PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 85032 SUBMITTED BY ARBY'S REQUESTING A VARIANCE
FROM SECTION 34 -140, SUBSECTION 3.A. B. OF THE SIGN ORDINANCE TO ALLOW A TENANT
IDENTIFICATION WALL SIGN ON THE CANOPY A TVf THE NORTHWEST ENTRANCE TO B50 AT
MALL AND NOT ON EXTERIOR WALL SPACE OF ARBY'S TENANT SPACE
The City Manager noted this item was recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission at its October 10, 1985 meeting and tabled by the City Council at its
October 21, 1985 meeting. The Director of Planning & Inspection reviewed the
application request from the October 10, 1985 Planning Commission meeting minutes,
and noted that the Planning Commission did recommend approval on page five of the
October 10, 1985 Planning Commission meeting minutes. He stated that City staff
does not feel standards for granting the variance are met, and added that he and the
City Manager have met with the applicants to review the possible alternatives. The
Director of Planning & Inspection stated that staff recommends the possibility of an
ordinance amendment to allow those businesses not abutting the exterior walls of
enclosed malls to post signs on the exterior walls. He added that the
recommendation has also been made to set limitations on the amount of wall area to be
used for signs.
The Director of Planning & Inspection explained the alternatives available to
Arby's, including the issuance of administrative permits, of which Arby's would be
allowed to obtain two ten day permits. He added that the sign ordinance does permit
signs to be posted inside of the windows, and it would be possible for Arby's to affix
a sign to the inside windows at the entrance to the mall :,next to Applebee's
restaurant. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated the staff recommendation
that the variance be denied and suggested that staffrbe directed to review the
provisions of the ordinance and make possible ordinance amendments.
The City Manager noted that the Arby's management has requested a temporary variance
to put the sign up and would guarantee removal of the sign if the City Council does
not amend the ordinance. The City Attorney said he does not favor a temporary
variance as it does not exist under Minnesota case law. He pointed out that Howe,
Inc. received a temporary building variance several years ago and it took the City
three years after expiration of that variance to have the building removed. He
recommended that the ordinance be altered rather than dealing with this on a
variance basis. There was some discussion by the Council and staff regarding the
possibility of a temporary variance and the other alternatives of the
administrative permit and posting a sign inside the window area.
Mayor Nyquist asked about the use of the administrative permit, and the Director of
Planning & Inspection noted that administrative permits are granted per location,
and only two administrative permits are granted per year. The City Manager pointed
out that a business may borrow another tenant's administrative permit.
Councilmember Theis asked how permanent of a sign the administrative permit allows,

provided background information on the sale of the bonds and discussed the City's
situation with the Council. The City Manager noted that he and the Director of
Finance went to New York City in an attempt to change the City's bond rating;
however, this was not accomplished. The Director of Finance pointed out that
Brooklyn Center has a strong A -1 rating, and was told that a few "real" strengths are
missing from the City. Among these are a diversity of tax base, with the desire to
have a more industrial base; a population group that is not as aging as the current
Brooklyn Center population is; a strong assessed valuation growth over the last few
years (Brooklyn Center's growth has been stagnant); and a higher per capita income,
which is not the case in Brooklyn enter as it is lower than most
Yn AA cities.

it is mandated that City offices be closed for the Martin Luther King holiday, and
the City Manager responded affirmatively. He added that City offices are not

application for in 1984. He briefly reviewed the program, and explained that it
allows the City to target money for specific neighborhoods. Councilmember Theis
asked if there is a definition of what the target areas must be, and the Housing
Coordinator stated that it is the City's reponsibility to define the areas. He
added that this has not yet been done. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the City is
able to get the money, what can be done to avoid problems that occurred the last time

DISCUSSION ITEMS
SEWER LIFT CLAIM FILED BY MRS. CLEO BAILEY
The City Manager stated. that Councilmember Lhotka had requested this item be
considered by the City Council. Councilmember Lhotka pointed out that the Council
reviewed a similar item and this claim was not considered with the other claims. He
added that he felt the resident should have a chance to explain her problem.
Mayor Nyquist asked what contact was made with the resident after December, 1984,
and the City Manager stated that the claim had been denied by the insurance company.
Mayor Nyquist asked if any other parties are involved in this claim, and the Director
of Public Works said there are none. The Director of Public Works added that this
claim is a result of a blockage in the sanitary sewer system, and the City's
insurance company said history has shown no neglect on the City's part in this case.
Mayor Nyquist pointed out that in the other sewer claim case there are several
potential sources of negligence, and that is not so in this case. Councilmember
Lhotka asked how the City may distinguish between the case at hand and other cases.
Mayor Nyquist noted that the distinction is clear in his mind.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mrs. Cleo Bailey, 5436 Emerson Avenue North, who explained
her circumstances regarding the filing of the,.claim against the City. 'There was
some discussion between staff and the City Council regarding the use of contractors
for cleaning sewer systems. Councilmember Theis asked if a licensing mechanism
exists for plumbers who clean sewers, and the City Manager responded that such a
requirement is not made. Mrs. Bailey explained that she feels it is the City who was
negligent ent in this
s
g
ca e.
Councilmember Lhotka asked if the recommendation from the City Attorney for the
previous sewer claim case still pertains here, and the City Attorney noted that the
cases are somewhat similar. The City Attorney pointed out the difference is that if
11 -18 -85 -6-
the City pays the claimant in this case, there would be no one from whom the City
could recover the money. Councilmember Lhotka noted that the other claimants were
told to go to conciliation court, and asked if this process would work for Mrs.
Bailey. The City Attorney responded affirmatively, and added that he would guide
Mrs. Bailey in the process required for conciliation court.
Councilmember Lhotka pointed out that the case discussed by the Council this evening
is only a sample of what can happen because of the previous action taken by the
Council. He added that he will vote against the City paying this claim, as he would
have in the other case had he been at the meeting. He asked that Mrs. Bailey pursue
the course of going to conciliation court, and the City's insurance company will
either have to defend the case or pay the claim. Mayor Nyquist noted that he does
distinguish this case from the other case recently discussed by the Council. The
City Manager said that Mrs. Bailey can meet with the City Attorney and the City will
view the case once again with the City's insurance company. Councilmember Theis
asked if doing so will delay this case further, and the City Manager stated it should
not. Councilmember Hawes said that based on the information he received on this
case, he has a problem saying that the City was negligent.
STATUS REPORT ON 1986 BUDGET QUESTIONS AND "HOLD" ITEMS
The City Manager reviewed M&C No. 85 -11, first referring the Council to the section
Ultimaps and the Fire Department reporting system. Councilmember Theis stated
that he has spoken with members of the Fire Department and has no problem with
releasing the hold on the Fire Department item. The City Manager pointed out that
as the system develops, he will return to the Council with a formal request.
The City Yanager reviewed the request for the HRA computer and asked for removal of
the hold on this item. Councilmember Lhotka asked if there is another computer that
the HRA could use, and the City Manager explained the current usage system of micro -
computers in City hall. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the HRA needs its own
computer, and the City Manager noted that the computer will be shared with other City
personnel. Councilmember Lhotka asked if the other computers in City Hall are
overloaded, and the City responded affirmatively. Councilmember Scott expressed
concern that all equipment will be compatible in City Hall, and the City Manager
noted that the equipment is all of the same brand and can be put on the same system.

