a proposal by Lombard Properties, Inc. to construct an elaborate landscape plaza with two pools and a pavillion under Planning Commission No. 86033. The plan offered this evening is scaled down from that proposal. The landscape area would be approximately 54' wide, north to south, and approximately 270' long, east to west. It would contain a nonlighted meandering concrete walkway with four sitting benches. The area would be sodded and contain numerous trees and shrubs ( 5 Imperial Locusts, 3 Norway Maples, 16 Green Spruce, 9 Radiant Crab, 4 Snowdrift Crab, 10 Japanese Tree Lilac, and a number of Maney Junipers, Winged Euonymus, and Narrow Leaf Hosta).` The over 1,000 red geraniums indicated on the April, 1987 plan would not be included. All in all, the plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended subject to the following: I. The performance agreement and financial guarantee being held to assure completion of the central parking lot shall not be released in its entirety until all landscaping, consistent with this approved plan, has been installed and has proved to be viable. 5 -21 -87 Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 87008 Applicant: Maranatha Conservative Baptist Home, Inc. Location: Approximate westerly 3.2 acres of the Maranatha Nursing Home located at 5401 69th Avenue North Request: Rezoning The applicant requests rezoning from RI (One - family Residence) to R6 (Miltiple- Family Residence) of approximately the westerly 3.2 acres of the approximate 7 acre Maranatha Nursing Home site located at 5401 69th Avenue North. The purpose of the rezoning is to allow eventually the construction of a four story, 64 unit apartment complex for elderly residents which would be attached to the nursing home. The property in question is currently zoned R1 and is located along the south side of 69th Avenue North in the northwestern portion of Brooklyn Center. The property is bounded by 69th Avenue North (Hennepin County State Aid Highway No. 130) and the Island Ponds Townhouses (zoned R3) and a single family residence (zoned R1) on the north; by single - family residences abutting Toledo Avenue North on the east; by single- family residences abutting 67th Avenue North on the south; and the boundary line separating Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park on the west. In Brooklyn Park there is an apartment complex located to the west of the Maranatha Nursing Home and the Brooklyn Park zoning of that property is R6. It should be noted that there is a difference between the Brooklyn Park R6 zone and the Brooklyn Center R6 zone. Brooklyn Park's zone allows multiple- residential dwellings of 2 1/2 to 3 stories in height, while the Brooklyn Center R6 zone allows multiple - residential dwellings of 4 or 5 stories in height. Brooklyn Park's R6 zone is comparable to Brooklyn Center's R5 zoning district. The Maranatha Nursing Home, as mentioned above, is located on land zoned RI and is considered to be a special use under Section 35 -310, subdivision 2 g of the Zoning Ordinance as a "noncommercial use required for the public welfare in an RI district." Not all of the Maranatha property is proposed to be rezoned, only the approximate 3.2 acre area needed for the elderly residential facility. The remainder would stay RI and the nursing home would continue to exist on the remaining 3.8 acres. The allowable density of multiple - residential dwellings under the proposed R6 zoning is one unit for every 2,200 sq. ft. of land area (approximately 20 units per acre) and the maximum height of the building is 4 or 5 stories. Maranatha, if the rezoning request is approved, will propose a four - storey, multiple - residential dwelling for elderly residents of 64 units, which would be considered a permitted use in this proposed R6 zoning district. The applicant has submitted their written evaluation as to how they believe their proposal meets Section 35 -208 of the City's Zoning Ordinance (Rezoning Evaluation Policy and Review Guidelines) which is attached for the Commission's review. It is the stated policy of the City that rezonings must be consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and also, not constitute "spot zoning" which is defined as a zoning decision which discriminates in favor of a particular landowner and does not relate to the Comprehensive Plan or to accepted principles. The guidelines (a through i of Section 35 -208) and the above stated policy are the basis upon which the rezoning proposal is to be measured. 5 -21 -87 -1- Application No. 87008 continued Regarding the Comprehensive Plan, it should be noted that the Land Use Plan Revisions Map (Figure 15 and Table 14) makes no comment regarding future possible zoning changes in this particular area. The Neighborhood Policy Plan for the i Northwest Neighborhood is also silent on such a proposal. However, Policy No. 14 in the Land Use Policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan on Page 82 states "encourage the development of housing design specifically for the elderly and handicapped through the use of federal and state programs as well as private actions." Based ultimately on a finding by the City Council, the proposal could be considered consistent with this recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan and, therefore, not constitute "spot zoning" as defined in the Zoning Ordinance. Further evaluation of this ro osal must be made based on th p p e g uidelines contained in a through i of Section 35 -208. I The applicants contend there is a clear and public need or benefit from their proposal by indicating that the area could support over 130 senior housing units for the Brooklyn Center area. They state that Brooklyn Center has the senior population and these seniors would like to stay in the area. They note that studies were done including demographics, site location, market demand, project feasibility and similar facilities in the surrounding area which to them indicates to them a public need or benefit from their proposed project. Point b of the guidelines asks the question "is the proposed zoning consistent with and compatible with land use classifications ?" The applicants respond that the nursing ome is located ca ed in an R1 g district and that it is a special use in that district. They add that their proposal for the housing project is next to the Baptist Home and that the area around the proposed site is an Rl district with the most affected area abutting along an R6 zoning district which exists in Brooklyn Park. We have previously pointed out the difference's between the Brooklyn Park R6 zoning district and the Brooklyn Center R6 zoning district. In Brooklyn Center an I R6 district allows multiple- residential dwellings between 4 and 5 stories in height at a density of one unit for every 2200 sq. ft of land area. The Brooklyn Park R6 zoning district, which allows multiple - residential dwelling buildings of 2 112 to 3 stories in height is more comparable to Brooklyn Center's R5 zoning district. The R5 zoning district in Brooklyn Center would allow multiple- residential dwelling buildings of 2 1/2 to 3 stories in height at a density of one- unit -for every 2,700 sq. ft. of land area (approximately 16 units per acre). The applicants go on to point out in their written comments that Point c of the guidelines can also be met. They note that they are currently preparing plans for a 4 story project containing a barber shop on ground level along with other common areas in the entry foyer. They add that accessory uses will include off - street parking and off - street loading, garages and a rental office for the projec e � They g g g A J Y add that no pools or tennis courts are proposed. The applicants go on to point out that the subject property will be designed to meet the R6 zoning designation, with building size, parking, setbacks, etc., all being addressed and presented to show the best possible design for their proposed project site. The o on to point out that th Y g p believe that the undeveloped portion of the Maranatha Nursing Home