REQUEST FOR RISK MANAGEMENT AUDIT The City Manager stated that the Risk Management Audit would give the City an overall review of the City's insurance coverage. The Director of Finance stated that the City has never had an independent audit done of the City's Risk Management Program. He noted that this audit would point out weaknesses in the 10 -27 -86 -3- City's current program. Councilmember Hawes inquired if it would be possible that the City's premiums would go down. The Director of Finance stated that the City's premiums could go down due to changes in deductibles or by negotiating with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust for lower premiums. Councilmember Hawes inquired if it would be possible for the premiums to rise in cost. The Director of Finance responded negatively. The Director of Finance briefly reviewed the different options and the costs noted for these options. He stated that he would like to negotiate with the company for a formal written audit report in conjunction with option No. 3. The Director of Finance stated that the funding for this audit could come from the umbrella coverage account since umbrella coverage has never been obtained for the City. Councilmember Scott inquired when the City Council would receive the first report. The Director of Finance stated that if the consulting firm was hired now, the Council should have the first report by the end of January, 1987. He added that he would like to ask the firm for a new proposal but would not do so if the Council were not interested. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Scott to authorize the Director of Finance to obtain new proposals regarding a Risk Management Audit. REPORT ON STATUS OF PARK BOND PROJECTS The City Manager briefly reviewed the memorandum which had been prepared for this agenda item. He stated that 90% of the improvements have been installed with some minor modifications.

PLANNING COMMISSION ITEM PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 86023 SUBMITTED BY BROOKLYN CENTER BAPTIST CHURCH REQUESTING AMENDED APPROVAL OF THE SITE AND BUILDING PLANS AND SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR A GYMNASIUM ADDITION TO THE BROOKLYN CENTER BAPTIST CHURCH AT 5840 HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH The City Manager stated that this amendment would allow a rock face concrete block exterior rather than the brick exterior originally proposed. He added that the item was recommended for denial by the Planning Commission at its 10 -27 -86 -4- October 16, 1986 meeting. The Director of Planning & Inspection referred the Council to pages one through three of the October 16, 1986 Planning Commission minutes and the attached informational sheet attached with those minutes. He proceeded to review the application and noted that original approval had been given on June 23, 1986. He stated that the church has taken bids on the project and that the bids have been quite high due to the cost of brick exterior. He stated that the architect is proposing a rock face block to hold the cost down. He went on to explain the City's policy on consistency for exterior treatments for building additions. He noted that some flexibility exists when the original exterior treatment is impossible to match. He stated that two motions had been made at the October 16, 1986 Planning Commission meeting, and that the Commission was divided on both motions. The first motion was to recommend approval of the amendment and it failed with a three to four vote. The second motion was to recommend denial because of inconsistency and the motion passed by a four to three vote. He added that a public hearing has been scheduled for this evening's meeting and notices have been sent. Councilmember Lhotka stated that in reviewing the examples that the Planning Department prepared for the meeting, he wondered how Brooklyn Christian Center had been approved for the rock face exterior. The Director of Planning & Inspection stated that the existing church at that time had two distinct types of brick already on the building, and the decision was made to allow the rock face concrete block as opposed to a third type of brick face. He also noted that this addition was not connecting two buildings. Mayor Nyquist inquired of the City Attorney if the City Council has the authority to dictate exterior treatments. The City Attorney stated that the ordinances do not set any standards or give authority to the Council to dictate the type of exterior treatments, but sufficient language is contained in the ordinances to allow Council to place conditions on approval regarding exterior treatments. He stated that the Council will have to make a judgment as to whether there is sufficient public interest in maintaining the consistency policy within the community. Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 86023 submitted by Brooklyn Center Baptist Church. Councilmember Theis asked for an explanation of the difference between rock face concrete block and brick exterior. Mayor Nyquist recognized Al Graser, Chairman of the Building Committee, who stated that rock face concrete block is basically a concrete texturized block which would be painted to match the existing brick work. He stated that the proposal for rock face concrete would save the church approximately $19,000. Councilmember Theis asked how often the block would have to be painted to maintain the same color. Mr. Graser stated it would have to be painted every 10 to 15 years. Councilmember Theis inquired if the cost for maintenance over the years could be justified as compared to the cost of the brick face. Mr. Graser stated that the architect has stated that the maintenance cost would not be that high. Mayor Nyquist then recognized Dale Lindberg, Brooklyn Center Baptist Church moderator, who stated that the church will most likely have to do without a kitchen, showers, carpeting and other things that possibly, could be added later in order to put the brick face on the addition. 10 -27 -86 -5- There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to close the public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 86023. Councilmember Lhotka stated that he understands the church's financial position, but is not happy about putting decorative block in a residential area. Mayor Nyquist stated that he has a problem with the Council dictating the type of exterior. Councilmember Theis inquired if the Council could set conditions for keeping the block maintained and the color matching the brick. The City Manager stated that the present maintenance code only affects residential areas, and that there are no aesthetic ordinances to dictate the color. There was a brief review of the plans for the addition. There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka to deny the amendment for Planning Commission Application No. 86023. The motion failed due to the lack of a second There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Mayor Nyquist to approve the pp amendment for Planning Commission Application No. 86023 submitted by Brooklyn Center Baptist Church. Councilmember Theis stated that this is a very difficult decision for him because he was not sure what would be right for the community and the church. Councilmember Hawes inquired if it would be possible to table this item for two weeks to have the time to look at the other buildings and make some comparisons. Mayor Nyquist inquired how this action would affect the church. The Director of Planning &Inspection stated that the Planning Department has issued permits for the footings and that the only decision left to be made was the 'outside treatment of the building. He added that the church has agreed to abide by the Council's decision. Mr. Graser stated that the church would prefer a decision this evening, even if it is an adverse decision. Councilmember Scott stated that she did not believe the Council could deny the church this amendment when the Council has allowed the same type of amendment to someone else Upon vote being taken on the foregoing motion, the following voted in favor thereof: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Scott and Theis; and the following voted against: Councilmember Hawes and Lhotka. The motion passed. RESOLUTIONS (CONTINUED) The City Manager presented a Resolution Amending the 1986 General Fund Budget and Approving Repair of the Heating System at the City Maintenance Garage.