Services. Councilmember Theis asked the staff to prepare a list of criteria of what
City staff needs from an attorney. The City Manager stated that he can put a listing
together, and Councilmember Lhotka said he liked this idea. The City Manager noted
that he will have the information available by the first Council meeting in
February. Councilmember Theis suggested that the City also explore the needs of
staff with regard to the City auditor.

and the City Manager responded affirmatively. He added that one such truck is used
for salvage, and the other '
g , e is for rescue and carrying diving equipment..
Councilmember Lhotka asked if there are any other pieces of equipment that can be
used instead of the carryall, and the Fire Chief said there is none available. He
added that the vehicle will have four -wheel drive and will be useful in responding to
medicals, especially in winter storms. Councilmember Lhotka stated he is not
concerned with the four -wheel drive on the vehicle, but rather with the size of the
vehicle. The City Manager noted that the vehicle will transport people and some`
equipment, and provides more room than the average station wagon.- Councilmember
Scott noted that this carryall will be replacing a 1967 station wagon, and asked how
many miles are on that vehicle and what kind of shape it is in. The Fire Chief said
he is unsure of the mileage of the vehicle, but noted that the floor board fell off of
it last year and was welded back onto it.

MEMORANDUM
T0: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Brad Hoffman, Administrative Assistant
DATE: December 6, 1985
SUBJECT: Ryan Development Contract
The Ryan Development Contract that will be before the City and the HRA Monday
for approval is substantially as described for you in our previous meetings.
The HRA owns the Earle Brown Farm, a site of approximately fifteen (15) acres.
It has been the City /HRA's intent to divest itself from the excess land
acquired in the purchase of the Farm. Excess land amounts to approximately
seven (7) acres.
The proposed agreement with Ryan would transfer approximately four (4) acres
for one dollar and other considerations. The value of the new land based upon
the average of our appraisals is $2.80 per foot or approximately $480,000.
Our approximate ppr xunate cost was about $3.00 r foot or
Pe 520 000. $
Under the terms of the agreement, Ryan's 1st phase of the development will
start in 1986 and must be completed by January 1, 1988. However, the second
phase will be developed when Ryan desires. The maximum size of the buildin
in the second phase is subject to our determination as to the capacity of the
street system to handle peak hour traffic. Building locations on the site
have been determined and cannot be moved without the approval of the HRA. The
Earle Brown Farm will receive 40 parking spaces (not designated but 40 spaces
beyond the number required by ordinance) adjacent to the housing complex of
the Farm. We will also receive shared parking in the northwest corner of the
farm. The buildings will be of reflective glass skin and the ccmmn entry way
between the Farm, Ryan and the residential development will be built and
maintained by Ryan with the cost being appropriated evenly between Ryan and
the residential development, i.e. the Farm proper will not be financially
supporting the cost of this common entry although it will benefit from it.
The Pond will be immediately built with easements as deemed necessary by the
City. The pond will be a special assessment against Ryan's property. The
assessment will be at 10% for 10 years.
If the HRA was inclined to wait for development to occur on the Ryan property
without any subsidy (land and bonds) staff is of the opinion that any development
would be at least three years off. Based upon the tax generated by Ryan's
first building in Brooklyn Center, the City can anticipate $980,000 in additional
revenues for that period of time.
Finally, Ryan must provide the HRA with a purchase agreement for the Texas Air
Property for $625,000. This figure represents a $25,000 savings over our
anticipated cost with the same deal through Al Beisner and a significant cost
savings if the HRA were to condemn the property. The HRA also agrees to allow
Ryan to take over any development agreement or submitt a proposal on the
residential development if Beisner and the HRA cannot come to terms by July 1,
1986.
Monday night, the HRA and /or City Council will be asked to take action on
several items related to this project. Action must be taken on each if we are
to close this deal before the years end and allow Ryan to sell his bonds under
the authorization the City has received from the State. First, the development
contract must be approved. Second, the HRA will have to approve the
transfer /sale of land to Ryan. Third, in order to facilitate the sale we need
to pass an R.L.S. that is recordable showing the various parcels being traded
and /or sold between the two parties. This matter is very complicated and a
representative from Ryan's attorney and either John Dean or Bill Jordan from
the City Attorney's Office will be present to discuss this with you. You will
be passing this subject to a public hearing and review by the Planning Commission
which will meet December 17th. The R.L.S. is a temporary solution to our need
for a timely transfer of property. Ryan is committed to jointly replatting
all of the property inside of Earle Brown Drive north of Summit, so that we
end up with just four (4) parcels. Finally, you will be granting final
approval to the IR Bonds that were given preliminary approval at the November
4th Council meeting.
I am sure that you will find this to be a complex document to digest over the
weekend. We will be prepared to cover it in much greater detail Monday night.

MEMO
TO Jerry Splinter
FROM Arnie Mavis
DATE December 6, 1985
SUBJECT: Portable Stage and Bandstand
There are several reasons for the City of Brooklyn Center
to purchase a portable stage and bandstand. First monies have been
appropriated in the 1986 budget for an Entertainment in the Parks
program. There is a definite need for a stage for the performers
to perform on. Without a stage, it would be very difficult for the
audience to see the show. There is no end to the creative uses it
would provide for programs like Winter and family festivals, Sunday
in Central park and other special holiday and seasonal programs.
The primary usage of the stage would be for entertainment in
entral Park. But because of its mobility, it could go to other
Slocations providing entertainment to neighborhood parks. Other
uses could include headquarters for special events like Almost
Anything Goes and softball tournaments. This flexibility would
make this stage a great asset in programming in Brooklyn Center.
A second reason for having a portable stage is the cost of a
permanent stage. The cost of a permanent structure has been
estimated at $150,000. and its use would be limited to only the
programs in Central Park. A portable stage would cost only $60,514.
Also a permanent stage would be subject to more vandalism. A
portable stage could be put away when not in use.
Past experiences have also shown that a portable stage is a
good piece of equipment to have. At one time, the City owned a
small portable bandstand which had been built by City personnel.
This bandstand was used for concerts in the park, as a concession
stand, at Babe Ruth tournaments and many,other uses but unfortu-
nately it became unsafe to use. Over the past several years when we
needed a stage, we were lucky to be able to borrow the City of
Robbinsdale portable stage. By the use of this portable stage, we
were able to see how well it works. An example was last year at
Earle Brown Days when the portable stage was able to be moved to
the softball field when rain caused the spot that had been chosen
to become unusable.
There is no doubt that a portable stage and bandstand would
e a great asset to our community.