property is generally unsuited for development as single - family residential purposes and point out that a rezoning to R6 would allow a housing project on the site, keeping it multiple - family residential. Their letter in addressing Point h of the guidelines notes that the City's Comprehensive Plan encourages the development of housing design specifically for the elderly. They state that Feranatha's goal is to offer seniors, who can still 5 -21 -87 -2- L Application No. 87008 continued live independently, the opportunity to live in a quality, affordable living facility. They also point out that the location of the elderly residential facility would be in close proximity to the existing home. They add that the housing project and nursing home would be able to share staff and offer many social and recreational activities for both facilities which they believe is a growing concern for elderly people. (It should be noted that this multiple - residential facility for the elderly is not a nursing home) . The applicants also go onto point out that the proposal also benefits the City of Brooklyn Center in a number of ways. One is that the City could retain residents who need affordable housing and convenient health care and would not have to move from the City to find it. Secondly, the project would bring in new residents to the community attracted by the facility and its amenities. Third, the project could free up housing as seniors sell their homes to younger families allowing them to purchase housing in the Brooklyn Center community. They also point out that ancillary services such as grocery, banking, retail, etc., will benefit by added residents and they also note the generation of real estate taxes (it should also be noted that Maranatha is a nonprofit corporation and it is possible that, as such, this facility might be exempt from paying real estate taxes). They conclude their written comments by noting that they believe their proposal demonstrates merits beyond their own particular interests by offering seniors an independent lifestyle and a complete package of service and amenities that will help seniors of Brooklyn Center enjoy a convenient and stress free life. Consistent with the practice of the Planning Commission with rezoning proposals, it is recommended that the public hearing on this matter be open for comment and continued, and the matter be referred to the appropriate Neighborhood Advisory Group, in this case, the Northwest Neighborhood Advisory Group, for additional review and comment. Hopefully, this can be accomplished and a written summary of the Neighborhood Advisory Group recommendations submitted to the Planning Commission within 30 days. The Planning Commission has 60 days from the introduction of this application this evening in which to formulate its recommendations to the City Council. 5 -21 -87 -3- JL 69TH q o CITY 7 CREEK " ' 5 MAINTENANCE BUILDING -' 'Q a OPEN SPACE 67TH AVE. - - -- m _ /6 R5 APPLICATION NO.

Splinter, City Manager FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: June 4, 1987 RE: Palmer Lake Trail Improvements - Supplemental Report (Note - the original report, dated 4/29/87, is attached) Based on the discussion of this project at the May 18 Council meeting, our department has conducted additional evaluations and analysis of alternate routes. The following report is provided for consideration by the City Council. Segment 2 On the attached map we have shown two alternate alignments for this segment. Alignment 2A g shows the originally _ proposed location modified to eliminate the reverse curve, as suggested by the City Council. This alignment is within the wooded, brushy area, approximately 20 feet from the open swamp grass portion of Palmer Lake. This alignment follows an old path (now seldom used) and lies between 100 feet and 140 feet from the westerly property line of the homes along Oliver Avenue. The vegetation consists of brushy willow, cottonwood trees and many varieties of grasses and brush. This alignment would not require the removal of any trees - only small brushy willows and grasses. Soil conditions along this alignment consist of silty clay, sandy clay and sand. Accordingly, the proposed construction would consist of leveling the existing vegetation, placing geotextile fabric, 12 inches of granular fill, 4 inches of aggregate base and 2 inches of bituminous surface. We estimate the life expectancy of a trailway along this alignment at 15 to 20 years. The cost estimate for this alignment is $21,300. 0 0' c.��, "" roaa m•uaciu an r June 4, 1987 Page 2 Alignment 2B is the alternate suggested by several of the residents along Oliver Avenue. This alignment follows along the westerly side of the wooded area (about 20 to 30 feet westerly of alignment 2A). Vegetation along this alignment g is primarily swamp grass. Soil conditions along this alignment are wet silty clay (i.e. inorganic marl) which has very minimal bearing capacity. Accordingly, construction along this alignment would require leveling the existing vegetation; placing of geotextile fabric, 24 inches of granular fill, 4 inches of aggregate base and 2 inches of bituminous surface. Even with this heavier construction, settlement must be expected, and the life expectancy of this e p y section would be reduced to less than 10 years. The cost estimate for this alignment is $27,900. Segment 3 Since the May 18 meeting we have considered several alternates, i.e.: Alignment 3A - as originally proposed Alignment 3B - as originally proposed Alignment 3B - using a floating boardwalk or wharf -type construction Other alternate alignments - somewhere between 3A and 3B. Following is our evaluation of these alternates: Alignment 3A As noted by the City Council, this alignment does have the disadvantage of crossing both driveways for the parking lot at the athletic fields. While the use of stop signs for exiting traffic and warning signs for incoming traffic should provide protection for trail users, the potential for serious accidents would still exist. Alignment 3B - (as originally proposed) Additional review of this alignment indicates that soil conditions here are substantially better than we previously assumed. It is now apparent that the soil correction which was done in conjunction with construction of the athletic fields was extended fcLr enough out to support a bituminous trail outside of the outfield fence - essentially following the existing woodchip trail. Accordingly, construction along this alignment would consist of placing a geotextile fabric over the existing woodchip trail, adding 6 inches of granular fill, 4 inches of aggregate base and 2 inches of bituminous base. Because of the fact that soil correction has previously been accomplished and has stabilized, the life expectancy for this construction is now estimated at 15 years. Our cost estimate for this alignment remains at $15,000.00. June 4, 1987 Page 3 Alignment 3B - using a floating boardwalk. This alternative was briefly investigated. Two basic alternatives are generally used, i.e.: Type 1 "Styrofoam pillows" with wood frame decking Type 2 Polyethylene floats, with wood frame or polyethylene decking The cost estimate for a Type 1 system is approximately $30 to $50 per foot (x 1,200 feet = $36,000 to $60,000) and has a life expectancy of less than 5 years. The Type 2 system has a cost estimate of $120 to $200 per foot (x 1,200 feet $144,000 to $240,000) and has a life expectancy of 10 to 25 years, depending on type of material used for decking. Because of the high costs, this alternate is not recommended. Other Alternate Alignments - No other alternates are considered feasible or safe. Recommendations Based on this information, we recommend that the project be constructed following alignments 1, 1A, 2A and 3B. The estimated project cost based on these alignments is summarized as follows: Section 1 $ 9,960 Section IA 12,500 Section 2A 21,300 Section 3B 15.000 TOTAL $ 58,760 A resolution approving the selection of these alignments is submitted for consideration by the City Council.

