MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY
OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
REGULAR SESSION
NOVEMBER 23, 1987
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Brooklyn Center City Council met in regular session and was called to order
by Mayor Dean Nyquist at 7:05 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Mayor Dean Nyquist, Councilmembers Gene Lhotka, Celia Scott, Bill Hawes, and
Rich Theis. Also present were City Manager Gerald Splinter, Director of Public
Works Sy Knapp, Finance Director Paul Holmlund, Director of Planning and
Inspection Ron Warren, City Sanitarian Tom Heenan, City Attorney Charlie
LeFevere, HRA Coordinator Brad Hoffman, and Personnel Coordinator Geralyn
Barone.
INVOCATION
The invocation was offered by Councilmember Lhotka.
OPEN FORUM
Mayor Nyquist recognized Arnold Land, 6845 York Place North, Brooklyn Center,
who said he is representing six homeowners in the Earle Brown Farm Town Houses
near 69th Avenue North and Shingle Creek Parkway. He referenced two newspaper
articles from the Brooklyn Center Post from 1972 and 1973 which note part of the
conditions for approval of the town homes was installation of a 6 foot fence and
planting of trees. Mr. Land proceeded to describe fraudulent claims made by the
contractor, including the erection of a fence that never has been installed and
planting of trees that never were planted. He said at the rear portion of the
town house complex, dirt, concrete, and old curbing has been dumped onto the
property, making the area look like a dumping ground. Mr. Land said the town
home association does not have enough reserves to maintain the back property and
thought perhaps the City Council could foreclose on the bond issued to the
contractor. The City Manager said he will investigate this complaint and report
back to Mr. Land and the City Council.
CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Nyquist inquired if any Councilmembers requested any items removed from
the consent agenda. Councilmember Theis requested item 7b be removed from the
consent agenda, and Mayor Nyquist removed item 7k from the consent agenda.

RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED)
The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Work Performed under Contract
1987 -H (Sate Ili te /Dumpster Enclosures, Park Improvement Project No. 1987 -13).
Councilmember Theis pointed out the resolution is in error as written, and he
specified item 2 in the resolution should include "the value of the work
performed is less than the original contract amount plus change order No. 1 and
supplemental agreement No, l."
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -219
Member Rich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption as
amended in item 2:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING WORK PERFORMED UNDER CONTRACT 1987 -H (SATELLITE /DUMPSTER
ENCLOSURES PARK IMPROVEMENT PRO -
PROJECT N0. 1987 13
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 Accepting Engineer's Report Regarding
Rehabilitation of Well House No. 5 and 6 (Improvement Project No. 1987 -20) and
Accepting Proposal for Architectural Services Relating to the Preparation of
Construction Plans and Specifications and Construction Supervision of Project.
The City Manager noted the question raised by Councilmember Lhotka at the last
Council meeting regarding terracing of the roof has been responded to in a
memorandum from the Director of Public Works. The Director of Public Works
proceeded to review an example of what terracing is. Councilmember Lhotka asked
what the planned taper for the City's buildings will be, and the Director of
Public Works said this has not yet been designed; his best estimate is that it
will be similar to or a little less than the examples shown. Councilmember
Lhotka asked what will go over the installation, and the Director of Public
Works proceeded to review the options for roofing materials. He noted generally
the City will lean to a modified or built -up roof. Councilmember Lhotka asked
if the City will really be helping the situation much, especially with regard to
snow. The Director of Public Works said there will be a tapered roof at the
community center, and the City's architect felt this is sufficient to prevent
deterioration caused by water build up. Councilmember Lhotka said he has a
difficult time realizing the recommendation will be effective on the smaller
buildings.
There was further discussion between Councilmember Lhotka and the Director of
Public Works on how the tapering works. Councilmember Lhotka inquired about the
costs of the project, and the Director of Public Works said the terracing is
somewhat cheaper than an alternate suggested by Councilmember Lhotka.
Councilmember Lhotka said he still has real doubts on the comparison of cost,
but because the Director of Public Works seems sure the cost will be the same,
he will go along with it. The Director of Public Works said after discussions
with the architects, he is confident the City will have good results.
11 -23 -87 -4-
Councilmember Hawes expressed concern about the insulation, and the Director of
Public Works said it would not be a problem. He stated further the architects
have a good deal of experience with these structures and he is going on the
recommendation of the architects.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -220
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING ENGINEER'S REPORT REGARDING REHABILITATION OF WELL HOUSE
NO. 5 AND 6 (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1987 -20) AND ACCEPTING PROPOSAL FOR
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES RELATING TO THE PREPARATION OF CONSTRUCTION PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS AND CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION OF PROJECT
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 Authorizing the Purchase of a 3/4 Ton
Cab - Chassis for the Public Utilities Department. He said this is a replacement
vehicle and the memorandum in the agenda packet describes the equipment.
Councilmember Lhotka asked why this is not considered during the normal budget
process, and the City Manager noted the Public Utilities Department is not part
of the City's budget.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -221
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF A 3/4 TON CAB - CHASSIS FOR THE PUBLIC
UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Accepting Quotation and Authorizing the
Purchase of a Mid Size Pickup for the Public Utilities Department. He noted
this request is similar to the previous one.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -222
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING QUOTATION AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF A MID SIZE PICKUP
FOR THE PUBLIC UTILITIES DEPARTMENT
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Rich Theis, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Amending Article VII of the Advisory
Commission Bylaws. Mayor Nyquist said he requested removal of this from the
consent agenda because the more he read the amendment, the more he had problems
with it. He feels it is dangerous as proposed, and the previous language is
reasonable.
11 -23 -87 -5-
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka
to table the Resolution Amending Article VII of the Advisory Commission Bylaws
and to send it back to the Park and Recreation Commission requesting more
appropriate language. The City Manager said this will also be reviewed with the
City Attorney.
Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the motion passed unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
The City Manager said a hearing on a Resolution of Intent to Organize Collection
of Refuse within the City of Brooklyn Center is scheduled for this evening. He
pointed out that a number of communities are passing resolutions similar to
this. He said the resolution would require the City to look at recycling goals
during the next 90 days, and it may require changes in the way refuse is handled
in the City at this time. The City Manager said there are three alternatives:
have the existing haulers organize their collection process; bid out the
collection to one contractor; or hire our own personnel. He said the latter
option is the least attractive, and the bidding process has some disadvantages,
especially because it limits competition; the preferred choice is to negotiate
with the existing haulers. He said the best of all worlds would be to keep
costs close to what they are now. The City Manager said the cities of Brooklyn
Park, Crystal, and New Hope are interested in participating in a joint powers
agreement with Brooklyn Center and the existing haulers. Staff recommends this
alternative.
Mayor Nyquist asked if the City Manager thinks municipalities could achieve
their goals at the estimated cost. The City Manager said this is an estimate
and pointed out the City of Champlin is providing service for less than
proposed. He proceeded to review the costs involved.
Councilmember Theis asked if under any of the proposals the residents would have
a choice of haulers. The City Manager said they would not. He added a large
percentage of waste is from yards and recyclables, and it would take separate
vehicles to collect the various types of waste. He said it would not be a good
idea to have three different haulers a week coming to a residence in addition to
having a variety of vehicles coming up and down the streets all week servicing
other residences. Councilmember Theis expressed concern over the costs and said
he would like to see them regulated if possible. The City Manager said some
cities are using one contractor and said this is fine if you do get a good
contractor; however, there can be problems associated with this also. He
pointed out because a contract would be negotiated with the haulers and a
contractual relationship is established between the City and the consortium of
haulers, the quality of service can be controlled through the contract.
Councilmember Theis asked about the billing process for refuse service, and the
City Manager said some cities do the billing and others have the contractors do
it. He noted there is better control over the service if the City bills the
users, but then the City receives all the complaints. Councilmember Theis
pointed out if the City does not get involved in service, the homeowner would
have no one to go to if there is a problem with the contractor. The City
Manager said ultimately a resident would complain to the City because of the
contract with the haulers. His point was if your name is on the bill, you would
11 -23 -87 -6-
receive the first complaint. He added the City does license haulers and inspect
their vehicles; the City could revoke licenses if standards are not met.
Mayor Nyquist asked if apartments would be covered by this process, and the City
Sanitarian said only single family homes and duplexes would be included. The
City Manager noted the landfills are being filled at an alarming rate and there
are things being put in that could be recycled. He said the first step of the
process is to remove the items that do not need to g o to the landfill. He added
there is no question that costs will increase in the long erm. The City
y
Manager said he believes the City should seriously consider joining with other
cities and feels there are enough haulers to get a good balance for good
service.
Councilmember Hawes cited a company in Hopkins that provides garbage containers
to its customers, and he wondered if the City would require each hauler to
provide such containers. The City Sanitarian said it would probably be up to
the individual hauler. The City Manager said this would not be included in the
contract. Councilmember Hawes asked if the City of Hopkins still allows
residents to push leaves into the street for a sweeper to collect, and the City
Manager said he was not sure, but this is not a very efficient way to collect
leaves.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on a
Resolution of Intent to Organize Collection of Refuse within the City of
Brooklyn Center. He recognized Tom Hagel who said he supports the resolution
and asked the City of Brooklyn Center to look at supporting the container
deposit bill in the legislature. He proceeded to review the benefits of doing
so and said he feels that such a bill would reduce litter and encourage
recycling. He said a container deposit bill is not the total answer, but it is
a good start. Mr. Hagel encouraged the City Council to support this bill.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if there was anyone else present who wished to speak at
the public hearing. No one requested to speak and he entertained a motion to
close the public hearing.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka
to close the public hearing on a Resolution of Intent to Organize Collection of
Refuse within the City of Brooklyn Center. The motion passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -223
Member Gene Lhotka introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO IMPLEMENT A COOPERATIVE REFUSE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION
SYSTEM IN THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Bill Hawes.
Councilmember Theis asked what the next step would be if the resolution passes.
The City Manager said, with approval of the City Council, staff will convene a
meeting with the haulers serving Brooklyn Center and explore a Joint Powers
Agreement with Brooklyn Park, Crystal, and New Hope. Then staff will return to
11 -23 -87 -7-
the City Council with a joint powers agreement outlining the specifics of the
program at that time. If the City is unable to prepare such an agreement, other
alternatives will be explored. It was the consensus of the Council that staff
be directed to pursue a joint powers agreement with other interested cities and
try to negotiate a contract with the haulers organized as a consortium.
Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the motion passed unanimously.
HEARING ON REVENUE SHARING FUNDS
The City Manager said a public hearing is scheduled regarding revenue sharing
funds. He said there is a residue of money from revenue sharin g and staff is
requesting his money be appropriated g riated to the proper Y rr r r rer zccounts.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on revenue
sharing funds and inquired if there was anyone present who wished to speak at
the public hearing. No one requested to speak and he entertained a motion to
close the public hearing.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
close the public hearing on revenue sharing funds. The motion passed
unanimously.
Y
Councilmember Theis asked if there will be an increase in the appropriation to
the general fund as a result of this. The Director of Finance said the money
will be transferred to the contingency fund in the unallocated unit, but it will
be appropriated for specific items.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -224
Member Rich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1988 GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR THE TRANSFER OF REVENUE
SHARING FUNDS
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Gene Lhotka, and the motion passed unanimously.
ORDINANCES
The City Manager presented An Ordinance Amending Chapter 25 Changing the Name of
57th Avenue
North
between Lyndale Avenue North and T.H. No. 100 and County State
Aid Highway No. 10 between T.H. No. 100 and the West Corporate Limit to Bass
Lake Road. He said this ordinance was first read on October 26, 1987, published
in the City's official newspaper on November 5, 1987, and is offered this
evening for a second reading. He said notices of this hearing have been sent to
property owners and residents of property abutting this route.
The Director of Public Works presented an overview of the request initiated by
two property owners on the central portion of the route who requested changing
the name of the roadway to Bass Lake Road. He said the first reading approved
the renaming of the entire roadway starting at 57th and Lyndale Avenues North
and proceeding to the western corporate limits, renaming all of this as Bass
Lake Road. He said following the first reading, the engineering department sent
notices to the property owners of record, and in the case of absentee owners, to
11 -23 -87 -8-
I
the residents at the addresses along this route. A return card was enclosed for
the residents inquiring as to their preference on this issue. The Director of
Public Works proceeded to review a summary of the responses received.
Councilmember Theis asked if this proposal were approved, how the changeover
would take place. The Director of Public Works said the process, as discussed
with the postmaster, would be to have the City notify the post office of any
changes made. Then the property owners would receive notices from the post
office requesting the residents to make the change in their address during the
next six months. All business accounts, personal correspondence, and so on,
would have to be changed. After the initial six month period, for one
additional year, anyone who submits a change of address notice that says they
are in the process of changing their address could have service continued at the
old address for that additional year. Following this entire 18 month period,
all property owners would be expected to change their addresses to the new ones.
The Director of Public Works pointed out all mail carriers have been instructed
that if they are familiar with an address and the intent is obvious, they are
required to deliver the mail.
The City Manager said he received tw
Y g o phone calls regarding this. A concern is
that it would be a burden to change all addresses, especially if someone is on a
number of mailing lists.
Councilmember Scott said she received four phone calls from people living west
of Brooklyn Boulevard and four calls from people living east of T.H. 100. She
said all were strongly opposed to any change, especially if only two businesses
are the ones who want the change made. Included in the problems associated with
the name change would be having to change all mailing address information. An
additional problem is associated with service people trying to find the location
of a property. Councilmember Scott said she objects to asking residents to
change their addresses to oblige two businesses. Mayor Nyquist pointed out the
two businesses are only asking for addresses. Councilmember Lhotka asked what
the official names of the sections of this roadway are. The Director of Public
Works proceeded to review the variety of names used along this roadway,
particularly between T.H. 100 and Brooklyn Boulevard. The Director of Planning
and Inspection said the property addresses used by the City for issuing permits
include the following: east of T.H. 100 to Lyndale Avenue North is known as
57th Avenue North; between T.H. 100 and Brooklyn Boulevard is known as County
Road 10; and west of Brooklyn Boulevard to the City's corporate limits is known
as 58th Avenue North. Councilmember Scott asked how many businesses are located
between T.H. 100 and Brooklyn Boulevard, and the Director of Public Works said
approximately seven. The Director of Public Works said in the short term there
would be a good deal of confusion over the name change if approved, but the City
should make a decision based on the long -term affect.
Councilmember Scott said the whole problem is the area contingent to Brookdale
and perhaps the City needs to have one address for this area. The City Manager
asked the Director of Public Works if the post office would certify both the
existing addresses plus the addition of Bass Lake Road. The Director of Public
Works said once the City Council takes action, the post office would go along
with only one official name.

Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on An
Ordinance Amending Chapter 25 Changing the Name of 57th Avenue North between
Lyndale Avenue North and T.H. No. 100 and County State Aid Highway No. 10
between T.H. No. 100 and the West Corporate Limit to Bass Lake Road. He
recognized Ms. Barbara Sexton, 3824 58th Avenue North, Brooklyn Center, who said
she is very opposed to changing her address. She pointed out that the Brooklyn
Historical Society would also have a change of address and it would take a long
time to get all addresses changed.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Ms. Sharon Baker, 806 57th Avenue North, Brooklyn
Center, who said she lives on the easterly portion of this roadway and strongly
opposes any change. She said she has lived here for 18 years and there has
never been a problem receiving mail or having problems with service people
finding her home. She said changing addresses would be an expense and it is not
fair for the residents to make a change to please a few businesses. Ms. Baker
asked the Council to leave the rest of the residents alone and take care of the
businesses separately.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Ms. Bernice Vaillancourt, 1000 57th Avenue North,
Brooklyn Center, who said she wants to keep her address. She pointed out there
are already streets in Brooklyn Center with two different addresses, including
69/70th Avenue North and 65/66th Avenue North. She asked the Council to please
leave the road as it is.
Mayor Nyquist inquired if there was anyone else present who wished to speak at
the public hearing. No one requested to speak and he entertained a motion to
close the public hearing.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka
to close the public hearing on An Ordinance Amending Chapter 25 Changing the
Name of 57th Avenue North between Lyndale Avenue North and T.H. No. 100 and
County State Aid Highway No. 10 between T.H. No. 100 and the West Corporate
Limit to Bass Lake Road. The motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Scott said she would like to deny the ordinance change. She
recommends the City Council get together with the businesses to determine what
they would like to name the section between T.H. No. 100 and Brooklyn Boulevard.
She feels Bass Lake Road is not the proper designation. The City Manager said
the Council may wish to table the ordinance if another change is going to be
considered; this would cut down on the cost of publishing notices of an
ordinance change in the newspaper.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka
to deny the ordinance and leave the roadway as it is.
Councilmember Theis said he feels there is some confusion in the center section
and also agrees with the residents' concerns. He said there is some merit in
changing the name of the center section.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
table An Ordinance Amending Chapter 25 Changing the Name of 57th Avenue North
between Lyndale Avenue North and T.H. No. 100 and County State Aid Highway No.

same: Gene Lhotka and Celia Scott, whereupon said motion passed.
The City Manager said he will check with businesses between T.H. 100 and

this item will be back on the agenda in about one month.

PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 87026 SUBMITTED BY THOMPSON LUMBER
REQUESTING A SITE AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL TO RELOCATE A METAL BUTLER
BUILDING FROM ITS MINNEAPOLIS LOCATION TO THE LUMBER YARD AT 4810 NORTH LILAC
DRIVE (OLD FEDERAL LUMBER SITE)
The City Manager presented Planning Commission Application No. 87026 submitted
by Thompson Lumber. The Director of Planning and Inspection referred the City
Council to pages one and two of the November 12, 1987, Planning Commission
minutes and the information sheet attached with the minutes regarding Planning
Commission Application No. 87026. He proceeded to review the application and
said the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application subject to
seven conditions. The Director of Planning and Inspection said the seventh
condition can be deleted because the City received the topographical survey
today.
Councilmember Lhotka and the Director of Planning and Inspection proceeded to
discuss the type of siding on the structure. Councilmember Hawes inquired about
the material used for the roof and was responded to by the Director of Planning
and Inspection. Councilmember Hawes said he thought the ordinance did not allow
for outside storage, and the Director of Planning and Inspection said an I -2
zone allows for this except if it abuts residential property. Councilmember
Lhotka asked why the applicants are moving the building, and the Director of
Planning and Inspection said they feel the building is salvageable from their
other lumber yard, and there is space available here. Councilmember Lhotka
asked if the applicants are going to continue using the entire area, and the
Director of Planning and Inspection said they intend to use the entire old
Federal Lumber site for lumber storage. The Council proceeded to review and
discuss the elevations and drawings of the buildings. Councilmember Lhotka and
the Director of Planning and Inspection proceeded to discuss further the
materials used for the siding of the building.
Councilmember Lhotka said he would like the sight lines to be where the product
cannot be seen from public view. The Director of Planning and Inspection
suggested adding this as a condition of the application. Mayor Nyquist noted
there is no hearing required for this application.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis
to approve Planning Commission Application No. 87026 submitted by Thompson

permits,
2. Utility plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer

4. The storage building is to be equipped with an automatic fire
extinguishing system to meet NFPA standards and shall be connected to a
central monitoring device in accordance with Chapter 5 of the City
Ordinances.
5. The applicant shall enter into a restrictive covenant agreement to