MEMO
TO Jerry Splinter
FROM Arnie Mavis
DATE December 6, 1985
SUBJECT: Lights at tennis courts at Brooklyn Center High School
In 1976, the City of Brooklyn Center and the Brooklyn Center
School District entered into a joidt agreement for the purpose of
the installation, maintenance and operation of lighting for the
public operation of the eight tennis courts at Brooklyn Center High
School. The lights operate for 30 minutes when .25� is put into a
meter. This system worked out very well for several years but in
recent years, a great deal of vandalism has taken place. The meters
are constantly being broken into for the money and this causes
the lights to become inoperable. This in turns causes a great
, many tennis players to be unhappy and high maintenance cost for the
school district.
The recommendation would be to install a new system which would
do away with coin meters. A player would push a button and the
lights would stay on for 30 minutes. This would most likely solve
the vandalism problem.
The cost for installation of this system is $2,234.00. The
estimated cost for electricity and maintenance is $2,000.00 per
year. The Brooklyn Center School District has proposed to divide
construction cost equally. The cost to the City for 1986 would be
$2,117.00. Our share of the ongoing operational cost (electricity)
would be approximately $1,000.00 annually.

RE: Replacement of Heating system in East Fire Station
The 1986 budget request for the Government Buildings Division included a
recommendation to replace the heating system in the Apparatus Room of the
East Fire Station. The existing system has been very ineffective and
inefficient since original construction. On very cold days the temperature
in this room drops to near- freezing and the Fire Chief reports frequent
.problems starting the fire trucks under these conditions. The system has
failed several times during the past 3 years, creating serious problems -
both in response time for the Fire Department, and in damage to building
contents. The recommendation of our consulting engineer is to install an
infrared heating system in place of the existing system. This type of
system is very energy- efficient for this use and is considered highly
reliable.
The project was deleted from the 1986 operating budget with a notation that
it be considered within the Capital Projects Budget.
Proposals have been solicited-,from four contractors for this proposed work.
A resolution is provided for consideration by the City Council.

Attention: Mr. Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works
Re: Police Department Entry /Public /Clerical
Area Remodeling
Dear Mr. Knapp:
Our firm is pleased to have the opportunity to respond to your
request for a proposal for architectural /engineering services
on the proposed Phase II remodeling work in the Police
Department area.
Our current understanding of the work, based on our meeting
with Chief Lindsay on Tuesday, November 26, 1985, is that the
project broadly described is to include replacement of the
existing hollow metal doors and frame at the lower level entry
to the police area, remodeling and upgrading of the entry
corridor, relocation of the public counter, enlargement oe the
clerical area and enclosing a space for the Business Manager.
The project will also include providing a system for
exhausting the air in the dispatching office.
A tentative schedule for this project would be as follows:
December 9, 1985 Council authorization to
proceed
December 12, 1985 Project review meeting
with staff
December 31, 1985 Complete construction
documents
January 21, 1986 Receive contractors
proposals
April 15, 1986 Project completion
Based on our current understanding of the project, we would
estimate that the probable construction costs would be as
follows:
Entry remodeling $11,500
Police Department remodeling 33,500
Total $45,000
(Includes $1,500 budgeted for dispatching area)
We would propose to provide architectural /engineering services
for a maximum fee not to exceed $4,700. The work would be
billed on an hourly basis as follows:
Principals $45.00 /hour
Drafting 28.00 /hour
Engineering 40 -50 /hour
Secretarial $18.00 /hour
The maximum fee is based on two (2) sitevisits per week during
the construction period to monitor the work for compliance
with the construction documents and schedule. - Should
additional site visits be requested by the City, we would
propose to bill additional work at the hourly rates noted,
above the maximum.
All costs for printing of the bidding documents would be
billed at our actual costs and are not included in the stated
maximum fee.
We look forward to continuing our working relationship with
the City and welcome any questions you may have regarding this
proposal.
Sincerely, Accepted by Brooklyn Center City Council

RE: Report on Reconditioning Wells No. 5 and 7
Annually one or two wells are selected to be reconditioned as a part of
normal maintenance. This year Wells No. 5 and 7 are being reconditioned.
The maintenance is separated in two categories; well maintenance and pump
maintenance.
Pump maintenance has been underway under separate contract. The work
consists of removing, sandblast cleaning, inspecting and painting the pump
and column. The repair of salvaged parts should cost no more than $1,300
per pump depending on the condition of the pump. The inspection resulted in
replacement of a major part of the pump column and shaft. More durable
replacements are being installed.
The wells must be reconditioned before the pumps are reinstalled.
Reconditioning consists of bailing or removing sand that has collected at
the bottom of the well. Well No. 5 has an obstruction that must be removed
and that will double the reconditioning cost which is normally $6,500.
Summarized below are the anticipated costs for reconditioning Wells No. 5
and 7.
Description Quantity Unit Unit Price Total
Mobilization 2 L.S. $ 2,500.00 $ 5,000.00

Although MNDOT has not yet developed cost estimates for the work involved,

total costs
I recommend that the resolution be adopted, since it simply requests MNDOT

