RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED)
The City Manager introduced a Resolution Approving Supplemental Agreement No. 2
to Contract 1986 -C for Replacement of Storm Sewer through the Centerbrook Golf
Course (Improvement Project No. 1985 -23, Phase III). He noted that this
supplementary agreement provides for compliance with MN /DOT permit requirements.
Councilmember Hawes stated that he had taken this item off the consent agenda,
because he believed there was a discrepancy concerning the total cost to MN /DOT.
The Director of Public Works stated that he would have to review the resolution
and would like the item laid over until later in the evening.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Commencing Proceedings for the
Acquisition of Right -of -Way for the Establishment of Grimes Avenue North between
Lakebreeze Avenue and the South Line of the North One Half (N 1/2) of Section
10, T118, R21 (Improvement Project No. 1986 -05), Receiving Report and Calling
for a Hearing Thereon. He stated this resolution initiates the acquisition of
right -of -way for the development of an access road to the Joslyn Corporation
property. He added that this item had been discussed at previous Council
meetings. Councilmember Scott inquired where the additional 1 $700 had been added
between Friday's resolution and the current copy. The Director of Public Works
stated that additional legal costs had been added which had not originally been
figured in the cost. Councilmember Theis inquired if adjoining property owners
would be benefiting from this improvement. The Director of Public Works stated
that it would be difficult to prove a benefit to the adjoining property owners,
since they already have access onto Lakebreeze Avenue. The City Manager noted
that the only purpose for the roadway is to benefit Joslyn. Councilmember Theis
expressed his concern for assessing only the one property owner which seems to
go against the City's assessment policy. The Director of Public Works stated
that this is a unique case, and that it would be difficult to prove a benefit to
adjoining property owners. Therefore, the City cannot assess the adjoining
property owners. Councilmember Hawes inquired if this roadway would have any
affect on the lift station. The City Manager stated that some adjustments would
have to be made. Councilmember Hawes inquired at whose expense these
adjustments would be made. The Director of Public Works stated that would have
to be decided at a future date. Councilmember Hawes stated that he does not
want to see the City pay for any part of this project.
RESOLUTION NO. 86 -196
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION COMMENCING PROCEEDINGS FOR THE ACQUISITION OF RIGHT -OF -WAY FOR THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF GRIMES AVENUE NORTH BETWEEN LAKEBREEZE AVENUE AND THE SOUTH
12 -8 -86 _3_
t
LINE OF THE NORTH ONE HALF (N 1/2) OF SECTION 10, T118, R21 (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
NO. 1986 -05), RECEIVING REPORT AND CALLING FOR A HEARING THEREON
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Rich Theis, and the motion passed with Councilmember Hawes voting against
the motion.
The City Manager presented a Resolution providing for a public hearing on
Proposed Assessment of Improvement Project No. 1986 -05, Acquisition of Right -of-
Way for the Establishment of Grimes Avenue North between Lakebreeze Avenue and
the South Line of the North One Half (N 1/2) of Section 10, T118, R21. He noted
this item would provide for a public hearing for the improvement discussed in
the previous resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 86 -197
Member Rich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR A HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENT OF IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
NO. 1986 -05, ACQUISITION OF RIGHT -OF -WAY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF GRIMES AVENUE
NORTH BETWEEN LAKEBREEZE AVENUE AND THE SOUTH LINE OF THE NORTH ONE HALF (n 1/2)
OF SECTION 10, T118, R21
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Gene Lhotka, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Expressing Recognition of and
Appreciation for the Dedicated Public Service of Donald M. Berg.
RESOLUTION NO. 86 -198
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION EXPRESSING RECOGNITION OF AND APPRECIATION FOR THE DEDICATED PUBLIC
SERVICE OF DONALD M. BERG
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Providing for Transition between Current
Terms of Mayor and Councilmembers and Those Adopted under Charter Amendment.
The City Manager stated that a change had been made late this afternoon and he
would like the City Attorney to address this change. The City Attorney stated
that some questions had arisen regarding who should make the decision for the
election schedule. He stated that after reviewing the three alternatives which
had been prepared for the transition, the third alternative which the Council
approved, is really the only alternative that would work under the rules and
regulations set forth for this change. He noted that this is a technical matter
to have the Charter Commission prepare an amendment. Councilmember Lhotka
inquired if the Charter Commission is aware of this change. The City Manager
stated that the Charter Commission was not aware of this change and that he did
not realize there was a problem until today. He added that he recommends
deferring this resolution for further staff review.
12 -8 -86 -4-
The City Attorney stated it was assumed that the City Council would pass a
resolution and implement the new schedule. After discussions with Dave Kennedy
he found that the transition question should be decided by the Charter
Commission. The City Manager stated that basically what needs to happen is the
Council will have to approve this resolution requesting the Charter Commission
to prepare an appropriate Charter amendment. After the Charter Commission
prepares an amendment then the issue would come back to the Council, The City
Attorney noted that generally with this type of issue, a Charter Commission can
steal with the transition in two ways. They can choose to deal with the
transition along with the amendment or wait to handle the transition schedule
until after the amendment has passed. In this case, the City's Charter
Commission chose to wait until after the amendment had been adopted before a
transition schedule was approved.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
table the resolution until the meeting of December 22, 1986.
Councilmember Scott stated that before the next Council meeting she would like
to see a copy of the State statute regarding even year election transition
periods. The City Attorney stated there is no actual written statute or rule
which would define the transition procedure, but only interpretations that have
been made by the Legislature and legal counsel.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired if the Council were to pass the resolution, could
the Council then direct the Charter Commission to make the appropriate change.
Mayor Nyquist stated that the Council cannot direct the Charter Commission, but
only request s t tti`em
y q to make the appropriate pp priate change.
Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for
One (1) Fire Engine /Pumper. He noted that it would take approximately 90 to 180
days for the delivery of this fire truck. Councilmember Lhotka inquired what
the budgeted amount had been for the fire truck. The City Manager stated that
the Council had approved $145,000 for the purchase of this vehicle less a $5,000
trade -in.
RESOLUTION NO. 86 -199
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BID AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR ONE (1) FIRE ENGINE /PUMPER
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously.
DISCUSSION ITEM
RECOMMENDATION FROM PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION TO BLACKTOP THE TRAILWAY ON
THE EAST SIDE OF PALMER LAKE CONNECTING WITH BROOKLYN PARK'S TRAIL
The City Manager noted that the Director of Public Works has a map which he
would like to review for the Council to show where the proposed connection would
take place. He added that basically all that is needed this evening is for the
12 -8 -86 -5-
Council to authorize the staff to prepare a preliminary report on the cost .
estimates for this project. He added that he would instruct the staff to hold
neighborhood meetings in this area before the project took place. The Director
of Public Works proceeded to review the map of the existing trailways in and
around Palmer Lake.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
concur with the recommendation from the Park and Recreation Commission, and to
authorize staff to prepare a preliminary report. The motion passed unanimously.
Y
RESOLUTION
The City Manager noted that the Director of Public Works has reviewed the
Resolution Approving Supplemental Agreement No. 2 to Contract 1986 -C for
Replacement of Storm Sewer through the Centerbrook Golf Course (Improvement
Project No. 1985 -23, Phase III). The Director of Public Works noted that in the
resolution the cost for design engineering is not eligible for MN /DOT
participation and that it could not be figured into the 71 %.
RESOLUTION NO. 86 -200
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROVING SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT NO. 2 TO CONTRACT 1986 -C FOR
REPLACEMENT OF STORM SEWER THROUGH THE CENTERBROOK GOLF COURSE (IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT NO. 1985 -23, PHASE III)
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Celia Scott, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager stated that the City has been asked to sign a nondisclosure
type document for LOGIS regarding the Ultimap system. He noted that this
document would simply state that the City would not be allowed to give away the
design or program for the Ultimap system. There was a motion by Councilmember
Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to authorize the City Manager to sign
a nondisclosure type document for the LOGIS Ultimap system.
The City Manager noted that today marks the 20th anniversary of the City
becoming an actual city and no longer a village.

There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded
by Councilmember Hawes to

FROM: Gary Shallcross, Planner
DATE: December 17, 1986
SUBJECT: Performance Guarantees
The following performance guarantees are recommended for release or reduction, as
specified.
1. Shingle Creek Business Center site (grading of hill)
Freeway Boulevard and Shingle Creek Parkway
Planning Commission Application No. 83045 (separate guarantee for Ramada
development)
Amount of Guarantee - $50,000 bond
Obligor - Shingle Creek Land Company
The regrading of the large mound of fill material at Freeway Boulevard and
Shingle Creek Parkway has been completed. Viable turf has not been
established, however. Nevertheless, a separate guarantee of $19,000 has been
submitted to the Engineering Department for this and other work associated with
an earlier subdivision of the property. Since that guarantee is of a more
appropriate amount, I would recommend that the above guarantee be released.
2. RCM Plaza
6701 Parkway Circle
Planning Commission Application No. 84033
Amount of Guarantee - $65,000 bond
Obligor - Shingle Creek Plaza II Partners
Site improvements for this project are very nearly complete. Some parking
stalls must still be striped and the area west of the building must be landscaped
according to plan. In addition, the owner of the property must execute an
agreement for the installation of proof -of- parking stalls upon a determination
by the City that such stalls are necessary for the proper functioning of the
site. I recommend total release of this guarantee upon submission by the
obligor of the proof -of- parking agreement and a letter acknowledging that
release of the bond for Parkway Place will be subject to completion of remaining
striping and landscaping.
3• Parkway Place
6601 Shingle Creek Parkway
Planning Commission Application No. 84009
Amount of Guarantee - $85,000 bond
Obligor - Shingle Creek Land Company
Site improvements for this property are complete. However, the conditions of
approval require submission of an as -built utility survey and completion of a
flowage way emptying into Shingle Creek which was required by a previous
subdivision of the property. The as -built survey is being completed.
Recommend reduction of the bond from $85,000 to $40,000.
Approve b��L.4.

December 18, 1986
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: 1987 Salaries
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Attached please find a copy of the proposed 1987 salary
resolution which adopts the Pay Plan for the City of Brooklyn
Center.
The proposed salary resolution calls for a general increase of
3.5 %. Because of the comparable worth law a number of
communities are implementing the comparable worth law separately
from their general salary considerations, some are doing it at
the same time and still others are deferring actions on salaries
into 1987. It is m recommendation Y that the general salary
increases be handled separately from comparable worth. Because
there is such a mixed bag of salary considerations among suburban
communities this year, there is confusion as to the amount of the
general increase. The recommended 3.5% may be on the low side of
what suburban communities are going to do for 1987. The general
increase based on information we
will have in late
February could
appear to have the general salaries among suburban communities
increased more toward 4% than 3 -1/2 %. However, at this time
that's speculation, and it is my recommendation that if other
communities increase their salaries generally at 4 %, that we make
an adjustment sometime early in 1987 to match that increase.
We are recommending no change at this time in the health
insurance benefits as we have received no information as to what
the increase in costs are for 1987. We will be recommending any
changes in this particular aspect of our Pay Plan when we have
cost figures available to us, probably in late February or March.
Those local units of governments who have received cost figures
on health insurance (very few in number) are making adjustments
ranging from no adjustment at all because there has been no cost
increases to $5 per month.
Attached please find a table which lists the increases in the
Consumer Price Index and the general salary increases for the
City of Brooklyn Center since 1978. As you can see during this
10 year period the CPI has on average been about a half a per
cent higher annually than the general salary increases. There
have been times during that period of time where the salary
16 increases were lower than the rate of inflation and at times
higher. It has been the consistent general policy of Brooklyn
M & C NO. 86 -20 -2- December 18, 1986
Center to look at the employment market where we hire our
personnel and keep pace with the salaries paid people doing
similar work in the metropolitan area. We believe that our
salaries when compared to that market are consistently with the
market analysis as shown in the D. C. A. Stanton Survey of Twin
City metropolitan area communities.
As a part of the responsibilities and mandates of the pay equity
act passed by the State Legislature, comparable worth analysis is
going to be an integral part of setting salaries in the future
along with the market analysis approach This will dramatically
change the way we approach salaries in future years. The total
effect of that will not be known for sometime.
We still have not received the award from the arbitrator for
police salaries for 1986 (the arbitration hearing was held in mid
summer). These unusual delays in the receipt of that award lead
us to believe the arbitrator may be considering as a part of his
award 1987 salaries also. The Local 49 Public Works bargaining
is ongoing at this time and it is too early to tell exactly where
that bargaining process will lead us. Our rocess this year
e p Y is
complicated by the pay equity act and bargaining is difficult,
but we are still hopeful of reaching an agreement.
Should any of the Councilmembers have any questions regarding
this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully submitted,
Gerald G. Sp nter

NOTE: The Supervisory w Professional positions are classified as exempt under the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and are compensated at a monthly salary. This schedule converts
the monthly salary to an annual equivalent by multiplying the monthly rate by twelve months.
The schedule converts the annual salary to an hourly equivalent rate by dividing the annual
rate by the number of normal work hours in the current year. The number of normal work
hours is determined by subtracting Saturdays and Sundays from the total number of days in
the year and multiplying that number by eight hours. There are 2,088 normal work hours in
1987. This conversion schedule is for informational purposes only and is not an official
wage schedule.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Director of Finance
DATE: December 18, 1986
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1986 GENERAL FUND BUDGET
I have attached a resolution which, if adopted by the City Council, will amend the
1986 General Fund Budget.
This is the annual budget resolution which appropriates funds to those departments
or accounts which would otherwise exceed their appropriations.
In most instances, these are budget overruns that the Council had previously been
made aware of or are overruns that Council policy allows if actual receipts from
the activity exceed the revenue estimates by at least the amount of the overrun.
The 1986 General Fund expenditures in total will be well within budget constraints
and the 1986 revenues in total will exceed the estimates. All the overruns could
easily be covered by transfers from underruns from other departments. However, in
past years, it has been our practice to use the contingency account to cover the
overruns. This is cleaner and leaves a better audit trail then transferring
from one department to another.
The transfers from the contingency appropriation in the amount of $100,000 are as
follows: $38,000 is being transferred to the Legal budget. This estimate is based
on billings through November. $5,000 is being transferred to the Data Processing
budget. This projected overrun is caused by the failure to appropriate funds for
repairs and maintenance (including maintenance contracts) when this department
was split from Unallocated Expenses in 1986. $20,000 is being transferred to the
Vehicle Maintenance budget. This projected overrun is caused entirely by an
increase in premiums for our automobile insurance. $12,000 is being transferred
to the Health Regulation and Inspection budget. This activity is administered by
the City of Crystal. At budget time, we anticipated no capital outlay, but after
our budget was submitted, Crystal approved the purchase of a microcomputer for the
activity. Labor expenses were also higher than anticipated. $10,000 is being
transferred to Community Center Programs budget. This transfer may not be needed.
It appears that the Community Center will come within budget, but this transfer is
a hedge - just in case. $15,000 is being transferred to the insurance accounts
within the Unallocated Departmental Expenses budget. Our budget was set in October
and we were not aware of the drastic insurance premium increases until December.
The Council was informed at that time. The balance of the insurance overrun, in
the amount of $35,000, will be transferred from the Salaries account in the
Unallocated Departmental Expenses budget. $10,000 is being transferred to the
Professional Services account from the Salaries account. This amount will fund
the risk management audit that the Council authorized. And finally, the Adult and
General Recreation Programs are being increased by $70,000 and the Weed Control
budget by $200. These increases are based on additional revenues being generated
by the activities in an amount at least equal to the overruns for those activities.
Additional programs were added during the year that were not anticipated at the
time that the Budget was adopted. This is in accordance with City Policy.

SUBJECT: Purchase of OPTECH III -P Voting Equipment
Upon recommendation by the Hennepin County Voting Equipment Task
Force of the OPTECH III -P, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties requested
Business Records Corporation, the only manufacturer of said
equipment, to submit a quote on quantity purchases. The
following proposal was submitted by BRC and is predicated on the
assumption that orders from Hennepin and Ramsey County
jurisdictions must be received on or before December 31, 1986 in
order to qualify for the quantity discounts. Therefore, the
purchase order must be written for the full amount. After
January 1, 1987, when the total quantity ordered has been
determined, BRC will send an appropriate letter to each
jurisdiction amending its purchase price accordingly. I
understand as of this date that both Minneapolis and St. Paul
have voted to go with this new system, thus guaranteeing the
lowest price on the OPTECH III -P. (The OPTECH III -P was
certified by the Secretary of State on December 18, 1986.)