Splinter, City Manager FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: April 29, 1987 RE: Palmer Lake Trail Improvements Attached hereto is a map which shows pedestrian and bicycle trailways in the East Palmer Lake area. You will that there is no connection between the existing trailways on 69th Avenue and the trailway system in the vicinity of East Palmer Lake Park. That connection was considered several years ago but was deleted from consideration at that time because of objections from property owners along Oliver Avenue North, with the understanding that construction of the segment might again be considered at some future date. Since that time the number of people using the trailway systems in the Palmer Lake are has increased substantially, numerous requests have been received from residents for construction of this segment of the trailway system, the Park and Recreation Board has recommended that it be considered for construction in 1987, and the City of Brooklyn Park has initiated and nearly complete4 construction of its trailway system at the north end of Palmer Lake Park. Accordingly, we have attached, for consideration by the City Council, another map showing proposed construction. On this map we have shown the improvement of several segments of the trailway system as follows: Segment 1 includes the reconstruction of the existing trail in the area just north of the 69th Avenue trail crossing. At the crossing the grade would be raised to improve the crossing approach. The access to the City's snow storage site would also have to be rebuilt in order to make the grades for that facility be compatible with the trail crossing grade. In addition, Segment 1 includes the construction of a new bikeway trail approximately parallel to the existing trail on the north side of 69th Avenue (Segment 1A) so as to allow the pedestrian traffic and bicycle traffic to be separated in this area. Alternatively, the map also shows the possible bituminous paving of the existing woodchip trail which lies approximately halfway between 69th Avenue and Palmer Lake (Segment 1B). April 29, 1987 Page 2 • Segment 2 proposes the construction of the "missing link" of the trailway system between the 69th Avenue trailway and East Palmer Lake Park, with a connection to Oliver Avenue North at the south edge of East Palmer Lake Park. Segment 3 shows the construction of a trailway system across East Palmer Lake Park to connect to the existing trailway system north of East Palmer Lake Park. Segment 3A would be a new trailway constructed near and approximately parallel to the sidewalk which exists along the west side of Oliver Avenue North. Alternatively, Segment 3B shows the possible bituminous paving of the existing woodchip trail which follows along the westerly side of East Palmer Lake Park. Construction Procedures and Cost Estimates Nearly all of the proposed construction would occur in the areas of questionable subgrade material. Accordingly, it is proposed to utilize geotextile fabrics 12 feet wide to support the proposed trailways. The construction procedure would be to place the geotextile fabric directly over the existing vegetation which has been flattened and left in place, placing approximately 12 inches of granular subgrade materials, 4 inches of a Class 5 granular aggregate, and a bituminous surface which is 2 inches thick and 10 feet wide. In areas where the subgrade is acceptable the geotextile fabric will be deleted from the construction. Following are cost estimates for each of the individual segments which we have suggested for your consideration: Segment 1 69th Avenue North entrance modifications i Construction Cost $ 7,170.00 Engineering, Overhead & Contingencies (25 %) 1.790.00 $ 9,960.00 Segment lA Trail parallel with 69th Avenue North Construction Cost $10,000.00 Engineering, Overhead & Contingencies (25 %) 2.500.00 $12,500.00 April 29, 1987 Page 3 Segment 1B Bituminous surface of existing woodchip trail Construction Cost $14,200.00 Engineering, Overhead & Contingencies (25 %) 4.700.00 $18,900.00 Segment 2 Connection from south side of East Palmer Lake Park to trail Segment lA or Segment 1B Construction Cost $16,000.00 Engineering, Overhead & Contingencies (25 %) 5.300.00 $21,300.00 Segment 3A Connection along Oliver Avenue North from south end of park to existing bituminous trail at 71st Avenue North Construction Cost $ 6,000.00 Engineering, Overhead & Contingencies (25 %) 2.000.00 $ 8,000.00 Segment 3B Bituminous surface of existing woodchip trail along westerly perimeter of ball fields Construction Cost $11,250.00 Engineering, Overhead & Contingencies (25 %) 3.750.00 $15,000.00 The staff recommended alignment consists of Segments 1, 1A, 2 and 3A. It is recommended to leave Segments 1B and 3B as woodchip nature trails. Estimated total costs are as follows: Segment 1 $ 9,960.00 Segment lA 12,500.00 Segment 2 21,300.00 Segment 3A 8.000.00 $51,760.00 April 29, 1987 Page 4 Alternate alignment Segment 1 $ 9,960.00 Segment lA 12,500.00 Segment 2 21,300.00 Segment 3B 15.000.00 $58,760.00 Alternate alignment Segment 1 $ 9,960.00 Segment 1B 18,900.00 Segment 2 21,300.00 Segment 3A 8.000.00 $58,160.00 Additional Considerations If the City Council wishes to consider proceeding with the proposed improvements, it is recommended that a hearing on the matter be scheduled for May 18th, and that staff be instructed to send individual notices to each of the residents who live adjacent to Segment No. 2 notifying them of the hearing. The accounting for this project should be completed in the Capital Projects Fund, Division 53 "Palmer Lake Basin ". This division presently has a balance of $22,815.00. (This balance includes $5,908.63 of unexpended LCMR funds which are available for construction of improvements in Palmer - Lake Park if those improvements are completed during 1987.) In addition, the City's LAWCON Grant for Palmer Lake Park has an unencumbered balance of $5,399.04 which also is available for improvements in Palmer Lake Park if those improvements are completed during 1987. If the project is approved for construction, the additional funding, as needed, should be appropriated from the City's Capital Project Fund Balance. Because of the proposed trailway system improvements lie within the Palmer Lake Flood Plain area, a permit for construction of those segments must be obtained from the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission. If directed to do so by the City Council, City staff will prepare and submit that application to the Watershed Commission.

Splinter, City Manager FROM: Geralyn R. Barone, Personnel Coordinator DATE: May 14, 1987 SUBJECT: Resolutions and Bylaws of Advisory Commissions In March 1987, the City Council received resolutions updating, revising, and unifying the enabling resolutions and bylaws for the Housing, Human Rights, and Park and Recreation Commissions. The Council also received and has addressed an ordinance amendment and resolution regarding the Planning Commission. The Council directed the Commissions to review and make recommendations to it on the proposed changes. The commissions have completed their reviews, and their recommendations are enumerated below. The recommendations apply to the proposed resolutions submitted to the Council in March. (All materials previously received by the Council are again attached.) Below, bracketed material should be deleted, and underlined material should be added. Changes to asterisked items will affect all advisory commissions. The recommendations from each of the commissions are listed separately.