determination by the City that the stalls are needed for the proper
functioning of the site. Said agreement to be executed and filed with
the title to the property prior to the issuance of permits.
6. The property owner shall enter into an Easement and Agreement for
Maintenance and Inspection of Utility and Storm Drainage Systems prior
to the issuance of permits.
7. Plan approval authorizes the use of a rough cedar siding exterior
treatment on the east and west walls of the relocated building. If the
metal siding on the north and south walls of the building proves to be
visible to the public, the applicant then shall be required to provide
a rough cedar siding exterior treatment on the north and south walls of
the building.
The motion passed unanimously,
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 87023 SUBMITTED BY JAMES ANDRESCIK
REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM SECTION 35 -400 OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW A
ZERO SETBACK FOR AN ATTACHED GARAGE PRESENTLY BUILT OVER THE SIDE PROPERTY LINE
AND STORM SEWER EASEMENT
AND
PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 87024 SUBMITTED BY JAMES ANDRESCIK
REQUESTING A VARIANCE FROM THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE TO ALLOW A LAND TRANSFER BY
METES AND BOUNDS DIVISION RATHER THAN BY FORMAL PLATTING
The City Manager said these items were recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission at its October 15, 1987, meeting. The City Council opened the public
hearings on these applications at its November 9, 1987, meeting and continued
11 -23 -87 -12-
J w
the hearings to this evening's meeting. The Director of Planning and Inspection
said the applicant had been requested to present a signed copy of an agreement
and a copy of a proposed temporary easement, as well as a letter of credit
naming the City in the letter. The applicant had presented a personal letter of
credit which did not name the City. After reviewing this with the City
Attorney, the Director of Public Works said he recommends tabling these
applications for two weeks so the letter of credit can be put in proper form.
He said he feels this is necessary since there are numerous actions being looked
at by the City and feels it would not have been proper to ask the City Council
to take action this evening. He further requested all items related to these
applications be tabled to the next meeting.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
table to the next City Council meeting Planning Commission Application Nos.
87023 and 87024; a Resolution Approving Agreement for the Relocation of a Storm
Sewer within the Public Utility Easements between Lots 46 and 47, Block 6,
Pearson's Northport Third Addition; and An Ordinance Vacating Portions of the
Public Utility Easements Located on Lots 46 and 47, Block 6, Pearson's Northport
Third Addition. The motion passed unanimously.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
IMPROVEMENTS OF FRANCE AVENUE NORTH FROM SOUTH CITY LIMITS TO 50TH AVENUE NORTH'
LAKEBREEZE AVENUE NORTH FROM T.H. 100 TO AZELIA AVENUE NORTH: 50TH AVENUE NORTH
FROM T.H. 100 TO FRANCE AVENUE NORTH: AND LOGAN AVENUE NORTH FROM 57TH AVENUE
NORTH TO 59TH AVENUE NORTH
The City Manager requested the City Council to review these improvement projects
as potential projects for 1988. Once reviewed and preliminarily approved, staff
will bring back formal requests to the City Council. The Director of Public
Works said these are preliminary proposals, and staff feels there is a need for
improvements which could be constructed in 1988. He noted all projects except
for the Lakebreeze Avenue North one are designated as state aid streets. He
said he will review the projects and obtain City Council input on whether or not
to proceed with these further. If the Council agrees to do so, proposals would
be presented to the Council in late December or early January. At that point,
if the City Council approves the proposals, the next step would be to plan
public hearings. The City would be in a position to take bids in late April and
begin the projects by May 1988. The Director of Public Works said the
encumbered balance of the City's municipal state aid funds is $1,643,000, and
the City is at a point that if the funds are not used future
year allocations
y 1 cations
may be reduced. He pointed out that the Minnesota Department of Transportation
does have an aggressive policy of doing this. He added if the City does not do
any of these projects in 1988, it would start to realize the penalty of a
reduced appropriation in 1989.
The Director of Public Works proceeded to review the proposals, noting all
streets are designated as municipal state aid streets except Lakebreeze Avenue
North which is included because there are problems with the geometric design of
the roadway and there is no curb, gutter, and sidewalks. He said in discussions
with the health club and other property owners in the area, he found support for
installing concrete curb and gutter. He added residents in the area have
requested installation of a sidewalk on Lakebreeze Avenue North from Azelia to
11 -23 -87 -13-
France Avenues North. He proceeded to review the proposal for Logan Avenue
North, noting one reason why the street is in such bad condition is because
there is very poor drainage.
Councilmember Scott asked if there is any way to fix the lake that always forms
at 57th and Humboldt Avenues North. The Director of Public Works reviewed the
location of the storm sewers in the area. He said he had not been aware of the
problem at 57th and Humboldt Avenues North, but would investigate it; he added
the solution to this problem is probably independent of the Logan Avenue North
improvements.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if the area indicated on the map that shows Logan
Avenue North narrowing down actually does so on the roadway. The Director of
Public Works said the width of the road is the same and the map shows the
existing right of way, which may be deceiving. Mayor Nyquist asked if the
highway department has plans for adding an interchange at T.H. 100 and France
Avenue North. The Director of Public Works said there is nothing in the plans
now for this. Fifteen years ago there was, but in the last six years, nothing
has been programmed (programs go beyond the Year 2000).
The Director of Public Works proceeded to show a slide presentation of the areas
in question. Councilmember Theis asked if there is sufficient funding available
for these projects, and the Director of Public Works responded affirmatively.
He said although Lakebreeze Avenue North is not a municipal state aid road, the
majority of the property is assessable and levying special assessments would be
considered. Councilmember Theis asked about the funding of the storm sewer
projects, and the Director of Public Works said most of the work is eligible for
funding from the state's fund. In areas where there are drainage problems, the
intention is to recommend levying special assessments. Councilmember Theis
wondered if money is used in these projects, whether or not there would be money
available for improvements of 69th Avenue North around Palmer Lake. The
Director of Public Works said probably not; however, staff hopes when more
detailed estimates are available they may be lower than expected. He said the
City does not have to use the entire state aid funds that it is eligible for on
a project and could reserve some money in a special account which could be used
for the project on 69th Avenue North.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if these four projects are high priorities, and the
Director of Public Works responded affirmatively. He said they represent
streets in the worst condition in the City. After this, 69th Avenue North is
the next priority. He noted the City has hired an engineer to do a traffic and
environmental study on 69th Avenue North and does not think this project could
be started until 1989. However, the City should begin acquisition of right of
way on 69th Avenue North in 1988.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -225
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROJECTS AND ORDERING PREPARATION OF REPORTS ON LOGAN
AVENUE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1988 -04, FRANCE AVENUE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO.
1988 -05, LAKEBREEZE AVENUE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1988 -06, AND 50TH AVENUE
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1988 -07
11 -23 -87 -14-
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Bill Hawes, and the motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Theis said he would like to see a report with the costs for
improvement of the area between T.H. 100 and the Soo Line Railroad on France
Avenue North listed separately. Councilmember Hawes asked if the curb and
gutter improvements include driveway aprons, and the Director of Public Works
responded affirmatively.
Upon vote being taken on the foregoing resolution, the motion passed
unanimously.
APPROVAL OF 1988 CITY COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE
The City Manager presented the 1988 City Council meeting schedule and pointed
out the adjustments made for the September meetings because of the budget review
process.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes
to approve the 1988 City Council meeting schedule as presented. The motion
passed unanimously.
Mayor Nyquist referred to a letter he received from the City of Crystal
regarding organized collection and asked if the City wants to respond to this.
No action was taken by the City Council regarding this.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Authorizing Participation in the Logis
Group Health Plans. He said everyone of the instrumentalities previously with
Hennepin County joined the group, and the City's costs will not change.
Councilmember Theis asked how much the employees have been involved in this
process, and the City Manager said the employees and union representatives have
been kept informed during the process.
RESOLUTION N0. 87 -226
Member Celia Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE LOGIS GROUP HEALTH PLANS
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Rich Theis, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager presented a Resolution Appropriating Funds for Items Relating
to the Redesignation of the Social Hall as Constitution Hall. The Director of
Public Works said he met with Bill Lakotas, chairman of the Brooklyn Center
Constitution Committee, and agreement has been reached on a proposal for an
emblem for Constitution Hall. The emblem will be smaller than originally
proposed because of cost considerations. The Director of Public Works said the
preliminary budget for this was $8,915 and bids exceeded $14,000. There were
efforts to reach a solution to this, and a different supplier and emblem have
been obtained for a total cost $7,570. The Director of Public Works said the
Constitution Committee has agreed to reimbursing the City for this cost. It
will be established as a City expenditure to be reimbursed by the Constitution
Committee. Councilmember Theis said he cannot relate to the cost for the emblem
11 -23 -87 -15-
and also asked for a further description of the signs over the entry way doors
to the hall. The Director of Public Works proceeded to describe them.
RESOLUTION NO. 87 -227
Member Rich Theis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR ITEMS RELATING TO THE REDESIGNATION OF THE
SOCIAL HALL AS CONSTITUTION HALL
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
member Gene Lhotka, and the motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Nyquist said a few years ago the police department did a good job of
solving the Peterson murder. He said he was incensed when the City was sued,
and really incensed when he found out the City had to pay $25,000. He asked
what control the City has over these types of incidents, what effect there is
on
insurance premiums, and he asked if the City should get out of the liquor
business. The City Manager proceeded to review the insurance situation. The
Director of Finance said he did not think the insurance premiums will be
affected. The City Manager pointed out this is becoming a litigious society and
the liquor store is one minor aspect of the City's endeavors.
Mayor Nyquist asked if an executive session will be needed to discuss the law
suit filed by residents who live in the area of the Bill Kelly House and the
City Manager said this may be necessary at some point. The City Attorney will
review the suit and make a recommendation on whether an executive session is
necessary. Mayor Nyquist said he hopes the City does not spend a lot of time
and money defending this.
ADJOURNMENT
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes
to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The Brooklyn Center
City Council adjourned at 10:46 p.m.

Dear Dean:
It is my intention not to seek a renewal to my appointment to the Human
Services Advisory Commission of Northwest Hennepin County. These four
years of serving in this capacity have been enjoyable: it also has been
an educational experience. Please extend my thanks to the City Council
for placing their confidence in me.
I plan to complete the year of 1987 but should a replacement be found
sooner than January, that would be ideal as committee assignments for 1988
are already being made.
Sincerely,

Dear Jerry,
While I am not totally sure of all the background information,
apparently we have a citizen of Brooklyn Center who has distinguished
herself and is receiving an award on the 11th of December. Unfor-
tunately, I just received the letter and we will not be meeting as a

be able to put together some kind of a Resolution and have it
strictly Mayor's Commendation or by the Council and have the Council
ratify it on the 14th.
I am planning to attend pursuant to the attached notification,

Dear Mayor Nyquist:
I am pleased to let you know that Mary Jo Copeland of 6924 Halifax Avenue

The Awards, initiated by the Foundation Directors in 1985, provide a $5,000
cash award to the individual recipient. The purpose of the awards is to
recognize those individuals throughout the State of Minnesota who are making
significant contributions in the human services by directly assisting others
to become productive and participating members of the communities in which
they reside. The goal of the program is to reward those ersons who
minimu P w'
m •f public recognition and minimum financial remuneration, are doing
the difficult jobs and tasks.
Ms. Copeland was selected for her work as the founder and director of
Sharing and Caring Hands Shelter for the poor and homeless.
To celebrate this occasion, we are inviting you to attend an Awards ceremony
on Friday, December 11, 1987. The ceremony will be held in the Nicollet
Ballroom Al and A2 of the Hyatt y Regency Hotel (13th Street and Nicollet
Avenue in Minneapolis) at 2 :00 p.m., followed by refreshments. We would be
pleased if you are able to be there and make a few remarks.
We would appreciate your calling our office on or before D
us know if December 4th
you are able to attend. We will be sending s
a to let
the media statewide and in your community for use on December lltheaplease
hold any other notification to the press until that time.

Attached is a resolution accepting the work performed under Contract 1986 -R,
the Earle Brown Farm Streetscape, Improvement Project No. 1986 -21, Phase III
Street Lighting.
Westwood Planning and Engineering Company has recommended that the City accept
the work and approve final payment. Westwood has noted that the underrun is
due to an overestimation of quantities and one change in the contract. This
project was modified by Supplemental Agreement No. 1 which reduced the size
of conduit to better fit into the base of the poles furnished by the contractor.
The difference is the result of over reduced final q uantities. The entire
savings results from the use of existing handholes and conduit installed for the
Shingle Creek Parkway traffic signals at Summit and John Martin Drive. The
attached summary prepared by Westwood Planning and Engineering Company provides
a detailed explanation of the quantity changes.
It is therefore recommended that City Council adopt the attached resolution.

RE: Acceptance of Street lighting Project 41986 -21, Contract #1986R
Dear Mr. Spurrier:
All work related to the above referenced project has been completed and the
system is operational. This work has been tested and reviewed for compliance
with City Standards and no differences were found.
We recommend that the City of Brooklyn Center accept these improvements as part
of the City system
The final contract ri e
p c is $4371.42 less than the funds encumbered due to our
ability to use existing conduits and handholes that were in place at the time of
construction.
Westwood has completed the final payment documentation for the contractor.
However, o ever, we have not completed the final billing to the City for consultant
services during the construction phase. This will be completed and transmited
to you next week.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call.

Water Tower No. 1 Reconditioning
Attached is a resolution accepting the work performed under Contract 1987 -B,
the Water Tower No. 1 reconditioning project. The contract was completed with no
change in the contract cost.
This contract completes the reconditioning of all three of the City's
water towers. The paint system on all three water towers gives them a service
life of 15 to 20 years.
The work was more difficult because the contractor had to sandblast near a new
car lot and near residential development. As a result there were several
complaints related to sand damage. The contractor has satisfactorily settled
all known claims except one, which was submitted to the contractor's insurance
company.
AEC, the consulting engineer on the project, has approved the work and
recommends final payment.
It is therefore recommended that City Council adopt the attached resolution.

RE: Meeting With John Gearin - 9/14/87 at East Fire Station
On September 14, 1987 Mike Schlosser and I met with John Gearin at the East Fire
Station to review several items, i.e.:
Item 1 - Change in color of trim paint at East Fire Station
The specifications required that the trim paint match the existing color on
the pylon sign. JMG had fairly closely matched the color on one side of the
pylon sign. However, Ron Bowman has seriously objected to this color and has
designated a different color which he selected. JMG requested $300.00
additional payment to make this change. I agreed to approve that additional
payment.
Item 2 - Painting The Pylon SiZn at East Fire Station
The specifications provided that the pylon sign not be painted. Because
of the color change noted in Item 1, JMG offered to paint the pylon sign to
match the trim color at a cost of $125.00. I approved this.
Item 3 - Painting Metal on Roof of East Fire Station
John stated that the specifications do not require that the roof metals
be painted and requested additional payment of $200.00 for this work. I
agreed that this is a fair price if the specifications do not already
require that this could be done. /
Note See attached letter from Al Mjorud of CMA, dated 9/14/87 which
states that this work is required by the specifications. Accordingly, no rtvi
extra payment will be made for this item.
Item 4 - Tuckpointing Brickwork at Corners of West Fire Station
r
JMG offered to do this work for $160.00. I requested that Mike
Schlosser look at it and give JMG his decision on whether or not the work �y
should be done at that price.

RE: Refurbishing Work for
East Fire Station, West Fire Station and Liquor Store
Dear Mr. Knapp:
Based on my conversation with John Gearin of JMG Contracting and an on -site
job observation to both fire stations this day, Carlson Mjorud Architecture Ltd.
recommends final payment on both projects, since both projects appear to be
complete. There is a new scratch on the east door of the East Fire Station,
the origin of which is unknown.
Before final payment is made, the Contractor is required to submit a list of
materials, including manufacturer's name, trade name and data for each prod-
uct. This includes all substitutions made during the process. We are not
aware that the Contractor has delivered to the City of Brooklyn Center an
extra stock of paint equalling 5% of each color used for these two projects.
The extra stock should be delivered in tightly sealed, clearly labeled con-
tainers.
Any guarantee that you have contracted with JMG Contracting should begin this
day, November 11, 1987.
The accompanying invoice outlines the extra work or reinspections required for
corrective work after your directive to JMG Contracting stating this time would
be back - charged to the JMG account.
This concludes our work on these two projects, unless otherwise authorized by
your office.