Holmlund, Director of Finance DATE: November 4, 1986 SUBJECT: RISK MANAGEME C SERVICES PROPOSAL At the October 20th meeting, the City Council discussed a; proposal for risk management consulting services from American Risk Services, Inc.. This was a proposal that originally was requested by me and submitted by American Risk in 1985. The Council responded favorably to the proposal and author- ized us to request an up -dated proposal that would provide the City a choice' between (1) a Risk Management Audit and (2) Continuing Counsel Service which would include a risk management audit. I requested the new proposals and received them yesterday. I have attached them to this memorandum. The two proposals are summarized as follows: (1) RISK MANAGEMENT AUDIT The consultant would identify and quantify the City's risks and analyze our current risk management /insurance program. The consultant would accomplish this by: - examining our list of properties and appraisals - analyze values and types of past losses for five years - examining insurance and other contracts - touring our key facilities meeting with our key personnel The consultant would then present us with a formal report out- lining their findings and recommendations. The report will contain comments and recommendations to enhance our risk management program. The cost for this service would be $9,300. s Memorandum to Gerald G. Splinter November 4, 1986 Page Two (2) CONTINUING COUNSEL SERVICE This service mould include everything contained in Option (1) plus: specifications and remarketing twelve months of continuing counsel service to the City. These services would include: develop a claims management system - represent the City at administrative hearings - assist in developing a risk management information system coordinate loss prevention activities - assist, on a day --to -day basis, in managing risk management and insurance programs. The cost for this service would be $15,000. It is my recommendation that we ask the City Council to accept the proposal for the risk management audit (Option (1)).. I believe the appropriate, action for the City Council would be to adopt a motion to "Accept the proposal of American Risk Services, Inc. to provide a risk management audit at a cost of $9,300 to be paid from the Unallocated Departmental Expenses Insurance appropriation.

We propose to provide Continuing Counsel Services. CONTINUING COUNSEL SERVICE Risk management services can be provided on an ongoing basis.

Mr. Paul W. Holmlund -2- October 30, 1986 City of Brooklyn Center Our professional staff will assist you in managing your risk management and insurance programs on a day -to -day, as needed basis. RISK MANAGEMENT AUDIT A. Objective The goal of risk management is the preservation, of the assets and stability of the entity which can become impaired by a number of physical perils as well as by legal- liabilities. Our risk management audit includes identifying and quantifying the risks of the City, as well as analyses of and recommendations of your current risk management /insurance program; Upon completion of the audit, your program can be fine -tuned to respond predictably to losses. In addition, you will be more knowledgeable of the risk management /insurance function, and specifically how to best finance the risks and how to most efficiently utilize the services of your insurance agent and carriers. B. Scope and Methodology Identification Every entity is exposed to potential losses which can adversely affect its financial strength and stability. Some of the exposures are obvious, such as fire, wind and hail damage to buildings, and employee injuries and liability. However, less obvious exposures can have a devastating effect on your financial status. Identifying the exposures is a key phase, albeit a difficult process because of the multitude of risk potentials. No single identification method will cause all exposures to surface; therefore, we rely on several methods. Our audit process begins with you and our consultants completing a questionnaire, which has a two -fold purpose. First, it provides us with an overview of the City, and second, it prompts meaningful dialogue, which serves to bring other exposures to the surface. Other exposures can be derived from: list of properties and appraisals values and types of past losses for five years - financial statements insurance policies and endorsements - other contracts (e.g. , purchase order, leases, and other agreements) - service flow diagrams - touring your key facility - meeting with your key personnel' } 1 t American Risk Services, Inc. Mr. Paul W. Hoimlund -3- October 30, 1986 City of Brooklyn Center Quantifying the Risk Once the risks have been identified, we would proceed to estimate the potential losses associated with those risks. We will estimate the projected frequency and severity of losses based upon historical experience as well as incorporating subjective factors that will affect future claims experience. These subjective factors include changes in your operation and long -range planning goals. From the statistical measurements we will quantify and investigate various funding methods, including self - funding possibilities, and the reasonableness of deductibles. Evaluation This phase involves an evaluation of the methods you are currently using to treat your risks, to which we will comment and provide recommendations for change if appropriate. Initially,, we will address those risks which are currently untreated which may not have been considered a risk prior to the identification phase. For each risk we will review your current risk treatment and risk financing techniques. Risk treatment encompasses avoidance, control, transfer and contingency planning. Important issues include: • Is the City engaging in activities for which the risk outweighs the municipal service benefits? • Is the degree of loss control adequate? Can it be improved? • Are emergency or disaster recovery plans in effect if buildings or equipment are damaged? • Is the City prepared for the loss of key personnel? • Can the activity be modified to minimize the risk? • Can the risk be transferred, via a hold - harmless agreement? For those risks which cannot be treated appropriately with avoidance, control, or transfer strategies, risk financing will be considered. Risk financing involves retentions - (funded and unfunded) and insurance (deductibles, excess, cash flow ,plans, etc.) Salient issues are: • Would retentions or higher_ deductibles be cost effective? • Are existing policy limits adequate or excessive? • Are claims being handled effectively? • Is the City taking full advantage of risk financing plans which provide cash flow benefits? American Risk Services, Inc. Mr. Paul W. Holmlund -4- October 30, 1986 City of Brooklyn Center o Do the insurance policies contain any gaps or overlaps? o Are there any deficiencies in the policy language? • Are the classification codes for rating purposes accurate? • Is the agent /insurer providing adequate service? • Are the Workers' Compensation classification rating codes accurate? For each risk we will develop the best treatment, considering the financial position and the risk attitudes of the City. Report As a result of our study, we will author a report outlining our findings and recommendations. Initially, we will author a preliminary draft that we will review with you. From these- discussions, we will generate and provide you with one unbound original and two bound copies of the final report. The report will contain comments and recommendations to enhance your Risk Management program. Analysis of financing alternatives will be provided in the report as well as the computation of costs, cash flow plans and present value calculations for various funding alternatives. The results will be presented in a,clear, meaningful manner to facilitate your decision process. We are committed to quality service. Each report undergoes several revisions, and is subjected to peer review before being presented to you. During the project, we will assist you in implementing our