Dear Mr. Knapp:
The Consultant Designer on this project is nearing completion of the plans
for this project for an April, 1986, letting.
According to our cost participation policy, .a resolution is needed from
the City before a cooperative agreement can be prepared. Attached is a
copy of a portion of that policy which states the need for the resolution.
The resolution should indicate the willingness of the City to participate
in the cost of the project.
The Consultant should be able to furnish to me a preliminary cost estimate
for the City's share of this project in the very near future, and I will
furnish that cost to you as soon as I have it.
It is requested that you arrange for the resolution at your earliest
convenience so that preparation of the agreement is not delayed.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: 1986 SALARY PLAN
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Attached please find a copy of the Proposed 1986 Employee Position and
Classification Plan. Within this document are the various salary schedules and the
personnel expense reimbursement policy.
In 1986 I am proposing an overall increase to the salary plan of 4 %. Mr. Holmlund
and I have surveyed finance directors and city managers in the metropolitan area,
and it appears this is the general wage and fringe settlement for suburban
municipalities. Some of the communities will be in the area of 3 -1/2% on their
general increases and others will be upwards of 4 -1/2 and some even 5 %. However,
the best available information we have been able to gather is that the greatest
percentage will be very close to 4 %. Brooklyn Center has always had a policy of
keeping its salaries close to the "going rate" for given positions when comparing
them to similar positions in other organizations. It is important to keep our
salaries in line with other agencies we are competing with in the employment market.
This policy allows us to keep our capable employees and when we have openings, we can
attract capable people into our service. The cost -of- living figures most recently
available indicate the cost of living in the area increased 3.6 %. We have never
used the cost of living as an absolute guideline for setting salaries. We have
generally used a market approach, which is to take a look at what other people are
paying similar positions in other organizations and agencies. In comparing our
salaries to other community agencies and to the private sector, we have for years
used the D C A Stanton Group Survey of Twin City metropolitan area agencies. This
salary survey is sponsored jointly by the League of Cities, the Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities, the MRtropolitan Inter- County Association, the Metro
Council, and the University of Minnesota. We review our salary levels annually
with this document and make adjustments and changes based on the market data within
this survey.
We are proposing also an increase in the employer contribution to the insurance
fringe benefit area of $10 per month. This will establish the new employer
contribution at $165 per month for 1986. Again, this recommended increase is based
on the survey of what other municipalities and agencies are doing in the fringe
benefit area, and this year the increase is anticipated at $10 per month.
We are currently in negotiations with Local 49 on a joint bargaining arrangement
within the metropolitan area among 23 cities. This year I am serving as chairman of
that bargaining process, and we are hopeful that a settlement with Local 49 could
occur before the first of the year. We have also had only very preliminary
negotiations with the Police Department. It appears negotiations with them will
stretch on further into 1986. There have been settlements in the police and public
works area, and those settlements are close to the 4% salary increase and $10 on
fringe benefit insurance packages.
M&C No. 85 -14 -2- December 6, 1985
It was hoped that the comparable worth final report would be available to us to
consider as a part of the 1986 salary compensation plan. However, the complexity of
that study and the volume of work involved in it has produced delays. It will not be
available until approximately the first of the year. It will be a comprehensive
report and it may well be better that it be given separate consideration rather than
at the same time as the annual salary review. State law does not require the
muncipalities to make adjustments based on that report until 1987." Whatever
adjustments or changes are to be made, sufficient time should be taken to analyze
them carefully. Because of these time restraints we will be considering the
comparable worth study separately, probably more toward late winter or early spring
in 1986.
Other changes in the classification of employees are as follows; Position of HRA
Coordinator was created as per the 1986 adopted HRA and General Fund Budget; the
position of Purchasing /HRA Coordinator was eliminated; the position of City Clerk
was established and the position of Office Manager in the City Manager's Office was
eliminated; and the position of Deputy Clerk / Personnel Coordinator was eliminated
and the job title changed to Personnel Coordinator. Also you will find that the
Proposed Salary Plan calls for the General Fund to pay $1680 for a position of
"secretary" in the Fire Department Budget. The secretary in this budget is a
firefighter and an officer of the Relief Association who serves both the Fire
Department and the Relief Association in keeping their books and records. We have
discussed with the Relief Association and we believe the $1680 yearly salary
represents the fair compensation for the amount of work relating to Fire Department
items and the remaining cost of this position is paid for from the Relief
Association. We are also proposing change in title of the Chief Accountant's
position. We have reviewed similar positions in other communities and over the
years most of the position titles in this area have been changed to Assistant Finance
Director. While there is no change in the duties of this position, we did note that
this position was underpaid in relationship to others and there has been an
adjustment to bring it up in line with what other communities are paying this
position.
We are recommending a change in the mileage reimbursement rate from 20.5 cents per
mile to 21 cents.
Should any of the Council members have any questions regarding the items covered
above, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