RE: Improvements at Police Department, at Community Center, and at
City Garage
I. Police Department Improvements - Phase III
(a) The 1987 budget for the Government Buildings Division includes the
following line item:
Redecorate Police Department $ 4,700.
This appropriation was intended to cover the costs for repainting the
central hallway in the Police Department and for minor renovation of the
"booking counter" area. During 1987 the City requested proposals for this
work and received only one proposal - which was substantially higher than the
budgeted estimate. Since it had become apparent that additional work would
be needed within the Police Department in 1988 and that it would be
advantageous to do all phases of that work at the same time, no work was
completed during 1987. However, the revised estimate for the work
proposed for 1987 (including a 15% contingency) is $6,900.
Chief Lindsay requests that the following additional work also be
accomplished so as to satisfy new needs which have been identified:
1. Remodel fingerprint counter including recessed
counter area for Breath- A -Lyzer machine $ 2,375.
2. Relocate radio transmitters, including electrical >
outlets >
3. Repaint and carpet squad room > $20,000.
4. Repaint locker rooms >
5. Install new cubicle cabinet >
Based on the architect's evaluation, the total cost of the requested
additional improvements (not including architectural and engineering fees)
is estimated as follows:
`" !9A64ll Off -N
PP .. -ate
Improvements at Police Station
Page two
Remodel squad room, locker rooms, and
service areas (i.e. - items 2,3,4, and 5) ...............$20,000.
Fingerprint counter (item 1) ........................ 2.375.
SUBTOTAL 22,375.
plus 15% contingency 3,355.
TOTAL $25,730.
(b) The 1988 budget for the Government Buildings Division includes the
following line item:
Remodel Investigator's Area, P.D. $10,383.
Work contemplated under this appropriation includes repainting and
recarpeting, installation of a built -in counter and work station, and other
minor remodeling in the investigator's section of the Police Department.
The architect's current estimate for this work (not including architectural
and engineering fees) is as follows:
Basic cost estimate . ............................... $ 8,500.
plus 15% contingency . ............................... 1,275.
TOTAL $ 9,775.
(c) In addition, the Minnesota Department of Corrections conducted a survey of
the Brooklyn Center Police Department Holding Facility (i.e. - jail area)
and submitted their report and recommendations for improvements (see
attached report dated July 8, 1987).
The architect has estimated that the costs for achieving compliance with
these recommendations (not including architectural and engineering fees) is
as follows:
Basic cost estimate .. ............................... $14,850.
Video Security System improvements .................. 1,295.
plus 15% contingency ............................ 2,420.
TOTAL $18,565.
Summary of Proposed Improvements In Police Department
Based on conferences with you and Chief Lindsay, I recommend that all work
outlined above be incorporated into a single project. Following is a summary
cost estimate for all work relating to this currently - proposed project:
Originally proposed 1987 project, i.e. - repaint
central hallway and booking counter area ................ $ 6,900.
Additional items:
a. remodeling squad room, locker room, corridor and
service areas and related improvements .............. $25,730.
b. remodel investigation's area ........................ 9,775.
C. remodel jail area, 18,565.
d. architectural and engineering fees (proposal from CMA) 7,400.
TOTAL $68,370.
Improvements at Police Station
Page three
Since the 1987 and 1988 appropriations for improvements to the Police
P
Department are not adequate to cover this cost, it is recommended that the
additional funds needed be appropriated from the Capital Projects Fund.
Alternate Project
In the event the City Council prefers to defer remodeling of the Squad Room
and Locker Rooms until 1989 or later, while proceeding with the other
improvements, the total cost for work in the Police Department would be
reduced by $20,000, so that the revised cost estimate would be:
a. remodeling corridor and booking counter area........ $ 6,900.
remodel fingerprint counter ($2,375. plus 15%
contingency) .... 2,730.
b. remodel investigation area .......................... 9,775.
C. remodel jail area .... ............................... 18,565.
d, architectural /and engineering fees (reduced because
of reduced project) .. ............................... 6,500.
TOTAL $44,470.
II. Community Center Improvements
The 1988 budget for the Community Center Division incl-rles the following line
items:
1. Tuckpoint /Replace Bricks ........................ $34,500.
2. Paint, Insulate and Replace Louvers in Penthouse 37,850.
TOTAL $72,350.
Item 1 includes replacement of approximately 2,500 bricks, tuckpointing the
remaining brick, caulking of joints, windows and miscellaneous openings, high
pressure washing of all brick surfaces and application of a clear sealer.
Item 2 includes repair and restoration of the interior areas of the penthouses,
including (a) the metal roof deck which shows weather corrosion; (b) work on the
walls - to reduce damage to walls caused by moisture (freeze /thaw) damage; and (c)
installation of new louvers to allow for greater air flow, thereby improving the
efficiency and performance of the HVAC system.
Following is a summary of the architect's current cost estimate for this Project:
Tuckpointing, brick replacement and brick
sealing ........ ............................... $28,620.
Basic improvements to penthouses ............... 28,100.
"Code corrections" to penthouses ............... 2,400.
Note: Based on my discussion with our Building
Inspector, I recommend sealing the walls with a block
filler and 2 coats of vapor resistant paint. We do
not believe that the additional $7,000 for insulating
the penthouse walls would be cost effective.
plus 15% contingency .............................. 8,868.
plus architectural and engineering fees ........... 9,000.
TOTAL $76,988.
Improvements at Police Station
Page four
Since this estimated total includes a 15% contingency, I recommend that no
additional appropriation be made until and unless bids received indicate
the need to do so.
III. Reroofing and Insulation of City Garage
The 1988 budget request included the following item:
Reroof /Insulate City Garage $140,250.00
Funding for this item was not included in the 1988 operating budget. However,
that budget noted that this project is "to be considered in the Capital Projects
Fund Budget."
The roof on this 17 year old building has needed repairs several times during
the past 5 years. While a major repair could extend the life of this roof
by another 5 to 10 years, it is also noted that this roof has minimal
insulation. In a report (copy attached) by consulting engineers OL &B, it is
estimated that the payback period for installation of insulation would be
5.2 years (this does not reflect the cost of reroofing the building, but only
the difference in cost between re- roofing with or without insulation).
Accordingly, it is recommended that the existing roofing be removed and
replaced, with the addition of insulation.
Following is a summary of the architect's current cost estimate for this project
Basic cost estimate for a "flat" roof ............. $110,600.
Additional costs for adding tapered (or terraced)
foam insulation so as to provide positive drainage.. 30,000.
Plus 15% contingency . ............................... 32,200.
Plus architectural and engineering fees 8.420.
TOTAL $181,220.
If the City Council prefers to stay with a "flat roof" design, the revised cost
estimate is as follows:
Basic cost for flat roof ............................. $110,600.
Plus 15% contingency .. ............................... 16,600.
Plus architectural and engineering fees .............. 8.420.
TOTAL $135,620.
IV. Proposal for Architectural Services
Attached is a proposal from Carlson Mjorud Associates (CMA) to provide
architectural services for the above noted projects. CMA is the firm which
provided architectural services for the Community Center remodeling projects
in 1987. It is my opinion that the services which they provided were
excellent in each of the following areas:
Improvements at Police Station
Page Five
Total understanding of the technical requirements of the project,
including specific Building Code requirements relating to the work in
question;
Communication with City staff throughout the development and completion of
the project; and
Contract administration, including project supervision, handling of
documents, and follow -up in all areas.
Accordingly, I recommend that the City Council approve this proposal from CMA.
A resolution establishing the projects, making the needed appropriations, and
accepting the proposal for architectural and engineering services is provided for
consideration by the City Council.
The resolution as submitted includes the entire remodeling project for the Police
Department and the "tapered roof" treatment for the City Garage project. Attached
to the resolution are two possible amendments for consideration by the Council. The
first amendment would delete the Squad Room and Locker Room improvements from the
Police Department project. The second amendment would direct the use of a flat roof
in lieu of the tapered roof on the City Garage.

RE: Statement of Probable Construction Cost
Dear Mr. Knapp:
Here are the cost estimates that you requested as broken down into the various.
projects needed for identification by the City. These projects also include the
work of our consulting engineers: Oftedal Locke & Broadston for Mechanical and
Electrical work and Rudin Structures for the Structural Engineering required.
Even though the very best effort has been made in putting together these cost
estimates, Carlson Mjorud Architecture Ltd. would recommend to the City of
Brooklyn Center to include a 15% contingency for each of the projects.
Note the roofing estimate had to be re- figured since the accepted alternate
increased the size of the building as originally calculated.
We trust this revised Statement of Probable Construction Costs meets the needs
of the City of Brooklyn Center. Please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Roofing Alternate No. 1
Sy Knapp and Al Mjorud (Architect) conducted a visual
inspection of the City Garage roof to discover ponded
water at several locations. Although the lower chord
of the truss appeared to be straight, the upper chord
apparently was constructed with a slight chamber.
This accounts for the water running toward to roof
edge. Unfortunately, the roof drains are located at
the high point near the center of the roof.
Carlson Mjorud Architecture Ltd. recommends the City
consider adding tapered foam insulation to correct
the problem. This will then allow the roof water to
run toward the drain.
Tapered foam insulation:
$0.70 /square foot x 27,585 square feet = 19,310.
Additional curb height, roof edge, metal flashing, etc.
10,690.
$ 30,000.00
Roofing Alternate No. 2
If the structural engineer determines the existing
structure cannot support the additional ballast (gravel)
and insulation load, then the roofing must either
become an adhered EPDM or modified bitumen system.
The additional cost for a modified bitumen is
offered: $0.50 /square foot x 27,585 square feet = $ 13,792.50
*Note: On November 30, 1987, architect
Al Mjorud called to advise that the
structural engineer has determined that
the roof structure is adequate to support
(a) a "Built -Up" roof; (b) a modified bitumen
roof; or (c) an adhered EPDM roof. It is not
capable of supporting a ballasted EPDM roof,
Accordingly he recommends the use of a
"Bu i 1 t' Up" roof.

Rochelle Kohagen
Brooklyn Center Police Department
6301 Shingle Creek Pkwy
Brooklyn Center, MN 55430
Dear Ms. Kohagen:
Based on my, on -site review of the Brooklyn Center Police Department holding
facility on Thursday, June 25, 1987, I offer the following comments for
your consideration:
1. Currently, the holding facility consists of three secure detention
room cell areas which I will
/ refer to as cell No . i cell No. 2 and
cell No. 3. Cells No. 1 and no. 2 area approximately 72 square feet in
PP Y q
size exclusive of the toilet /lavatory areas directly accessible from
such cells /detention rooms. Cell No. 3 is approximately 90 square feet
in size exclusive of the toilet /lavatory area directly accessible from
same.
Simply stated, each of the three detention room /cells is oversized when
one considers current DOC square footage requirements.
2. It was noted that cell No. 3, the largest cell, is equipped with a
flush_ floor drain and is the cell /detention room area that normally
would be utilized for detention of an offender under the influence of
alcohol and /or drugs. Cell No. 3's concrete slab for sleeping purposes
is equipped with a side -bar frame that may be utilized in conjunction
with restraint equipment for restraint purposes. This area was
referred to during our conversation as the "drunk tank ".
3. A shower area is accessible from a corridor adjacent to the three
detention room /cells. The shower area appeared to be in good
condition. It was noted, however, that no prisoner should be showered
without direct supervision. The vision panel in the door of the shower
should be equipped with a means of insuring the privacy of offenders
from staff and /or prisoners of the opposite sex while they are
showering.
Direct staff supervision is believed necessary and appropriate due to
the potential for suicide that may exist with respect to the existing
curtain rod. It was unclear to me how much weight such curtain rod
would sustain if an offender attempted to hang themselves from same.