Lakotas noted that money is budgeted for these activities from Earle Brown Days, Inc. He added that he went to the City Council recommending the name change, and the Council referred this to the Park and Recreation Commission for review and recommendation. Commissioner Peterson said the name of Constitution Park does not do anything for him, and Central Park does. The Director of Recreation pointed out that people are starting to know what Central Park is, especially since there is Sunday in Central. Park, Entertainment in the Park, and so on. Lakotas noted that having a number of Central Parks in the area is confusing. The Director of Recreation agreed, but said he feels the Park is finally getting an identity as Central Park. Other suggestions he could make include doing something out front of City Hall or in the plaza area of Central Park, such as naming it Constitution Plaza. Chairman Sorenson said the idea of naming Constitution Plaza was a good one, and also suggested naming the golf course after the Constitution. Commissioner Krefting said he likes the idea of the plaques along the trailways. The Director of Recreation pointed out that there will be problems with vandalism if the plaques are installed along the trailways. He suggested that the plaques may be better off if they are put up in areas where they are watched, such as in front of City Hall or in the plaza in the park. Lakotas said he recognized there are some dangers, but the plaques would not be something that could be easily broken. The Director of Recreation noted that the City will be remodeling the Social Hall in the Community Center, and the City may want to rename the Social Hall as Constitution Hall and erect the plaques inside the hall. Lakotas said this may not be a bad idea, and suggested that a sign could be installed outside the hall to designate it as Constitution Hall. There was general discussion about this idea, and Lakotas said he could bring this idea back to the Constitution Committee. There was a motion by Commissioner Peterson and seconded by Commissioner Manson to postpone further discussion on this request until the May 19, 1987 Park and Recreation Commission meeting. The motion passed. REVIEW OF PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION ENABLING RESOLUTION AND BYLAWS Chairman Sorenson proceeded to review the resolution changing the current enabling resolutions for the Park and Recreation Commission. He noted the Conservation Commission would be eliminated, and the Park and Recreation Commission would assume some of the responsibilities of the defunct Commission. Under Section V, Subdivision 10 of the resolution, Chairman Sorenson 4 -21 -87 -2- pointed out that the Park Service Area Committees have not met for some time, and questioned the continued need for them. He suggested that the functions of these committees may be combined with the Planning Commission's Neighborhood Advisory Groups. After some discussion, the Commission recommended changing Subdivision 10 to read "Monitor and reflect attitudes and - concerns of citizens relative to the park system, recreation programs, and conservation matters through informal contacts and meetings of Neighborhood Advisory Groups.' There was discussion by the Commission regarding attendance at the Commission meetings, particularly the attendance of Commissioner Propst who has not been at the last three meetings. The Commission requested the Recording Secretary to send a letter to Commissioner Propst asking about his intentions for continued service on the Commission. The Recording Secretary said unexcused absences are noted when Commissioners do not call to say they will not be in attendance at a meeting. This will be conveyed to Commissioner Propst in the letter. Proceeding to review the resolution, Chairman Sorenson pointed out that in Section VII, Subdivisions 2 and 4, the conservation function is not included. This should be added to this section. Chairman Sorenson noted that there are some inconsistencies throughout the resolution on the use of "his" and "his /her ". To be consistent throughout, one or the other should be used. Chairman Sorenson suggested the section on Commissioners serving without compensation should be discussed further, and it was decided that this would be a discussion item at the September Park and Recreation Commission meeting. I The Commission recommended the portion of Subdivision 11 of the enabling resolution regarding the responsibilities of Park Service Area Committees be deleted. However, the definition of the Park Service Areas should remain in the resolution as these are necessary for determining the appointments to the Commission. There was a motion by Commissioner Manson and seconded by Commissioner Peterson to accept the changes just recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission, and to forward these recommendations on to the City Council. The motion passed. The Commission then proceeded to review the Commission bylaws. Chairman Sorenson suggested that in Article 2 regarding meetings, the word "monthly" be deleted. The Commission discussed Article VII regarding general provisions. Chairman Sorenson expressed concern that this section, as stated, puts a muzzle on the Commissions and especially the chairperson, and is in direct conflict with the 4 -21 -87 -3- duties of the chairperson as outlined in the enabling resolution. There was discussion on the effect of this statement, which has good and bad points. One good point is that it maintains control over the abuse of a commissioner's role. Commissioner Peterson said he feels this statement is too restrictive, and Councilmember Hawes suggested leaving a general statement in the bylaws, but loosening the current wording up a bit. Chairman Sorenson suggested an exclusion for the chairperson, and the Commission agreed with this statement. Under Article VIII, Chairman Sorenson recommended adding the. statement "Newly Revised" after "Robert's Rules of Order ". Regarding Article IX, Chairman Sorenson suggested that the vote by the City Council to change the bylaws be made consistent with the past bylaws, which required more than a majority vote for approval of changes. The Commission agreed that the vote by the City Council should be a 4/5 vote, as opposed to a majority vote. There was a motion by Commissioner Manson and seconded by Commissioner Peterson to recommend to the City Council these changes to the bylaws as recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission. The motion passed. RECES The Park and Recreation Commission recessed at 8:55 p.m. and reconvened at 9:00 p.m. TELEVISING COMMISSION MEETINGS ON CABLE TV The Recording Secretary reviewed the City Council minutes from March 23, 1987, which noted staff was assigned to investigate the options available for televising the meetings. There was discussion on the status of the research of this issue. Chairman Sorenson pointed out that he would like to see the City Council liaison to each commission give a short comment or review on the activities of their last commission meeting at the City Council meetings. The Recording Secretary said she would forward this suggestion on to the City Manager. YEAR 2000 ASSIGNMENTS The Recording Secretary reviewed her memorandum to the Commission dated April 21, 1987. There was a motion by Commissioner Manson and seconded by Commissioner Peterson to recommend to the City Council to include as a 1988 budget request item funding for retaining a professional consultant to conduct a feasibility study of the undeveloped