recommendations either directly or indirectly with your agent and /or carriers. C. Benefits Selected benefits you can expect are: • You will be more aware of the overall operations of the City and the risk inherent in the municipal area. • You will be more familiar with alternative funding mechanisms and statistical measuring procedures. • You will be better equipped to utilize the services of your agent and carriers. • You will better a good understanding of the workings of the insurance marketplace. American Risk Services, Inc. Mr. Paul W. Holmlund -5- October 30, 1986 City of Brooklyn Center SPECIFICATIONS AND REMARKE American Risk Services will, if necessary, design an insurance program and develop specifications as a product of information gained from the Risk Management Audit and discussions with you concerning the City's status and plans. The written specifications will detail the required insurance program in a form understandable to the insurance community. The specifications will cause the agents /brokers and carriers to provide options such as coverage, deductibles, retention limits and services. Each bidder/ carrier will be required to provide specimen policies for our review. Agent /broker bids will be ranked for policy provisions, policy costs, insurance services, and the insurer's financial _status.

Holmlund Director of Finance CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430 SUBJECT: Proposal for Risk Management Consulting Professional Services Dear Mr. Holmlund: American Risk Services, Inc. is pleased to submit this proposal for risk management services. We are --not affiliated or aligned with any agent, insurance company or provider; consequently, we can assess Brooklyn Center's program objectively and represent you in an unbiased manner. In accordance with your request we are providing a quotation for a Risk Management Audit, to review your program for appropriateness and adequacy. I. Risk Management Audit A. Objective The goal of risk management is the preservation of the assets and stability of the entity, which can become impaired by a number of physical perils as well as by legal liabilities. Our risk management audit includes identifying and quantifying the risks of the City, as well as analyses of and recommendations to your current risk management/ insurance program. Upon completion of the audit, your program can be fine -tuned to respond predictably to losses. In addition, you will be more knowledgeable of the risk management/ insurance function, and specifically how to best finance the risks and how to most efficiently utilize the services of your insurance agent and carriers. American Risk Services, Inc. Mr. Paul W. Holmlund -2- October 31, 1986 City of Brooklyn Center B. Scope and Methodology Identification Every entity is exposed to potential losses which can adversely affect, its strength and .stability. Some of the exposures are obvious, such as fire, wind, and hail damage to buildings, and employee injuries and liability. However, less obvious exposures can have a devastating effect on your financial status. Identifying the exposures is a key phase, albeit a difficult process because of the multitude of risk potentials. No single identification method will cause all exposures to surface; therefore, we rely on several methods. Our audit process begins with you and our consultants completing a questionnaire, which has a two -fold purpose. First, it provides us with an overview of the City, and second, it prompts meaningful dialogue, which serves to bring other exposures to the surface. Other exposures can be derived from: o list of properties and appraisals o values and types of past losses for five years o financial statements o insurance policies with endorsements 0 other contracts (i.e. purchase order, leases and other agreements) o service flow diagrams o touring your key facility o meeting with your key personnel Quantifying the Risk Once the risks have been identified, we would proceed to estimate the potential losses associated with those risks. We will estimate the projected frequency and severity of losses based upon historical experience as well as incorporating subjective factors that will affect future claims experience. These subjective factors include changes in your operation and long -range planning goals. From the statistical measurements we will quantify and investigate various funding methods, including self- funding possibilities, and the reasonableness of deductibles. Evaluation This phase involves an evaluation of the methods you are currently using to treat your risks to which we will comment and provide recommendations for change if appropriate. Initially we will address those risks which are currently untreated which may not have been considered a risk prior to the identification phase. American Risk Services, Inc. Mr. Paul W. Holmlund -3- October 31, 1986 City of Brooklyn Center For each risk we will review your current risk treatment and risk financing techniques. Risk treatment encompasses avoidance, control, transfer and contingency planning. Important issues include: Is the City engaging in activities for which the risk outweighs the municipal service benefits? - Is the degree of loss control adequate? Can it be improved? - Are emergency.or.disaster recovery plans.in effect if buildings or equipment are damaged? - Is the City prepared for the loss of key personnel? - Can the activity be modified to minimize the risk? Can the risk be transferred, via a hold - harmless agreement? For those risks which cannot be treated appropriately with avoidance, control, or transfer strategies, risk financing will be considered. Risk financing involves retentions (funded and . unfunded) and insurance (deductibles, excess, cash flow plans, etc. -) Salient issues are: - Would retentions or higher deductibles be cost effective? - Are existing policy limits adequate or excessive? - Are claims being handled effectively? Is the City taking full advantage of risk financing plans which provide cash flow benefits? - Do the insurance policies contain any gaps or overlaps? Are there any deficiencies in the policy language? - Are the classification codes for rating purposes accurate? - Is the agent /insurer providing adequate services? - Are the Workers' Compensation classification rating codes accurate. For each risk we will develop the best treatment, considering the financial position and the risk attitudes of the City. a i American Risk Services, Inc. Mr. Paul W. Holmlund -4- October 31, 1986 City of Brooklyn Center Report As a result of our study, we will author a report outlining our findings and recommendations. Initially, we will author a preliminary draft that we will review with you. From these discussions, we will generate and provide you with one unbound original and two bound copies of the final report. The report will contain comments and recommendations to enhance your Risk Management program. Analysis of financing alternatives will be provided in the report as well as the computation of: costs, cash flow plans and present value calculations for various funding alternatives. The results will be presented in a clear, meaningful manner to facilitate your decision process. We are committed to quality service. Each report undergoes several revisions, and is subjected to peer review before being presented to you. Upon completion of the project, we will assist you in implementing our recommendations either directly or indirectly with your agent and /or carriers. C. BENEFITS Selected benefits Y ou can expect are: - You will be more aware of the specific operations of the City and the risk - inherent in the municipal area. - You will be more familiar with alternative funding mechanisms and statistical measuring procedures. - You will be better equipped to utilize the services of your agent and carriers. - You will have a better understanding of the workings of the insurance marketplace. • SCHEDULE We have set aside time periods in our schedule for approximately three months, beginning November 17, 1986, to perform your Risk Management audit.