ANALYSIS
The City's specifications (a complete copy is attached) provide both
detailed technical specifications for the sweeper and general provisions
which provide a description of other factors which the City will consider in
awarding the contract.
Attached hereto is a spread sheet showing various ,items of concern and each
bidder's conformance or non- conformance with those items. Our evaluation is
summarized as follows:
Re: Technical Specifications
Itasca Equipment Company's bid shows that the Athey sweeper fails to
comply to the City's specifications in several significant areas.
L -Z Truck Equipment Company's bid shows that the Johnston sweeper
fails to meet the City's specifications in a large number of
significant areas:
MacQueen Equipment, Inc.'s bid shows that the Elgin sweeper meets
the City's specifications in all areas.
Novack Enterprises Inc.'s bid shows that the Sunvac sweeper meets
the specifications with a few minor exceptions.
Re: Performance Evaluation
As noted in the specifications:
"The availability and adequacy of parts and service, and the costs
of operation and maintenance of this equipment are all important
factors which the City of Brooklyn Center will consider in making
the award of contract
Using these considerations, MacQueen Equipment, Inca must be given a
very high evaluation. Each of the other bidders has very limited
_experience in the street sweeper market and offer very limited
"parts and service facilities.
Recommendation
We recommend that the Council award the contract to MacQueen Equipment,
Inc., for their basic machine at a net total cost of $87,235.00. It is our
opinion that the GMC truck chassis provided under their basic bid is worth
more to the City that the $2,880.00 difference between that bid and
MacQueen's alternate for an International Harvester truck. The GMC truck
has a specially designed cab for the street sweeper application, whereas the
International Harvester truck is a standard cab - modified for use on a
street sweeper (see pictures of the two alternates attached). In addition,
the GMC truck is, in our opinion, a superior truck to the International
Harvester.
December 6, 1985
Page 3
If the Council chooses not to accept MacQueen's Base Bid, we then recommend
accepting MacQueen's alternate bid, because it is the lowest bid which meets
the City's specifications and because the MacQueen Company has demonstrated`
superior performance in providing parts and service availability.
Budget Consideration
The 1986 budget for the Public Works Street Division provides $90,000
($100,000 base price less $10,000 trade -in) for the purchase of a street
sweeper. Accordingly, our recommendation falls "within budget ".
A resolution is _provided for consideration by the City Council.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Jim Lindsay, Chief of Police
DATE: November 22, 1985
SUBJECT: Changes to Animal Ordinance, Chapter 1
In looking at the animal ordinance, we found a wording problem.
It seems that it only.addresses the problem of stray dogs and
allows the animal control officer to pick them up. We feel that
stray cats are also a problem that needs to be addressed in these
sections. The beginning of the ordinance defines "animal" as
"dogs and cats ". We propose to change the word "dog" in section
1 -111 to animal to cover dogs and cats. We would also need to
change section 1 -113 from , "the Animal Control Officer may
capture and impound any dog running at large, to impound
any animal running at large.
MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF
HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
NOVEMBER 21,1985
STUDY SESSION
CITY HALL
CALL TO ORDER
The Planning Commission met in study session and was called to order by Chairman
George Lucht in the Manager's Conference Room at 7:33 p.m.
ROLL CALL
Chairman George Lucht, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Mike Nelson, Carl Sandstrom,
Wallace Bernards and Ann Wallerstedt. Also present were Director of Planning and
Inspection Ronald Warren and Planner Gary Shallcross. Chairman Lucht noted that
Commissioner Ainas had called to say he would be unable to attend and was excused.
ADMINISTER OATH OF OFFICE
The Secretary then administered the Oath of Office to Commissioner Ann Wallerstedt
for the remainder of former Commissioner Nancy Manson's two year term which expires
in December of 1985.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES - October 24, 1985
Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to approve the
minutes of the October 24, 1985 Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Voting
in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Nelson, Sandstrom and Bernards. Voting
against: none. Not voting: Commissioners Malecki and Wallerstedt. The motion
passed.
RYAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY (Preliminary Review)
Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary began to review the staff
report on a conceptual plan for an office development by Ryan Construction Company
at the corner of Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive (see staff report attached).
The Secretary explained that the urgency for concluding a development contract with
Ryan Construction Company is because Ryan Construction Company is seeking
industrial revenue bond financing for the development and that they must receive
approval for this financing before the end of the year.
Commissioner Wallerstedt asked for a clarification of the location of the project.
The Secretary pointed out the location of the proposed buildings on a conceptual
site plan and the location of the property on a City map. By way of background, the
Secretary explained that the City had acquired the Earle Brown Farm and surrounding
land and that it wished to sell off or trade some of the excess land on the Farm site
to Ryan Construction for development of an office complex. He also explained that
the area south of the Farm buildings would be developed probably with a high -rise
residential development that would require a Planned Unit Development Ordinance in
effect or a rezoning of the property to R7. He also explained that the City has
adopted a tax increment financing plan for improvements in the area near the Earle
Brown Farm that will be financed by tax revenue from development in the commercial
area north of John Martin Drive and south of the freeway between Shingle Creek
Parkway and Highway 100.
Commissioner Sandstrom asked whether the housing would be for seniors. The
Secretary stated that that possibility had been discussed, but that no definite
decision had been made. He stated that some discussions had been held with Lombard
11 -21 -85 -1-
Properties regarding services for senior housing development. He also explained
that the City as having a market analysis done on possible uses for the ar m
Y F
g Y A
buildings themselves. He explained that one of the key planning concerns for
development in this area was p.m. peak hour traffic generation. He stated that the
City as agreed greed with Ryan. Construction to limit traffic generation within this
general area along Summit Drive in order to maintain an acceptable level of service.
The Secretary tated that at the first phase of the office development would not likely
create any traffic problems, but that the second phase might, depending on what
traffic levels result from surrounding development. The Secretary stated that
projecting traffic generation for a given development depends on the assumptions
for trip generation being used. He acknowledged that the assumptions used in the
traffic analysis by Short- Elliott- Hendrickson were fairly conservative and that
lower trip rates for given amounts of office space would allow for far more office
space
ce o be developed ed alon
A g Summit Drive.
The Secretary stated that Ryan Construction was running the risk that the second
phase might not be allowed because of high traffic generation from other development
in the area. He explained that the probable case taken into account in the Short-
Elliott- Hendrickson traffic analysis was for only 130,000 sq. ft. of office space on
the land in question. The Secretary explained that the City only wanted to keep the
Farm buildings and would dispose of as much of the surrounding land as possible.
The Secretary then returned to the subject of the office development layout. He
reviewed the parking and access provided to the site. He noted the proposal for a
pond between the office buildings and the Farm site. He also noted the attempt to
keep important site lines open to the Earle Brown Farm from key areas nearby. There
followed a brief discussion of the report on sight lines by Tim Erkkila of Westwood
Planning. The Secretary explained that the recommendation of the report was to
preserve certain key views of the Farm, especially that from the south which looks up
into the center of the Earle Brown Farm. He stated that the recommendation is also
to keep high -rise buildings as far away from the Farm buildings as possible and to
step them up as they recede away from the Farm site.
Commissioner Sandstrom stated that he was concerned about office development coming
into this area before the residential development took place. The Planner pointed
out that Brooklyn Center's demographic profile suggested that the greatest number
of elderly residents would take place in the 1990'3 to around the year 2000. He
stated that, therefore, the greatest benefit to Brooklyn Center would probably take
place some years hence.
The Secretary then reviewed with the Commission an aerial photograph that showed the
Farm buildings and various sight lines to the Farm site.
Chairman Lucht asked whether the proposed office development would be a multi -
tenant building or for single corporation. The Secretary responded that that had
not been definitely decided, that both possibilities had been brought out by Ryan
Construction Company. Commissioner Sandstrom stated that he was concerned
regarding the appearance of the proposed office buildings relative to the Farm
buildings. He stated that office buildings can all begin to look the same after
awhile and hoped that the new buildings would have a quality appearance that would
reflect well on the Farm. The Secretary noted that, in the past, Ryan Construction
had considered building another building very similar to the two office buildings on
the west side of Earle Brown Drive. He stated that it was likely that a glass type
office building would be built in the area immediately west of the Farm.
11 -21 -85 -2-
Commissioner Sandstrom stated that he felt the residential development could be
developed for condominiums and expressed confidence that quality development would
sell. Commissioner Nelson disagreed with the assessment that condos would be
marketable and cited the history of the Brookwood development. - Commissioner
Sandstrom pointed out that the site adjacent to the Earle Brown Farm has more
locational amenities than the Brookwood site and, if built with a quality design,
could attract buyers. The Secretary summarized the Commission's concerns as
acknowledging the basic appliance of the conceptual development plan, but with a
g � PP P P P ,
strong recommendation for attention to aesthetics and sight lines relative to the
Earle Brown Farms site.
ACTION ACKNOWLEDGING ZONING COMPLIANCE
Lotion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Nelson to acknowledge
that the conceptual plan submitted by Ryan Construction Company for a two- phase
office development immediately est of the Earle Brown Farm does meet basic zoning
g
requirements as to setbacks, buffers, parking, greenstrips, etc. Voting in favor:
Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Nelson, Sandstrom, Bernards and
Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed.
Commissioner Sandstrom, with the concurrence of other Commissioners, recommended
that attention be given to the report by Tim Erkkila and that the development be of
the highest quality.
ADJOURNYENT
Fbtion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Sandstrom to adjourn the
meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning
Commission adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