Will need 11 of them.
BRC has also submitted a quote for quantity purchase of
voting booths. At this time they are the only company
manufacturing freestanding booths which have a light and which
Gerald G. Splinter -2- December 19, 1986

FROM: Director of Finance
DATE: December 18, 1986
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION TO APPROVE EXPENDITURE OF DATA PROCESSING
APPROPRIATION IN THE 1986 GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR AN
AUTOMATED LOGIS FIRE INFORMATION SYSTEM
I have attached a resolution which, if adopted by the City Council, will allow
the expenditure of funds for the acquisition of equipment needed to implement
the new LOGIS Fire Information System.
The City Council approved an appropriation of $8,500 in the 1986 General Fund
Budget for this system. However, they also directed that these funds not be
expended without their specific authorization.
LOGIS has developed two fire information systems using two different hardware
approaches. One system was developed to operate on the LOGIS mainframe at a
central site and the other system was developed to operate on a microcomputer
at each participating City.
Fire Chief Ron Boman has discussed both systems with LOGIS staff and has
recommended that we use the microcomputer system. To do that, we must purchase
a microcomputer and associated equipment that approximates the $8,500 budgeted.
I have attached copies of memorandums from LOGIS, that I requested, which describes
the systems and costs. It appears that the microcomputer approach would be best
for us. It would be cheaper in the long run and give us more flexibility to do
other related fire applications on our own equipment. We may be able to obtain
other "canned" programs that we can use. As you and I discussed, the micro would
be located in City Hall and could be used by other departments should the need
exist.

Re: Fire Information System, Micro vs. Mini
Date: December 10, 1986 L Q G 1 5I_]
i
___�
i
The Fire Information System (FIS), now under development at
LOGIS, is being planned for operation using two different
hardware approaches:
1. Minicomputer at LOGIS central site.
2. Microcomputer at the city.
While a great majority of the applications offered by LOGIS
are for operation on the central site minicomputer, FIS is a
good candidate for implementation on a microcomputer using a
hard drive for storage. The reasons for the feasibility of
this approach are as follows:
1. Financial. The Fire Chiefs who have expressed
interest in acquiring an automated system for their
fire departments, believed the likelihood of approval
for the more expensive minicomputer approach was very
slim.
2. Processing Power. The computer processing power
necessary to efficiently operate FIS is attainable
with a microcomputer.
3. Storage. A 15 to 30 megabyte hard drive will
sufficiently meet all practical storage needs for
programs and data.
4. Installation. The ease and expense of installation
for the often times physically separate (from city
hall) fire department is greatly improved with a
stand alone microcomputer approach.
5. Microcomputer. Even if a city decides to go the
minicomputer route the acquisition of a microcomputer
to be used as a terminal would be a wise decision.
There is some specialized software available for fire
departments which the HP Vectra, an IBM AT compatible
machine, can run. It is very unlikely that LOGIS
will ever build its own versions of this specialized
software.
6. Micro to Mini Later. If and when there becomes a need
to convert from the microcomputer to the minicomputer
approach,this path will be paved. That is, this
issue is being addressed now in the design phase.

Re.: Fire Information'System Overview U Idu U1 J I (_
Date: December 1, 1986

Background
In 1984 efforts began to assess the level of interest that
existed to automate aspects of fire department functions.
The interest level was very high. After determining that
such a development project was feasible for LOGIS to take on,
the design phase was funded and is now near completion. The
design phase is now nearing completion. The work remaining
to be completed includes programming, testing (LOGIS and
pilot site), documentation, and of course implementation.
Two versions will eventually be in production. One for stand
alone microcomputers and another for operation out of the
LOGIS mainframe on a terminal. The Incident Data module will
be automated and put into production first.
A design team has worked on this project, meeting every two
or three weeks, for over a year and a half. The team is
composed of representatives from the following cities:
Coon Rapids, Fire Chief: Bill Thompson
Edina, Fire Chief: Ted Paulfranz
St. Louis Park, Clint Pires: MIS Coordinator
St. Louis Park, Fire Chief: John Kersey
St. Louis Park, Fire Chief: Gloria Morse
Also, joining this group in recent months were:
Coon Rapids, MIS Coordinator: Scott Coltrane
Crystal, Fire Chief: Art Quady
Golden Valley, Fire Marshal: Sean Gormley
Representatives of other city fire departments have provided
input in the form of sample reports and forms.
Discussion
The Fire Inspection system is designed to record and report
on the following:
1. Incident Data
a MFIRS -1 Standard State Report
b. Additional Incident Data
(including firefighters present)
2. Preplan (including hazardous materials)
3. Personnel (including training)
4. Inspections
Interest or intent to use this system can only be estimated
now, but appears to be significant. Three to six fire
departments have already budgeted for operating the Fire
Information System in their cities in 1987.

MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF
HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
REGULAR SESSION
DECEMBER 11, 1986
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in regular session and was called to order by Chairman
George Lucht at 7:34 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman George Lucht, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Carl Sandstrom, Mike Nelson and
Wallace Bernards. Also present were Director of Planning and Inspection Ronald
Warren, City Engineer Bo Spurrier and Planner Gary Shallcross. Chairman Lucht
noted that Commissioners Lowell Ainas and Ann Wallerstedt had called to say they
would be unable to attend and were excused.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - November 13, 1986
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Malecki to approve the
minutes of the November 13, 1986 Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting
in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Sandstrom and Bernards. Voting
against: none. Not voting: Commissioner Nelson. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 86042 AND 860 (Lombard Prope Inc.)
ko7iowing Me Ma7irman's exp`Iana`t ion ^fie -Seccretary rEv the first two items of
business, a request for a variance from the Sign Ordinance to allow a permanent
project identification sign for the Shingle Creek Business Center (Application No.
860 and a request for a variance to allow two off -site directional signs at the
intersections of Shingle Creek Parkway and Parkway Circle (Application No. 860
The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff reports (see Planning Commission
Information Sheets for Application No. 86042 and 860 attached). Regarding the
project identification sign, the Secretary noted that the signs at the Brookdale
complex would not require a variance under the present ordinance because that
complex is a unified, attached complex.
Chairman Lucht asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Steve
Mosborg with Lombard Properties stated that he had nothing to add to the staff
report.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application Nos. 86042 and 86043)
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked whether anyone
present wished to speak regarding the application. Hearing no one, he called for a
motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to close the
public hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Sandstrom asked what other signs might be permitted as a result of the
precedent created by approving the project identification sign. The Secretary
stated that there was already some precedent for such a sign. He stated that other
similar situations would have to have common ownership and access over a multiple
parcel development. The Secretary also stated that the signery proposed fits
12 -11 -86 -1-
r