Splinter, City Manager FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: November 6, 1986 RE: Resolution Approving Private Sale of Tax Forfeited Property The City recently received a notice from the Hennepin County Property Tax and Public Records Division notifying us that a small parcel of property adjacent to the Northport School (see attached sketch) has been classified as tax forfeited property. A review of our records and subsequent discussion with Hennepin County indicates that this property was forfeited for nonpayment of taxes in the mid- 1960's. Subsequently, the property was acquired for private use, then was forfeited for nonpayment of taxes a second time. A some point in time the City of Brooklyn Center apparently requested that the parcel be withheld from public sale. However, there is no record of why this action was taken by the City. Recently, Dr. Duane Orn, owner of the Northport Medical Center, which is adjacent to the tax delinquent parcel has indicated to Ron Warren that he is intending to proceed with the acquisition of this tax delinquent parcel. (See attached letter from Dr. Orn dated October 28, 1986.) If the City determines that the parcel is unbuildable by itself and that it can only be used by combination with other adjoining parcels, the City may then adopt a resolution approving the sale of the parcel to one of the adjoining property owners. However, the City may not specify which of those property owners the parcel should be sold to. Ron Warren has reviewed this particular parcel and has made the determination that the parcel is unbuildable by itself. Attached hereto is a resolution for consideration by the City Council.

RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES TO CONTROL THE WILD GOOSE POPULATION IN CENTRAL PARK WHEREAS, the number of wild geese which inhabit Central Park in the City of Brooklyn Center has dramatically increased to the point of becoming a nuisance and a public health problem; and WHEREAS, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (D.N.R.) has developed a program to assist communities in controlling the population of wild geese in certain areas :` NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota that: 1. The City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to request the D.N.R. to develop a proposed program for control of the wild goose population within Central Park. 2. The City Manager and the D.N.R. are requested to submit the proposed program to the City Council for review and consideration. 3. The City Manager and the D.N.R. are requested to prepare an agreement defining the proposed program and the estimated costs thereof for submittal tal to and consideration b the h City y Council Date Mayor ATTEST: Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. CITY 6301 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY OF B ROOKLYN BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA 55430 TELEPHONE 561 -5440 13 1 ENTER EMERGENCY- POLICE - FIRE 914 TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: October 27, 1986 RE: Control of Goose Population in the Central Park Area As you know, the number of geese which have nested, hatched and grown in the Central Park area has rapidly increased during the last several years. During this past summer the number of geese in Central Park was estimated to be about 100. During recent weeks that population has almost doubled as additional geese arrived. The number of geese now in Central Park is causing serious problems including the harassment of people using the Plaza area, large volumes of goose droppings which create a serious nuisance in the park, in the parking lots, on the sidewalks, etc During recent'-weeks we have been een required to use the litter picker to pick goose droppings from the athletic fields and from the park areas and we have used street sweepers and flushers to flush droppings from the parking lots and sidewalks. In general, the presence of this number of geese has seriously eroded the environment of Central Park. On October 24, 1986 I contacted Mr. Roger Johnson, Regional Wildlife Supervisor for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to review this matter with him and to request his assistance in resolving the problem. Mr. Johnson advised that, while the problem is a difficult one, steps can be taken to reduce the problem over a period of time, Mr. Johnson indicated that the additional geese which appear in the fall of the year are "teenagers" who we g re robabl born and raised ' in this P his area then hen migrated to Canada but annually use this as a rest stop on their return trip south. Mr. Johnson indicated that during this time of year it is virtually impossible to do anything to handle the problem. Harassing techniques (noise explosives, decoys, etc.) have very limited success. However, Mr. Johnson did indicate that considerable success has been accomplished by the method of trapping young goslings during late June or early July and transporting them to a new home. This method has been employed successfully as Golden Valley and at a number of other cities within the metropolitan area. Mr. Johnson indicated that the D.N.R. will agree to conduct .a goose reduction program if requested to do so by resolution of the City Council wherein the city agrees to reimburse the D.N.R. for the cost of the NUML.MUM.GN October 27, 1986 Page 2 program. Although Mr. Johnson indicated that it is very difficult to estimate those costs he did give me a preliminary estimate of $1,000 per year. If the City Council adopts a resolution and instructs the City Manager to negotiate an agreement with the D.N.R., the D.N.R. would then contact Dr. James Cooper from the University of Minnesota who has conducted numerous such programs successfully and have Dr. Cooper meet with the City to review, discuss and establish a proposed program. As I understand it, Dr. Cooper would conduct the trapping program, then turn the geese over to the D.N.R. for transplantation to another area. Note: Attached hereto is a copy of an article which appeared in the Minneapolis Star on October 23 1986 which describes Dr. Cooper and contains considerable information regarding the problem of the expanding goose population within the metro area. Mr. Johnson did note that the type of program described above can be successful but that it does take approximately three years to achieved the desired results. During the interim it can be expected that the goose population may increase. Additional information regarding these expectations would be received from Dr.' Cooper if the City elects to submit a request for assistance to the D.N.R. Attached hereto is a resolution for consideration by the City Council.