parkland areas at North Twin Lake, including the peninsula, island, beach, and northern end, as well as the Kylawn Preserve area. The motion passed. NORTH MISSISSIPPI REGIONAL PARK Counciimember Hawes said the City Council passed a resolution that approves everything east of Lyndale Avenue North as a bike 4 -21 -87 -4- MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION APRIL 14, 1987 CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center Housing Commission met in regular session and was called to order by Vice - Chairperson Dolores Hastings at 7:35 p.m. ROLL CALL Vice- Chairperson Dolores Hastings, Commissioners Todd Paulson, Phil Cohen, Ron Turner, and Barb Jensen. Also present were Councilmember Rich Theis and HRA Coordinator Brad Hoffman. Chairman Felger and Commissioner Haroldson were excused from this evening's meeting. APPROVAL OF MINUTES- FEBRUARY 17 1987 There was a.motion by Vice - Chairperson Hastings and seconded by Commissioner Cohen to approve the minutes of the February 17, 1987 Housing Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously. HOUSING COMMISSION BYLAWS Brad Hoffman introduced the next agenda item by reviewing proposed changes to existing bylaws of the Housing Commission. He noted the changes were made to make the operational bylaws of all the commissions, with the exception of the Planning Commission, the same. A lengthy discussion then ensued relative to absenteeism on the part of commission members. It was a unanimous consensus of the Housing Commission that the bylaws of the Housing Commission should reflect that any three consecutive absences or the failure to attend a majority of the scheduled meetings by a member would constitute an automatic resignation. It was agreed that individuals who are ill would also be terminated but would be allowed to reapply for the next opening on the commission. Commissioner Paulson felt that the mechanisms were currently present in the bylaws but were not being enforced. A discussion then ensued, and it was agreed that enforcement of the provisions being recommended for the bylaws would be enforced by the staff who would in turn inform the Mayor of the automatic resignations. There was a motion by Commissioner Jensen and seconded by Commissioner Cohen that the bylaws be amended to reflect that a member missing three consecutive meetings or a majority of the meetings within one year would constitute an automatic resignation. It was also the responsibility of the staff to inform the Mayor of such automatic resignations. The motion passed unanimously. 4 -14 -87 -1- Commission members then discussed the ability to bring non - residents into the commissions. Following a lengthy discussion, there was a motion by Commissioner Cohen and seconded by Commissioner Theis to allow up to one -third of the commission members to be non - residents; however, they had to be employed in Brooklyn Center for a minimum of one year prior to appointment. OTHER BUSINESS Brad Hoffman reviewed the Summary Statement of Trends, Issues and Goals to be discussed at the Year 2000 planning meeting on May 2 and indicated that the commission members were invited to attend. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Paulson and seconded by Commissioner Cohen to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously, and the Brooklyn Center Housing Commission adjourned at 8:45 p.m. Chairman 4 -14 -87 -2- [ L L � r •y r � L r S MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR. SESSION MAY 13, 1987 CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center Human Rights Commission met in regular session and was called to order by Councilmember Lhotka at 7:39 P.m. ROLL CALL Commissioners Sullivan, McCumber, Eckman, Seburg, Wallerstedt, and Stoderl. Also present were Councilmember Lhotka and Recording Secretary Geralyn Barone. Chairman Kuhar was absent from this evening's meeting. Councilmember Lhotka announced he had received a letter of resignation from Commissioner Slupske. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - APRIL 8 1987 There was a motion by Commissioner Wallerstedt and seconded by Commissioner Eckman to approve the minutes of the April 8, 1987, meeting as submitted. The motion passed. REVIEW OF COMMISSION'S ENABLING RESOLUTION AND BYLAWS Councilmember Lhotka said in the 1960's human rights commissions were started during a time of racial disorder. The role of the Brooklyn Center Human Rights Commission has changed considerably over the last several years, and many of its activities are no longer traditional human rights issues. Commissioner Wallerstedt pointed out in Subdivision IV of the enabling resolution the duties and responsibilities are still heavily related to human rights. If the Commission considers a name change, it may wish to look at changing the duties and responsibilities also. There was considerable discussion on whether or not to change the name of the organization. Several ideas include Human Resources Commission and Human Services Commission. Commissioner Sullivan reminded the members of the motion presented by Commissioner Slupske at the last meeting, which is still on the floor. The motion is to recommend a name change to something more closely defining what the Commission does. Upon the vote being taken on this motion, the motion passed. There was a motion by Commissioner Stoderl and seconded by Commissioner Seburg to recommend to the City Council that the Brooklyn Center Human Rights Commission name be changed to the Brooklyn Center Human Rights and Resources Commission. Commissioner Sullivan said he likes Human Services Commission better, and Commissioner Wallerstedt said he does not like resources because it smacks of personnel. Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the motion passed. 5 -13 -87 -1- "3 The Commission proceeded to discuss Subdivision V of the enabling resolution, which addresses the number of members on the Commission. Councilmember Lhotka pointed out that enough people are needed to get things done, but also there have to be enough people to get a quorum at each meeting. There was discussion of reducing the number of the composition of the Human Rights Commission from eight members and a chairperson to six members and a chairperson. Commissioner Stoderl pointed out that with a larger number, there is more turnover and it is confusing for new members. There was a motion by Commissioner Stoderl and seconded by Commissioner Sullivan to recommend to the City Council the membership of the Human Rights Commission be reduced from eight members and a chairperson to six members and a chairperson. The motion passed. There was discussion of whether or not to change some of the duties and responsibilities in the resolution, and Commissioner Stoderl suggested that this discussion be delayed until the fall Commission meeting when it can be further discussed. The Commission agreed with this suggestion. SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES The Commission reviewed the draft of the report to the City Council on single parent families and discussed whether or not the report should be lengthened. The consensus was that sufficient materials were included in the memorandum and additional information can be provided upon request. There was a motion by Commissioner Sullivan and seconded by Commissioner Seburg to accept the report on single parent families and forward it on to the City Council for their review. The motion passed. The Recording Secretary said this will appear on the June 8, 1987, agenda of the City Council meeting.