within the sign package and that there is a consistent theme throughout the
development. Commissioner Sandstrom asked whether there would be more signery
than normal. The Secretary stated that the proposed sign would substitute for any
freestanding sign for the office building. He stated that that building would only
be allowed a wall sign up to 10% of the wall area.
Commissioner Bernards asked about the illumination of the signs. Ms. Cheryl
O'Donnell of Sign Consultants explained that the signs would be internally lighted
on both the directional and project identification signs. She stated that the
signery would be low key in nature and would be aesthetically attractive.
Commissioner Bernards asked how the lighting would be controlled. Ms. O'Donnell
stated that it would be on a timer that would automatically turn it off at a certain
time. Mr. Mosborg of Lombard Properties stated that the sign would probably be lit
from dusk until about 1:00 a.m.
ACTION RECOMMNDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 86042 (Lombard Properties, Inc.)
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Nelson to recommend
approval of Application No. 86042, subject to the following conditions:
1. No other freestanding sign within the Shingle Creek Business
Center complex shall have an impact plan larger than the 127.5 sq.
ft. of the largest panel of the proposed project identification
signs.
2. A deed restriction limiting freestanding signs within the
Shingle Creek Business Center to 127.5 sq. ft. shall be executed
and filed with the title to the affected properties.
3. The permit for the proposed freestanding project identification
sign shall not be issued until the building permit is issued for
the planned office development on the same parcel. Any
resubdivision of the land parcel at the northwest corner of
Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard or development
proposal for something other than a multi - storey office
development shall invalidate approval of this application.
4. The freestanding project identification sign authorized by this
variance shall be in lieu of any and all other freestanding
identification signs permitted by the Sign Ordinance for the
property on which it shall be located.
Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Sandstrom, Nelson and
Bernards. Voting against: None. The motion passed.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 86043 (Lombard Properties, Inc.)
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to recommend
approval of Application No. 86043, subject to the following conditions:
1. No freestanding identification sign for an off -site property
listed on the directional signs located at the intersections of
Parkway Circle and Shingle Creek Parkway may be readily visible
from the public streets.
2. The applicant shall install street signs denoting Parkway Circle
and Shingle Creek Parkway that are consistent with the City's
street signs at the two intersections in question prior to
release of the financial guarantee for Parkway Place (6601
Shingle Creek Parkway).
12 -11 -86 -2-
3. The message of the directional signs shall be clearly directional
in nature and subject to the height and size requirements of the
Sign Ordinance. Variance approval pertains to location only.
Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Sandstrom, Nelson and
Bernards. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NO. 86044 (Ed Trombley)
The Secretary then introduced the next item of business, a request for preliminary
plat approval to resubdivide into two buildable lots the land at the southeast
corner of 61st and Colfax Avenues North. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the
staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 86044
attached).
Chairman Lucht then asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr.
Trombley responded in the negative.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 86044)
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked whether anyone
present wished to speak regarding the application. Hearing no one, he called for a
motion to close the public hearing.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Nelson to close the
public hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 860 (Ed Trombley)
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to recommend
approval of Application No. 860 subject to the following conditions:
1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City
Ordinances.
3. The existing wood shed on the proposed Lot 1 shall be relocated outside of
the proposed drainage and utility easement along the easterly 5' of the
property prior to release of the final plat for filing at the County.
4. The applicant shall enter into a standard utility hookup agreement prior
to final plat approval.
5. No building permit shall be issued for a structure on the proposed Lot 2
until the proposed plat has received final approval and been filed at the
County.
Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Sandstrom, Nelson and
Bernards. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
APPLICATION NOS. 86045, 86046 AND 86047 (Crown Coco, Inc.)
The Secretary then introduced the next three items of business, a site and building
plan and special use permit approval to construct a 4,000 sq. ft. convenience
store /gas station on the old Arthur Treacher's site at 6100 Brooklyn Boulevard
12 -11 -86 -3-
(Application No. 86045) ; a request for a variance from Section 35 -400 of the Zoning
Ordinance to allow a 10' rear yard setback rather than a 40' setback required by
ordinance; (Application No. 86046) and a request for a variance from Section 35 -704
of the Zoning Ordinance to allow fewer than the required number of parking stalls for
the convenience store /gas station. (Application No. 86047). The Secretary
reviewed the contents of the staff reports for these applications (see Planning
Commission Information Sheets for Application Nos. 86045, 86046, and 86047
attached).
The Secretary also pointed out in his review of these applications that access
permits from Hennepin County must be received prior to issuance of any building
permits. He stated that he had no knowledge of what the County's position would be
on such permits. The Secretary also stated that an alternate plan for the site had
been submitted at 2:30 p.m. that day. He showed the Commission a transparency of
that site plan and noted that it came closer to ordinance requirements, but that
staff had not had time to fully evaluate the proposal. Commissioner Nelson asked
the Secretary to summarize the staff recommendations. The Secretary stated that
the staff recommended denial of the variances and that the site and building
plan /special use permit be tabled until an acceptable plan was submitted.
Chairman Lucht asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. John Finley,
an attorney representing Crown Coco, Inc., then addressed the Commission at some
length. He pointed out that a variance relating to the separation of curb cuts had
been eliminated. Mr. Finley also stated that there were 35 parking spaces shown on
the site plan, but that some stalls were not counted by staff because of the amount of
area for driving lanes. He explained that the driving lane did not amount to 24' in
addition to an 8' wide area for a parallel parking stall. He stated that if the
Planning Commission is comfortable with a reduced driving lane on the outside of the
west island and the lane between the easterly island and the building, no variance
would be needed on parking.
Mr. Finley stated that the main issue is the size of the building and that the most
significant variance is the rear yard setback. He explained that most convenience
stores being built at present are 6,000 sq. ft. He also pointed out that the proposed
rear yard setback of 10' was not significantly different from the rear yard setbacks
of other buildings in the area. He added that he could see no real reason for a large
rear yard setback. He stated that the site would function better with the building
set back further on the property. Mr. Finley also pointed out that a smaller
building would contribute less to the City's tax base. He pointed out that the
difference in taxes between the proposed building and the existing building on the
site not being used is approximately $15,000 per year.
Mr. Finley went on to state that the pumps could be realigned on the site to run
parallel with Brooklyn Boulevard and to meet the concerns of the staff regarding
turning movements onto and off of Brooklyn Boulevard. Mr. Finley stated that he
thought the accesses met the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and was surprised
to hear that they would present a problem.
Mr. Finley concluded by stating that tabling the application would essentially make
the project impossible. He stated that an alternate plan with a 40' rear yard
setback is also a possibility. He apologized to the Commission for the slipshod
manner in which the application had been submitted and the lateness of the recent
submittal.
12 -11 -86 -4-
Chairman Lucht asked the Commission if they had any questions of the applicant.
Commissioner Sandstrom asked whether there would be room for a car to get by another
car at the pumps. Mr. Finley stated that the minimum opening on the outer lane is
25' and for the lane next to the building 26 1 . He stated that these provide enough
space for a car to be parked at the island and for at least one car to bypass. He
pointed out that staff recommended a 32' lane to allow for an 8' wide parking stall
and a full 24 driving lane for two -way traffic. He acknowledged that the plan
provided somewhat less on the driveways at the outer ends of the islands.
Commissioner Malecki asked what the colors of the building would be. Mr. Finley
responded that it would be brown brick. Commissioner Malecki inquired as to the
facia treatment. Mr. Finley answered that that could also be painted brown.
Chairman Lucht stated that he had a problem recommending a variance for a use that
was not even recommended in the City's Comprehensive Plan. He stated that he was
not convinced of the need for a convenience store in this location. Mr. Finley
responded that there are only two convenience stores in a 2 112 mile radius of this
site. As to the Comprehensive Plan, Mr. Finley noted that the zoning of the
property is proper for the convenience store and gas station although it is in
conflict with the recommendation of the Comprehensive Plan. He noted that the
zoning designation of the property prevails. Chairman Lucht acknowledged that the
gas station use was acknowledged under the C2 zoning district, but that variances to
allow such uses were not. Mr. Finley stated that the applicant could meet the
parking requirements, but that the real issue is the rear yard setback. He then
showed the Planning Commission various pictures of the general area behind the site.
He noted that there are no residences immediately adjacent to this site.
Commissioner Sandstrom stated that the City had to be concerned regarding setting
a precedent in allowing a rear yard setback variance. He asked how often cars sit at
the pumps while people go in to shop in the store. Mr. Finley responded that this
happened quite often. Commissioner Sandstrom stated that he thought that would
cause a problem because the pumps would be blocked when new gas customers wanted to
come in to the site. Mr. Finley responded in turn that this problem would result
more from not having enough pumps than from having too many. He stated that
providing more parking spaces on the site while eliminating spaces at the pumps
might cause problems if people behave the way they generally do at such convenience
store /gas stations.
The Planner then clarified for the Commission the status for some of the proposed
parking stalls. He pointed out that one stall was proposed in front of the dumpster
enclosure and that this would not be a permitted location. He noted that two other
stalls were not realistic based on the turning movements from the stalls at the gas
pumps. He stated that the choice was between accepting stalls at the pumps and
stalls elsewhere on the site. The Planner further commented that the concern of
staff regarding the access to the site is not the location of the access so much as
the ability of the drivers to make smooth turning movements onto the site and avoid
possible congestion on Brooklyn Boulevard. He stressed that traffic flow on
Brooklyn Boulevard is a very major concern with this application.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application Nos. 86045, 86046 and 86047)
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked whether anyone
else present wished to speak regarding the application. Mr. Tony Kuefler of 5943
Abbott Avenue North stated that he was also very concerned regarding traffic
movement on Brooklyn Boulevard. He stated that he felt the site seemed too small
for the use proposed on it. He recommended that the Commission grant no variances
12 -11 -86 -5-
whatever for the proposed use. He also recommended that no outside storage be
allowed at the proposed gas station. He stated that he was concerned regarding the
image of Brooklyn Boulevard which is Brooklyn Center's main street. Mr. Kuefler
also recommended that the items called for in the staff report be required of the
applicant. He concluded by stating that he did want to see the site utilized, but
that another gas station in the area may not be wise. He stressed again the need to
minimize the impact of a use such as the proposed gas station /convenience store on
both Brooklyn Boulevard and on the adjacent neighborhood.
Mrs. Diane Reem of 6225 Chowen Avenue North expressed concern regarding the proposed
use and access onto Brooklyn Boulevard. She stressed that access onto Brooklyn
Boulevard was a major concern of the Brooklyn Center Comprehensive Plan and that the
proposed development would complicate the problem by adding another access. She
also expressed concern regarding the fact that the convenience store would be open
24 hours, the lighting that would be on through the night and the items that might be
sold at a 24 hour store.
Mr. Harold Uecker of 3102 Lawrence Road stated simply that he agreed with all of the
comments made by Mr. Kuefler and Mrs. Reem.
Chairman Lucht then asked whether anyone present wished to speak regarding the
application. Hearing no one, he asked the Commission whether they were disposed to
continuing the public hearing or closing it. The consensus was that they would
probably recommend tabling the matter and the that public hearing should,
therefore, be continued.
CONTINUE PUBLIC HEARING (Application Nos. 86045, 86046 and 86047)
o ion y commi ssioner an s rom seconTed - by Commissioner lie son to continue the
public hearing on the applications pertaining to the proposed gas
station /convenience store at 6100 Brooklyn Boulevard. The motion passed
unanimously.
Chairman Lucht then asked the Commission for their thoughts regarding the requested
variances. Commissioner Sandstrom expressed concern over a 24 hour operation and
the possibility of outside storage. He stated that these aspects of the operation
would not help the image of Brooklyn Boulevard. Commissioner Malecki stated that
she agreed with Mr. Kuefler. She stated that granting the special use permit is
enough and that variances are not warranted. Commissioner Nelson stated that he
did not feel as strongly about the variances. He stated that, as proposed, they
certainly seemed excessive. He suggested tabling the variances in the event a
slight variance might be justified in light of a revised plan. He stressed that the
main concern was to find an acceptable site plan and that without that, the other
applications were meaningless. He commented that he did feel 10 feet is too shallow
for a rear yard setback.
ACTION TABLING APPLICATION NOS. 86045, 86046 AND 86047 (Crown Coco, Inc.)
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to table
Application Nos. 86045, 86046 and 86047 with direction to the applicant to provide
additional information as indicated in the staff report.
While the motion was on the floor, Mr. John Finley again approached the Commission
and explained the time factor facing the applicant. He asked for a clarification
that tabling the matter would put it off until January and that it would not go to the
City Council on December 22. Chairman Lucht responded in the affirmative. Mr.
Finley suggested the possibility of working with staff in the next few days to iron
12 -11 -86 -6-
matters out and take the application to the City Council, without a recommendation
at all if necessary. Chairman Lucht stated that he was opposed to passing
applications along to the City Council without a recommendation. He stated that,
in the past whenever the Planning Commission has hurried an application along, there
have been problems. He stated that in this case, there is nothing to recommend
since there is no plan that meets the requirements of the City Ordinance and
variances would not be recommended.. Commissioner Nelson agreed, stating that
there was nothing to gain by rushing the plan to to the City Council without a
recommendation. Commissioner Bernards agreed as well. He told the applicant that
he appreciated the time constraint, but that the Commission is charged with a duty to
do a full review and not simply delegate that to the staff. Commissioner Sandstrom
also concurred. Commissioner Malecki pointed out that the land and the building
have been standing unused for quite some time and that she saw no reason to suddenly
approve a use of the property when it did not meet the requirements of the City
ordinance.
Mr. Bob DeVere of Crown Coco, Inc. explained to the Commission that the property went
to bankruptcy approximately a year ago and that the original bidder did not follow
through with the redevelopment of the property. He stated that Crown Coco, Inc. was
the second highest bidder and was given the opportunity to pursue development of the
property within the limits of the original purchase agreement, which put an end date
of January 1 on closing on the property. He stated that they had sought an extension
of their purchase agreement, but that the extension was denied. The Planner
pointed out that, in all likelihood, no one else would make use of the property prior
to January 1, 1987 and that the property would go on the market for new bids.
VOTE ON PREVIOUS MOTION
Voting on the motion to table Application Nos. 860+5, 860+6 and 860+7 were:
Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Sandstrom, Nelson and Bernards. Voting
against: none. The motion passed.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
1987 Meeting Schedule
The Secretary then reviewed with the Commission the meeting schedule for the
Planning Commission in 1987 as proposed. He noted that the August 27 meeting could
possibly be cancelled because of the difficulty of the September schedule. He
explained that the City Council schedule in September was made difficult by Labor
P Y
Day and budget meetings.
Commissioner Nelson noted a conflict between the June 25 meeting and the Earle Brown
Days Parade. The Secretary stated that the staff could watch the agenda in June to
see whether it would be possible to combine any applications that come in in the
second half of that month with the first meeting in July.
Reappointment
The Secretary also noted that Chairman Lucht and Commissioners Bernards and Ainas
would be up for new terms on the Planning Commission. He urged those whose terms
were expiring to contact the Mayor as to their desire in staying on the Commission or
not.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Nelson to adjourn the
meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The
Commission adjourned at 10:05 p.m.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 860
PP 2 �
Applicant: Lombard Properties
Location: Northwest corner of Freeway Blvd. and Shingle Creek Pkwy.
Request: Sign Variance
The applicant requests a variance from the Sign Ordinance to allow a permanent
project identification sign for the Shingle Creek Business Center on the parcel of
land at the northwest corner of Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard. The
business center included RCM Plaza and Parkway Place office /industrial buildings,
the Shingle Creek Eleven speculative industrial building, the Ramada Inn, a vacant
landlocked tract north of Ramada Inn, and a vacant parcel at the northwest corner of
Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard planned for office development. The
entire area is zoned I -1 ( Industrial Park) and is bounded on the north by MTC bus
garage and Spec. 9 industrial building, on the east by Shingle Creek Parkway, on the
south by Freeway Boulevard and on the west by the Shingle Creek greenstrip.
The proposed freestanding identification sign would advertise the entire complex of
buildings developed by Lombard Properties. As such, it would pertain to
developments not on the site where the sign would be located. Therefore, the
proposed sign would, to some extent, be an off -site sign or billboard. Such signs
are prohibited under Section 34 -130, subsection 11 of the Sign Ordinance.
Applicant's Case
S ign variance applications are subject to the three standards set forth in Section
34 -180 of the Sign Ordinance (attached). Mr. Steve Mosborg of Lombard Properties
has submitted an introductory letter (attached) explaining the general sign program
for the Shingle Creek Business Center and a letter addressing the standards for a
variance for the project identification sign (also attached). The letter
addressing the variance basically describes the elements that make up the Shingle
Creek Business Center and argues that the development will lack identity and
coherence without symbol (the project identification sign) to serve as a focal point
identifying the entire area. The letter concludes by stating that the sign will
provide a dramatic identification of the business center which will, in turn, be a
credit to the community.
Staff Analysis
With respect to hardship, it must be recognized that there is no way of identifying a
multi- parcel development without referring to aspects of the development located on
other parcels than the sign itself. If the business center is, indeed, a unified
complex of business developments on multiple parcels of land, bound together by
ownership and agreements for cross - access and parking, then a common identification
sign is perhaps quite appropriate. Such a sign cannot exist without containing a de
facto off -site message.
As to whether the conditions upon which the variance request is based are unique,
some comparison to other multi -use or multi - parcel developments is in order.
Brookdale is the largest such complex in the city. It contains multiple buildings,
attached and detached, and multiple parcels. A variance was granted under
Application No. 66059 to allow the two freestanding signs which identify the entire
complex. (No variance would be required, however, under the current Sign
Ordinance). The Northbrook Shopping Center also exists on multiple parcels with
multiple buildings and has a common freestanding identification sign for the
12 -11 -86 _1_
Application No. 86042 continued
complex. Palmer Lake Plaza office /industrial complex is actually three attached
buildings on separate land parcels, but with a common identification sign. In all
of these cases, parcelization is less important in establishing identity than is
unified ownership, common access and cross - parking agreements. Common ownership,
shared access and parking are certainly elements of the Shingle Creek Business
Center, though the association of the buildings is much looser than a complex of
buildings physically attached. The situation in this case is fairly unique. It is
certainly unique in the I -1 district where virtually every other building has its
own access onto a public street.
The final standard has to do with the impact of the variance on the public welfare and
on property in the neighborhood. The impact of the proposed signery is, it would
seem, related to the extent to which it replaces other freestanding signery rather
than adding to it. The proposed "sign" actually consists of three signs increasing
in size from approximately 4 2 4.65 sq. ft. for the smallest sign, 82.5 sq. ft. for the
middle sign, and 127.5 sq. ft. for the largest sign, for a total of 254.65 sq. ft. of
total sign face. The three sign faces are set behind one another so that the impact
are of the two smaller signs is included within that of the largest sign.
Therefore, the largest plan of obstructed vision is the 127.5 sq. ft. of the largest
sign.
The proposed sign would be located on the office site at the northwest corner of
Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard. No other freestanding identification
sign would serve that site. The Ramada Inn presently has a freestanding
identification sign. The Shingle Creek Eleeven building has a freestanding sign
for Metro Systems, an office furniture dealer. Both these signs are considerably
smaller and lower than permitted by ordinance. Parkway Place and RCM Plaza have no
freestanding identification signs. Under the Sign Ordinance, each of the
buildings in this complex would be entitled to have at least one freestanding sign,
250 sq. ft. in area. The corner lot on which the proposed sign would be located
could be allowed two such signs, since it has at least 400' of frontage along two
major thoroughfares. Based upon these considerations, the proposed project
identification sign does not appear to pose a threat to the general character of the
industrial park.
Other Consideration
Aside from the standards for a variance, staff would recommend that the Commission
consider the fact that no development has been built, approved, or even formally
proposed for the site on which the proposed sign would be located. The proposed
sign for the Shingle Creek Business Center would be an appropriate element of a six -
storey office development, which would serve as the central focus of the business
center. We question, however, whether such a sign would be as appropriate on a
smaller restaurant site, or even the site of an industrial building. We,
therefore, recommend that no sign permit be issued for the project identification
sign until a building permit has been issued for the office development on the same
site.
Recommendation
Based on the foregoing analysis, we recommend approval of the proposed variance
application, subject to at least the following conditions:
1. No other freestanding sign within the Shingle Creek Business
Center complex shall have an impact plan larger than the 127.5 sq
ft. of the largest panel of the proposed project identification
sign.
12 -11 -86 -2-
Application No. 86042 continued
2. A deed restriction limiting freestanding signs within the
Shingle Creek Business Center to 127.5 sq. ft. shall be executed
and filed with the title to the effected properties.
3. The permit for the proposed freestanding project identification
sign shall not be issued until the building permit is issued for
the planned office development on the same parcel. Any
resubdivision of the land parcel at the northwest corner of
Shingle Creek Parkway and Freeway Boulevard or development
proposal for something other than a multi- storey office
development shall invalidate approval of this application.
4. The freestanding project identification sign authorized by this
variance shall be in lieu of any and all other freestanding
identification signs permitted by the Sign Ordinance for the
property on which it shall be located.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 86043
Applicant: Lombard Properties
Location: 6601 Shingle Creek Parkway
Request: Sign Variance
The applicant requests a variance from the Sign Ordinance to erect two off -site
directional signs at the intersections of Shingle Creek Parkway and Parkway Circle.
Parkway Circle is a private road within the Shingle Creek Business Center
commercial /industrial complex being developed by Lombard Properties north of
Freeway Boulevard and west of Shingle Creek Parkway. The complex includes the
Ramada Inn, RCM Plaza and Parkway Place office /high tech buildings, and the Shingle
Creek Eleven (Metro Systems et al) speculative industrial building. The property
in questions is zoned I -1 (Light Industrial) and is bounded by the Spec. 9 industrial
building and the MTC bus garage on the north, by Shingle Creek Parkway on the east, by
Freeway Boulevard on the south, and by the Shingle Creek greenstrip on the west.
The signs themselves would be located at the north and south intersections of
Shingle Creek Parkway and Parkway Circle.
Mr. Steve Mosborg with Lombard Properties has submitted a brief introductory letter
(attached) explaining Lombard's sign program for the Shingle Creek Business Center.
He has also submitted a letter addressing the standards for a Sign Variance for the
two off -site directional signs at the entrances to Parkway Circle. Mr. Mosborg
notes that the proposed directional signs are not permitted under the Sign Ordinance
because they contain references to buildings on other parcels within the
development and are, thus, off -site signs. Signs located off -site are generally
classified as billboards under the Sign Ordinance (see definition attached) and are
prohibited. Mr. Mosborg points out that the signs would not have building names,
but addresses only. He states that the proposed directional signs are essential to
"the smooth and informed flow of traffic" within the business center. He further
argues that the signs should also help avoid congestion and confusion in the public
streets.
Proposed variances are subject to the standards contained in Section 34 -180
(attached). The first standard relates to hardship. One hardship staff see in
this case is the inability of some properties in the development (namely RCM Plaza
and the future development tract north of the Ramada Inn) to gain any exposure onto a
public street. This does create some difficulty for people in search of these
properties.
The second standard for a variance is that the conditions upon which the application
for a variance is based are unique to the property in question and are not common to
other property or uses in the zoning district. The circumstances in this case are
fairly unique. Most businesses in the city are located on parcels which have direct
access onto a public street. A somewhat similar situation exists at the Brooklyn
Crossing office park. In that case, however, the large office building at County
Road 10 and Brooklyn Boulevard does have frontage and exposure onto a public street.
The smaller buildings, meanwhile, are all on a single parcel of land and are to be
served by a similar on -site directional sign with the addresses of each building
listed on the sign. The CEAP building at 7231 Brooklyn Boulevard is also similarly
situated behind the Red Lobster restaurant. However, in that case, the CEAP
property does extend along the private drive (known as CEAP Way) to Brooklyn

Boulevard. What is proposed in this case serves a similar function. The only
difference is that the off -site buildings in this case are on separate parcels that
do not abut public right -of -way. Other cases that involve off -site directional
signs are the Brookdale Ford sign on the Brookdale Square site and the Cinema I, II,
III, IV entrance sign on the site of the Brookdale Six office building. Both these
cases also involve developments that rely on other properties for access.
The third standard for a sign variance is that the granting of the variance will not
be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements
in the neighborhood. Staff believe that the proposed directional signery would be
much more appropriate and tolerable to the neighborhood than high freestanding
identification signs located on the respective sites and seeking to appeal, over the
roofs of buildings, to traffic on the public streets. To accomplish the same
exposure such signs might well require height and /or size variances and would, we
think, detract from the visual appearance of the industrial park. Accordingly, we
recommend approval of the variance request, subject to the following conditions:
1. No freestanding identification sign for an off -site property
listed on the directional signs located at the intersections of
Parkway Circle and Shingle Creek Parkway may be readily visible
from the public streets.
2. The applicant shall install street signs denoting Parkway Circle
and Shingle Creek Parkway that are consistent with the City's
street signs at the two intersections in question prior to
release of the financial guarantee for Parkway Place (6601
Shingle Creek Parkway).
3• The message of the directional signs shall be clearly directional
g g Y
in nature and subject to the height and size requirements of the
Sign Ordinance. Variance approval pertains to location only.

Application No. 86044
Applicant: Ed Trombley
Location: 905 61st Avenue North
Request: Preliminary Plat
The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to resubdivide into two lots the
land at the southeast corner of 61st Avenue North and Colfax Avenue North. The land
in question is zoned Rl and is bounded on the north by 61st Avenue North, on the east
and south by single family homes, and on the west by Colfax Avenue North. There is
an existing residence (905 61st Avenue North) and detached garage on the northerly
portion of the site.
The land presently consists of a deep oversized lot off 61st Avenue North, on which
the existing residence is located, and a narrow unbuildable parcel along Colfax
Avenue North. The applicant proposes to resubdivide these two parcels into two
single - family lots which meet all ordinance lot requirements for width, depth, and
area. The following information summarizes the dimensions:
Lot Type Width Req.'d Depth Req.'d Area Req.'d
Lot 1 Corner 90' 90' 136.5 110' 12,285 s.f. 10,500 s.f.
Lot 2 Interior 76' 75' 137 110' 10,427 s.f. 9,500 s.f.
A drainage and utility easement is indicated along the east line of the plat (5
where existing power lines are located. Also, a 10' wide drainage and utility
easement is proposed adjacent to the rights -of -way for 61st and for Colfax. No
easements have been indicated along side interior lot lines since these usually
conflict with the 3' sideyard setback for accessory buildings.
The existing residence meets setback requirements. However, an approximate 10' x
10' wood shed on the proposed Lot 1 encroaches into the proposed 5' wide easement
along the east lot line. It is recommended that a condition of final plat approval
be the relocation of the wood shed out of the proposed easement.
The existing residence is located on Lot 9, Block 2, A. J. Larsen's Third Addition.
The narrow strip of land along Colfax is unplatted land with an old metes and bounds
legal description. The proposed legal description of the property is: Lots 1 and
2, Block 1, Ed Trombley's Addition.
Altogether, the plat appears to be in order and approval is recommended, subject to
at least the following conditions:
1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the
City Ordinances.
3. The existing wood shed on the proposed Lot 1 shall be relocated
outside of the proposed drainage and utility easement along the
easterly 5' of the property prior to release of the final plat for
filing at the County.