Splinter, City Manager FROM: Jim Lindsay, Chief of Police DATE: November 3, 1986 SUBJECT: Proposal to Purchase Bullet -Proof Vests for Members of the Police Department a tment Some time ago the police department considered the purchase of bullet -proof vests for all sworn personnel. As you know, five vests were purchased for officers to wear for a trial period of time to determine the wear comfort. At that time, using that particular vest, it was believed only about 30% would wear them on a daily basis. Since that time advancements have been made with the vests in how they relate to the wear comfort. It is believed that with the new design, the acceptance level would be near 75 %. With the recent shooting of the Minneapolis Police Officer, we have reviewed our position on this matter. At this time, I am prepared to require all on -duty uniformed officers to wear their vest at all times. Investigators would be required to wear their vests whenever they are serving search warrants or making contact with the public in criminal situations. I request the purchase of 33 vests various styles, and 27 extra . covers for a total . estimated cost of $12,000.00.

Splinter, City Manager I FROM: Sy Knapp, Director of Public Works DATE: November 7, 1986 RE: Heating System at the City Maintenance Garage On October 27, 1986 the City Council, at our request, adopted a resolution which allocated $5,000 for the repair of the heating system which heats the office areas of the City Maintenance Garage and authorized the City Manager to proceed with said installation. Further evaluation has indicated that, since the HVAC system in question is approximately 16 years old, it is possible and probable that, 'if only the furnace portion of the system is replaced, we will experience additional operating and repay problems and costs on the remaining part of the system, including the air conditioning elements of the system. If we spend the $5,000 to repair the furnace now ow it is very that ry p tan additional. $.5,000 to $7,000 of additional repairs will be incurred during the next 5 to 10 years. In addition, it is noted that if the furnace is replaced at one time and the air conditioning system is replaced separately it is very probable that the efficiency of that system would not be as good as the efficiency which can be expected from a totally new HVAC unit. Accordingly, we have obtained 2 proposals for the installation of a totally new HVAC unit which includes a new furnace and air conditioner. As shown on the attached resolution, the low bid submitted is in the total amount of $8,560 plus permit cost. The attached resolution is submitted for consideration by the City Council. Respect ully submitted, Sy Kna p Director of Public Works SK: jn - ��cF I%6 -AWROQ17 CORRECTION Commissioner Sandstrom stated that he had viewed the Brookdale Christian Center which has block and brick exteriors and felt that it is acceptable in appearance and because of that he supported the proposed amendment. Commissioner Wallerstedt stated that although she considers herself a friend of the church, she feels that it would be a mistake to utilize the concrete block rather than the originally proposed brick. She added that she believed that to allow the block in this case would be contrary to the City's policy of requiring consistent exterior treatments. ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 86023 (Amendment) Following further discussion, there was a motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Ainas to approve the amendment to Planning Commission Application No. 86023 and permit a rock -faced concrete block exterior for the gymnasium at the Brooklyn Center Baptist Church. Voting in favor: Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, and Sandstrom. Voting against: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Nelson, Bernards and Wallerstedt. The motion failed. ACTION RECOMMENDING DENIAL OF APPLICATION NO. 86023 (Amendment) There was a motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Wallerstedt to deny the amendment to Planning Commission Application No. 86023 on the grounds that the rock -faced block exterior on the gymnasium is inconsistent with the City's policy of consistent exterior treatment which has been followed in the vast majority of cases in the City. Commissioner Sandstrom spoke against the motion stating that he felt such a recommendation was inappropriate because a similar treatment had been used at the Brookdale Christian Center. Commissioner Bernards commented that he felt it was appropriate for the Commission to make a subjective judgment because aesthetics were involved. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Nelson, Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, and Sandstrom. The motion passed. The Secretary next reported on a minor addition proposed by the Girl Scouts to their building at 5601 Brooklyn Boulevard. He explained that the Girl Scouts were proposing to fill in the area which had, at one time, served as an entrance to the old library from Northport Drive to the building. He noted certain changes to the building such as providing emergency exits from the community room would have to be provided. He also noted that the staff had commented to the Girl Scouts regarding the need to eliminate the appearance of an entrance to the building at that point where a sidewalk approaches the building. He noted that the Girl Scouts have agreed to eliminate some of the walkway and provide landscaping in that area. He also commented that the Girl Scouts were proposing to use an alucobond material for part of the exterior treatment. The Commission members suggested that the Girl Scouts use glass rather than the alucobond for a consistent appearance to the south wall of the building. Following further discussion, it was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the Girl Scout proposal was a minor addition which did not require the submittal of a formal site and building plan for purposes of a building permit. ADJOURNMENT Following further discussion, there was a motion by Commissioner Sandstrom seconded by Commissioner Ainas to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission adjourned at 8:40 p.m. 10 -16 -86 -3- Chairman MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA STUDY SESSION OCTOBER 30, 1986 CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER The Planning Commission met in study session and was called to order by Chairman George Lucht at 7 :30 p.m. ROLL CALL Chairman George Lucht, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Lowell Ainas, Mike Nelson, Wallace Bernards and Ann Wallerstedt.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES October 16 1986 Commissioner Bernards pointed out that a statement attributed to him on page 3, second paragraph of the minutes, was actually made by Commissioner Wallerstedt. Motion by Commissioner Ainas seconded by Commissioner Nelson to approve the minutes of the October 16, 1986 Planning Commission meeting as corrected. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, Nelson, Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed. APPLICATION NO. 86039 (Fred A. Reed) Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of business, a request for preliminary plat approval to subdivide into two lots the land at the southwest corner of 55th Avenue North and Lyndale Avenue North (5451 Lyndale Avenue North). The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Application No. 86039 attached).. The Secretary also noted that a revised preliminary plat had been submitted showing topography and existing utilities. The City Engineer added that the staff would recommend that the City not extend utilites in 55th Avenue North to service the single new lot created by the plat. He stated that a private utility service could be extended from Lyndale Avenue North along the north side of the proposed plat. He recommended that a 10' utility easement along the north line adjacent to 55th Avenue North be dedicated for the utility services. Chairman Lucht then asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Fred Reed asked whether the 10' easement would be within the street right -of -way or would be on private property. The City Engineer responded that it would be 10' wide within the private property along the north property line of Lot 2. He explained that the easement was necessary during the construction phase to dig the trench for the utility lines and would also allow for any later repair work. PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 86039) Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing on Application No. 86039 and asked whether anyone present wished to speak regarding the application. Seeing no one, he called for a motion to close the public hearing. 10 -30 -86 -1- CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING Ion by commis oner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to close the public hearing. The motion passed unanimously. ACTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF APPLICATION NO. 86039 (Fred A. Reed) Motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to recommend approval of Application No. 86039, subject to the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. The plat shall receive final approval and be filed at the County prior to the issuance of building permits. 4. The applicant shall enter into a utility hookup agreement for water and sanitary sewer service prior to release of the final plat for filing. 5. Water and sewer service to Lot l of the proposed plat shall be provided by a private utility extension from Lyndale Avenue North. A 10' wide utility easement shall be dedicated along the north side of the proposed Lot 2. Voting in favor: Chairman Lucht, Commissioners Malecki, Ainas, Nelson, Bernards and Wallerstedt. Voting against: none. The motion passed. OTHER BUSINESS a. Earle Brown Bowl The Planner then reviewed with the Planning Commission a proposal to add enclosed areas at the northwest corner of the Earle Brown Bowl for additional coolers and storage space. He showed the Planning Commission a site plan that indicated that the setback for the proposed addition would have to be at least 50' from the Freeway Boulevard right -of -way as required by the Zoning Ordinance. He also noted that the plan showed a modification to the parking lot retaining the existing number of • parking stalls required for the use on the site. He explained that the proposed expansion would not affect the parking requirement for the Earle Brown Bowl which was based on the number of lanes and the number of seats in the restaurant. He asked whether the Commission had any concerns that should require the proposed addition to be reviewed as a formal application. There was a brief discussion in which the Planner also pointed out that the exterior treatment for the proposed addition would have to be consistent with the existing exterior treatment on the building. Commissioner Ainas stated that, although he did not vote to require a consistent treatment on the Brooklyn Center Baptist Church, he would vote to require consistent treatment in this case since it is a commercial building and the exterior is decorative block which would be easier to match than brick. By consensus, it was agreed that the proposed addition should not require formal Planning Commission review. b. RESOLUTION ON A LANDSCAPE POINT SYSTEM The Secretary then introduced a resolution for the Planning Commission to establish a point system for evaluating landscape plans. He stated that the point system 10 -30 -86 -2- within the resolution have been used by the Planning Commission during the previous six months and that it was an experimental system that could be altered if it was felt that the relationship between the various planting types needed modification. PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 86 -4 Member Lowell Ainas introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING DEFINITIVE STANDARDS FOR EVALUATING THE ADEQUACY OF LANDSCAPE PLANS The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member Mike Nelson and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof; Chairman George Lucht, Commissioners Molly Malecki, Lowell Ainas, Mike Nelson, Wallace Bernards and Ann Wallerstedt and the following voted against the same; none, whereupon said resolution was duly passed and adopted. DISCUSSION ITEM (Continuing Need for Energy Conservation) The Secretary then briefly introduced a memo from the Planner to the City Manager on the continuing need for energy conservation. He stated that the memo was an item called for in the Year 2000 Report and was a draft statement on the continuing need for conservation. He stated that, even though energy prices have fallen in recent months, that does not mean that energy conservation is not a concern over the long term. He also pointed out the main sources of energy are nonrenewable resources which must be conserved. The Planner then recommended that the Commission pay particular attention to parts 2 and 3 of the memo in which a criteria for adopting energy programs and a partial list of possible energy conservation programs was enumerated. Commissioner Ainas suggested that the unit of measurement in the forms for monitoring energy use be reduced to B.T.U'S (British Thermal Units) which is a common measure of energy to which gallons, kilowatt hours, and hundred cubic feet of gas could be reduced. Commissioner Wallerstedt suggested that social acceptability and aesthetics be considered as a criteria for evaluating a proposed energy conservation program or activity. She stated that windmills would not be appropriate in a residential neighborhood. She also stated that an intra -city mass transit system is another energy conservation program that Brooklyn Center could look into. She stated that ' there is a need for transit between residential areas in Brooklyn Center and the central commercial area, especially Brookdale. She pointed out that the existing MTC routes require people to travel downtown and then back out on a different bus line. Chairman Lucht also pointed out park and ride facilities as a possible program in the City. The Planner stated that church parking lots are sometimes used for such parking, but that an entire parcel devoted solely to such a use would probably not happen. Commissioner Wallerstedt also suggested flexibility in building codes to allow energy conserving construction such as a geodesic dome or an earth sheltered dwelling. Commissioner Ainas responded that such structures are presently permitted under the code, but have different structural requirements due to the unique construction. 