Splinter, City Manager FROM: Geralyn R. Barone, Personnel Coordinator DATE: June 4, 1987 SUBJECT: Park and Recreation Commission Recommendation to Investigate Solutions to Problem at Lions Park Little League Field The Park and Recreation Commission recommended at its May 26, 1987, meeting to have the City Council investigate solutions to the problem of baseballs flying out of the Little League field onto Russell Avenue North and into the yards in the neighborhood. Park and Recreation Commissioner Larry Propst resides at 54th and Russell Avenues North, and he brought the problem to the attention of the commission. The remedy suggested by Commissioner Propst is to plant trees along Russell Avenue North at the park. Another commissioner' suggested raising the height of the fence. Minutes from the meeting are attached for your information. PRELIMINARY SUMMER MEETING SCHEDULE Chairman Sorenson asked if there is any need to meet this summer, pointing out there are no pressing issues except the parking problem around the beach area at North Twin Lake. Commissioner Peterson suggested tabling discussion on any items until next fall. The Commission agreed to cancel its June, July, and August meetings. DISCUSSION Commissioner Krefting expressed concern over a change in the proposed pathway at East Palmer Lake. The Recording Secretary and Councilmember Hawes reported on the action taken by the City Council, and there was discussion by the Commission on the proposed pathway. Commissioner Propst pointed out several areas of concern to him in the Lions Park area. One problem is the number of baseballs j being knocked out of the Little League field into his yard, and he would like to minimize the number of balls coming into the street and his yard. He suggested the planting of trees along ussell Avenue North at Lions Park. His second concern related o parking in the street. He said if it is not prohibited, there will be some safety problems with children running around and no " " Stop signs at 54th and Russell Avenues North creating congestion g n in the area. Commissioner Propst requested the installation of "No Parking" signs along Russell Avenue North and the installation of "Stop signs at 54th and Russell Avenues North. RECESS The Park and Recreation Commission recessed at 6*20 p.m. to go on a tour of the golf course, North Twin Lake areas, and Kylawn Preserve The Commission reconvened at 8:24 p.m. THER BUSINESS z The Commission continued its discussion of the items brought forward by Commissioner Propst. Regarding the baseball problem, Commissioner Peterson asked who is hitting the balls into the yard. Commissioner Propst said it is - kids older than Little Leaguers and adults. The Director of Recreation said the Little League will be using the field from approximately 5 p.m. until dark and on weekends, and these are not the people hitting the balls out of the park. Chairman Sorenson suggested planting trees along Russell Avenue North. Commissioner Burnes suggested extending the fence up higher so the balls would not go out. The Director of Recreation pointed out there will be grass planted along Russell Avenue North. Commissioner Propst said he is looking for a preventative measure to minimize the problem. There was a motion by Commissioner Propst and seconded by Commissioner Manson to recommend to the City Council to investigate a solution to the problem of balls flying out of the 5 -26 -87 -2- P RELIMINARY Little League field onto Russell Avenue North and into the yards in the neighborhood. The motion passed. There was a motion by Commissioner Propst and seconded by Commissioner Skeels to forward the traffic requests for "No Parking" signs and "Stop" signs on Russell and 54th Avenues North to the Administrative Traffic Committee. The motion passed. Chairman Sorenson said some of the newer members of the Commission have never been on a tour of all the parks, and he suggested such a tour be conducted in June or July. The Commission scheduled a tour for June 2, 1987, at 6 p.m. The Recording Secretary will make arrangements for a bus or a van. The Commission requested that a route be planned and the golf course, Twin Lake North area, and Kylawn Preserve not be included in the tour. The Commission proceeded to discuss the parking problems in the area of the Twin Lake beach park. Chairman Sorenson said it may not be a bad idea to add some parking and monitor it for a period of time. He suggested parking for cars with trailers only should be allowed. Commissioner Propst asked about posting s sayin P P g g Y g parking is available on the Robbinsdale side of T.H. 100. Commissioner Krefting pointed out Robbinsdale may not like Brooklyn Center pushing its parking problems over to them. The Director of Recreation pointed out that in 1988 a consultant should be looking at the use of the land around the lake. Commissioner Propst suggested finding out what people in the area want regarding parking. Commissioner Peterson suggested waiting until a recommendation is received from the consultant. Commissioner Propst asked if the ball field in the park could be turned into a parking lot, and the Director of Recreation said this would take away a big part of the park. Commissioner Krefting asked if something could be opened temporarily. There was a motion by Commissioner Peterson and seconded by Commissioner Burnes to request the Administrative Traffic Committee to allow parking along the west side of Twin Lake Avenue North next to the vacant land, and to post either the north side or the south side of Lakebreeze Avenue North as parking available for vehicles with trailers only. This would be for a trial period awaiting the consultant's recommendation. The motion ass p ed. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Peterson and seconded by Commissioner Burnes to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed. The Brooklyn Center Park and Recreation Commission ad Y � at 9:03 p.m. Chairman 5 -26 -87 -3- /OF MEMORANDUM i TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager FROM: Geralyn R. Barone, Personnel 'Coordinator DATE: June 2, 1987 SUBJECT: Park and Recreation Commission Recommendation to Rename the Social Hall in the Community Center as Constitution Hall At its April 6, 1987, meeting, the City Council received a request from the Brooklyn Center Constitution Bicentennial Committee to change the name of Central Park to Constitution Park. The Council referred this request to the Park and Recreation Commission for its review and recommendation back to the Council. The Commission has arrived at a recommendation to the Council. The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed the request at its April 21, 1987, meeting and rejected the idea of changing the name of the park. However, in association with the remodeling of the Social Hall this summer, the Commission suggested changing the name of the hall to Constitution Hall. Bill Lakotas, chairman of the Constitution Bicentennial Committee, brought this suggestion back to his committee which approved PP d it. At its May 26, 1987, meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission made the recommendation to the City Council to change the name of the Social Hall to Constitution Hall. Events dedicating the name change could occur on September 17, 1987, the national date for celebration of the Constitution's bicentennial. The local committee will donate a framed Constitution collection and an identifying sign for the hall. Attached are excerpts from minutes of the Council and Park and Recreation Commission meetings regarding this item. 