Planning Commission Inforriation Sheet
Preliminary Review for Zoning Compliance
Applicant: Ryan Construction Company
Location: umm''
S i� Drive and Earle Brown Drive
Request: Site and Building Plan /Special Use Pernit
This report is a preliminary review of a proposed high -rise office development at
the northeast corner of Summit Drive and Earle Brown Drive. No formal application
has been subnitted, but some verification of ordinance eonpiiance is necessary in
order for a development contract between Ryan Construction and the City to be con-
cluded prior to December 31. 1985. The property in question is zoned I -1 and is
bounded on the east by the Earle Brown Farm site. on the south by Summit Drive and
on the west and north by Earle Brown Drive. The concept for development is a two -
phase office development with approximately 111,000 sq. ft. of gross floor space per
phase.
The parking requirement for 111,000 sq. ft. of office is 452 spaces. In addition,
the City is negotiating the use of 40 stalls on the Ryan property as part of an
agreement o 1
g t sell the westerly portion of the Farm site to Ryan. The preliminary site
plan shoes 478 parking stalls. There is also a possibility of approximately 20 addi-
tionai stalls within the greenstrip adjacent to Earle Brown Drive. It, therefore,
appears that there will be no problem meeting parking requirements for Phase I. The
prelininary plan also shows 462 parking spaces for Phase II and a potential of about
25.30 more stalls in the greenstrip adjacent to Earle Brown Drive. Some of the
parking stalls at the northeast corner of the Phase II site will also be available
for use by the Farri site.
Staff have negotiated with Ryan Construction an understanding that development of the
second phase will be subject to a linit on traffic generation for the traffic assign -
ment zones (TAZs) south of the freeway, established in the Short - Elliott -- Hendrickson
traffic study dated May 6. 1985. The overall limit for TAZs 13. 14.15. 17 and 18
is 3,200 p.n. peak hour trips. After the first phase is built. the City will verify
traffic generation for that phase in order to, calculate what the likely traffic impact
of the second phase will be (see a memorandum from Brad Hoffman dated September
30, 1985, attached).
No landscape,. grading, utility or floor plans are yet available. The purpose of
the present review is simply to verify that parkingg, greenstrips, buffers, etc.
are likely to be net on a formally submitted development plan. The conceptual
plan provides more than required building setbacks off Summit Drive and Earle Brown
Drive. Greenstrips are at or beyond the minimum requirement. Assuming that a
high --rise residential development is built south of the Farm site, there would
normally be a buffer strip r
y p equired where an I -1 district abuts R -7 zoned property.
The buffer is to_be,50' wide. Parking is all in the buffer, provided a 15'
parking setback is provided. Those requirenents are also met in the case of the
conceptual plan presented.
Staff have also enployed the services of Tim Erkkila with Westwood Planning to
evaluate sight lines to the Earle Brown Farm site. Our desire is to preserve the
best sight lines as much as possible as new buildings are built on surrounding
sites. The conceptual plan submitted does allow the best view from the west to
be preserved. (See attached area map.)

11-21-85 _L._
,
Ryan Construction Company continued y �
An office use is a special use on the land in question since it is zoned I -1. The
primary concern in this case will be p.n. peak hour traffic generation. The first
phase of the proposed office development should easily live live within the limits
of the Short--Elliott-traffic study. The second phase will require greater scrutiny.
The Planning Comnission is requested to take an action by vote acknowledging the
basic zoning compliance of the conceptual p lan. This
J
P p not a formal recommendation
for approval since no application has yet been submitted.

Mr. Gerald Splinter
City Manager -Clerk
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center, MN 55430
Dear Mr. Splinter:
Earlier this month we informed cities that the League of Minnesota Cities and the
Minnesota Chapter of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials
( NAHRO) had joined together to support tax increment financing.
A program of analysis and representational activities was developed. This step was
taken in response to resolutions adopted by city officials who studied the possibilities
of legislative action by the legislature in 1986 and beyond. The Boards of Directors of
both the League and NAHRO reviewed the proposal and unanimously endorsed the program.
The League / NAHRO committee retained the law firm of Holmes and Graven as ,a consultant.
Pursuant to this program cities have already received a questionnaire on tax increment
- finance usage which will provide data for a comprehensive study.
City officials will recall that the League / NAHRO program is to be financed by voluntary
contributions from cities involved in tax increment finance. These contributions will
defray the direct costs of employing Holmes and Graven while the League would provide
staff and other services to the effort on behalf of the cities who will benefit from the
overall activity, but are not currently engaged in the use of tax increment finance.
This letter officially requests your financial contribution in accordance with the
enclosed invoice. Several alternatives were considered before establishing the
assessment formula. All cities which had tax increment districts in 1984 payable 1985
tax year are being asked to proportionally contribute to the cost of the program.
The two factors used are the total assessed value in tax increment districts and the
total assessed value of your city. Both of these factors have been adjusted by sales
ratio. Statewide totals for all cities using tax increment were established along with
each city's percent of that total. Half the cost of the project is assessed based on
each city's proportionate share of the total assessed value of the cities involved. The
factors used and the resulting assessments are noted in the attached list.
We sincerely hope that your city will comply with its voluntary assessment to help
preserve tax increment as a viable development tool financing in the future.
Sincerely, Sincerely,

Propst. Also present were Councilmember Bill Hawes, Director of Recreation Arnie

APPROVAL OF MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 17, 1985
There was as motion by Commissioner Skeels and seconded by Commissioner Bloomstrand
to approve the minutes of the September 17, 1985 Park and Recreation Commission
meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
PETITION REGARDING RIVERDALE PARK SKATING RINK
The Director of Recreation explained why certain skating rinks were closed in past
years. He pointed out that in 1984, the skating rink at Lions Park was put in
without a warming house, and stated that at this time there are no plans to put a
skating rink with a warming house at Riverdale Park. A resident attending the
meeting pointed out that without a warming house, there will be little activity.
The Director of Recreation noted that if the warming house at Riverdale Park is open
it would be necessary to open all warming houses. Another resident pointed out that
Evergreen Park's skating rink is not used by their children because they have to
cross T.H. 252, and the Director of Recreation said the City is aware of this
problem. One resident asked what the cost is for keeping the warming house open,
and the Director of Recreation stated the total cost would be approximately $3,500.
Commissioner Propst asked if any laws exist prohibiting the neighborhood people
from staffing the warming house or for the neighborhood to contribute the money for
the warming house. The Director of Recreation stated that past history has shown
that using volunteers does not work effectively. A resident asked if it would be
possible to open the warming house on weekends and holidays only. The Director of
Recreation stated that the Park and Recreation Commission would have to make such a
recommendation to the City Council and final action would be taken by the City
Council.
Commissioner Bloomstrand asked if any studies are still being performed on usage of
the skating rinks, and Councilmember Hawes reviewed the results of a 1982 -83 study.
The Director of Recreation noted that in 1984, Evergreen Park had the second highest
participation and Garden City Park had the lowest participation. Commissioner
Skeels asked what the condition of the present warming house is, and the Director of
Recreation stated it is in good condition.
One resident stated that the neighborhood feels that their park is being neglected,
particularly since there are no summer programs there. It was pointed out that
there are many more children in the neighborhood at this time than in recent years,
and this is the reason for the request of opening the warming house and skating rink
at Riverdale Park.
11- 19 - -85 -1-
Commissioner Bloomstrand asked what the cost would be to open the warming house on
weekends and holidays only (which would also include when children are out of school
for Christmas vacation), and the Director of Recreation approximated the cost at
$1,500. He added that if Riverdale Park is opened during these times, the residents
around Lions Park will also make the same request Commissioner Peterson pointed
out that opening of the warming house will be predicated on whether or not the City
Council has money to spend on this.
A resident requested that special funding be provided for opening the warming house
at Riverdale Park this winter on weekends and holidays only. It was also requested
that statistics be kept that will hopefully prove the neighbors correct and allow
for full budgeting of the warming house in 1987. The Director of Recreation stated
that the City bases its decision to keep certain warming houses open based on the
usage. One resident asked if the warming house is not open, whether or not the
lights at the skating rink would still be turned on, and the Director of Recreation
stated they would be. Commissioner Skeels noted that he has seen a change in his
neighborhood in the last five years, as there are more children living there. He
supports making a recommendation to the City Council that the warming houses at
Riverdale and Lions Parks be opened for weekends and holidays this winter.
One resident spoke against the use of volunteers, pointing to the liability
involved. The Director of Recreation agreed with this statement. Commissioner
Propst asked if there is enough interest in the neighborhood for the residents to
fund this program. A resident stated that if the neighborhood is expected to fund
the warming house, then it would be necessary to ask other residents around other
parks to do the same. He added that this situation should not be isolated.
Chairman Sorenson added that it is not practical to request residents to fund the
program. He suggested that the opening of Riverdale Park be made a pilot program,
and if successful the program may continue.
There was a motion by Commissioner Peterson and seconded by Commissioner
Bloomstrand to open the Riverdale Park skating rink and warming house on weekends
and holidays for the 1985 -86 winter.
Commissioner Skeels asked Councilmember Hawes how the City Council would feel about
this recommendation, and Councilmember Hawes stated that it may be possible to find
some additional money for this.
There was a motion by Commissioner Manson and seconded by Commissioner Bloomstrand
to amend Commissioner Peterson's motion to include Lions Park in the recommendation
to the City Council.
Commissioner Skeels stated he disagrees with the amendment as it may hurt the effort
of opening Riverdale Park. Commissioners Bloomstrand, Peterson, and Propst agreed
with the amendment. Upon vote being taken on the amendment, the motion passed
unanimously.
Upon vote being taken on the amended motion, the motion passed unanimously.
RECESS
The Park and Recreation Commission recessed at 8:15 p.m. and reconvened at 8:20 p.m.
Chairman Sorenson introduced the newest member of the Park and Recreation
Commission, Mr. Larry Propst.