Application No. 86044 continued
4. The applicant shall enter into a standard utility hookup
agreement prior to final plat approval.
5. No building permit shall be issued for a structure on the proposed
Lot 2 until the proposed plat has received final approval and been
filed at the County.

Application No. 86045
Applicant: Crown Coco, Inc. (Crown Oil)
Location: 6100 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Site and Building Plan /Special Use Permit
The applicant requests site and building plan and special use permit approval to
construct a 4,000 sq. ft. convenience store /gas station at the old Arthur TreacherIs
site, 6100 Brooklyn Boulevard. The existing Arthur Treacher's restaurant would be
demolished. The property in question is zoned C2 and is bounded on the north by
Bruger King, on the east by an 18 unit apartment complex facing Beard Avenue North,
on the south by a 40' vacant strip of land that is part of the apartment complex and is
required for density purposes, and on the west by Brooklyn Boulevard. Gasoline
service stations are allowed by special use permit in the C2 zone, provided they do
not abut Rl, R2, or R3 zoned property, either at a property line or a street line. No
such abutment exists in this case.
Access /Parking
The proposed site plan calls for two accesses off Brooklyn Boulevard, approximately
60' apart. The site presently is served by a single access. Accesses in
commercial and industrial districts must be a minimum of 50' apart, measured at the
property line, and cannot exceed 30' in width (Section 35 -703)• Both the proposed
driveways meet these requirements. The City Engineer does recommend softening the
north and south radii from a 15' to a 20' radius .
The parking requirement for the convenience store is based on the retail parking
formula of 11 spaces for the first 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area and eight (8)
Spaces for each additional 1,000 sq. ft. (Section 35 -704). The total number of
stalls required is, therefore, 35. The proposed plan shows 18 regular stalls. In
addition, 12 parallel stalls are indicated at the pumps. Of these, seven (7) meet
the requirements for parallel parking stalls. The applicant has requested a
variance to allow the building with only 27 stalls (see Application No. 86047) . It
appears, however, that with minor redesign at least 28 can be provided on the site.
If driving lanes of less than 24' are accepted for the parallel stalls
(approximately 14' was accepted for 2 stalls at the Brooklyn Center Service, 6849
Brooklyn Boulevard), the parking count could be as high as 33 spaces.
In addition to a parking shortage, the City Engineer has reservations that cars can
readily make the turning movements from access drive to pump island and vice versa.
The proposed westerly pump island poses particular problems and should be shortened
by approximately one third of its length. The easterly island should probably be
shifted slightly northward. It would be referable in fact for the is
P , , lands to run
parallel to Brooklyn Boulevard rather than to the building. The proposed
arrangement requires a sharp turning movement for cars heading into the site from
northbound Brooklyn Boulevard. The north -south alignment of the pumps is probably
workable, but only with revisions to smooth the way for cars entering the site. It
is of critical importance that traffic move unimpeded on Brooklyn Boulevard. Any
site layout that creates difficulty in entering the site poses a threat to the flow
of traffic on Brooklyn Boulevard and may constitute a failure to meet standard (d) of
the standards for special use permits in Section 35 -220.
Landscaping /Screening
The plan submitted proposes no new landscaping. It notes, however, that any
existing trees damaged or destroyed during construction will be replaced. The plan
12 -11 -86 -1-
Application No. 86045 continued
indicates the retention of 32 cedar trees, one inch (1 11 ) in diameter. An existing
hedge along the south side of the property is also shown as retained. The point
value of 32 cedar trees under the landscape point system is 192 points. If
retained, these would exceed considerably the minimum number of points required.
However, the almost exclusive reliance on one specie of tree is less than desirable.
It is recommended that at least two shade trees be planted in the island between the
access drives, back far enough as to be out of the sight triangles. Additional
decorative plantings are also recommended near the northwest and southwest corners
of the site; again, back far enough as to be out of key sight lines.
There is a retaining wall and opaque, wood fence along the east property line which
are in disrepair. The retaining wall must be repaired to provide support for the
east end of the site. The screen fence is important for parking lot screening, but
there are also a row of Cedar trees which should provide fairly effective screening
as well. A cyclone fence is located along the south property line as well as a hedge
of shrubs. Although the land to the south is an underutilized area, it is zoned R5
and parking lot screening is required adjacent to residentially zoned land.
Drainage /Utilities
No topographic or utility information has been submitted with the proposed plans.
The site presently drains onto the street. If the site were to be reused with the
building and parking lot intact, this would perhaps be a condition accepted as is.
However, given the proposal to demolish the existing building and significantly
alter the parking lot and access provisions, we feel it is entirely appropriate for
the applicant to install catch basins at appropriate locations and a storm sewer to
convey the dranage to the City storm sewer in Brooklyn Boulevard.
Building /Canopy
The proposed building elevations indicate a face brick exterior on the north and
west elevations and concrete block on the east and south elevations. An internally
lighted tri -band facia is proposed on the front side of the building, extending out
5' over the front sidewalk and an unlighted tri -band metal facia extending out 2' on
the sides. The plan also calls for a 6' wide sidewalk in front of the building and a
3' wide sidewalk on the sides. The proposed exterior treatment is not in accord
with the City's policy of consistent exterior treatment around the entire building.
Section 35 -414.3 of the Zoning Ordinance calls for "sincere concepts and honest
construction" in gasoline service station buildings. The brick on the more visible
sides should, therefore, be carried entirely around the building. The facia
treatment, if it is multi - colored, really constitutes a sign, (similar to Showbiz
Pizza) and as such exceeds the allowable area for wall signs (30% of wall area) . No
plans of the proposed canopy have been submitted. All that is indicated is that it
will be 72' x 72' with an approximate 15' x 32' extension to the building facia
overhang.
Lighting /Trash
The proposed plan shows five freestanding lights, all 400 watt super metal halide
heritage fixtures on an 8' arm. The four serving the two access drives are proposed
at 20' height. Another near the northeast corner of the site would be on a 16' pole.
The light intensity at the property line abutting the R5 land to the west would be 2
foot candles in accordance with Section 35 -712. Section 35- 41 requires that the
lighting design be submitted to the Planning Commission for recommendations to the
City Council. The plan proposes to retain the existing brick trash enclosure at the
southeast corner of the site.
12-11-86 - 2 -
Application No. 86045 continued
Special Use Permit
TFe applicants representative, Mr. John Finley, has submitted a letter (attached)
addressing variance standards and special use standards from Section 35 -220 (also
attached). Mr. Finley states that the proposed use will "enhance the general
welfare in providing a one -stop convenience gas and convenience shopping which is
needed in the community." He argues that the proposed use will not be injurious to
other property because there is a Standard station to the south and a Burger King to
the north which, however, do not provide one -stop shopping. He notes the area is
basically fully developed and so development of surrounding property will not be
impeded. He concludes by saying that, if the variances are approved, ingress and
egress on the site will minimize any traffic congestion on the public streets.
Staff must point out first of all that the City's Comprehensive Plan recommends
service /office uses in this area of Brooklyn Boulevard, not retail, restaurants,
gas stations or other general commerce uses. The zoning of the property, however,
has been and remains C2 (General Commerce). The proposed use is comprehended by
special use permit in that zoning district. And, it is the zoning designation of a
property which more directly controls use than does the Comprehensive Plan.
Therefore, the proposed use is allowable by zoning, but will perpetuate the
inconsistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
As to the standards for special use permits, we see no obvious conflict with
standards (a) and (b). Standard (c) may be somewhat complicated if redevelopment
as well as new development is taken into account. The primary concern with this
application is over standard (d). Although the proposed setback variance would
allow for a second pump island which may help accommodate the flow of gasoline
consumers, the layout of the pump islands requres difficult turning movements by
cars entering the site from northbound Brooklyn Boulevard. We believe that the
present pump island layout will impede the flow of traffic into the site and,
thereby, create congestion in Brooklyn Boulevard. This is an unacceptable public
cost for the private benefit of more gas pumps.
Secondly, the variance from parking requirements may lead more patrons to leave
their cars at the gas pumps rather than pull into a parking space while shopping.
This may lead to more jockeying around the pumps and on -site congestion which could
conceivably spill over onto the public streets.
Thirdly, the addition of another access drive is certainly a step backward for
managing traffic on Brooklyn Boulevard. The potential for conflicts between
vehicles entering and exiting this and other sites in the vicinity will certainly
increase relative to what would be the case without gasoline available on the site.
Finally, we would point out that there are two other gas stations within two blocks
of the site and five existing stations within a mile. On the other hand, the nearest
convenience store is about one mile away. The orientation of the site to gasoline
sales, while understandable given the applicant's central product, may not be
appropriate for this location. We, therefore, feel it is inappropriate to make
site design compromises for an element of the business which may well become
secondary.
Recommendation
Staff are not prepared to recommend approval of either variance request at this
time. Furthermore, the layout of the gas pumps poses a danger to traffic flow in
Brooklyn Boulevard by unnecessarily complicating entrance to the site. Based on
these concerns, staff recommend that this application be tabled with direction to
12 -11 -86 -3-
Application No. 86045 continued
the applicant to modify the plan to meet City ordinances and provide unimpeded
movement into the site. Specifically, the following changes are recommended.
1. Provision of a grading, drainage and utility plan with utility
lines shown and sizes indicated. Grades and drainage provisions
should be shown. Catch basins should be provided on site to
handle on -site runoff.
2. Additional plantings including at least two shade trees in the
front greenstrip.
3. A building setback of 40' in accordnance with Section 35 -400.
4. Parking for 35 cars or a smaller building in accordance with
Section 35 -704.
5. Gas pump islands situated so as to allow for an unimpeded movement
into the site.
6. Building elevations indicating brick on all four sides of the
building.
7. Renderings of proposed light fixtures and poles with dimensions
indicated in accordance with Section 35 -414.
8. A modified northerly access at least 50' south of the Burger King
entrance and at least 50' north of the southerly access on the
site.
9. Information on the color of the proposed metal facia and
continuation of the facia band along the east side of the
building.
10. Plans for the proposed canopy including lighting detail within
the canopy.

Application No. 86046
Applicant: Crown Coco, Inc.
Location: 6100 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Variance
The applicant requests a variance from Section 35 -400 of the Zoning Ordinance to
allow a rear yard setback of 10 rather than the required 40 1 . The property in
question is the same as addressed in Application Nos. 86045 and 86047. Variances
from the Zoning Ordinance are comprehended by Section 35 -240 (attached), provided
the standards for a variance are met. Those standards are as follows:
a. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or
topographical conditions of the specific parcels of land
involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of
the regulations were to be carried out.
b. The conditions upon which the application for a variance is based
are unique to the h variance is sou ht
e arcel of land for which the
q P sought,
and are not common, generally, to other property within the same
zoning classification.
c. The alleged hardship is related to the requirements of this
ordinance and has not been created by any persons presently or
formerly having an interest in the parcel of land.
d. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the
neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located.
Applicant's Case
The applicant's representative, Mr. John Finley, has submitted a letter (attached)
advocating the proposed special use permit (Application No. 86045) and variances
for rear setback (No. 86046) and parking (No. 86047). The setback variance is
addressed in point #1 of Mr. Finley's letter. Mr. Finley states the variance is
necessary because the proposed building which is only two-thirds (2/3) the standard
size now being built, must be put as far back on the property as possible to allow
smooth ingress and egress and to alleviate internal and external traffic
congestion. He states that the variance is necessary if the applicant is to compete
in the existing convenience one -stop market. He also states that the variance
would not be needed if the parcel were not pie- shaped. He concludes by stating that
this circumstance was not created by the applicant and will not be detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to any other land.
Staff Analysis
a) Hardship: It is not clear from Mr. Finley's letter, whether the applicant
considers a 4,000 sq. ft. building or some lesser size to be a hardship. However, we
definitely do not. One thing must always be borne in mind with respect to density:
the amount of land on a given parcel is unchangeable; the amount of building on that
land is changeable. Therefore, the size and location of a lot are always more basic
than what is to be put on it.
Staff would agree, however, that smooth ingress and egress are important concerns of
the public as well as the property owner. The question is whether the building
12 -11 -86 -1-
Application No. 86046 continued
actually has to be set back as far as proposed to allow a smooth flow of traffic and,
if so, whether that objective is more important to the public than the rear yard
setback. We feel these questions ultimately lead back to the question of density.
The Planner has developed a couple of site layouts which put a 4,000 sq. ft. building
and required parking within appropriate setba Y on �
However the y have one P ump
island, whereas the applicant desires two islands. A plan with two islands and a
trapezoid- shaped building of approximately 3,500 sq. ft. also appears to be
possible. A 4,000 sq. ft. building with two pump islands simply does not appear
feasible if the rear setback requirement is to be met. We do not feel that a smaller
building, fewer gas pumps, or a trapezoid- shaped building are necessarily hardships
created by the parcel or the City's ordinance.
b) Uniqueness: A trapezoid- shaped parcel along Brooklyn Boulevard is not a unique
occurance. It does present some challenges in designing a site layout, but most
other buildings along Brooklyn Boulevard meet the required rear yard setback.
c) Cause: What brings about this variance request is that the applicant has no use
for a rear "yard ", whereas the Zoning Ordinance presumes the need in all zoning
districts for a minimum rear yard. It may be that accessory uses such as employee
parking, trash storage, and other storage (provided it is screened) are assumed to
be a part of every business operation; and, if they exist that it is appropriate for
them to be conducted behind the building. The imposition of a rear yard requirement
in this case tends to push the building to a position on the lot that either reduces
its size or reduces the number of gas pumps. On the other hand, it creates more room
for required parking which has not been provided on the proposed plan. The
ordinance requirements thus reduces space for the principal use while expanding
space for accessory uses.
d) Impact: In this case, there is an apartment complex to the east of the site,
zoned R5• There is no buffer required between a C2 use and an R5 district. Parking
this case
lot screening is required. In , there was a fence on top of a retaining
wall screening this site from the apartment complex to the east. The fence has
collapsed from lack of maintenance. On the R5 property, there are garages on the
west side of the apartment site. Staff would concede that, in this particular case,
the impact of the back of the building being 10' from the rear property line is
probably not noticeably greater than the impact of accessory uses such as parking
and storage.
Precedent
The applicant will no doubt point out that the service station to the south is set
back less than 40 from its rear property line. This is true. That station is
approximately 14.5' from the rear property line. When originally built in 1958,
the station was 28' from the rear lot line. A car wash addition in 1972 required a
rear yard setback variance which was granted. Staff do not find the reasons for
granting that variance very inspiring. They boil down to: better to allow a rear
yard setback variance than a front yard setback variance. If those were the only
choices, we'd agree. But, in light of more recent variance applications, it must be
pointed out that the option of denial does also exist.
Rear yard setbacks of less than 40' also exist for some of the buildings on the east
side of Brooklyn Boulevard between 55th Avenue North and 56th Avenue North. These
businesses have no access onto Brooklyn Boulevard and so might logically be located
closer to it, but they tend to be set back close to the private street between
Brooklyn Boulevard and Xerxes Avenue North by which their customers gain access
12 -11 -86 -2-
Application No. 86046 continued
Zantigos restaurant, which was recently built, was allowed closer than 40 from its
rear property line.
Nevertheless, there are far more examples of conformity, including the previous use
of this property. In general, staff are opposed to granting a setback variance for
a flat and (to be) vacant parcel of land.
Recommendation
We are simply not convinced at this point that a variance is necessary. If
alternative layouts which meet the setback requirement all appear to have serious
drawbacks, perhaps a variance should be considered. As of yet, however, we do not
feel the applicant has given this design problem his best effort. A revised plan
should definitely be submitted before favorable action on this application.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 86047
Applicant: Crown Coco, Inc.
Location: 6100 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Variance
The applicant requests a variance from Section 35 -704 of the Zoning Ordinance to
allow construction of a 4,000 sq. ft. convenience store with fewer than the required
number of parking stalls (27 rather than 35) . The property in question is zoned C2
and is bounded by Burger King on the north, by an 18 unit apartment development on the
east and land belonging to that complex on the south, and by Brooklyn Boulevard on
the west. The site in question is the site of the old Arthur TreacherIs restaurant.
Applicant's Case
The applicant's representative, Mr. John Finley, has submitted a single letter
addressing the standards for a variance and for a special use permit for the gas
station aspect of the proposed use. The comments related to the parking variance
point out that many of the patrons of the convenience store will, in essence, park at
the gas pumps. (In, fact, seven stalls are credited at the pump islands.) Mr.
Finley states that the required 35 parking stalls would, because of the
configuration of the land, create internal congestion on the site. He states that
customers rarely pull into regular parking spaces at such an establishment. Mr.
Finley states that the shape of the parcel (pie - shaped) is unique. He concludes by
stating that the variance will be an asset to the public rather than a detriment.
Staff Analysis
Based on the standards contained in Section 35 -240 (attached), staff do not believe
that a parking variance can be granted in this case. The only "hardship" in this
situation appears to be that the applicant cannot put as much building on the
property as he would like. The existing building is to be demolished and the site
will be clear for a new development. The size and shape of the parcel can support a
3,000 sq. ft. convenience store and gas pumps under the current parking formula.
This is as large a convenience store as has been built in Brooklyn Cente and,
therefore, does not seem to be an unreasonable limitation. The present retail
parking formula has been under study for over a year, but no change has been adopted
to this point. As long as the present ordinance is in effect, it must serve as the
standard for parking at existing and proposed retail developments. Based on that
standard, the proposed plan is deficient because of too much building or too many gas
pumps. These are not circumstances that arise from the land, but from the
applicant's desired use.
The circumstances in this case are not particularly unique. The pie- shaped (really
a trapezoid) parcel is fairly common on Brooklyn Boulevard. While such a shape
might create some minor difficulties, a deficiency of eight (8) parking stalls is
not minor and is not explained by the shape of the parcel. That is, the extent of the
proposed variance is not justified by the shape of the parcel. The convenience
store /gas station at the southwest corner of 69th and Brooklyn Boulevard is on a
similar shaped parcel, but met parking requirements.
With respect to standard (c), the hardship of not being able to have an extra 1,000
sq. ft. of retail space or a second set of gas pumps derives from the applicant's
objectives, not from the land itself.
Finally, as to whether the granting of the variance would be detrimental to the
public welfare, staff would respond on two levels. In terms of the general public
12 -11 -86 -1-
t
Application No. 86047 continued
using the station, it may well be that 27 stalls (including 7 at the pumps) would be
adequate. That number of stalls would be consistent with the alternate formula
recommended to the City Council. However, on the level of property developers, the
proposed variance would be quite inequitable since it would adopt a lesser parking
standard for this case only. (Note: an ordinance amendment would grant
development potential equally to all.) We feel such a variance would grant an
unfair competitive advantage to this parcel rather than make up for some inherent
disadvantage.
Reco mmendation
On the basis of the foregoing analysis, we do not believe that the standards for a
variance are met in this case. Accordingly, we recommend that the application be
denied, citing the following reasons:
1. The inability to build a 4,000 sq. ft. convenience store with two
gas pump islands is not deemed to be a hardship worked on the
applicant. Reasonable use of the land is possible within the
parking constraints of the City's Zoning Ordinance.
2. The shape of the parcel (trapezoid) is not particularly unique on
Brooklyn Boulevard. The difficulty presented by this shaped
parcel do not warrant a variance of eight (8) parking stalls.
3. The parcel of land is to be cleared for development under the
applicant's proposal. Maximum flexibility, therefore, exists
to design the site to meet ordinance requirements. The
applicant's difficulties result from his own objectives and not
the condition of the parcel of land.
4. The granting of the variance would be unfair to other similar
developments which have complied with ordinance parking
requirements since it would confer a special benefit on this
parcel only.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: James Lindsay, Chief of Police
DATE: December 19, 1986
SUBJECT: Duoos Brothers American Legion Post #630
Application for 1987 On -Sale Club Liquor License
Attached please find several items relating to the American
Legion n li
g quor license application including Investigator
Monteen's resume of his investigation. I have several concerns
which I will address in this memorandum. I do believe the
members of the Legion Club are making a sincere effort to improve
their operation. You will note from the attachments, that they
have taken several measures to adjust their operation. They
state their hours are oin to be changed. g g g They have
restructured the management end of the operation, and are using
other successful clubs as models to draw their changes from.
I believe there remain several problems relating to the gambling
and liquor license. I believe these are created only because
they lack the knowledge of what is required by the State and City
laws. Without going into detail, I believe these problems can be
worked out administratively with the Legion. It has become
obvious that they do not have the experience or expertise that
other liquor license holders in Brooklyn Center have.
Apparently, a major problem has been resolved. The Treasurer,
John Waterman, on his application dated November 26, 1986
certified that he had no felony record. Monteen's investigation
discovered a burglary conviction. Attorney Gary Flakne informed
me on December 19 that Waterman resigned his post as Treasurer on
December 18 effective immediately. I understood this resignation
to include his membership on the bar committee also. Richard
Atanasoff has agreed to be a temporary Treasurer, until a new
member is found and approved by the police department.
It is my recommendation that an On -Sale Club Liquor License be
approved for 1987 for the Duoos Brothers American Legion Post
#630. I would like to recommend that a condition be added, at
least for the time being, to that license. This condition would
require the Legion Club to submit for background checks any
person used as a bartender. Repeatedly the trouble the police
department has experienced with the club has generally initiated