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 APRIL 6, 1987 CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in regular session and was called to order by Mayor Dean Nyquist at 7:05 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Dean Nyquist, Councilmembers Celia Scott, Bill Hawes, and Rich Theis. Also present were City Manager Gerald Splinter, Director of Public Works Sy Knapp, Finance Director Paul Holmlund, Director of Planning & Inspection Ron Warren, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere, Personnel Coordinator Geralyn Barone, and Administrative Aid Patti Page. Mayor Nyquist stated that Councilmember Lhotka is out of town and would be absent from this evening's meeting. INVOCATION The invocation was offered by Mayor Nyquist. OPEN FORUM Mayor Nyquist noted that he had received a request from Bill Lakotas, representing the Brooklyn Center Constitution Committee. Mr. Lakotas stated when the Constitution Committee began planning the celebration for this year they were given a number of suggestions, but as the suggestions were discussed it was found that most of these ideas were quite impossible to implement within Brooklyn Center. He stated he is before the Council this evening to make one request which the committee feels would be possible.- He stated the Brooklyn Center Constitution Committee would `like to request that the City Council consider changing the name of Central Park to Constitution Park. He added the seven articles of the Constitution could be posted along the trailway for people to read as they walk through the park. He stated that if the Council agrees to this name change there could be a dedication ceremony on September 17, 1987 which is the main celebration date for the Constitution. Councilmember Theis stated he believes the Constitution Committee's request merits some thought, and he would like to suggest sending this idea on to the Park and Recreation Commission for their recommendations. There was a general consensus among Councilmembers that this item be passed along to the Brooklyn Center Park and Recreation Commission. CONSENT AGENDA Mayor Nyquist inquired if any Councilmembers requested any items removed from the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Hawes requested item 6 be removed from the Consent Agenda. FINAL PLAT APPROVAL LEARNING TREE DAY CARE CENTER 4 -6 -87 -1- MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION APRIL 21, 1987 CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER Chairman Sorenson called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. ROLL CALL Chairman Sorenson, Commissioners Peterson, Krefting, and Manson. Also present were Councilmember Bill Hawes, Director of Recreation Arnie Mavis, and Recording Secretary Geralyn Barone. Commissioner Skeels was excused from this evening's meeting, and Commissioner Propst was absent from the meeting. Guests in attendance included Mike McLennan representing the Northwest Hockey Association, and Bill Lakotas, Chairman of Brooklyn Center's Constitution Bicentennial Committee. OPEN FORUM Chairman Sorenson recognized Mr. McLennan of the Northwest Hockey Association, who said the association represents the cities of Brooklyn Center, Crystal, Golden Valley, and Robbinsdale. McLennan said the association is sponsoring a softball tournament in June at Evergreen Park, and they would like to sell beer at this event. He said he had heard this Commission would be discussing the ordinance regarding beer in the parks, and he had some concerns regarding this. The Commission discussed: the relationship of this request to the ordinance. Councilmember Hawes recommended that McLennan contact the Police Department, as this request relates to obtaining a license to sell an alcoholic beverage. Such a request would best be handled by the Police Department rather than by the ordinance related to beer in the parks. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - 10 1987 There was a motion by Commissioner Manson and seconded by Commissioner Krefting to approve the minutes of the March 10, 1987 Park and Recreation Commission meeting. The motion passed. [4-21 ONSTITUTION BICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE REQUEST ill Lakotas, Chairman of the Constitution Bicentennial Committee or Brooklyn Center, said in the fall of 1986, he was asked by he Mayor to chair the Constitution Committee. The Committee was iven some suggestions for activities from the state and national onstitution committees with the overall goal of educating people n the Constitution. He stated that Barbara Sexton, a member of he Committee, suggested changing the name of Central Park to -1- Constitution Park, which would include a dedication ceremony, band concert, fireworks, and installation of plaques on each of the seven articles of the Constitution along the walk paths. Lakotas noted that money is budgeted for these activities from Earle Brown Days, Inc. He added that he went to the City Council -- recommending the name change, and the Council referred this to the Park and Recreation Commission for review and recommendation. Commissioner Peterson said the name of Constitution Park does not do anything for him, and Central Park does. The Director of Recreation pointed out that people are starting to know what Central Park is, especially since there is Sunday in Central Park, Entertainment in the Park, and so on. Lakotas noted that having a number of Central Parks in the area is confusing. The Director of Recreation agreed, but said he feels the Park is finally getting an identity as Central Park. Other suggestions he could make include doing something out front of City Hall or in the plaza area of Central Park, such as naming it Constitution Plaza. Chairman Sorenson said the idea of naming Constitution Plaza was a good one, and also suggested naming the golf course after the Constitution. Commissioner Krefting said he likes the idea of the plaques along the trailways. The Director of Recreation pointed out that there will be ro ble ms P with vandalism if the plaques are installed along the trailways. He suggested that the plaques may be better off if they are put up in areas where they are watched, such as in front of City Hall or in the plaza in the he recognized there are some dangers, but the a la Lakotas said be something that could be easily broken. plaques would not The Director of Recreation noted that the City will be remodeling the Social Hall in the Community Center, and the City may want to rename the Social Hall as Constitution Hall and erect the plaques inside the hall. Lakotas said this may not be a bad idea, and suggested that a sign could be installed outside tie hall to designate it as Constitution Hall. There was general discussion about this idea, and Lakotas said he could bring this idea back to the Constitution Committee. There was a motion by Commissioner Peterson and seconded by Commissioner Manson to postpone further discussion on this request until the May 19, 1987 Park and Recreation Commission meeting. The motion passed. REVIEW OF PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION ENABLING RESOLUTION AND BYLAWS Chairman Sorenson proceeded to review the resolution changing the current enabling resolutions for the Park and Recreation Commission.

PROPOSAL BY CONSTITUTION BICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE TO RENAME SOCIAL HALL AS CONSTITUTION HALL Bill Lakotas, chairman of the Constitution Bicentennial Committee for Brooklyn Center, reported that the reaction of the committee to renaming the Social Hall as Constitution Half was very favorable.