UPDATE ON GOLF COURSE PROPOSAL FOR LIONS PARK WEST AREA
The Director of Recreation reviewed Fh the golf course project
and stated that the opening date of the golf course has been ushed back to the spring
P P g
of 1988. Commissioner Propst 9 P st com laine
d about several holes in th
P 1 e area o
P f the
proposed golf course that have not yet been filled in and asked what would be done
with the Little League ball fields. The Director of Recreation responded saying
that the Major Little League field would be used in 1986 and the Lions Park field will
not be used. He added that the new ball fields should be ready in 1987.
Commissioner Propst expressed concern that the loud speakers at the ball fields will
f create noise pollution, and the Director of Recreation stated there will be one
speaker behind home plate at the Major League field. Commissioner Propst asked if
this loud speaker will be controlled by the City, and the Director of Recreation
stated it may not be, unless specific complaints are received from the neighborhood.
Commissioner Peterson asked how many hours per day the loud speakers will be used,
and the Director of Recreation stated that normally the fields are used for 3-4
hours, from 6:00 p.m. until dark in the summer.
Commissioner Propst stated that he did not see a practice area included in the
proposal for the golf course, and the Director of Recreation said that there will be
a practice green but there is no room for anything more than that. Commissioner
Propst noted that the parking lot seems large, and the Director of Recreation
pointed out that the clubhouse will also be used during the winter months for
meetings, and the additional parking may be necessary.
The Director of Recreation noted that a golf course manager will be hired for 1987.
Commissioner Propst asked if the City plans to sell season tickets for the golf
course, and the Director of Recreation stated that plans have not reached that point
yet. Commissioner Propst asked what is happening with the dirt being delivered to
the golf course site, and the Director of Recreation noted that the City purchased
the excess dirt from the Target site and the dirt is being moved at this time.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Director of Recreation noted that the swimming pool is now open again, as well as
the sauna. Councilmember Hawes asked if the new sports club on Highway 100 and
France Avenue North has hurt the usage at the Community Center, and the Director of
Recreation said that he does not think it has.
The Director of Recreation stated that the City sponsored a Halloween party with 250
participants, adding that it was very successful for a first time event for the City.
Commissioner Skeels asked if the City has turned off the fountain in the pond at
Central Park yet, and the Director of Recreation responded affirmatively.
Commissioner Propst asked if any progress is being made on the Fine Arts
subcommittee. The Director of Recreation noted that this is called the
Entertainment in the Parks subcommittee, and the City has budgeted some money for
this. He added that the City is also planning to purchase a portable stage unit, and
planning has started for summer programming.
The Director of Recreation noted that the City has experienced a streak of vandalism
in the parks, and City staff will be working with the Crime Prevention Fund in an
effort to curb some of this acitivity. Members of the Commission discussed the
situation of vandalism in the parks and possible alternatives for what may be done.

To the Attention of:
Brooklyn Center Parks and Recreation Department
We the residents of the Riverdale Park area enthusiastically
request your consideration in re- opening the skating facilities
(ice rink and warming house) at our neighborhood park.
The obvious dangers involved in crossing West River Road
does not make the Evergreen Park facility a practical alterna-
tive for our children. In previous years the warming house was
irregularly,staffed and somewhat difficult to predict the hours
of operation. We feel this situation contributed to the lower
usage and subsequent closing of our rink.
It appears that the school age population in our area has
increased within the last couple of years. This fact would _indi-
cate adequate expected usage during the winter season. Also,
the response generated by this petition reflects positive neigh -
borhood support for this project.
As you formulate the winter park activities, please include
Riverdale Park in your 1985/86 plans.
Respectfully submitted,

RIVERDALE SKATING RINK'
We, the undersigned, would like the Brooklyn Center Park and