Re: Application of Duoos Brothers Legion Post
No. 630 for Club License
Gentlemen:
The undersigned represents the Duoos Brothers American
Legion Post with regard to the above captioned matter.
Pursuant to Stipulation entered into between the Brooklyn
Center City Attorney and myself, which said Stipulation has
been ratified by the City Council of Brooklyn Center and the
Housing Committee of the subject licensee, Duoos Brothers
has agreed that its 1986 license should be revoked from
December 25, 1986 to January 1, 1987, but that its
application for 1987 license would be considered no later
than the regularly scheduled city council meeting of January
12, 1986, but prior to that time if the licensee filed an
application on or before November 22, 1986. The application
for 1987 has been filed with the City, but in discussions
with the City Attorney, the licensee has been told that it
needs to demonstrate to the
City changes in the operation
and management of the licensee so as to be in legal
conformance with the statutes of the State of Minnesota and
the Ordinances of the City of Brooklyn Center.
Pursuant to discussions with the governing officers of the
licensee, this letter is submitted in proposal form as
amendment to the existing application for a 1987 license.
It is furnished to you in hopes that the changes which are
proposed will give the City a sufficient time to investigate
the personnel and changes to the end that said licensee may
commence doing business in the City at the earliest
practicable time after the revocation has expired. The
following changes have been adopted and are herewith
submitted for your consideration.
1. There was established a Bar Committee consisting of
five members, to wit: Richard Atanasoff, Eugene McElligott,
John Waterman, Donald Blake, who will serve as Chairman, and
the Post Commander. The Bar Committee will have full
responsibility for the entire operation of the bar,
including but not limited to, all hiring and firing of
personnel, keeping of inventory, and all activities in
connection with the bar with all proceeds from bar
activities being run through a separate bar checking
account. The position of bar manager has been eliminated. A
separate bookeeper will be hired for this account, whose
additional responsibilities will also be as a separate
bookkeeper for the Gambling Committee. The search is on
presently fo
p y r an outside person to hired for that fob.
The bookeeper will be responsible for the legion account,
the bar operation account, and the gambling committee
account directly to the finance chairman of the Post who
will, in turn, be responsible to the outside accountant
hired by the Post to oversee these operations.
The licensee has also proposed that operation of the bar be
changed so as to reduce the number of hours the bar is open.
The proposal which is submitted to the City is that the bar
will be open from 12 :00 noon until 11:00 p.m. on Monday
through Thursday, from 12:00 noon to 1:00 a.m. on Friday and
from 11:00 until 1:00 on Saturdays. In addition, a door
guard will be employed, whose dual job it will be to enforce
the member - nonmember book to ensure that no nonmembers of
the Post be using the facilities unless they are a guest of
a member and this door guard will also operate as the
pulltab operator, which will be the only gambling operation
allowed on the premises.
The Bar Committee has also established a policy for last
call on all drinks to be at 12:20 on Fridays and Saturday
nights and at 10:30 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, with
only one drink allowed to be purchased per member or guest
at that time.
2. There has also been established a Gambling
Committee
which will supervise the operation of the
pulltabs in conjunction with the person hired to supervise
that operation and the bookkeeper. That committee is
composed of Earl Swenson, Conway Thompson, and Darryl
Fehrman
The committee will have the full authority to run
the pulltab operation with the bookkeeper who will be
responsible for running a weekly accounting and bookeeping
on the gambling operation which said accounting shall be
referred to the finance chairman on a weekly basis and from
there to the outside accountant, much the same as the
operation of the bar.
3. It is also proposed that the Housing Committee
which in the past has been responsible for the operating of
the Post and has acted as the governing body overseeing a
number of these activities, will be reduced from 9 to 5
people at such time as a Bylaw change can be adopted by the
general membership. The Housing Committee will be
responsible for the operating of the building, the grounds
and the maintenance and will not have any operating
authority over the gambling operation or the bar operation.
The City should be advised that the above changes were
adopted by the governing body, having been given authority
by the general membership of the Post and are binding on the
operation of the licensee. These proposals were enacted
after consultation with members of the Tenth District
American Legion and members of the Osseo American Legion
Post. The Osseo Post adopted these changes a number of
years ago and have been able to turn around the entire
operation of their Post and it was in that spirit that the
licensee wished to demonstrate to the City its desire to
operate in accorMnce with the standards of other licensees
within the City.
I will be more than happy to elaborate on these matters, but
wanted to have at least the structure of these management
changes before you, as we discuss the nature of the
licensees" 1987 application.

Resume by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 2
On or about 12- 04 -86, Investigator MONTEEN received an application for
the renewal of the On -Sale Club Intoxicating Liquor License on behalf
of the Duoos Brothers American Legion Post #630, located at 4307 70th
Avenue North within the corporate limits of the City of Brooklyn
Center, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
In reviewing the application for a liquor license, the American Legion
Post had five representatives of a "Bar Committee" making application
for the license and indicating that they would be the management group
on behalf of the American Legion Post and that no one individual was
named as the manager of the bar operation as had been the previous
practice. Because no one individual would be responsible for the day -
to -day operation of the Legion Club bar, Investigator MONTEEN concluded
that some continuity in questions and answers could be attained by
making a series of questions regarding the operation of the bar and
obtaining interviews from each individual regarding their understanding
of the operation. Investigator MONTEEN did outline approximately
seventeen questions which he then presented to each member of the Bar
Committee.
Each member of the Bar Committee indicated to MONTEEN that they
realized that there was a problem both legally and in community
relations between the operation of the American Legion previously and
the City of Brooklyn Center. All indicated that their primary goal in
forming a Bar Committee rather than continuing status quo was to make
changes for the better in the Duoos Brothers American Legion Post and
its reputation and credibility with the City.
Investigator MONTEEN did a criminal history and driver's license check
on each individual in application for a liquor license as is the normal
practice in such an investigation.
John Bernard WATERMAN was found to have a felony conviction in 1968 for
a burglary of a hardware store in the City of Brooklyn Center.
WATERMAN received a five year suspended sentence for his activity.
This is detailed in Brooklyn Center Police Department Case File No.
30148. The records of the Brooklyn Center Police Department indicate
that WATERMAN has been cited on four occasions for traffic violations
in the City of Brooklyn Center and that he was arrested for Hennepin
County warrants on one occasion. (Case No. 34245) WATERMAN's driver's
license indicates that he is currently valid and holds a Class B
license with a motorcycle endorsement. According to the records of the
Driver and Vehicle Services, WATERMAN did refuse to take a breathalyzer
test on 08 -24 -84 and as a result his driving privileges were suspended
for six months from 09 -04 -84 to 03- 04 -85. WATERMAN was also named as a
member of the Housing Commission in a gambling violations allegation
(Brooklyn Center Case No. 86- 11613).
Donald Dwain BLAKE shows one arrest with the Brooklyn Center Police
Department, that being 11 -12 -81 for driving while intoxicated. BLAKE
Resume by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 3
has no other criminal history with the City of Brooklyn Center,
Hennepin County, NCIC, or MINCIS records. Donald Dwain BLAKE currently
holds a Class C driver's license restricted to any use of alcohol or
drugs invalidating the license. According to the records of the Driver
and Vehicle Services, BLAKE shows four citations for alcohol related
driving violations since 1979. Investigator MONTEEN did ask BLAKE
about this problem with alcohol and driving and'BLAKE indicated that he
has now been sober for three years and is regularly attending
Alcoholics Anonymous. According to the records of the Driver and
Vehicle Services, rehabilitation was required and completed on 03 -29 -85
and driving privileges were reinstated at that time.
Eugene Edmund McELLIGOTT has no record of criminal activity with the
City of Brooklyn Center and no criminal history in NCIC or MINCIS
computers. There is no record of criminal activity in the City of
Minneapolis where he has been a resident prior to moving to Brooklyn
Center, nor with the Hennepin County Sheriff's Records Division or
Warrant Office. Eugene McELLIGOTT holds a valid Class C driver's
license with no violations.
Richard David ATANASOFF is listed in the files of the Brooklyn Center
Police Department as a member of the Housing Commission in a gambling
violations allegation (Brooklyn Center Case No. 86- 11613). ATANASOFF
has no criminal history ith the Ci of Brook Center MINCIS NCIC
Y Y Y
or Hennepin County. ATANASOFF holds a valid Class C driver's license
with no violations.
Likewise, Perry RONNEI is named in gambling violation allegations (Case
No. 86- 11613), but has no criminal history with the City of Brooklyn
Center, Hennepin County, NCIC or MINCIS. RONNEI holds a valid Class A
driver's license and has one violation for speed, that being in
September of 1980.
The five member Bar Committee is headed by Donald BLAKE, who was
currently named to the chairmanship of the Committee. BLAKE explained
the operation of the Club being divided into a Housing Commission for
the purpose of maintaining the actual facility, a Bar Committee to
operate the bar, and a Gambling Committee to handle all charitable
gambling, this being in addition to the ranks of the American Legion.
There will no longer be one single bar manager, but the Committee will
handle hiring, firing, ordering of liquor and supplies, the setting of
hours and the rules and regulations of the bar. According to BLAKE, it
will probably be necessary that the Bar Committee meet weekly, although
they have not set down any rules, regulations or operational programs
as they have only had one meeting of the Bar Committee, and that was
held at the Osseo Legion Post in order to see how the Osseo Legion
operates their bar. The Bar Committee will be responsible for the on-
site operation of the bar, but there is no provision that a member of
the Bar Committee be present at all times. The bartender will be in
charge of enforcing the wishes of the Bar Committee. Maintenance of
b
Resume by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -29094 Page 4
the books and records of the bar are currently the responsibility of
John WATERMAN, a member of the Bar Committee, and it was presumed and
inferred that WATERMAN would continue on as the treasurer for the new
operation. The accounts and books of the Legion are regularly audited
according to BLAKE.
Investigator MONTEEN continued to question BLAKE as to the operation of
the books and records and BLAKE advised MONTEEN that John WATERMAN is
the treasurer for the Housing Commission and is currently responsible
for the books, both for the bar and for the charitable gambling
operation. BLAKE went on to indicate that in the 1987 operation it was
the intention of the Bar Committee and the Gambling Committee to
establish two sets of books with two people writing checks and
responsible for each fund. Investigator MONTEEN inquired if at the
present time all funds of the American Legion were being run through
one account and BLAKE indicated that that was correct, that they were
in a single account.
Investigator MONTEEN inquired as to how the Bar Committee would intend
to operate the bar in 1987 and BLAKE indicated that all rules and
regulations, methods of operation, etc. had not been as yet determined,
however, some of the things which had been discussed were limiting the
hours of operation from noon until 11:00 p.m. except on "special event
nights ". Furthermore :hat °there were already regulations prohibiting
gambling in the Club . 1 that these would be enforced and that rules
and regulations would oe established to cover most events and
circumstances so that they could be enforced by the bartender and door
guard. BLAKE concluded the interview by soliciting the input of the
police department and Chief of Police in making positive changes in the
American Legion Post.
In the interviews, Richard ATANASOFF, Perry RONNEI, and Eugene
McELLIGOTT were members of the Bar Committee and as yet had not
received a position or title in the organization. All three answered
questions put to them similar to the answers given by BLAKE in the
course of his interview. Investigator MONTEEN established that all
three indicated that the relationship between the City of Brooklyn
Center and the American Legion Post was strained and that it was
necessary to make positive changes in the Post in order to ensure
proper operation of the bar, both for the benefit of the American
Legion and the City of Brooklyn Center. All indicated that at present
they have sat down once with the Commander of the 10th District and the
Bar Committee of the Osseo Legion Post and outlined areas of operation
in the Osseo Post which would appear to benefit the Duoos Brothers
American Legion Post. As yet they have not prepared any type of flow
chart regarding authority, operation, bookkeeping, auditing or rules
and enforcement. Each individual seems to be going into this
membership in the Bar Committee with a positive attitude and a
willingness to make the appropriate changes, however, at present there
seems to be no hard and fast plan for the operation of the bar in 1987.
Resume by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 5
John Bernard WATERMAN is currently serving as the treasurer for the
Housing Commission and it was indicated that WATERMAN will probably
continue as the treasurer for the Bar Committee. WATERMAN is the only
member of the Bar Committee who did not serve in the armed forces, but
is a member of the Sons of the American Legion.
In the interview with WATERMAN, he indicated that the Bar Committee
will be responsible for ordering, buying and selling the liquor for the
Legion Club. Moreover, he indicated that the membership of the Bar
Committee at the time of his interview, 12- 08 -86, had not been
finalized and would not be finalized until the general meeting the
following night. He indicated that this whole system was brand new to
him, that the Bar Committee had begun approximately one month ago and
was not yet in charge of the functions, but that they were patterning
themselves after the Osseo Post and as yet had not made their final
decisions, rules, regulations, etc.
Investigator MONTEEN inquired as to John WATERMAN's responsibilities as
the treasurer. WATERMAN indicated that he was responsible for all
bookkeeping, payment of the bills, liquor inventory reports, etc. He
indicated that all of the accounting records were audited monthly by
Jack VETCHER, a public accountant in St. Paul. Investigator MONTEEN
questioned WATERMAN re , ardirg the bookkeeping procedures for the bar
and charitable gamble - . and- WATERMAN indicated to MONTEEN that the
bookkeeping for charit`_ble gambling was completely separate from the
bookkeeping of the Housing Commission and bar. MONTEEN asked WATERMAN
if he served in any other capacity other than as treasurer for the
Housing Commission and WATERMAN indicated that he did not.
Investigator MONTEEN at this time would like to note that in
preparation for a report to the City Council on charitable gambling to
be prepared by Chief of Police Jim LINDSAY, MONTEEN met with Roger
FRANKE, the executive secretary for the Board on Charitable Gambling
for the State of Minnesota. At that time Investigator MONTEEN reviewed
the record keeping for charitable gambling operations in Brooklyn
Center, including the operations of the American Legion Post #630.
This meeting took place on or about the first of December, prior to the
assignment of this liquor license investigation. At the time of this
meeting, Investigator MONTEEN requested copies of the charitable
gambling income and dispersion sheets from the American Legion and the
Lions Club. FRANKE advised MONTEEN that these would be copied and
forwarded to MONTEEN at the earliest convenience of the Charitable
Gambling Board.
At the time of the meeting, FRANKE advised MONTEEN that the Duoos
Brothers American Legion Post was two months in arrears in the filing
of their charitable gambling records and payment of appropriate taxes.
FRANKE indicated that the Charitable Gambling Board had sent a letter
to the Duoos Brothers American Legion Post advising them of this
violation and indicated that they must take steps to bring their
Resume by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 6
records up to date or face the suspension of their charitable gambling
license.
On 12- 09 -86, Investigator MONTEEN did receive the charitable gambling
reports which had been requested of FRANKE. Investigator MONTEEN in
reviewing the reports of the Duoos Brothers American Legion noted that
the reports had been signed by John B. WATERMAN, as gambling manager.
Investigator MONTEEN then reviewed the statement given by John WATERMAN
indicating that the bookkeeping of the charitable gambling and the
records of the Housing Commission were maintained separately and that
he was treasurer for the Housing Commission, holding no other post in
the organization. MONTEEN also reviewed the interview with BLAKE
indicating that the records are currently run through one set of books
and that WATERMAN is responsible for all of the bookkeeping of the
organization.
Investigator MONTEEN did contact Roger FRANKE again and did confirm
that by State law, the record keeping of charitable gambling must be
maintained in separate accounts from all other bookkeeping of the
organization holding the charitable gambling license, and the gambling
manager of an organization must be an individual other than the
treasurer of the organization. Moreover, FRANKE indicated that the
license of the organiT Lion must reflect its current gambling manager
and any change in gar , Aing ;manager must be updated with the Charitable
Gambling Board. According to the records of the Brooklyn Center Police
Department as provided by the Charitable Gambling Board, Gerald BERNDT
is listed as the gambling manager for the Duoos Brothers American
Legion Post, but BERNDT has not filed as gambling manager since March
of 1986.
This concludes the resume of the investigation of Duoos Brothers
American Legion Post #630 in application for an On -Sale Club
Intoxicating Liquor License.