Rochelle Kohagen
Page Two July 8, 1987
4. Cells No. 1 and 2 are essentially the same with respect to equipment
and furnishings. Both cells are equipped with security hollow metal
doors with vision panels and food passes. The size of the food pass
opening had been reduced to approximately 1/2 of the original opening
by welding of an angle iron on the inside of the door. Both cells were
equipped with a concrete slab type bunk, security lighting fixture and
a reflector /mirror to minimize the blind spots existent from the
exterior of the cell door. Both cells were also equipped with a
toilet /lavatory area equipped with a combination toilet /lavatory
fixture of a security type.
Cells No. 1 and 2 are not equipped with floor drains. Cells No. 1 and
2 are equipped with audio - monitoring and smoke /heat detection equipment
which are monitored at the facility's control /dispatch station.
It was noted on the day of my visit that the hot water to combination
toilet /lavatory fixtures was inoperable. It was unclear as to whether
or not the hot water was turned off for repair purposes or whether hot
water was provided to toilet /lavatory fixtures in the cell /detention
room areas.
5. The equipment and furnishings of cell No. 3 were consistent with those
noted for cell No. 1 and 2 with the exception of the flush floor drain
and the frame for restraint purposes mentioned earlier.
6. The toilet areas accessible from cell /detention rooms were equipped
with doors. As a matter of fact the layout of cell No. 1 lends itself
to potential security problems if an offender were to attempt to tie
off the cell /detention room door with clothing or linen to the
toilet /lavatory area door.
7. All three detention room /cell areas are of interior construction an are
without access to natural light.
8. The cell /detention room areas, booking area, interview /lineup area and
corridor spaces adiacent to same are all climate controlled.
9. The dispatcher /jailer has no direct visual surveillance of any areas
considered a part of the holding facility as noted under No. 8 above.
10. The interview/lineup oom is approximately 86 square feet. No
P q
toilet /lavatory fixture is directly accessible from this room or
included in this room.
Rochelle Kohageci
Page Three July 8, 1987
11. There are two entrances normally used by law enforcement personnel
bringing prisoners in for booking and /or detention purposes. One of
these is a door leading to the facility's exterior and the other is a
vehicle /sallyport garage. A person gaining access to the facility from
either of these may be monitored by closed circuit TV from the
dispatcher /jailer station.
The arresting officer must move an offender a considerable distance
from either of these entrances to the holding area and traffic passed
areas that should not normally be accessible from a corridor used for
movement of prisoner purposes.
12. A closed circuit TV is used by the dispatcher /jailer to monitor the
booking area and corridor, space adjacent to the interview/ lineup room
and the, door leading to the three cell /detention room corridor. The
closed circuit TV used for monitoring purposes of the holding area has
limited utility. The closed circuit TV provides no visual surveillance
of cells No. 1 -3 or persons detained within those cells.
13. The lineup /viewing window between the interview /lineup room and the
corridor adjacent to cells 1 -3 is equipped with a security screen on
the interior side of the interview /lineup room.
14. The interview /lineup room is not normally used for prisoner purposes
without direct staff supervision.
15. The dispatcher /jailers normally book and are responsible for the
supervision and care of persons detained in cells 1 -3.
16. On the day of my visit all equipment appeared to be in proper working
order.
17. I was advised that the normal length of confinement in the Brooklyn
Center Police Department holding facility is less than eight hours.
However, on occasion persons are held for longer periods of time and in
rare instances may be held over a weekend.
18. I was advised that the number of bookings /persons held and processed is
on the increase. Department of Corrections data for 1985 indicates 628
bookings. Data for 1986 indicates 623 bookings. Data for the first
six months of 1987 will be summarized and available to DOC within the
next two weeks for comparative purposes.
The on -site review I conducted was at your request for the purpose of
determining whether or not an increase in the facility's capacity and /or
length of confinement could be achieved through remodeling of existent
space or expansion into a portion of the existing squad room.
Rochelle Kohagen
Page Four July 8, 1987
Based on the above comments, the configuration of the holding facility
inclusive of cells, the booking area, the shower area, the interview /lineup
room and corridors adjacent to same, I recommend against expansion into the
squad room.
Secondly, I cannot approve of increased detention time given the existing
configuration of the facility and the lack of natural light and an exterior
orientation to cells No. 1 -3. - I recommend that no offender be detained for
periods of time in excess of 12 hours in the facility.
On the positive side, the facility does lend itself to a possible increase
in capacity. This could be achieved b3. reclassification of the
interview /lineup area for multiple purposes inclusive of administrative
hold capacity. This area then could be utilized for detention purposes of
offenders, after booking and classification, that are considered by the
arresting officer and booking staff person to be of a non - violent /non -risk
classification. With the installation of a toilet and lavatory, which
could be of non - secure materials, and a privacy partition shielding same
from direct visual observation from the exterior side of the
interview /lineup room, such lineup room could be used for administrative
hold purposes for up to 4 -6 offenders for periods of time not in excess of
eight hours.
Separation requirements of males from females and juveniles from adults
would need to be met if such offenders needed to be detained
simultaneously.
One advantage of the administrative hold classification that could be
attached to this area would be the housing of juvenile runaways for periods
of time not to exceed eight hours. Current state law prohibits the
detention /incarceration of such offenders in a cell /detention room.
If this room were to be used for administrative hold purposes of prisoners
I would recommend the installation of a ground fault interrupter on the
duplex receptacle located in such room, re- wiring of the room's light
switch to the exterior side of the room for control by staff, the covering
of the flush floor drain controls with a reasonably secure cabinet and
replacement of the existing non - secure sprinkler head with a secure
sprinkler head of a recessed design. Finally, issues such as replacement
of current light fixtures with security light fixtures and the replacement
of non - secure furnishings with secure furnishings could be discretionary on
the part of local officials.
I would recommend that the door handle and key cylinder on the interior
side of such door be removed and the door be keyed from the exterior side
only if the room was used for such purpose.

As an alternative to modification of the interview /lineup room it is
possible that cell No. 3 could become a group holding area. Modification
of such room would require seating capacity for 4 -6 offenders. I would
also recommend that such seating capacity be installed in conjunction with
a detention type table that could be utilized by persons detained.
In the event modifications are considered with respect to either cell No. 3
or the lineup interview room, such modifications should be considered with
the understanding that such approval to detain persons in a group holding
situation would not be granted for periods of time greater than eight
hours. Additionally, Brooklyn Center staff would be responsible for
appropriate classification and separation of persons detained to insure
legal requirements associated with the separation of males from females and
juveniles from adults as well as requirements to insure the safety of one
prisoner from another.
I trust the comments contained herein will be of assistance to you in
better understanding the Department of Corrections position with respect to
the existing Brooklyn Center Police Department holding facility and
possible renovation of same. Please feel free to contact me if you have
any questions concerning this letter or desire additional information.

RE: MUNICIPAL SERVICE GARAGE
Energy Conservation Measures
Dear Mr. Knapp:
We have investigated the installation cost and energy savings of various changes
to the mechanical systems and the building envelope at the Municipal Service
Garage. Those changes that appear to be economically advantageous are listed
elow, along with their installation costs /savings /payback estimates.
�1. Garage Make -up Air /Exhaust Air S stem
This system currently runs 16 hours per day, providing 11,800 CFM of heated
outside air to the Vehicle Storage area near the ceiling and exhausting the
same volume of air near the floor, in order to prevent the buildup of noxious
gases in the Vehicle Storage Area. By installing a carbon monoxide sensor
to control the make -up and exhaust fans so they operate only when needed,
it may be possible to reduce the gas consumption of the-MUA unit by over 70 %.
By using the very conservative figure of a 33% (not 70 %) reduction in operating
hours, the installation cost /savings /payback estimate is as follows:
Sensor and Controls, installed cost . . . . $ 3000
Gas savings (33% of 1560MCF /yr.@ $4.15 /MCF) . . . . . 2160 /yr.
Electric savings (33% of fan motor energy) . . . . . 900 /y r.
Simple Payback . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 Year
The way the system operates now, there is a problem whenever the paint spray
booth is turned on and the Vehicle Storage area unit heaters are also running.
Under these conditions, flue gases from the unit heaters which would normally
be vented outdoors are drawn into the Vehicle Storage area, due to the negative
pressure caused by the spray booth exhaust fan. The installed cost shown above
includes necessary wiring, relays, and interlocks to eliminate this problem, by
providing the following operating conditions:
a. When the paint spray booth exhaust fan is off (normal operation), the
carbon monoxide sensor will control the Vehicle Storage exhaust fan. When
the Vehicle Storage exhaust fan operates, the Vehicle Storage make -up
air unit fan shall also operate.
b. When the paint spray booth exhaust fan is turned on, the Vehicle Storage
make -up air unit fan shall operate and the Vehicle Storage exhaust fan
shall be locked out.

RE: MUNICIPAL SERVICE GARAGE
1. Garage Make-Up Air /Exhaust -
/ s t Ai r System cont
9 P Y
C. Whenever the make -up air unit fan is not running, the make -up air
unit burner shall not fire.
2. Vehicle Storage Area Heating System
Replacing the existing unit heaters with a more efficient Co- Ray -Vac
radiant heating system would result in energy savings and a more evenly
heated space. The installation cost /savings /payback estimates are as follows:
Co- Ray -Vac installed cost . $ 21,000
Gas Savings (1093MCF /yr @ $ 4.15 /MCF) 4,540/yr
Simple Payback . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.6 Years
If the roof is re- insulated before the Co- Ray -Vac system is Installed, the
energy required to heat the Vehicle Storage area will be reduced, and therefore
the energy savings of the Co- Ray -Vac system will be reduced proportionately. This
will extend the payback period for the Co- Ray -Vac to 5.8 years.
3. Roof Insulation
The estimates below are based on adding polystyrene (beadboard), polyurethane,
or pol isoc anurate board-typ i
Y Y e nsulation with an R- factor f
YP o 12. This
represents the minimum insulating value needed to make roof mdet the
.06 U -value required by the current State Energy Code. Any existing roof
insulation that has deteriorated or become wet must be replaced.
The cost estimate below is based solely on the installation of new insulation
and any modifications to roof curbs, cant, edging treatment, etc., due to
the additional thickness. It does not reflect the cost of re- roofing the
building, but only the difference in cost between re- roofing with or without
additional insulation. The installation cost /savings /payback estimates for the
incremental costs of re- insulating the roof are as follows:
Insulation installed cost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 23,000
Gas Savings 4,400 /yr.
Simple Payback . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.2 years