Splinter, City Manager FROM: Geralyn R. Barone, Personnel Coordinator DATE: June 3, 1987 SUBJECT: Human Rights Commission Report on Year 2000 Issue on Single Parent Families Attached you will find the Human Rights Commission report to the City Council on the issue of single parent families, which contains several recommendations. At this point, the Human Rights Commission is seeking direction from the City Council, and it does not intend to proceed further until such direction is provided. If you need any additional supporting documentation for items cited in the report, please let me know. MEMORANDUM TO: Brooklyn Center City Council FROM: Brooklyn Center Human Rights Commission DATE: May 13, 1987 SUBJECT: Year 2000 Committee Report Issue #1 on Single Parent Households The first issue identified in the Year 2000 Report Matrix is single parent households increasing as a percentage of households, and the report directs the Human Rights Commission to identify and recommend alternative actions for the City Council's consideration. The commission has been researching, reviewing, and discussing this issue during the past one and one -half years. The following outlines the findings of the commission. The request by the commission to the City Council is to receive further direction on how to proceed from here. The Human Rights Commission has identified several components of the single parent family issue, and a schematic showing the relationship of these components is attached. These components include day care, housing, transportation, teen pregnancy, food, clothing, and health care. All of the components are tied together by coordination of the various services provided to meet these needs. Following is a summary of the Human Rights Commission's research on the components of the single parent family issue as related to Brooklyn Center. DAY CARE The issues related to day care include availability, access, and affordability for the single parent. Child -care considerations may serve as a barrier for some low - income single parents to seek and maintain employment. As of January 1987, there are 72 licensed day care facilities in Brooklyn Center. Of this total, 43 are family day care, 23 are group family day care, four are full day care centers, and two are latch key programs. Additional information defining these types of care will be provided upon request. City services identified by the commission as affected by this component include police service and park and recreation programs. One suggested action is for the City to consider redistribution of federal grant monies, such as Community Development Block Grants, channeling these funds toward increasing the availability and affordability of day care. HOUSING Housing concerns include the fact that the waiting list for single parents in need of two - bedroom housing is two to three years long. Section 8 subsidized housing and Habitat for Humanity (a nonprofit group that renovates or builds houses and sells them, without profit or interest, to low income families) are offered in Brooklyn Center, but the demand is greater than the supply. The whole city is affected by this problem, because if more young people can live and /or work in Brooklyn Center, more tax money could be collected. The Human Rights Commission suggests the City may want to offer grants toward a down payment on a home to single parent families and young couples the same way block grants are offered to repair or fix up homes. Another possibility is to encourage Habitat for Humanity to work with the City for homes for some of these people. The overriding concern is that if the City does not find a way to keep the young people in Brooklyn Center, this will become a City of senior citizens and the tax revenue will decrease. TRANSPORTATION Availability of transportation can enable single parents to get to and from various activities and services which help them become independent, contributing members of the community. Such activities include medical care for themselves and their children, education and training opportunities, job placement services, place of employment, day care, grocery and other shopping, and social activities. Existing programs include a car loan program and emergency assistance dollars for crisis situations through Community Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP); mileage subsidy or bus passes provided on an as- needed basis for the job training and placement program of the nonprofit agency H.I.R.E.D.; Hennepin County Voluntary Services in which volunteers use their own vehicles to transport people to various services or activities, although this is generally a one -time service which does not provide regular service; and the Northwest YMCA in New Hope which makes efforts to provide transportation to program participants on an occasional basis. Suggestions by the commission include improving the bus route system in the city, particularly east -west routes; establishing a "mini -bus" system in the city with local service only; tapping and coordinating the increasing older population as volunteer drivers; and developing an ad hoc transportation committee to explore possible City action. TEEN PREGNANCY It is estimated that single parent households will increase, and the major contributing source of these households are mothers receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). The League of Women Voters have referred to this as the "single -2- mother problem." The majority of the single parents become pregnant before the age of 18, thus the term teen pregnancy. Teen pregnancy is not a single problem, but rather a complex set of related issues and concerns. More than one -half of all AFDC expenditures go to women who completed their first pregnancy as teenagers. Also, these women are more apt to lack education and jobs or the opportunity for job training. They also lack child care necessary if education and job training are to be completed. Not only does teen pregnancy lead to poverty, it is the result of poverty. Low expectations combine with low self esteem and the lack of a successful adult role model. These factors in combination encourage early pregnancy. Several types of systems are in place to deal with teen pregnancy. Those which exist to prevent pregnancy include Planned Parenthood, pro- choice advocates, and education system. Those which provide support to adolescents during pregnancy include the Continuing Education Center (CEC) and Parent Infant Education (PIE). Those which offer support to adolescent parents and their children include AFDC, Hennepin County welfare system, CEAP, Brooklyn Center Park and Recreation singles club, and local churches. Housing, police services, and park and recreation programming are affected by the teen pregnancy issue. Suggestions by the Human Rights Commission include continuing a close working relationship with local school districts; working with licensed day care operations, possibly contributing to day care expenses while mothers attend evening classes; providing services for working mothers with sick children; and improving supervision before and after school for both teens and younger school -age children. The problems associated with teen pregnancy continue to increase without intervention. Eventually a minority of the people will be supporting the majority of the population. The City will then have to cultivate revenue from resources other than property taxes. FOOD Food is an important part of everyones' lives, and the lack of proper nutrition can result in illness, medical bills, and poor learning ability in school. Food shelves and Meals on Wheels are primary resources for food, and existing providers include CEAP, Church of the Open Door Food Ministry, Christians Reaching out in Social Service (CROSS), Greater Minneapolis Food Bank, North Suburban Emergency Assistance Response (NEAR), People Responding in Social Ministry (PRISM), Salvation Army, and the government's surplus commodities distribution program. A concern related to the food issue is the lack of important nutritious foods in the diet. The Human Rights Commission suggests the development of something similar to the Fare Share -3- organization which would include food shelf items of fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat. In the organization, a certain amount of time should be donated by the recipients, giving them a feeling of earning the food rather than receiving a handout. Qualification and confirmation into the program would have to be closely supervised. CLOTHING The need for affordable clothing for single parent families was identified as a concern currently being addressed by LEAP. No additional recommendations were made by the Human Rights Commission on this issue. HEALTH CARE Hennepin County provides a variety of medical services for parents and children. Located in Brooklyn Center is the Hennepin County Women's and Children's Health Program. The program promotes the best possible levels of health, well - being, and safety for women and children in suburban Hennepin County and improves access to health services. These services are available to everyone, but are especially for the use of low - income women and children who are most likely to be in poor health. The Human Rights Commission encourages the acceptance and support of such health care programs which are accessible to local residents. Any assistance the City can give in publicizing the availability of the program and others like it is desired. COORDINATION OF SERVICES Because the components of the single parent family issue overlap, coordination is necessary to best utilize the resources available to the community. The Human Rights Commission supports any efforts which encourage this coordination. The Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council, a joint powers organization created by northwest Hennepin County suburbs, should continue to be utilized as a planning and coordinating resource by the City for the single parent family issue and .other human service issues. SUMMARY The Human Rights Commission supports continued monitoring of the single parent family issue, particularly as it affects City of Brooklyn Center services and revenue sources. Direction is requested from the City Council on how to proceed from here. -4- BROOKLYN CENTER HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION APRIL 1987 ISSUE AREAS AFFECTING - i _ SINGLE PARENT FAMILIES HEALTH CARE 2� Tr G� 4 COORDINATION OF ERVICE 1 c+� o5��G zoT�lNc DAY CARE Licenses to be approved by the City Council on June 8, 1987: O AMUSEMENT DEVICE - OPERATOR Brookdale East Cinema 5801 John Martin Drive Brooklyn Center Community Center 6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy.