�i
Other questions may have been asked of individuals to clarify certain
answers. These were the primary line of questioning in the interviews.
Investigator MONTEEN was initially of the impression that American
Legion Club #630 in Brooklyn Center would fall under the auspices of
the 5th District of the American Legion. Early in the investigation of
this liquor license, Investigator MONTEEN contacted the 5th District of
the American Legion and requested a clarification on the membership
known as Sons of the American Legion. A representative of the
Commander of the 5th District advised MONTEEN via the telephone that
the Sons of the American Legion had been created for the express
purpose of making a place in the organization for children of the
veteran members of the American Legion. This squadron has no age
limits and according to the representative of the Commander of the 5th
District, the squadron is intended for children of the Legionnaires to
promote patriotism and a fraternal relationship through activities with
the family and the American Legion. The representative went on to
explain that they felt the intent was that a child would enter the Sons
of the American Legion at approximately age 8 and then after graduation
from high school or college, enter the armed forces and return to the
American Legion and hold membership in both the American Legion and the
Sons of the American Legion.
Investigator MONTEEN made two other notes during the course of this
investigation and interview, that being at the termination of the
interview with Eugene McELLIGOTT, when McELLIGOTT questioned MONTEEN as
to why the police depa =went• did not merely contact the American Legion
and advise them to remc e the gambling devices when they felt that they
were a problem, Investigator MONTEEN replied that he was not involved
in the investigation of this incident and did not know the facts and
circumstances that lead up to the seizure of the gambling device.
Moreover, McELLIGOTT questioned MONTEEN as to why someone from the
police department would not call and tip off the American Legion prior
to the serving of the search warrant, as he stated had been done at the
Laidlaw Post in Minneapolis. McELLIGOTT terminated the conversation
with MONTEEN by stating that "without liquor, there won't be a Legion
in this All American City ".

The following is an interview with Richard ATANASOFF taken at the
Brooklyn Center Police Department on December 9, - 1986 at 1530. This
interview is conducted in conjuction with the application for an on-
sale Club Liquor License by the Duoos Brothers American Legion Post in
Brooklyn Center. This interview is conducted by Investigator Paul A.
MONTEEN, transcribed and typewritten by Shirley SWAROUT, Clerk- Typist
for the Brooklyn Center Police Department. Case No. is 86- 20094.
Q. Would you please state your full name for the record, spelling your
last name.
A. Richard David ATANASOFF. A- T- A- N- A- S- O -F -F.
Q. And you age and date of birth?
A. July 227, 1931, I'm 55.
Q. Dick, what is your status? You are a member of the Duoos Brothers
Post, is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And how long have you been a member?
A. Oh, I don't know, about twenty years I guess it might be .
Concurrent years.
Q. And have you belonged to any other post?
A. The Anoka post up in Anoka.
Q. What branch of the military did you serve in?
A. I was in the Army.,
Q. During what period of time?
A. The Korean conflict.
Q. What is your current position with the post.
A. Well, right now I'm ...we're forming a new Bar Committee or
whatever, and I'm a member of the Bar Committee right now.
Q. Do you hold any other rank within the American Legion post?
A. I was on the Housing Corporation, but I guess we are in the process
of eliminating the Housing Corporation and come up with this Bar
Committee and stuff.
Q. Regarding the operation of the club. Explain your understanding of
the Bar Committee and the way the liquor operation is supposed to go on
a day to day basis.
A. Well, we're trying to pattern our club after Osseo's. We went over
and we spoke to them on they run it and they have like a Bar Manager
and she answers to the Bar Committee and all receipts will be handled
by the Bar Manager, with the overlooking of the members of the Bar
committee and then given to our Bookkeeper so that we don't have too
much money handled by too many people.
Q. So, all the receipts will be turned over to the Treasurer of the
Bar Committee and then.....
A. Yeah, something to that effect, or her records checked by inventory
and this sort of stuff that we got to do.
Q. Who ... Have you appointed a Treasurer yet?
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 2
A. No, we haven't. We are still in the process of getting this thing
set up real good and we, you know, are trying to have meetings in Osseo
so that we can get the groundwork done, and I guess we have to revise
our bylaws a little and this kind of stuff. I guess our attorney is
going to help us with that stuff.
Q. Do you know who your attorney is?
A. Yeah, Gary FLAKNE.
Q. Who will provide for the day to day operations of the bar. Who
will be present in terms of an operator.
A. Well, we're going to try, say hire a day bartender or someone
responsible for opening the club and working so many hours and say
possibly have a part time help, say after a certain hour.
Q. One of the Bar Committee people will not necessarily be there?
A. No, but we will all probably be in there at one time or another,
something like that, you know.
Q. And will the Bar Committe then be responsible for hiring, firing
and training employees?
A. Yeah, right. To check them out and this kind of stuff.
0 Q. And ..... The Bar Cc , -Attu is operating the bar. Who is then
responsible for the Ch- citable Gambling?
A. We are having a Gambling Committe set up too, I think. This would
be about four members or two members, I don't know exactly.
Q. And that will be just the operation of pull tabs?
A. Yeah.
Q. Is that a primary fund raiser at present.
A. Yes, yeah.
Q. Does the bar turn a profit that you know of?
A. Well, it's been kind of a status quo right now, so this is why we
are trying to establish maybe little tighter reins on this stuff.
Q. Specifically relating to the operation of the bar and including the
physical area around it. I'm sure you are familiar that we had an
incident of alleged gambling, other than charitable gambling there,
that the police were involved in during the past year.
A. You mean some odd ball machine?
Q. Yes, it was a poker machine if I recall. Are you familiar with
that incident?
A. Yeah, I've been involved in that.
Q. Can you just explain for me how that particular operation got
started up there.
A. Well, not really. I, you know, we've made a lot of statements
through our attorney already so.....

This interview is now being transcribed and typewritten by Lori NOVAK,
clerk - typist for the Brooklyn Center Police Department.
Q. Is there any other gaming that goes on, and I'm talking about the
friendly games between people in terms of gambling.
A. No, not since the last time we got in trouble, so we kind of nipped
that in the bud a little bit because...
Q. Okay, there are still video games, pinball machines and things of
this nature?
A. Yeah, right.
Q. But that's just a payoff with a point system type?
A. Yeah, right.
Q. They don't pay out in cash, they give you free games?
A. Right.
Q. And because of the formation of the new Housing Committee, has
there been any house rules adjustments?
A. We really haven't implemented any rules. We're kind of thinking of
like after the first of the year ... after we find out what our
problems... that their all solved here, and then we're gonna sit down
with our bar manager _ 1] triM' committee and our bartenders and we're
gonna sit down and ma-. the'ruies, how we want the operation to run.
Q. What are the membership requirements of Duoos Brothers American
Legion?
A. Well, you have to be an eligible veteran from the First World War,
Second World War, Korean War ... and I'm not sure what the eligibility
dates on the Vietnam are...yeah, there are some places you can belong
to the VFW and not be eligible to belong to the Legion, you would have
certain conflicts and this kind of stuff.
Q. And spouses are members of an auxiliary?
A. Yeah, right.
Q. Guests are eligible as long as they're with a member of the Post?
A. I don't know exactly how that rule goes, but its if someone is a
legitimate Legion member is there, than there more or less ... anybody
that walks in is the guest of the person that's sitting at the
bar... this kind of stuff.
Q. And there's a guest book there that they're supposed to use?
A. Yeah, the bartender is supposed to check them for their card to see
that they are eligible members and if not then they are ... you know,
they have to ask them to leave or be the guest of a member that's in
the club or something like that and they sign the guest book.
Q. A Legionaire from another Post of course would be a guest...?
A. Well, he still has to sign the guest book in.
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 4
Q. What is the organization "The Sons of the American Legion "?
A. Its like my son... seeing that I'm a veteran that this is something
of a national basis that they have set up that... for the kids to join,
this kind of stuff. I guess we got about 25 boys that joined.
Q. And what is your understanding of ... how do they get full membership
in the organization?
A. Well, I guess according to the national code or whatever it is they
are like ... well, I guess you'd say like a guest member or a member...a
full member I guess.
Q. Similiar to say an auxiliary member there ... a member of an
auxiliary unit within the Post?
A. Yeah, something like that.
Q. But they don't hold rank within the Post?
A. No, they may have their own president and stuff like this ... they're
supposed to have their own little club themselves or organizations.
Q. Clarify something for me...I presumed that this Post fell under the
5th District of the American Legion. I was informed that it falls
under the 10th District.
A. Yeah, I think it is the 10th.
r
Q. Where is the home _Mice of the 10th District... is that St. Cloud?
A. I don't know where the heck the headquarters is really, I know the
10th District Commander is from Osseo over here, I don't know...I can't
remember exactly what the hell his name is...I talk to the fellow
but...I don't know where the headquarters really is. Over in St. Paul
or something...
Q. Are you required to file any reports or financial or otherwise
operational reports with the American Legion District Office or
anything?
A. Not that I know of. I'm not familiar with any that we have to fill
out.
Q. Well, in your understanding of the operation previously and your
intentions for the club in the coming years, is there anything else
that you would like to have on the record regarding the application for
a license?
A. Well, I'd like to probably ... and this is where the Committee's
gonna try to set up to have a little better feeling and understanding
with the police department here and maybe come and get some aid and
ideas from you people how we can, you know, say operate our club more
efficiently so instead being on the outs that we are kind of in the ins
a little bit and have a good working relationship.
Q. We can appreciate that and you can rest assured...
A. Well, its tough you know to see the fighting, you know, in your own
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 5
community... we'd like to have the guys that are on the police
department, you know, as full members, to come out and join our club
and we think we have a pretty nice little club now, its not a very big
club, but they do a hell of a job for... like they've been sponsoring my
football team now for like 10, 11 years and...
Q. The Red Raiders?
A. Yeah, uh -huh.
Q. One other question regarding the size of the club, do you rent the
club out for any purposes ... any receptions, anything of that nature?
A. No, we don't have enough size. Now on the 14th, that's Sunday, my
football... we're gonna be there at 6:30, we're gonna have our little
cake and ice cream banquet and we give them their awards... this kind of
stuff, but things like that, say you have something special, a birthday
party or a meeting for a member that belongs they'll open the bar.
Q. It would have to be a limited number of people?
A. Yeah, I don't know what...I suppose there might be about 40 people
in ours and...
Q. And that's about a comfortable crowd?
A. Yeah, I don't know exactly what the capacity is.
Q. But its not regul. rented out for wedding receptions...?
A. Oh no, we couldn' gave -one at all, no.
Q. Okay.

Q. No, I guess I'm not worried about the opening and closing of the
doors, but first of all we got members. Who has access in terms of
membership. What is the requirements for membership.

your legal to be a member.

A. Well, there could be small reception, but very unlikely.
Q. Anything else?
A. No, except that I think we are trying to clean up our act with
committees and things we are doing now. It should be beneficial to the
club, the City. I had asked before to meet the Police Chief but Ms.
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 5
COX said that he was busy but he probably would have meetings with us
to discuss this, and I said, "Very Good, we would like that ". I would
welcome ideas or anything you could help us with.
Q. Well, we certainly will be here to help.
A. And if we call should we call you if we have any problems or any
questions we want answered?
Q. You can call me or you can call the Chief, yes. Anybody here
really.