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: James Lindsay, Chief of Police
DATE: December 8, 1987
SUBJECT: Brooklyn Center Jail Facilities and Security
In reviewing long -range projects considered for the 1990 budget,
consideration was given to the jail area. The present jail
facilities include a booking area, interview room, shower and
three cells. This configuration was designed in 1970 and served
our needs at that time. Several problems have developed since
then. The department has completed an in -depth review and
evaluation of the jail` area. To assist the department we
consulted the city's architect, Al Mjorud, of Carlson, Mjorud
Architects, Limited and the State of Minnesota's Detention
Program Manager, Dennis Falenschek. A review of the problems and
their suggested solutions follow:
Space or Overcrowding: The number of persons arrested since 1970
has increased considerably. This is the result of both new laws
and the increase of activity. We now hold for court appearance
all domestic abuse arrests. This with the increased commercial
development has added to the number of felony arrests for
shoplifting chec
k fo credit card for g rY� g , et cetera.
DWI's, shoplifting, aggravated destruction of property, et cetera
are now gross misdemeanors requiring mug shots and booking.
The three current cells hold only one person each. All others
must be transferred to the county jail. This takes two officers
to perform. One to drive and one for security. This often
leaves only one or two officers in Brooklyn Center until they
return. The County charges a booking fee of $74.95 for walking a
prisoner through the door. In addition the county charges $13.00
plus per quarter day. The cost of lodging a prisoner in the
county jail runs a minimum of approximately $100.00.
Falenschek's report will allow the conversion of the interview
room into a cell. This would require securing electric outlets,
locks, et cetera and adding a lavatory with proper ventilation.
The large number three cell could be converted into an
administrative holding cell. By adding prison type fixed
furniture; table and benches, we would be able to place several
prisoners in the same cell for periods of eight hours or less.
This would involve prisoners waiting for bail, completion of
records checks and bookings. These changes would allow us to
lodge four people long -term or three people long -term and up to
seven short -term. We do not anticipate a large saving of the
Board of Prisoners budget account. It should keep it from
growing at a fast rate.
Memo to Gerald G. Splinter
Page 2
December 8, 1987
Security: During 1987 the department experienced two escapes and
one attempted suicide. The suicide attempt involved a prisoner
using his pants and tying them so he could hook them over the
lavatory door and around his neck. Fortunately an officer
decided to check on the prisoner. He found the prisoner
unconscious. First aid was administered. He was revived and
removed to a hospital. Dispatchers are required to check the
cells every thirty minutes.
All dangerous, injured or sick prisoners are lodged at the county
jail as they are equipped for these types. They are usually
housed short term at our facility until they can be booked and
transferred. Last week we had an aids infected prisoner lodged
for approximately four hours until he could be transferred. The
security problem is the lavatory of each cell faces the central
hallway: For privacy, the State required doors on the lavatory
when the cells were constructed. The architect suggested
removing the doors, filling in the opening and then opening the
lavatories into the cell area. This would remove all ledges that
prisoners could use to loop clothing over to use to hang
themselves, yet provide the privacy required by the state.
The escape problem is caused by having the booking area open to
the main hallway of the police department. The two prisoners in
separate incidents took off running, following the exit signs out
the front door. Both prisoners were recaptured a distance from
the building. The solution is to install a new jail type door at
the opening into the main hallway. This creates a cell block
configuration. As a temporary solution, the Fire Chief has
allowed us to lock the glass door separating the administrative
wing from the rear area. Someone with a key must be in
attendance during the time the door is locked. We lock it only
during the time prisoners are in the booking areas. The State
Fire Inspector has indicated this will be allowed on a temporary
basis only.
The new door will separate the booking area from our video
camera. This camera allows the dispatcher to view the rear
security door before they open it for anyone leaving the
building. This camera is also used to video tape all DWI and
unruly prisoner bookings. The new camera will be located in the
booking room for the recording of bookings.
Booking Counter: Presently our handi - talkies are stored in the
booking room. Because of court decisions we have moved the
intoxilyzer to an investigator's office. Courts have ruled the
radio frequencies interfere with the operation of the
intoxilyzer. The handi- talkies could not be moved because of the
Memo to Gerald G. Splinter
Page 3
December 8, 1987
need for special electrical circuits for the chargers. The
architect suggested wiring the squad room and moving the radios
there. This will allow for the moving of the intoxilyzer back to
the booking area. We will then be able to record the intoxilyzer
on video tape also. The counter, because of wear, needs to be
refabricated. At the same time, it should be remodeled to be
recessed to receive the intoxilyzer. The recess will prevent the
prisoner from tampering with the machine. Prisoners in the past
have attempted to push the machine off the counter. Presently
with the intoxilyzer in the investigator's office, the prisoner
must sit where he can ,view all the ,listed read outs. They
attempt to alter what they are doing to foil the test. This adds
additional time to administering the tests. The move will
prevent tampering plus allowing the video taping during the
administration of the tests.
After reviewing all of the above matters and having discussions
with Sy Knapp, it was determined that this be brought to your
attention with a recommendation that the remodeling occur as soon
as possible. The cost of these improvements and Falenschek's
report are included in Sy Knapp's memo. Please advise if you
need clarification or additional information.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Department of Finance
DATE: December 10, 1987
SUBJECT: INSURANCE CONTRACTS
I have negotiated insurance renewals for the City's boiler and machinery and
liquor liability coverages for 1988.
The Hartford Steam Boiler and Insurance Company has offered to renew the boiler
and machinery coverage for an annual premium of $2,162, an increase of only
$63 over 1987 cost. This is a specialty insurance coverage and Hartford is
the leader in this field. I recommend that we accept the renewal.
The Transcontinental Insurance Company has offered to renew our liquor liability
insurance and discount the premium 10% from 1987 rates because of our favorable
experience record with them. The total cost for $500,000 each common cause
and $500,000 aggregate for each store would be $19,800. This is the same
coverage as last year and would cost us $2,200 less. I also asked them for
a quote on $1,000,000 coverage per store and a quote on Excess Coverage over
the Underlying Coverage. (I have attached my analysis to this memo) .
They have offered $1,000,000 per store coverage at a total annual premium
of $28,600. That is double the coverage for an increase of $6,600 or 30%
over 1987 cost. Excess (or Umbrella) Coverage, which pays after the underlying
insurance coverage is depleted, is still very expensive however, as you can
see on my analysis. I would not recommend it at this time. I recommend that
we accept their offer of $1,000,000 per store coverage at a total premium
of $28,600.
I have also attached a resolution which would award the insurance contracts.
The resolution is on the December 14th City Council agenda.
I am currently working on the renewals with LMCIT for liability, property,
and workmen's compensation insurance coverages. I will report to you as soon
as I get renewal quotes.

RE: ANDRESCIK /RUBENSTEIN /CITY
Storm Sewer Bypass
Attached hereto is a revised copy of the proposed agreement which includes two
changes which the City Council informally approved at the November 9, 1987
Council meeting, i.e.:
- on page 4, paragraph 5 has been changed to require a $19,400.00
Letter of Credit instead of the $29,100.00 Letter of Credit shown
in previous copy;
- on page 5, paragraph 8 has been added, wherein the City assures
ANDRESCIK and RUBENSTEIN that, in the event the bypass sewer is
ever abandoned (as a result of constructing the replacement storm
sewer as described in the Westwood study, or for any other reason), no
special assessments will be levied against their properties.
It is recommended that the City Council continue to withhold approval of any of
the other items relating to resolution of the conflict (i.e. - adoption of the
ordinance vacating the portions of the easements under the two houses, approval
of the setback variance, and approval of the platting variance) until this
agreement is finalized and executed by ANDRESCIK and RUBENSTEIN, and ANDRESCIK
submits the required new easement and the Letter of Credit.
Respectfull submitted,
December 14, 1987

the executed easement, and the Letter of

Rubenstein the City Attorney and approved by him.
Accordingly, I recommend approval of the
agreement and other items relating to this
matter. ,

RE: Consideration of Items Relating to Lots 46'and 47, Block 6, Pearson's
Northport 3rd Addition. (i.e. - 5806 and 5812 Halifax Avenue North)
Five items relating to the resolution of conflicts resulting from the intrusion
of the houses located at 5806 and 5812 Halifax Avenue North into the existing
public utility easement are included on the City Council agenda for 11/9/87.
These items and my comments regarding them are as follows:
A. Resolution accepting Engineer's report regarding Storm Sewer Improvement
Project No. 1987 -22.
A copy of the report from the Westwood Planning and Engineering Company is
submitted herewith. This report includes the following two significant
conclusions:
1. The estimated cost for consideration of a 30 inch diameter bypass storm
sewer between the two houses is $19,400. This cost estimate includes
contract costs for construction of the bypass sewer with appurtenances;
contract costs for filling the existing storm sewers, before they are
abandoned in � lace so as to prevent future cave-ins; and contract costs
P
for landscape repairs. This estimate does not include the costs for
construction a prepar c n su ervision le al and
pl n c p g
administrative costs or capitalized interest costs.
2. The report concludes that, instead of oversizing the bypass sewer, and
oversizing the entire downstream sewer system at the some future date, the
City should construct a "relief storm sewer" following the street system
to "Northport Lake ". It is my opinion that this is an excellent
recommendation, since the problems associated with oversizing or replacing
the existing storm sewers (located in the back yard and on side yards of
16 homes) would be immense. Westwood has estimated that the cost of this
�" 1961 LL141ltIG QR -•� .
Consideration of Items Relating to Lots 46 and 47
November 4, 1987
Page two
relief storm sewer will be approximately $250,000 to $300,000. This is an
item that should be considered sometime in the future, in conjunction
with the development of plan for upgrading the City's storm drainage
system, and compliance with the "Metropolitan Surface Water Management
Act" which will require development of a "local plan" complimentary to the
plan now being developed by the Shingle Creek Watershed Commission. Under
the terms of the Surface Water Management Act, that local plan must be
developed by or during calendar year 1989.
In any event, this recommendation eliminates the need to consider
oversizing the currently proposed bypass sewer. I recommend that the
Westwood report be accepted by resolution.
B. Resolution approving agreement for the relocation of a storm sewer within the
public utility easements between Lots 46 and 47, Block 6, Pearson's
Northport 3rd Addition.
Submitted herewith is a draft copy of an agreement between Andrescik,
Rubenstein and the City which I have prepared in consultation with the City
Attorney. It is my belief that this agreement reflects the direction we have
previously received from the City Council; that approval of this agreement
would provide a proper basis for resolution of the existing conflicts, and that
the proposed cost distribution is equitable.
Copies of this proposed agreement are being delivered to Mr. and Mrs.
Andrescik and to Mrs. Rubenstein today (November 4, 1987) in hope that they
will have adequate time to review the proposal and react to it. However, it
may well be that they will need additional time to review the agreement and
to get needed approvals. (I believe that Mr. and Mrs. Andrescik will need
to get the approval of the agreement and the temporary easement from the
lending agency which is providing financing for the people who are buying
their house. Also, both parties may well wish to have their attornies
review the agreement, and Mr. and Mrs. Andrescik need to make arrangements
to provide the financial security required by the proposed agreement).
Accordingly, it may not be possible to proceed with approval of this
agreement at the November 9, 1987 Council meeting. However I do
that the proposed agreement be discussed at that that time so t recommend
requested b if changes are
q
y the City Council, the can be made
Y so that the final agreement
can be approved at the November 23, 1987 Council meeting. g
C. Ordinance vacating portions of the public utility easements located on Lots 46
and 47, Block 6, Pearson's Northport 3rd Addition.
Consideration of Items Relating to Lots 46 and 47
November 4, 1987
Page three
D. Planning Commission application No. 87023 submitted by James Andrescik
requesting a variance from section 35 -400 of the zoning ordinance to allow a
zero setback for an attached garage presently built over the side property
line and a storm sewer easement. This item was recommended for approval by
the Planning Commission at its October 15, 1987 meeting.
E. Planning Commission application No. 87024 submitted by James Andrescik
requesting a variance from the subdivision ordinance to allow a land transfer
by metes and bounds division `rather than than formal platting. This item was
recommended for approval by the Planning Commission at its October 15, 1987
meeting.
These three items should all be considered in concert with the proposed
agreement. The public hearings should be conducted on November 9, 1987.
However, if the agreement is not ready for approval, adoption of these 3 items
should be tabled - for consideration when the final agreement has been prepared
and executed by the Andrescik's and by Rubenstein.
Respectfully submitted,
Sy Knapp