10 -30 -86 -3- Commissioner Ainas stated that he did not think people in Brooklyn Center would favor a point -of -sale inspection and code compliance ordinance. He stated that the older homes in Brooklyn Center would have to be upgraded and that the cost of such improvements prior to selling a house would be a burden on most existing residents. The Secretary stated that the memo could be revised after further input from other advisory commissions and that a later draft could be brought back to be forwarded eventually to the City Council. ADJOURNMENT Following a brief review of upcoming business items, there was a motion by Commissioner Nelson seconded by Commissioner Ainas to adjourn the meeting of the Planning Commission. The motion passed unanimously. The Planning Commission- adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Chairman 10 -30- . 86 -4- Planning Commission Information Sheet Application No. 86039 Applicant: Fred A. Reed Location: 5451 Lyndale Avenue North Request: Preliminary Plat The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to subdivide into two lots the land at the southwest corner of 55th Avenue North and Lyndale Avenue North. The land in question is zoned R2 and is bounded on the north by 55th Avenue North, on the east by Lyndale Avenue North, on the south by the Residential Alternatives Group Home, and on the west by I -94. There is an existing single - family home on the corner lot at 5451 Lyndale Avenue North. A new single - family lot is being created on the south side of 55th Avenue North, west of the existing residence and east of I -94. The existing property contains two parcels which are portions of Lot 1, Block 1, Bellevue Acres Addition which is an old plat in the southeast corner of the city. The existing lots have metes and bounds legal descriptions. The westerly parcel, adjacent to I -94 is a substandard remnant lot resulting from the highway acquisition, which extends southward to the north line of the lot at 5445 Lyndale so that the southerly portion lies west of the group home. The proposed legal description is Lots 1 and 2 Block 1, Fred A. Reed Addition. The following information summarizes the compliance of the proposed plat with Zoning Ordinance requirements: Lot Type *Widt /Requi Depth / Required Area /Required Lot l Interior 60.49 60' �l 110' 8 s.f. /77 s.f. s.f. Lot 2 Corner 96.52' 75' 117.55' 110' 11,191 s.f./8,750 s.f. s.f. *measured at setback line The proposed preliminary plat contains no topographic information and shows no easements or utility locations. Staff have requested that this information be provided no later than October 30th. There is no water or sewer in the short 55th Avenue North cul -de -sac. The services to the westerly lot will have to come from Lyndale Avenue North. The revised preliminary plat should show both existing and • proposed utility locations. The survey submitted shows that the existing house is 40.2' from 55th Avenue North and 30 from Lyndale Avenue North. The 30' setback is substandard but is not affected by the proposed division and, therefore, is not an issue with this application. The existing garage is located just 3' from the proposed westerly side lot line and meets the minimum setback required by the Zoning Ordinance. Altogether, the proposed plat should be in order by Thursday's meeting. Approval should be subject to at least the following conditions: 1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City i e Engineer. 10 -30 -86 -1- Application No. 86039 continued 2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. The plat shall receive final approval and be filed at the County prior to the issuance of building permits. 4. The applicant shall enter into a utility hookup agreement for water and sanitary sewer service prior to release of the final plat for filing. 10 -30 -86 -2- Member Lowell Ainas introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 86 -4 RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING DEFINITIVE STANDARDS FOR EVALUATING THE ADEQUACY OF LANDSCAPE PLANS WHEREAS, Section 35 -230 of the Brooklyn Center Zoning Ordinance states that it is the policy of the City to "preserve and promote an attractive, stable residential and business environment for its citizens through encouraging well conceived, high quality developments "; and WHEREAS, Section 35 -230 also encourages "imaginative architectural concepts shall be employed in the ... development of respective sites" and requires site and building plan approval for all developments other than one and two family dwellings; and WHEREAS, said section also requires the submission of a site plan showing landscape, including trees and shrubbery with indication of species, planting, size and location; and WHEREAS, it has been the informal policy of the Planning Commission to request landscaping plans which meet an implicit community standard; and WHEREAS, the Commission, at its March 13, April 10, and April 24, 1986 meetings has investigated the means of making the implicit community standard for landscaping explicit, systematic and quantifiable, both for the benefit of the Commission and of architects preparing required plans. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Brooklyn Center that the following standards be used in evaluating the adequacy of proposed landscape plans: 1. Landscape Plantings shall be provided on the site based on the point system indicated below.

The above point system in no way substitutes for the screening and buffer requirements set forth in the Zoning Ordinance. Plantings used for screening purposes shall be accorded points, but fulfilling the point requirement shall not obviate the requirement for screening. 3. Mature existing trees shall be accorded points on the basis of the above point schedule. A bonus equal up to the full value of a given planting maybe granted by the Commission for the preservation of large existing plantings. 4. All green areas on a site shall be sodded except in areas where viable turf exists and is totally undisturbed by construction. The burden shall be on the developer to prove at the time of a site inspection that such viable turf, in fact, exists and has been properly maintained. 5. All greenstrips adjacent to an interior property line shall be a minimum of 5' in width except in cases where special buffer provisions apply.