The following is an interview with Eugene McELLIGOTT, taken at the
Brooklyn Center Police Department on 12/10/86 at 1115 hours. This
interview is in regards to the application for a liquor license, On-
Sale Club, for the Duoss Brothers American Legion in Brooklyn Center,
Case No. 86- 20094. This interview is conducted by Investigator A. Paul
MONTEEN, transcribed and typewritten by Shirley SWARTOUT, Clerk- Typist
for the Brooklyn Center Police Department.
Q. Would you please state your full name for the record, spelling your
last name?
A. Eugene Edwin McELLIGOTT. M c E- L- L- I- G -O -T -T
Q. Eugene, your a member of the Duoos Brothers American Legion?
A. Yes.
Q. For approximately how long?
A. Twenty years, eighteen years, something like that.
Q. And have you been a member of any other Legion club?
A. Yes.
Q. Which one specifically.
A. Bloomington and _______ _ __ _ __ St. Minneapolis.
Q. What branch of the military did you serve in?
A. Navy.
Q. And during what da. -es, do you recall?
A. October 1 51 throuc" September 1 55.
Q. And what is your position currently in the Club?
A. Well, I'm on the Housing Board. We're changing that, you know,
with this Committe so....
Q. It's in the influx between the Housing Committee and being the Bar
Commission.
A. That's right.
Q. Have you ever had any other positions in the club specifically.
A. I'm a Past Commander and I've held various other offices.
Q. Any positions that you have held with the State or National?
A. No.
Q. Regarding the operation of the Legion Club specific to the bar, can
you kind of give me a overview of your understanding of the operation
of the Bar Committee and how it's going to run the bar?
A. Well, they're going to have strict control of hiring and firing and
control of through an outside Auditor Accountant of the monies, and the
policies are going to be set by the committee and enforced by them The
overall operation of the bar only and no....
Q. The bar will be then a separate operation completely, with a
different set of books from the Housing Committe or the Charitable
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 2
Gambling, or from whatever.
A. Correct. Most particularly concern itself with the bar itself as
compared with the Housing Committee taking care of the building. They
aren't any concern of that.
Q. At the present time this is all been lumped into one thing, one
checking account and one set of books?
A. Yes, I think one of the most biggest reasons for that was because
at the inception of this club it was very small and it is still very
small, but now it seems a necessity to do this.
Q. Who will be in charge of the day to day affairs of opening,
closing, any problems that come up in the bar.
A. Well, I believe we are going to set down a list of situations and
they will be taken care of by the day bartender, where business is
usually slack and this things can be taken care of.
Q. The general ordering of supplies.....
A. Yeah, it doesn't change that much week to week as far the ...... you
know, it doesn't take a big amount of time to do.
Q. Okay, and who will be responsible for the daily receipts and
keeping the running to <;:r, on i-he, books.
A. Ah, like I say, we aven't set up the situation because of this
accountant. I think myself, personally, that I would like to have the
accountant's views on how to ..... what would be the best situation to
do. Whether we can operate out of a till situation and check it out at
shift change, or whatever. I mean, there are various things that
can ........ but definitely something has to be set up.
Q. Do you currently have a bookkeeper and treasurer?
A. Yes.
Q. Who would that be?
A. Well, we've got an outside accountant, his name is Jack BETCHER,
and he takes care of the, you know, the monthly statement.
Q. He files your State and Federal, whatever it is. Is there somebody
in the club that does the general accounting?
A. Yes, well there are two. The Housing Board has a treasurer and the
Legion has a treasurer. The Housing Board at the present time takes
care of the bar and the building and such. The Legion takes care of
strictly membership dues and things of that nature.
Q. You still out of the bar ..... you still operate a charitable
gambling, with a license and tabs and......
A. That's a separate, that's a separate committee.
Q. Okay. Specifically relating to the operation of the bar, are you
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 3
familiar with an incident of alleged gambling where the Brooklyn Center
Police Department removed a machine from the bar? It was a poker
machine.
A. Yes, that was a couple of months ago.
Q. Do you recall any of the facts or whatever...... How did the
blooming thing get in there is guess is my ...... was that a committee
decision?
A. When this decision was made I was not on the Housing Board, and to
comment directly, all I could give you is heresay as to how it did get
in there. There certainly wasn't any intention to do something
fraudulent or they wouldn't have brought it up in that manner, you
know. It was done legally as regards to what the Club thought it was.
Q. They still maintain video games, pinball machines and things of
that nature up there for the entertainment of....
A. They got those, Drive The Car Down the Road and, I don't know, I
don't play them.
Q. Also I know that 'n
i the past there have been a couple of reports,
I don't know that anything, I can't specifically come up with dates
specifically to alleges gambling things such as poker games or whatever
in the bar. I don't r-, ;nember one recently, but maybe a year or so ago.
A. You mean card playing?
Q. Card playing were money has been exchanged etc.
A. Not in recent times, no.
Q. Have there been any ..... does the Housing Committe, or the new Bar
Committee propose any changes in the operation of the club to insure
cooperation, both in terms of bar closing in terms of liquor not
served, seeing to it that gambling is restricted.
A. Definitely, the, what you call overpouring is definitely a monetary
thing, and to be honest with you the club should be making a lot more
money than it is. In other
words, you shouldn't have to have outside
situations. And as far as gambling goes, there is no gambling at all.
These things, I guess are going to be set up and are in the process,
but, you know, we haven't been on the field and scored.
Q. Right. I understand, I'm just trying to establish a little bit
of....
A. It's defitely a, I don't call it a shakeup, I call it a, like Grant
would say, rebuilding.
Q. I guess I'm becoming more familiar with the operation as a result
of having interviewed most of the people on the Board now. Are you
patterning this board after something which has been successful in the
past.
A. We went up to Osseo, with the help of the 10th District, who is
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 4
behind us in this matter and very cooperative. We went over and had an
opportunity o question em
Y them in regards q rds to certain ain areas in which i h we
thought we needed help and wondered how they did it. Naturally, not
everything applies for the simple reason that it is a bigger club, with
a bigger facility where they have different areas they can work out of.
They work in different volumes and they are working with more people so
they can have more committed people for different committees and such,
but they definitely did come up with some real good ideas for us and
that is some of the things we are patterning our guidlines after.
Q. One thing that you pointed out and one thing that I've been in
error, I always presumed that this was in the Fifth District of the
American Legion. It is in the Tenth, is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you know where the main office of the Tenth District is?
A. Ah, there is no main office to the best of my knowledge. They work
like out of the Commander's home.
Q. And then they, of course, have .......I believe they have a General
Office in the Veteran's Building?
A. Yes.
P
Q. How about membership requirements? What are the requirements for
general membership?
A. Well, it is printed on the back of the card. Well, I don't know
the dates, there are dates included which include each war and
conflict, whatever you call them, and you must be honorably discharged.
Q. And then spouses also have access?
A. Right.
Q. The spouses are members of the Auxillary?
A. Yes.
Q. Family and guests come in with members as long as they sign the
guest book?
A. The guest book is at the front door. Any guest must sign it.
Anybody can be a guest and any member can have any number or amount of
guests as long as somebody there is a member. We have another thing
called the SAL.
Q. That was my next question? Can you explain that membership for me?
A. I was the Commander at the time of the inception and signed the
Charter. We have a minimum requirement of so many people to sign the
Charter to get the Charter off the ground. It's sanctioned by the
National and it's designed to perpetuate the Legion. You know, people
0 like myself get old. This is the purpose of it, however, they have the
same privleges other than voting or participating in that manner.
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 5
Q. They cannot hold office in the Post, but they can one in.......
A. They have their own echelon and officers and a Commander.
Q. What are the age requirements for that, do you know?
A. There are none.
Q. Any male child, I guess>
A. At birth and the amount of the dues.
Q. Okay. Does you club have to report anything in terms of financial
or operational reports made, to the Tenth District on a regular basis.
A. The Legion is only concerned with Legion business. They did not
offer financial help like mortagages or anything. Their thinking, and
I've talked to them, the State Adjutant, and their thinking is, you run
a good ship and you keep it, and that's the way we want it. They will,
like this situation, we asked for help and they gave us as much as they
could and that was well appreciated.
Q. Anything lse now, being familiar r with the g h revised operation and
the intended operation pe of the club is there anything else you y g 1 y want to
et on the he record here regarding the legion club that you think might
be pertinent to our ba- ground.
A. I'll say this, I c;...'t remember the date that it was chartered, but
it started on a shoestring and the American Legion is dedicated to the
service of the community and it is served by, the Legion itself is
served by the people in all walks of life. They aren't born
Commanders, or born Treasurers or this or that. Sometimes, and it's a
newly elected Office, people get tired of the time they put in and the
next year they're out. They don't want it, so you naturally get a
different number of people involved. And, over a period of years this
has become slack. In other words, it started out with a cigar box and
a case of beer, now their into deliveries and the cash register. Times
don't necessarily make changes, they create the necessity for changes
and to say, "Let's do it like we did last year ", is an easy way out per
se, not an unconcerned person, I'd say an educated person in that area.
And sometimes these decisions are made hurriedly and maybe without
checking. The Legion has never been what you call a wealth or big
g
money place, but you can appreciate too, going to an attorney anytime
you, you know, and because there are no real professionals in this
situation you do take people's word maybe a little too longer than you
should.
Q. One other question I've got regarding the size of the club. The
facility up there is open on a regular basis and serves the Legion. Do
you rent any of the facility out for the purpose of benefits,
receptions or....
A. No, the best we could come close to that, the Post Office Union
meets for a meeting for a half hour. In situations like that we have
J •
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 6
rented the club out on a Sunday for Wedding Anniversaries, things like
that. We do not open. Our booze is put away and their booze is put
out. We require one bartender there to, you know, watch the club. But
we don't make any money ....
Q. It has to be a very limited number of people to be accomodated by
that particular facility.
A. Yeah, well in fact the Police Department wanted to have one down
there a few years back, but they didn't want to have a bartender there.
Bloomington and Brooklyn Center. Or Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park.
Q. I guess I don't have any more questions, if you've some for me
why....
A. What I can think of, I just hope that out of all this that it
doesn't look like we're hiding something, because it' not, it's just
that we got to change and we can't do it overnight. But, we are on the
road to doing it and with your help and anybody else that can put an
input into it, it certainly is going to be done and done right.

A. Perry RONNEI. R- O- N- N -E -I.
Q. And your age and date of birth?
A. I'm forty -one; 10- 20 -45.
Q. Perry, what's your membership status at the Duoos Brothers American
Legion?
A. I'm Commander.
Q. How long have you been a member?
A. Seventeen years.
Q. Have you been a member of any other clubs?
A. No.
Q. And what branch of the military did you serve in?

Q. You're currently the Commander of the club, right?
A. Uh -huh.

A. Well, the last year I was Sergeant -of -Arms and I ______
till that last year or so. Then I've been ... when I first joined I was
a Second Vice at one time and various other ones.
Q. So you've been through pretty much the rank structure?
A. Yeah, I guess.
Q. Regarding the operation of the club, could you explain for me the
structure under which the club currently operates and will operate the
bar section?
A. As of the new way its gonna be operated or what?
Q. Yeah.
A. The new operation is instead of having one person run the bar and
taking his orders from the Housing Corporation, there will be a five
man committee that runs the bar and they'll take care of the whole bar
situation.
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 2
Q. Who will be in charge of the day -to -day affairs of the
bar ... opening, closing, problems which occur at the spur of the moment,
under the new operation?
A. The bar committee...Don.
Q. Maybe you can explain for me what's the structure of the bar
committee ... is there a president, vice president or chairman, vice
chairman...?
A. Don's the chairman and then the other people are on the committee
with Don and everything discussed once a month at the meeting, you
know, with all the bar people.
Q. Are there any other ranks in there... treasurer, secretary or...?
A. No.
Q. Who is responsible for the bookkeeping of the liquor operation and
auditing the books, etc.?
A. That's gonna be...it hasn't started yet but there will be an
auditor for the bar itself, just for the bar itself.
Q. One bookkeeper for the bar?
A. Right.
Q. And then these books are regularly audited by an outside committee
or CPA?
A. Right.
Q. Will the bar committee then be responsible for the charitable
gambling operation in the bar?
A. No.
Q. Who will that fall under?
A. That will fall under the four man committee on the gambling
committee.
Q. I've got a couple of questions relating to the operation of the bar
currently. At the present time there is what, a manager, a bartender
and...?
A. There is one, you know, bar manager and he has three people that
work for him part -time.
Q. And is this job still currently operating or is that inactive?
A. As of right now, yes, until the bar committee get together... we've
only had one meeting so far.
Q. Have you... apparently you've done some research in order to form
this bar committee to change the operation. How did you arrive at the
committee type operation?
A. We went to the 10th District Commanders Post, which is in Osseo,
and had a four hour meeting on a Saturday and discussed how they
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 3
operate their bar over there and their gambling and we come under the
consideration that instead of one person doing it like we have been
doing, we're better off to have a four or five committee for each
different thing we do.
Q. Relating then again to the operation of the bar, the bookkeeping
for the bar at present is done by the bar manager?
A. Right.
Q. And then who takes care of the books for the rest of the club?
A. The Finance Office and the Housing Corporation takes care of the
books on the bar.
Q. So basically the guy just does a daily close -out sheet and turns
everything over to the Finance guy?
A. Right.
Q. And who is your charitable gambling...
A. Manager?
Q. Yeah.
A. Well, we have just one person, that's John WATERMAN.
. Q. And he's a finance officer?
A. Right.
Q. Is he also the finance officer for the Legion Club as well?
A. No.
Q. Just for the Housing?
A. Right.
Q. Are you familiar with an incident of alleged gambling other than
charitable gambling in the bar in which the police department was
involved a short time ago?
A. Yes, I was there.
Q. Can you ... are you familiar enough with that ... did you have
any... how did those games get into the operation, very simply.
A. They got into the operation...the person came into the—from
Dean's Vending came in to the Housing Corporation and asked if he could
bring the machines in and from there it went ... the Housing Corporation
wouldn't vote it in so they brought it in front of the general
membership meeting and the general membership meeting brought the games
into the Legion Club.
Q. And they then operated until the time that the police department
removed them?
A. Right.
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 4
Q. Currently there are still certain video games, pinball machines,
etc. that would be played up there that are of the type that payoff say
a game for points and things of that nature?
A. Right.
Q. What about other incidents of alleged gambling in terms of card
playing, poker playing, things of this nature...what's the status of
that within the club?
A. There is none anymore.
Q. And that's basically a house rule type situation?
A. Yeah, that went into effect ... oh, its gotta be over like two years
ago or something like that. They said we couldn't have any poker games
and dice whatsoever to shake for a drink or anything like that. The
only thing there is now is cribbage and a little gin.
Q. And as far as you know that's not played for money?
A. No, there's no money involved whatsoever.
Q. Does Dean's Vending Machines still service the vending machines
that are currently installed up there?
A. Yes.
Q. Okay, membership requirements. Who are members of the club?
A. Who are members of the club? The members of the club are people
that have served in the service during a wartime.
Q. And then there is also auxiliary membership for wives?
A. Right.
Q. Significant others too, I suppose?
A. Well, wives, yeah both wives and /or daughters and SAL's or Sons of
the American Legion.
Q. Sons of the American Legion... could you explain that for me. This
is a new...?
A. Its something new into the Legion although it has been for the
last... its been about five years, four years, something like that. As
for the Sons of the American Legion, if you weren't in the service and
your father was, or your grandfather, you have a right to become an
American Legion under the SAL law.
Q. That's if your ... one of your parents, grandparents has to have
maintained membership in the organization?
A. Not membership, no, just if they had been in the service during a
wartime.
Q. Okay.
A. The reason is because the American Legion is dying down in their
membership. This is to bring more members in the American Legion.
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 5
Q. These Sons of the American Legion, do they hold office within the
American Legion itself?
A. No.
Q. Is that an auxiliary organization?
A. They have their own little... just like we do, you know, they have a
commander and they have a secretary... they have their own little group.
Q. You are a club under the auspices of the 10th District of the
American Legion, is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. That's something I had to clarify for myself, I always thought it
was the 5th District.
A. No, its the 10th.
Q. And that's headquartered out of Osseo at the present time? The new
manager is?
A. That's where his Post is.
Q. And basically the headquarters of the District moves from Post to
Post with the commander, does it not?
A. Well, there is no specific headquarters. Its just all of the
58...I think its 58 Legions in the 10th District right now.
Q. And are you required as a Post to file any operational or financial
records with the 10th District or the national office of the American
Legion on a regular basis annually or otherwise?
A. Not that I know of.
Q. That's it.
The following is an interview with John B. WATERMAN, taken at the
Brooklyn Center Police Department at 1330 hours on December 8, 1986.
This interview is in regards to Brooklyn Center Case File 86- 20094, the