WHEREAS, the house constructed on the ANDRESCIK Property has
encroached into the public utility easement and is located above both of the
CITY'S storm sewers; and
WHEREAS, the house constructed on the RUBENSTEIN Property has
encroached into the public utility easement; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of all parties hereto to resolve
and redefine the easement and to eliminate these encroachment problems; and
WHEREAS, which, S the CITY as consideration of an ordinance h
h initiated con ,
adopted, will vacate those portions of the easements which lie under the two
houses; and
WHEREAS, the CITY has conducted a study which proposes to replace the
existing storm sewers by constructing a new 30 inch diameter bypass storm sewer
within the remaining portions of the public utility easements, as shown in
"Figure 6 - Schematic of Proposed Replacement Storm Sewer" as prepared by the
Westwood Planning and Engineering Company, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit A.
-2-
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:
1. That, prior to adoption of the ordinance vacating those portions
of the public utility easements which lie under the two houses,
ANDRESCIK will grant to the CITY a temporary easement (see
Exhibit B attached) which will allow the continued operation and
maintenance of the existing storm sewers until such time as the
proposed bypass storm sewers are constructed and placed into full
operation.
2. That the CITY will adopt the ordinance vacating those portions of
the existing public utility easements which lie under the two
houses.
3. That the CITY will prepare plans and specifications for construction
of the proposed bypass storm sewer, will advertise for bids for
said improvement, and will award a contract for construction of
said improvement to the lowest responsible bidder, all in
accordance with laws relating to municipal construction contracts.
Said contract shall require completion of the improvement on or
before September 15, 1988. Work to be completed under this
contract shall include filling those portions of the existing storm
sewers which are to be abandoned and left in place and shall
include repair or restoration of existing landscape features (i.e.
topsoil and sod, plantings, fences, retaining walls, etc.) which
are damaged or destroyed. In addition, the contract shall also
-3-
require the contractor to take all precautions necessary to prevent
damage to existing structures, real properties or personal
properties, and to purchase and maintain a policy of insurance which
will protect him and the CITY from any claims which may arise out
of or result from the contractor's operations under the contract.
4. That ANDRESCIK will reimburse the CITY for all costs incurred for
work completed under the construction contract (current cost
estimate — $19,400.00). Other costs, including engineering, legal
and administrative services and capitalized interest costs (current
cost estimate — $2,350.00) will be paid by the CITY without
reimbursement from either ANDRESCIK or RUBENSTEIN.
5. That ANDRESCIK, in order to assure reimbursement of the CITY'S
costs for construction of the bypass storm sewer, hereby submits an
Irrevocable Letter of Credit (see Exhibit C attached) in the total
amount of $19,400.00 which is equal to the estimated contract amount.
The CITY'S claims for payment from said letter of credit shall
be limited to reimbursement for construction contract payments.
Upon completion of the project and receipt of full reimbursement
for construction contract payments the CITY will authorize release
of the letter of credit.
6. That ANDRESCIK and RUBENSTEIN hereby waive any claim for liability
which they may believe the CITY has incurred as a result of
-4-
previous action(s) of the CITY relating to acquisition of the
existing easements, installation of the existing storm sewers,
issuance of building permits, or any other action which relates to
the development and existence of current conditions.
7. That ANDRESCIK hereby waives any claim for loss of damage which may
occur in the future as the result of the abandonment inplace of
those portions of the existing storm sewer which are to be bypassed
under the terms of this agreement. Upon termination of the CITY'S
temporary easement described in paragraph 1 thereof, all right,
title and interest of the CITY to that portion of the storm sewer
pipes lying within the area of said easement shall cease and said
portion of storm sewer pipes shall become and remain the property
of the owners of the ANDRESCIK Property, and the CITY shall
have no further right, title or interest therein or responsibility
therefor.
8. That, in the event the bypass storm sewer which will be constructed
in accordance with the terms of this agreement is ever removed from
service as a result of future changes to the City's storm -sewer
system, the City will either remove that bypass storm sewer, or
fill it in a way which will prevent possible cave -ins. No portion
of the costs for removing the pipe or of filling the pipe and
abandoning it inplace, including restoration, landscaping and other
costs incidental thereto will be charged to either ANDRESCIK or
RUBENSTEIN in the form of special assessments to these properties.

MEMO
TO: Chair and Members of the Charter Commission
FROM: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
DATE: November 10, 1987
SUBJECT: Suggested Charter Amendment Relating to a
Full -time Fire Chief
As you may be aware, the City Council, as a part of their
consideration of the 1988 Annual City Budget, has proposed the
creation of a position of full -time fire chief. This request
came from the fire department through the City Manager's Proposed
Budget and to the City Council for its consideration and
approval. During the evaluation of this request, a review of the
City Charter indicates there is a potential conflict with the
current City Charter and the appointment of a full -time fire
chief. Section 6.02, Subd. 3. (b) states, The fire chief shall
be
a volunteer who shall be appointed pp d from the members of the
volunteer fire department." The city Y attorne has stated that
the term "volunteer" used in this section conflicts with the fact
of paying someone for the duties and responsibilities of the fire
chief. Technically speaking, the current situation in which we
are paying approximately $7,000 for the services of a part -time
fire chief does violate this section of the Charter.
The City Council is requesting your consideration of an amendment
to the City Charter which will allow for the removal of the
reference to volunteer in appropriate sections of the Charter,
thus allowing the City to pay for services of the fire chief.
As some of you may be aware, the issue of a full -time fire chief
was a very politically sensitive issue a little over 10 years
ago. The City Council is most interested in seeing that any
changes proposed in the Charter have as thorough a public hearing
process as is possible. At this time you should understand that
the proposal for a full -time fire chief has the support of the
City Council, City staff, and the fire department. I will be
available at your next Charter Commission meeting to discuss this
proposal and answer any questions you may have.
A copy of a city attorney's letter reviewing alternative methods
of amending the Charter is attached. The City Council has
initially expressed a preference for charter amendment by
ordinance, if you concur.

Steven M. Tallen proposed charter amendment to the voters.
Mary Frances Skala

3. The Charter Commission makes its report to the City
Council either approving or rejecting the proposed
amendment or suggesting a substitute amendment.
4. The Council submits the question of the charter
amendment to the voters. This may be either the
original proposed amendment or a revision suggested
by the Charter Commission.
5. An election is held following at least two weeks
published notice. If 51% of the votes cast are in
favor of the amendment, the amendment passes and is
filed with the Secretary of State and County
Recorder. The amendment becomes effective 30 days
after the election, unless a later time is specified
in the ordinance.

The more streamlined and less expensive procedure would
be for the Charter Commission to recommend the enactment
of an ordinance under Minnesota Statutes, §410.12, subd.
7, by unanimous adoption of an ordinance without an
election. The steps in this procedure are as follows:
1. The Charter Commission recommends adoption of a
charter amendment by ordinance.
2. In response to the recommendation of the Charter
Commission, the City Council holds a public hearing
on two weeks notice which contains the text of the
proposed amendment.
3. The Council adopts the proposed amendment by
unanimous vote. The ordinance is then published,
filed with the Secretary of State and County
Recorder and becomes effective 90 days after passage
and publication, or any later date which is
specified in the ordinance.
Under this second procedure there is generally no
election, although the matter is subject to a reverse
referendum on the petition of qualified voters equal in
number to 20 of the total number of votes cast in the
last state general election.
If you have any further questions on these procedures,
please feel free to give me a call.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter.. City Manager
FROM: Director of Finance
DATE: November 25, 1987
SUBJECT: FIRE DEPARTMENT RELIEF ASSOCIATION BYLAWS
The current bylaws of the Brooklyn Center Fire Department Relief Association
require that, in addition to trustees elected from the Association, the Mayor
Clerk and Fire Chief shall also be trustees. This provision was in accordance
with state statutes at the time the bylaws were last amended. At that time,
you were also the City Clerk. I have acted in an unofficial advisory role
to the Board of Trustees.
Since the last amendments to the bylaws, two events have happened. They are:
(1) Darlene Weeks, Administrative Office Manager, became City
Clerk, and
(2) State statutes were amended to allow either the clerk,
clerk- treasurer, or finance director to be a member of
the Board of Trustees.
Since Darlene has not been involved in Association matters, and I have, you
might want to consider placing me on the Board of Trustees. If so, the action
required would be for the City Council to direct the Fire Relief Association
to amend its bylaws to replace the Clerk with the Finance Director on the Board
of Trustees (Article I. Section 1.).

Dear Jerry,
A meeting or two ago we discussed Vento`s Bill usurping
control of the Mississippi River Corridor, We did nothing.
I think we should look at that Bill again as I don't think
it is as harmless as we perceived it to be that evening.
I get the raessage that Fridley does not enthusiastically
embrace it! Enclosed is a copy of a letter from their Mayor
to Congressman Vento.

Congressman Bruce Vento
230 Rayburn Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20501
Dear Congressman Vento:
Re: Tri -River Nationalization HR 2530
I
The actual language of your bill, HR 2530, was brought to my attention
recently. It's from the minutes of the House of May 27, 1987, which
is some months back.
I wish the detail had been brought to my attention earlier, preferably
before you introduced it, because it's a far cry from the
understanding I received from you in our phone eonversat- on a year or
so ago i
B c by t.
If you recall our conversation, you called to tell me of your
intentions. I told you I didn't see any particular need for it, but
the understanding I received, led me to not object. That
"understanding" didn't suggest, in any way, the Federal takeover I see
in your Bill.
To refresh your memory on what I told you on the phone, I said I
didn't see any particular need for Federal concern about the
protection of the upper Mississippi... that for many years the upper
Mississippi had been generally protected by the Critical Rivers Act,
and that local governments also had been deeply concerned with
protecting the river.
I don't know of any local government or count that willfully I Y Y or
negligently permits clear abuse. To the extent some abuse still
exists: Combined sewers, for example, it's not a problem of local
government negligence or lack of desire, it's only a problem of
finding the money for correction.
I have been deeply involved in protecting the Mississippi River ever
since I took office here in Fridley in 1961. In 1964, Governor
Rolvaag appointed me to a state ad hoc committee to focus on that
concern, and later I served on two other Mississppi River management
study groups. So I am hardly a "Johnny- come - lately."
-G-
And I must say from that perspective and being concerned with river
management for so many years, the one thing I can say with certainty
is there is no need to put another level of government into the
jurisdiction. I say this based on my own knowledge, and from the
study of the recent "Final Report of the Metropolitan River Coridors
Study Committee."
Consider our management here in Fridley. I think it's typical of the
cities I know in this area. We did a study in 1954 involving
riverfront development and have developed..in accordance with that
plan. Today, there is NO undeveloped river frontage anywhere in
Fridley. We are proud of our stewardship of the resource and
certainly can't conceive of a need to turn it over to the Secretary of
Interior. Of the 32,000 feet (6 miles) of riverfront in our
stewardship, 75 percent is in public ownership. How much do you want?
Total river frontage - 32,000 feet (about 6 miles)
Private use (residential) - 8,000 feet (approximately 25 percent)
Public uses - 24,000 feet including:
2 City parks
3 County parks
1 Girl Scout camp
1 Riverfront drive
1 Bikeway System
1 Water production facility, St. Paul
1 Water production facility, Minneapolis
1 Freeway river crossing site
I might say that of all this development, the only serious adverse
environmental effects result from the Federal site, the freeway
crossing (I -694), and its associated freeway drainage discharges.
I am generally familiar with the stewardship practiced by all the
other municipalities upstream from Minneapolis and I don't know of any
deliberate abuse whatsoever. To the extent, some treatment plants may
not be as good as they should be. The problem is lack of funds, not
lack of knowledge or good intent.
In any event, I cant t believe you have any hard evidence whatsoever to
demonstrate a need that justifies the premption of state and local
discretion provided for in your bill. That's not to say we wouldn't
welcome Federal assistance on some of our projects. In fact, one
County park was purchased with Federal funds. The City would
certainly welcome Federal funds on our two riverfront parks. Indeed,
one has been the beneficiary of Federal funds to help buy out
dilapidated housing in a flood plain to expand that park. We would
welcome the Army Corps of Engineers economic participation in the
improvement of a flood management dike construction project.
Up until now, no one has ever demonstrated the necessity for turning
jurisdiction over some of our most valuable land to the Secretary of
Interior. The way I see it, you propose to turn over basic decision
processes that profoundly effect thousands of citizens in this area to
a fundamentally unaccountable group of people (the Secretary of
Interior and 18 members appointed by the Secretary of Interior). Not
one in the entire structure is elected by the people. How far do you
propose we go in turning over the regular powers of government to the
exclusive use of bureaucrats?
_3_
Let me say, I welcome a partnership and involvement with Federal
interests, but that's not your proposal. So please make note in your
minutes that in Fridley there is one Mayor and five Councilmembers who
want to be on record as being strongly opposed to your Bill, HF 2530.