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: James Lindsay, Chief of Police
DATE: December 3, 1985
SUBJECT: Gambling License
We have received the first request for a gambling license off-
site to be held in a liquor establishment. The City Council has
� Y ,
under State Statute, the basic consideration as to whether or not
they will allow charitable gambling at the site of a liquor
license holder. If that answer is negative, that will preclude
charitable organizations from even submitting an application. If
the answer is positive, then the City Council must determine each
license at the time of application. There is a thirty (30) day
period for the Council to respond. In the event they take no
action in responding, the State will automatically issue the
gambling license.
V. K. Arrigoni, Inc. has requested a charitable gambling license
to operate at the Lynbrook Bowl. Steve Nelson was informed that
V. K. Arrigoni, Inc. operated a halfway treatment house for
alcoholics. Our investigator discovered the house did not
involve treatment and was nothing more than a flop house for
drunks. A copy of Monteen's resume is attached. After reviewing
the information with Mr. Nelson, he withdrew the rental lease
With V. K. Arrigoni, Inc.
The problem still in front of us is that the State Gambling
Commissioner will issue a license to V. K. Arrigoni, Inc. unless
the Brooklyn Center City Council denies the license within the
thirty (30) day waiting period. I recommend the City Council
deny this license as the Lynbrook has withdrawn the lease from V.
K. Arrigoni, Inc.
The following is a resume of the investigation of Case No. 85- 18267, a
Minnesota Charitable Gambling Control Board Gambling License Application
for a Class B License allowing raffles, paddlewheels, tipboards and
Pull-tabs. According to this application, the site of such activity is
to be the Lynbrook Bowling Alley, 6357 North Lilac Drive, Brooklyn
Center, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The Gambling Manager is to be one
Paul N. ZENGERLE. This investigation has been conducted by Investigator
A. Paul MONTEEN, and this resume transcribed and typewritten by Lori
NOVAK, clerk typist for the Brooklyn Center Police Department.

Investigator MONTEEN, regarding the status of the organization.

(a) (2) for tax exempt charitable foundations.
A copy of a letter dated January 3, 1983 from M. L. TREBIANI, Tax
Examiner, Income Tax Division, Taxpayer Service, The State of Minnesota,
Department of Revenue, granting tax exempt status to V. K. ARRIGONI,
Inc.
A copy of Form 9900, Return of Organization Exempt Tax Income, dated
1984, filed June 30, 1985 in the name of V. K. ARRIGONI, Inc.
Resume by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 85 -18267 Page 2
Investigator MONTEEN received a copy of the Gambling License Application
made to the Minnesota Charitable Gambling Control Board. This
application advises that V. K. ARRIGONI, Inc. has made application to
the Minnesota Charitable Gambling Control Board for the purpose of
operating raffles, paddlewheels, tipboards or pull -tabs at 6357 North
Lilac Drive, the Lynbrook Bowl, which is located within the City of
Brooklyn Center, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Furthermore, this
application indicates that Paul N. ZENGERLE will be the Gambling Manager
and that a $10,000 fidelity bond required by State Statute has been
obtained through United Fire and Casualty, #51- 58993.
Investigator MONTEEN has reviewed the facts and circumstances of this
application by reading the application and by speaking with Virginia K.
ARRIGONI, President of the corporation, and Robert SHEY, an attorney and
corporate officer. Furthermore, Investigator MONTEEN has spoken with
Mr. Dick DAVITT, a representative of Hight and Schmidt, Inc., Gambling
Consultants of 460 Park Meadows Drive, Waite Park, MN 56387, phone
(612) 431 -6380.
Investigator MONTEEN has found that V. K. ARRIGONI, Inc. operates two
(2) residential housing units in Ramsey and Hennepin Counties, that
being a residence at 255 Summit Avenue in St. Paul and 508 University
Avenue S.E. in Minneapolis. These houses are intended to assist
_ individuals with alcohol related problems in obtaining residence when
they can find no alternative housing. Investigator MONTEEN asked
specifically if any treatment was provided at these residences, a
question which received vague answers and indicated that no formal
treatment was available.
The history of the organization would appear that the Resolution and
Bylaws of the organization were formed on September 7, 1981, and
Articles of Incorporation were filed on July 8, 1981. The Articles of
Incorporation were subsequently amended on May 28, 1982 and April 23,
1982 for the purpose of establishing the nonprofit nature of the
organization and the distribution of funds in the event of the
dissolution.of the corporation. The corporation obtained a tax exempt
status from the State of Minnesota on January 3, 1983 and from the
Department of Internal Revenue on November 30, 1982. It would appear
that V. K. ARRIGONI, Inc. has complied with the Internal Revenue Service
in filing the Form 990, a Return of Organizations Exempt From Income
Tax, as a copy has been submitted to Investigator MONTEEN.
According to the laws of the State of Minnesota and the ordinances of
the City of Brooklyn Center, an organization making application for a -
Gambling License must have thirty (30) or more active members.
Investigator MONTEEN presented the question of membership to V. K.
ARRIGONI and Robert SHEY and Investigator MONTEEN was advised that there
was the membership of the Board of Directors and minimal employees,
possibly totaling six or seven in membership, plus individuals who use
the residential facilities of ARRIGONI's homes. According to Virginia
Resume by Investigator MONTEEN Case No. 85- 18267 Page 3
ARRIGONI, there were seven members and eight or nine employees.
According to Robert SHEY, there were three or four members of the Board
of Directors and two employees.
Investigator MONTEEN did obtain criminal history checks in the name of
Virginia Katherine ARRIGONI and Paul Nicholas ZENGERLE and found that
they had no record of criminal activity in the MINCIS or NCIC computers,
nor any contact of a criminal nature with local law enforcement
authorities. Furthermore, both held valid Class C driver's licenses in
the State of Minnesota.
Investigator MONTEEN in reviewing this license application, finds that
the organization has in fact been in existence longer than the required
; three (3) consecutive years, however, Investigator MONTEEN finds that
the organization does not have the required thirty (30) active members
and MONTEEN believes that the application indicating thirty -five (35)
members is both incorrect and deceptive. Investigator MONTEEN does find
that they have established a status of a nonprofit foundation and have
complied with required reporting to the Charities Control Board of the
State of Minnesota, and that according to the Charities Control Board,
phone 339 -5030, they are registered, file regularly and have had no
problems in their previous fund raising. The Charities Control Board
did indicate that their operating costs had been well within their
required 30 percent of funds raised at 21.6 percent, however, the noted
that no public funds have been previously obtained. Furthermore,
y
Investigator MONTEEN finds that they have filed the required Form 990
with the Internal Revenue Service.
Investigator MONTEEN refers this resume to the City Council for review
and appropriate action.
MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
FROM: Jim Lindsay, Chief of Police
DATE: December 6, 1985
SUBJECT: Liquor License Renewal for Ground Round
At this point, we are requesting that the license renewal for
Ground Round be considered by the City Council. We were unable
to consider this renewal at the time the other establishments
were considered as Ground Round was undergoing their corporate
restructuring which necessitated a new license. Until a new
license was granted, they could not apply for a renewal for 1986.
As the new corporation is now completed, they have paid the fee
and applied for PP r the renewal for
1986. The City Ordinance allows
us to determine if we feel a probationary license is necessary or
if the previous figures for an establishment can be used to place
them in a category for a license. In this case, we feel the
nature of business on the site will not change considerably, so
they should be allowed to continue with a Class B license (food
50% to 79 %).
They should therefore be considered for a Class B On -Sale
Intoxicating Liquor License and an On -Sale Sunday license.
Licenses to be approved by the City Council on December 9, 1985