of a Legionaire member.......
Q. Okay.
A. and I got a regular card so I just renewed it every year.
Q. What are the sons of the American Legionaires
A. To qualify, your father had to be a member.
Q. Is this a nationally recognized membership?
A. Yes.
Q. Ah, and do they..... apparently they hold office in the club. Do
they hold office in the Fifth District or in the nation?
A. I'm not sure.
Q. Your currently the Treasurer of the Housing Board?
A. Right.
Q. And as that, what is the ..... what is your responsibilities.
A. I pay all their bills and write out the paychecks. That's about it
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 2
I guess.
Q. We'll ask you more questions regarding that in a minute, I believe.
Have you held any other offices in the Post.
A. No.
Q. Oh, regarding the operation of the club, can you explain the
organizational structure of the Housing Board as it relates to the
operation of the club?
A. Umm, the Housing Board is in charge of the building, maintenance
and the bar.
Q. Okay, and do you meet regularly in order to discuss the operation
of the facility then?
A. We meet on a monthly basis.
Q. Who is in charge of the day to day affairs?
A. The American Legion, it's the ---- ___ ---- the exact board. It's a
committee just for American Legion affairs.
Q. They do the ...... there in charge of the day to day operation of the
club?
A. Right.
Q. And who sits on this board?
A. Ah, there's five members on this board. I'm not sure exactly who
they are, it changes every year.
Q. They have the authority to hire and fire and appoint bartenders
and...
A. That's the Housing.
Q. Who operates the bar?
A. The Housing Corporation.
Q. And who operates the bar on a day to day basis?
A. The Housing corporation.
Q. Who is in charge of it? Let's say you and I were to go up there
now, who would be in charge?
A. We have a Bar Manager hired, Mike RONNEI, and he took care of
ordering all the liquor, food, pricing, bar tender scheduling. He is
in charge of all that and he was also our full time bartender.
Q. Is he still with the organization?
A. He's with the organization as a Bartender.
Q. He's their Manager or....
A. No.
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 3
Q. So there is no one individual responsible now for say, ordering,
buying, selling.
A. No. We changed that over to a Committee now. We went up to Osseo
and we got some recommendations from them on how they run their Club.
There is four people in charge of the Bar, the Bartenders, Inventory,
everthing like that.
Q. And are these four people all on the Housing Committee?
A. I believe three of them are and we were going to elect one off the
floor at the general meeting which is tomorrow night. I'm not real
sure about this, it is brand new to me too.
Q. Will the Housing Board then be responsible for training your
employees, both voluntary bartenders and paid bartenders and that sort
of thing.
A. By the Housing Board do you mean old Housing Board or....
Q. Whatever your on now.
A. Okay. That's the Bar Committe that we just came up with in the
last month. Yeah, they will be in charge of all the bar functions.
Bartenders, everything like that. The Housing will be just in charge
of maintenance of the building.
Q. You as Treasurer are responsible for all the bookkeeping, payment
of bills, you also make liquor inventory reports and those things that
are necessary for state regulations?
A. Yes.
Q. Is that ever audited
or regularly audited.
g Y
A. It's audited every month. We send everything to an accountant. A
Public Accountant in St. Paul. He gives us monthly reports. He
balances our bank account, the checks, everthing.
Q. Do you know the name of your Auditor by chance?
A. Yeah, I do. Jack BETCHER. I had to think a minute.
Q. Are you then responsible, this is the bookkeeping for the bar.
A. Right.
Q. Ah, the bookeeping let's say for the charitable gambling operation,
and the American Legion etc. Are you responsible for that as well?
A. No that is completely separated.
Q. Okay. You've......
A. There has been a Committee set up for that also.
Q. You've been a member for approximately four years correct?
A. Right.
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 4
Q. And specifically relating to the incident, or to the operation of
the facility surrounding the bar, which we will kind of refer to as the
Bar.....
A. Okay.
Q. ...are you familiar with incidents of alleged gambling other than
the charitable gambling that has taken place up there?
A. Um, the poker machines are you referring to?
Q. The poker machines, the.....
A. Yeah, we had those poker machines there for quite awhile.
Q. How did they come about? Were you familiar with that incident?
A. Ah, I was at the meeting that .... when it all did come about.
Q. What was the purpose in putting those in, do you recall?
A. Making money, obviously it is the only reason we put them in.
Yeah, the guy from the vending company, I don't remember his name just
off hand, he came and told us about these poker machines and said they
had them out all over town and from what he told us they weren't legal
or illegal and if they became illegal they could pull them out the same
day, but we should have them in there because they were a good fund
raiser. We decided to call around and check it out. We called up to
Gordons and we called over Crystal somewhere and a couple of other
people that he said he had machines in their establishments. We asked
them if they had any trouble and they said, "No ", so we put them in.
Q. Do you currently keep video games, pinball machines, etc. installed
in there?
A. Yeah.
Q. Does Dean still service these?
A. Yeah.
Q. Any of those currently paying off in cash?
A. No, no.
Q. Is there any other gambling games regularly played up there that
you are familiar with?
A. None.
Q. That's one of the house rules now that no gambling or.....
A. Yes, stronger than ever now.
Q. Who has access to the Club?
A. The Bar Manager Mike RONNEI, and I believe the Commander.
Q. They are the only two that can open and close it for business
Interview by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 86 -20094 Page 5
hours?
A. Right. The Night Bartender he can get out, but he can't get back
in.
Q. Okay. What about membership requirements. First of all we have
members who are as I understand it, U. S. Military veterans who served
during conflict. World War I, World War II, Korea or Vietnam. That's
full membership, is that correct?
A. Right.
Q. Who else holds membership in the club.
A. Any of their sons. The sons of any Legionaire. That's called the
S.A.L., and the Auxilary, which is the wives.
Q. And then, of course, members of other American Legion Posts by
showing proper identification, have access to the club.
A. Right. They are a guest.
Q. And there are some regulations made for certain guests to come in
with a club member? It's appropriate........
A. Anybody in the community can come in there with a member, a guest.
They sign the guest book.
Q. Those are the bass <........
A. Right.
Q. The organization is sanctioned by the American Legion, -Fifth
District, State of Minnesota. Are you required to file any operational
or financial reports with the District or National Office?
A. Not that I know of, but that doesn't mean that we don't. I think
that the Commander might have to fill out a yearly report to them, I'm
not sure. I don't really know about that.
Q. Anything else that you can think of that I haven't covered about
the operation of the bar itself in the liquor establishment?
A. No, actually we are doing quite a few changes right now so we all
have a lot of questions between ourselves even, and the Bar Committe is
going to be a much better idea. When we get it going and when we all
agree on something beside what we are going to do for sure, it will be
run a lot better I'm sure of that.
Q. I take it that you have done some polling among some other legion
clubs of same or similar makeup and size. Are they ... do they tend to
run the same type of operation:
A. Actually, they've had the same similar problems as us in the past
when they had it running like ours. We got together with two or three
different clubs and this is what we kind of pooled together with all of
them. They really did give us a lot of good advice. How to run things
with committees instead of one person in charge of so much.

TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Director of Finance

SUBJECT: 1986 AUDIT AGREEMENT
I have attached the agreement for the independent certified audit of all
City funds for the calendar year 1986 as submitted by our auditors,
Seifert, Betts & Co., Ltd., Certified Public Accountants.
Please present the proposed agreement to the City Council. As you will
• recall, the Council directed us, during the adoption of the 1987 General
Fund Budget, to engage our present auditors for the 1986 audit, rather than
to seek proposals from other firms. If the agreement meets with the Council's
approval, the Council should, by motion, authorize the Mayor and City Manager
to enter into the agreement.
The 1986 audit is guaranteed to cost no more than $15,325. That compares to
a guarantee of $16,650 for the 1985 audit.

December 3, 1986
Honorable Mayor, Members of the
City Council, City Manager and
Director of Finance
City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota
This agreement will confirm our understanding of the arrangements for
our examination of the combined financial statements of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota for the year ending December 31, 1986.
We will examine the City's combined, combining, individual fund, and
account group financial statements for all of the City's Funds and Account
Groups as listed in Exhibit A. The examination will be made for the
purpose of expressing a professional opinion as to the fairness with which
the financial statements present, in all material respects, the financial
position, the results of operations, and changes in financial position of
its proprietary fund types, as of and for the year then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent
with the prior years. Our examination will be made in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards; the provisions of Standards for
Audit of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities and Functions,
promulgated by the U.S. Comptroller General, as they pertain to financial
and compliance audits; the Single Audit Act of 1984 (Pub.L. No. 98 -502)
and the provisions of the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Circular
A -128, Audits of State and Local Governments which implements the Act; the
provisions of the OMB Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and
Local Governments; the provisions of the Legal Compliance Audit Guide
promulgated by the Legal Compliance Task Force pursuant to Minnesota
Statutes Sec. 6.65; and, accordingly, will include such tests of the
accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we consider
necessary in the circumstances.
We will review the system of internal accounting control as required
by generally accepted auditing standards to evaluate the degree of
reliability of the data to be tested and to determine the nature, extent,
JAMES W. SEIFERT, CPA and timing of other audit tests that are required in the circumstances.
GEORGE D. BETTS, CPA
Our engagement is subject to the inherent risk that material errors,
KENNETH P. JAEB, CPA irregularities, or illegal acts, including fraud or defalcations, if they

JANE L. HOYUM, CPA However, we believe the scope of the engagement offers an acceptable
CINDY K. HAYES, CPA
DOUGLAS F. BERGSTROM, CPA balance between conclusive reliability and reasonable audit costs. It
provides for inquiries and selective tests of operating procedures,

including those designed to safeguard property. It gives reasonable
assurance that the overall financial position and the results of operations
are fairly presented on the basis indicated. It should be recognized,
however, that it gives less assurance as to the accuracy of the individual
items appearing in the financial statements since the tests are directed
toward forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole.
We will, of course, inform the City Council if, as a result of this
examination, it is felt there is a need for someone to investigate more
specifically for possible irregularities or needed changes to the accounting
system and procedures, or review them more extensively, with a view to
minimizing the possibility of future losses.
The audit shall be conducted in accordance with minimum procedures for
auditing pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes. The Auditor
shall make specific comments and recommendations with regard to any non-
conformity with procedures prescribed by statute or charter. We shall
report as to whether the accounts are kept in accordance with a proper
classification of accounts and as to any defects in the accounting plan and
financial procedures that make it difficult to provide for an internal audit
or for proper accounting and audit by independent auditors. We shall also
report any failure of the Finance Department to make financial reports
required or needed for administrative purposes.
It is understood that our responsibility in cases where a municipal
officer or officers receive or hold funds for other authorities shall be
limited if we are not authorized to examine the accounts of such officers in
this extra capacity.
The period of the audit shall be the calendar year 1986, performing
field audit procedures with a subsequent review of records from the date of
the balance sheet to the conclusions of field work to obtain any information
which may materially affect the report as prepared by the City. We reserve
the right to prior examination and approval of any printed matter in which
the auditor's opinon is published or released for use by any third party.
We shall make a more extensive investigation where circumstances
'disclosed by the audit call for a more detailed investigation than would be
necessary under ordinary circumstances. In any event of this nature, we
shall notify the City Council the reason for, and the extent of, the
additional procedures required. It is understood that additional
compensation shall be paid for such services performed.
This engagement is conditioned on our understanding that management
will assume the City's full responsibility for recording and reconciling
all general ledger account activity prior to submitting the trial balance
for examination, make all final adjustments to all general ledger accounts,
City of Brooklyn Center
• December 3, 1986
Page 3
prepare all working papers and schedules in support of balance sheet
accounts in an acceptable format and that all supporting schedules will
fully document the trial balance a ce provided to us. The nature and content of
operating statement account supporting schedules will be determined from the
results of the evaluation of internal accounting control and other
statistical tests to be performed prior to the commencement of audit field
work. Such supporting schedules will be prepared by management in an
acceptable format and will be submitted to us for examination. In the event
management requests us to assist in these areas, it is understood that an
additional fee shall be paid for such services performed. No additional fee
will be performed unless prior approval is received from the Finance Director.
The listing of preparation work to be performed by the City Staff is attached
as Exhibit B.
Generally accepted y pt auditing standards require that we obtain a written
statement of management representations prior to the issuance of the audit
report. We will discuss the form and content of the statement to be signed
by the Manager and Financial Director of the City. Upon completion of all
auditing procedures, formulation of the auditor's opinion and our receipt of
management's written representation, we will publish our opinion on the
. financial statements. Barring any unforseen circumstances or any delays, we
expect to publish our opinion on the financial statements no later than
June 1, 1987
The types of Financial Statement Opinions are outlined as follows:
1. The expression of an unqualified opinion indicates that the
financial statements meet in all material respects, the
established criteria for a fair presentation.
2. The expression of a qualified opinion results from limitations
imposed by management on the scope of the examination, the
inability to perform the examination in accordance with enerall
g Y
accepted auditing standards due to limitations imposed by
management or existing circumstances, or the inability to apply
generally accepted auditing standards which results in a material
departure from the established criteria for a fair presentation of
the financial statements.
3. The expression of an adverse opinion results from material
departures from generally accepted accounting principles, their
inconsistent application, or inadequate disclosure of financial
information so significant that a qualified expression of opinion
is not justified.
4. A disclaimer of opinion results where scope limitations or
existence of uncertainties are so significant, they preclude the
auditor from formulating an opinion on the presentation of
financial statements taken as a whole.
City of Brooklyn Center
December 3, 1986
Page 4
We expect to issue an unqualified opinion on the City's financial
statements. If during the performance of the audit, we conclude that an
unqualified opinion cannot be issued, we will promptly notify the Finance
Director and the City Manager in writing stating all matters which preclude
the issuance of an unqualified opinion. In connection with the annual
audit, we will issue the following:
1. Auditor's Report on General Purpose Financial Statements;
(combined, combining, and individual funds).
2. Auditor's Report on Supplementary Schedule of Federal Assistance.
3. Auditor's Comments on Compliance for Single Audits.
4. Auditor's Report on Internal Accounting Control based solely on a
study and evaluation made as part of a Single Audit.
5. Auditor's Report on State Legal compliance.
6. A management letter containing comments on compliance with
statutes and regulations, recommendations for improvements, and
any other comments deemed pertinent by-us as auditors.
The preparation and printing of the report shall be the responsibility
of the City subject to review by us as to content, appearance and matters of
presentation so as to enable us to fulfill our responsbilities as they
relate to proper disclosure. We shall receive three (3) copies of the
printed report.
The audit engagement will commence after the approval of this contract
by City Council and will be supervised by George Betts, an officer of the
firm of Seifert, Betts & Co., Ltd. and by Larry Jacobson, an audit manager
experienced in governmental audits. A senior accountant will be employed on
this engagement on a near permanent basis. Work not of senior capacity will
be performed by staff assistants whenever practical.
Our fees for these services will be based on the actual time spent at
our standard hourly rates. The time required on this engagement will be
accumulated by category as to officer, manager, staff assistants and support
staff classifications and will be available to the city upon request. The

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Brad Hoffman, HRA Coordinator
DATE: December 19, 1986
SUBJECT: Goodwill Recycling Center
During the 1985 session of the Minnesota Legislature, a law was
passed mandating that metro area landfills will not be allowed to
accept municipal solid waste unless it has been through a
resource recovery facility first. The legislature also empowered
metro area counties (Hennepin) to adopt ordinances requiring the
separation of recyclable materials.
Hennepin County has adopted an ordinance requiring each community
to reduce the amount of solid waste generated within its
respective boundaries by 16 percent by 1990. The 16 percent
figure was established by the Metro Council and adopted by
Hennepin County. The implementation and enforcement of the
Policy is the responsibility of each community under the
ordinance. If a community fails to implement a program by
January 1, 1988 or implements a program that does not meet the 16
percent reduction goal by 1990, than Hennepin County can enforce
Section V of the ordinance (attached) requiring occupants of all
buildings (commercial and residential) to separate the waste.
Aluminum, glass, paper and metals would all be packaged
separately under rules established by the county.
With this general background, Brooklyn Center has given
consideration to establishing a recycling center under our joint
powers sanitation agreement with Brooklyn Park and Crystal. At
this time, a site has not been selected, however, it appears as
if Menards new site in Brooklyn Park will be the site.
It is proposed that the three (3) communities enter into a
contractual agreement with Goodwill Industries to operate a
recycling center. Their budget for 1987 (attached) is $19,673.
Brooklyn Center's share would be $5,645.50. The allocation of
cost is based upon the number of households in each community.
In essence, Goodwill will operate a center, provide all the
staffing, insurance, record keeping, and recycling of materials
brought to the site by residents. The communities involved would
provide the site and certain capital items, most noteworthy being
a converted semi - trailer. Start -up costs total $19,673.
To finance this program, the legislature will rebate $4 per ton
of material collected and recycled. Also, $.50 per household is
rebated to communities participating in such a program. The
money for both will come from the Metropolitan Council's landfill
abatement fund.
Memo to Gerald G. Splinter
December 19, 1986
Page 2
In order to capture Brooklyn Center's share of the start -up
costs, it is necessary for the City to incur costs in 1986. Our
$5,645.50 share of the cost will be recovered from the Metro
Council fund. The annual operating costs will be recovered from
Metro Council also except for $72.50 per Goodwill's contractual
budget.
Council action required will be the amending of the 1986 budget
in the amount of $5,645.50 for this program and authorizing the
City Manager to sign a joint powers contract with Goodwill.

RE: Recycling Program - Hennepin County Ordinance
DATE: October 17, 1986
Hennepin County has adopted a solid waste ordinance
that, in effect, will require us to operate a recycling
Y g
program. The cities of Crystal and Brooklyn Park wish to
use the existing Health Department Joint Powers Agreement to
comply with this requirement. You have indicated that this
would be desireable for Brooklyn Center.
We have, therefore, drawn up a proposed resolution for
the Council's consideration. The Metro Council funding
would cover all the capital costs to start a recycling
center. The -°° ^posed budget for 1987, to operate the
center, would provided by grant monies except for $72.50
(see attached y roposed budget). We would be contracting for
this with Goodwill Industries and the figures provided
reflect their estimates. The proposed contract with
Goodwill is attached.
We, however, must have grant application and contracts
signed within the next few weeks to qualify for 1986
funding.

This is the total cost of the recycling center. We have developed a center on
as little as $1,688. Our concept is very flexible and we will work to meet your
needs and utilize available funds.
This project can be set up with only several months lead time.
Using household abatement monies, capital expenses can be submitted in 1986 and
wages submitted in 1987, assisting with the cash flow.