William J. Nee,

RESOLUTION OPPOSING HR2530
WHEREAS, Congressman Vento has introduced a bill,
HR2530, which affects over 80 miles of property on both sides of
the Mississippi River running through the Minneapolis -St. Paul
metropolitan area; and
WHEREAS, this area is the largest, most highly
developed, and the most expensive, metropolitan area in the State
of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, there are twenty cities and five counties
regulating development along this portion of the Mississippi
River, all with appropriate planning departments and
comprehensive plans which interrelate, and the area is further
coordinated by the Metropolitan Council for the seven county
metropolitan area, various watershed districts, and other
agencies; and
WHEREAS, HR2530 takes control of planning, development,
and other matters, away from the state and local units of
government and places it in the hands of a single nonelected
j official in Washington D.C.; and
WHEREAS, HR2530 tends to nationalize a tremendous
amount of private property, with thousands of individual and
corporate owners, which would ultimately cost the federal
government and taxpayers an immeasurably large amount of money in
acquisition costs, as well as costing local governmen an
immeasurably large amount of lost revenue as a result of losing
such property off the property tax rolls;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of
Supervisors of Grey Cloud Island Township, Washington County,
Y
Minnesota, an Urban Township, that all members of Congress and
the Senate be, and they hereby are requested and urged to vote
against HR2530.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Northern Mayors' Association Steering
Committee Report
To the Honorable Mayor and Council:
Attached please find a copy of the Steering Committee Report
which will be reviewed by the Northern Mayors' Association in the
near future. This report expresses concerns of a number of
managers in the northwest metropolitan' area relating to
activities of coalitions of cities in the eastern part of the
metro area and the southwestern part of the metro area. It also
expresses the interest that there is no effective promotional
effort for the northern tier of communities.
The Mayors' Association was formed to examine and promote methods
and ways of enhancing the economic development of this portion of
• the metropolitan area, and the Steering Committee Report
recommends establishment of a permanent staffing of this type of
effort. Of course, with any permanent staffing comes the need to
finance. The Steering Committee is proposing to the Northern
Mayors' group to establish an annual budget of $100,000 for a
staff person's clerical support and promotional activities in
this area.
Also listed on page 2 of this report are a series of primary
transportation projects which the report believes are critical to
the northern communities. The problem arises that when resources
are scarce, and they always are, sectors of the metro area and
indeed throughout the state compete for these resources and it is
important that the interest of the northern tier of communities
be represented. I believe this is especially true in the area of
the 610 Crosstown, Highway 100 upgrade, additional river crossing
between Anoka and Hennepin County and monitoring the airport
planning process. Recent articles in the paper have indicated
that the possibility of a second airport or a freight handling
airport is again going to be considered by airport planners. I
believe it will be exceedingly important that this process be
monitored and that the northern site for such a facility be
promoted.
Brooklyn Center's cost on an annual basis for staffing this
effort, depending on the number of communities that may
participate, could be between $8,000 and $10,000. The Northern
Mayors' Association has asked city managers to review a cost
sharing proposal which would split the cost of this effort among
M & C No. 87 -21 -2 December 11, 1987
interested communities on the basis of a formula which divides
the costs 50% based on population and 50% based on assessed
value.
The mayors are also interested in examining what kind of funding
is available through private sources to assist in this program.
However, initially we believe a commitment on the part of the
communities is necessary and then it will be easier to raise
funds privately. Please understand this is a preliminary
proposal and has not had final review by the Executive Committee
of the Northern Mayors. I am bringing it to you at this time
because I believe you should have time to discuss the matter on a
preliminary basis. This proposal will probably be forthcoming on
a formal basis sometime early in 1988.
Respectfully submitted,
Gerald G. Sp l nter
City Manager
NORTHERN MAYORS' ASSOCIATION
STEERING COMMITTEE REPORT
On November 3, 1987, Bob Thistle, Chairman of the Opera-
ting Committee appointed a committee to form a strategy
for coordinating the promotion of transportation
improvements and economic development in the north metro
area.
Committee members are:
Hank Sinda City of New Brighton, Chair
Rich Johnson, City of Blaine
Gerald Splinter, City of Brooklyn Center
Jock Robertson, City of Fridley
Mark Sievert, City of Dayton
Bob Thistle, Coon Rapids.
Bill Barnhart, Minneapolis
Al Hofstedt, Coon Rapids
Statement of Problem
The East Metropolitan cities have organized and raised
$250,000 for marketing and promotion in the east metro
area. A southwest group of cities have also organized
and have raised funds to lobby for transportation
improvements in the southwest metro area.
Findings of the Steering Committee
1. The goals of the Northern Mayors' Association are
to promote transportation improvements and economic
development in the north metro area.
2. There needs to be a coordinated effort between the
Northern Mayors' Association cities and the follow-
ing community organizations:
A. North Metro Crossing Coalition
B. Anoka County Chamber of Commerce (task force)
C. Tourism Bureau
D. Brooklyn Center Chamber of Commerce
E. New Brighton Chamber of Commerce
F. Fridley Chamber of Commerce
G. North Metro Traffic Task Force
H. Anoka County Economic Development Partnership
I. And each member city in the Northern Mayors'
Association

F. Monitor metro airport facilities
G. Northern athletic facility
4. The Northern Mayors' Association should raise
$100,000 through member cities -- to be matched by
the private sector for additional funding.
5. A staff person And clerical support staff should be
hired to coordinate efforts to achieve the organi-
zation's goals.
6. The staff, along with appointed committees, will
work to achieve the goals of the organization:
A. Identify funding sources for transportation
projects such as assessments, transportation
utilities, grants, tolls, gas tax, TIF, pri-
vate donations, other contributions,
B. Develop g a strategic plan to achieve those
goals, and
C. Implement the plan.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Hennepin County Light Rail Transit -
Northwest Corridor
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
The City of Brooklyn Center is within the northwest corridor
study area for the new proposed Hennepin County Regional Railroad
Authority, (light rail transit) . Under legislation authorizing
planning money for this system, a planning process was mandated.
There are at least three levels of advisory committees. The
first one are corridor advisory committees of which four citizens
of Brooklyn Center are members of the Northwest Corridor Advisory
Committee; Technical Advisory Committee of which I am the
appointed member, and an overall advisory committee of which
Councilmember Lhotka is a member.
• Approximately a week ago I received a call from Todd Paulson, a
member representing Brooklyn Center from the Northwest Corridor
Advisory Committee asking for Brooklyn Center's comments relating
to alternate routes and issues surrounding light rail transit in
the northwest corridor. This week I have attended the Northwest
Corridor Advisory Committee meeting and attached are materials
relating to this group's consideration of issues in this area.
Until that particular meeting, there seemed to be a direction by
the Northwest Advisory Committee that did not consider sufficient
service to the Brookdale Industrial Park area of Brooklyn Center.
It now appears that more consideration will be given to that
concern. The other issues involved are that North Minneapolis
neighborhood representatives are very much against light rail
transit corridors that further cut up the north side of
Minneapolis. They are opposed to such corridors as Fremont /Penn
Avenue that head directly north from the Camden /Broadway area.
At the last meeting it appeared that all the members of this
Corridor Advisory Committee were expressing frustration at the
amount of information, its technical nature, and the lack of
other certain types of information, and most of all the short
period of time in which they are to make recommendation on a
preferred corridor. The legislative deadline for the planning
process is that they must report back this coming legislative
session and the corridor locations and other technical issues and
neighborhood issues are going to be exceedingly difficult to
resolve with this type of time constraint.
M & C No. 87 -22 -2- December 11, 1987
I will be presenting some additional information Monday evening
indicating the various corridors within the northwest area under
consideration and some members of the Northwest Corridor Advisory
Committee will be available to answer your questions.
Respect sjjbwitted,
Gerald G. Sp inter
City Manager

M & C No. 87 -19
November 6, 1987
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Final Agreement for Local Issues Addendum to Local 49-
City of Brooklyn Center Labor Agreement
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Attached please find a copy of the following documents: A letter
from myself to the Local 49 Union Business Agent, a document
dated 11/2/87 indicating the changes to Article B -II Sick Leave
and Article B -VII Standby Pay, and a final copy of the new
proposed local addendum to our labor agreement with Local 49.
Last week` I reached final agreement with Local 49 on our local
addendum to our contract. The term of the agreement on the local
addendum is from January 1, 1987 terminating on December 31,
1969. The basic changes in the language of the addendum as a
part of the new agreement involve the sick leave section and the
standby pay section. In the sick leave section the addendum is
changed to read the same as our personnel ordinance as it relates
to the use of sick leave and an allowance for a maximum of four
days use of sick leave for care of employee's children or spouse,
and a dropping of the language in the procedures section of the
sick leave article as it relates to absences in excess of three
working days for statement of illness by medical practitioner.
In the standby section we are making the changes necessary to
allow for five hours of overtime pay for standby purposes over
weekends rather than the existing language allowing for four
hours standby pay.
As a part of the agreement I have agreed to put in writing to the
union (see attached letter ) a statement that I will recommend to
the City Council the opening of the labor agreement for further
negotiations if, during the term of this agreement, the City of
Brooklyn Center offers an additional paid holiday to any
organized or nonorganized group of employees. Also covered in
the attached letter is a written statement as to our policy and
current practice in paying maintenance III rates when employees
maintain and operate maintenance III equipment.
I believe the settlement represents a fair agreement and
recommend it for your approval.
Respectfully submitted,
Gera G. Splinter,

Dear Mr. Connors:
As per our recent discussions regarding an agreement to settle
our local addendum contract with Local 49, I am writing this
letter to document my commitment to ask the City Council to
reopen the local addendum section of this contract should any
other organized or nonorganized group of employees in the City of
Brooklyn Center receive additional holiday enefits during the
Y g
term of the local addendum agreement.
gr ment.
Also as a part of our discussion, I am confirming that it is the
administrative policy of the City to pay maintenance III rates
for up to two hours when an assigned employee is servicing or
making inor e
g repairs on a maintenance III rated
piece of
equipment they will operate during a given day.
I hope this serves
p to confirm our understanding with regard to
this agreement. Thanking you for your patience and efforts in
achieving this agreement, I am
Sincerely,
Gerald G. Splinter

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chief James Lindsay
FROM: Captain Scott Kline
DATE: December 8, 1987
SUBJECT: Police Department Liquor License Annual Report
This report is a summary of all Police Department actions taken
in and around liquor establishments holding on -sale liquor
licenses, on -sale wine licenses and nonintoxicating liquor
licenses within the City of Brooklyn Center. 'The current number
of license holders in the City of Brooklyn Center is twenty,
although, one of these is in a period of transition as of the
date of this report. That is the Chuck Meur's license which was
terminated and La Casita which has not yet begun operation, but
will be later this month.
Officers responded to 571 calls for service and issued 130
citations for parking offenses for a total of 701 calls in and
around liquor establishments during the reporting period. This
is a decrease of approximately 100 incidents from 1986, but is
still 180 calls higher than 1985 and 1984. The Police
Department's pro - active detail did continue their surveillance
and arrests around liquor establishments and other evening
gathering places and may have assisted in discouraging some of
the thefts and vandalisms which had plagued these establishments
in the past.
The American Legion Club - 4307 70th Avenue North
There were eight (8) reported incidents at the American Legion
Club during the reporting period. The incident which began in
1986 over the gambling violation and resulted in the suspension
of the gambling license at the club and a subsequent closer
relationship with the City in straightening out the affairs of
the club appears to have had a positive effect. The current
governing body of the Legion Club is meeting on a regular basis
with officials from the city and appears to be making slow but
steady progress in making sure they are in control of what is
taking place at their club on a day -to -day basis. This has led
to a couple of the incidents listed below. One (1) was a theft
from the Legion treasury belonging to the Auxiliary and one (1)
was a possible theft from their gambling treasury which turned
out to be unfounded. A party was charged in the Legion Auxiliary
losses and restitution was made.

Applebee's - 1347 Brookdale Center
There were 16 reported incidents at Applebee's during the
reporting period, two (2) of which were minors procuring alcohol

Lynbrook Bowl - 6357 North Lilac Drive
There were 208 calls for service at this establishment during the
reporting period. Of these 208, 98 were citations written for
parking violations in and about the lot. There was a significant
increase in the number of arrests made in the lot at this
establishment because of the fact that this is one of the areas
that the pro- active detail concentrated on within the city. The
following is a listing of the arrests made in and about the lot.
There were nine (9) arrests made for Possession of Drugs, one (1)
arrest made for Indecent Conduct, one (1) arrest for Assault, one
(1) DWI arrest and one (1) Minor Consumption arrest.