MEMORANDUM TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager FROM: Geralyn R. Barone, Personnel Coordinator DATE: November 7, 1986 SUBJECT: Recommendation from Park and Recreation Commission to Flood Skating Rink at Freeway Park The Brooklyn Center Park and Recreation Commission is recommending that the City Council approve the flooding of the skating rink at Freeway Park. Attached is a draft copy of the minutes of the October 21, 1986 Park and Recreation Commission meeting, at which time the recommendation was made. Also attached is a copy of the petition from the neighborhood' residents living near Freeway Park who requested the skating rink. Below is an outline of approximate costs involved for the rink, which would be unsupervised. Item Cost Repair lights and install timer $ 600.00 Water 150.00 Electricity 150.00 Labor and benefits 846.00 Machines (operating tanker, sweeper and blower) 500.00 Miscellaneous 200.00 TOTAL $2,446.00 MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION OCTOBER 21, 1986 CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER Chairman Sorenson called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m. ROLL CALL Chairman Sorenson, Commissioners Manson and Peterson. Also present were Councilmember Bill Hawes, City Manager Gerald G. Splinter, and Recording Secretary Geralyn Barone. Commissioners Skeels and Propst were not able to attend the meeting this evening. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - MAY 20 1986 There was a motion by Commissioner Manson and seconded by Commissioner Peterson to approve the minutes of the May 20, 1986 Park and Recreation Commission meeting. The motion passed. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 16 1986 Chairman Sorenson stated that this item will be held over to the next Commission meeting when members who were in attendance at the September meeting will be present at the November meeting to vote. REPORT ON PARK BOND PROJECTS The City Manager reviewed his memorandum and report to the Park and Recreation Commission dated October 15, 1986, highlighting changes or modifications to the original plan, such as the horse shoe courts and trailways. He proceeded to review specific changes made to the Palmer Lake Nature Area, the trailway system, and Central Park. He also reviewed the finances for the bonding projects. The City Manager pointed out several areas that are left to be completed, including further work on the trail system, the vacant area around North Twin Lake including the peninsula and the island, the trailway near 69th Avenue North and in the southeast part of the City, the area along the Mississippi River, and further development of the Entertainment in the Parks programming. Chairman Sorenson pointed out that the number one priority of the Park Bond Projects, that of the neighborhood parks, did not come out short on the funding of the projects. SKATING RINK AT FREEWAY PARK The Commission reviewed a petition from the residents living near Freeway Park requesting the addition of a skating rink for this winter. Chairman Sorenson asked what annual flooding costs are, and the Recording Secretary did not know. one resident in attendance said there are many younger families back in the -1- D D � neighborhood, and because she does not want the children crossing at 69th Avenue - North to use the skating rink near Palmer Lake, she feels Freeway Park would be convenient and a safe place for the children to skate. Commissioner Peterson asked where the children would change their skates, and one resident said the kids will put their skates on at home and walk on the streets to the rink, which is not that far from any of the homes in the area. Councilmember Hawes asked if there are any lights in Freeway Park and Chairman Sorenson stated there are not. A resident noted there is a street light in the parking lot at the park. One resident said there is a very positive response from residents in the area, as indicated on the petition. One person said the residents would like to see the money put into an area park, adding that the children are out of school around 2:00 p.m., so there are enough daylight hours for afternoon skating. Commissioner Peterson expressed concern about skating in a nonsupervised area because some kids will be playing hockey. A resident pointed out that there will be kids playing hockey, but there will also be a lot of children skating. One resident said there are enough people who want this skating rink and there should not be any problems. Commissioner Peterson expressed concern about the City's liability with an unsupervised skating rink, and Chairman Sorenson pointed out that Lions Park skating rink has been unsupervised. One resident asked if the City can state a disclaimer, and the Recording Secretary said this is not effective. The Commission discussed the City's liability and concern over hockey players and young children skating in the same area. One resident pointed out that some of the parents do skate with their children. Chairman Sorenson said he is in favor of flooding the rink because of the access problem to other neighborhood skating rinks, and recommended a one -year trial period. There was a motion by Commissioner Manson and seconded by Commissioner Peterson to recommend to the City Council to flood Freeway Park and open it for a one -year trial period without supervision, and to review the survey by the Park and Recreation Department regarding usage after completion of the trial period. The motion passed. The Recording Secretary said this item will be recommended to the City Council at its November 10, 1986 meeting. RECESS The Park and Recreation Commission recessed at 8:30 p.m. and reconvened at 8 :43 p.m. BIKE PATHS ON ROADWAYS The Recording Secretary said that the Director of Public Works, Sy Knapp, will be reviewing the entire sidewalk and bike path system in the City in the next few months, and will work in cooperation with the Park and Recreation Commission in reviewing this. -2- D D D Councilmember Hawes stated that he did not receive his agenda packet for the meeting this evening, and the Recording Secretary said she would determine what the problem was. TRAILWAY SYSTEM - REVIEW OF UNDEVELOPED PORTION The Recording Secretary said that the Park and Recreation Commission could recommend blacktopping the remaining portion of the trailway on the east side of Palmer Lake. Councilmember Hawes asked that this item be discussed more completely at the next Commission meeting, discussing both pros and cons of the proposal. This item was deferred to the next meeting. FUTURE DISCUSSION ITEMS Chairman Sorenson said he would like to discuss parking problems related to the boat launches on Twin Lake North. Councilmember Hawes said the neighbors are angry about the lack of parking near the Twin Lake beach area, and this should also be discussed. Chairman Sorenson said there should be some happy medium between no parking and allowing parking everywhere. Chairman Sorenson also requested that a review of the general ordinances related to the parks directly be done and discussed at the December or January Commission meeting. Councilmember Hawes asked why the pages of revisions to the Ordinance book are not dated, and the Recording Secretary said she would look into this. Chairman Sorenson said he would also like to discuss parks maintenance, and expressed concern because the park maintenance manual is not being used: NORTH MISSISSIPPI REGIONAL PARK The Recording Secretary said that it was preferred that Chairman Sorenson represent the current Park and Recreation Commission on the ad hoc committee for the North Mississippi Regional Park because he is chairman of the present commission and has some background of the park plan development. Councilmember Hawes noted that the entire project is still in limbo, and the Commission discussed this proposed park area. VANDALISM IN PARKS Chairman Sorenson and the Commission discussed the vandalism problems in the parks. Chairman Sorenson suggested the possibility of adding park police or extra patrols in an effort to stop the vandalism. Commissioner Manson asked if it is known when the vandalism is occurring, and Councilmember Hawes stated that probably after dark, until midnight. Commissioner Manson stated that it is probably worse on the weekends. Chairman Sorenson said an effort ought to be coordinated with the residents to get them to pay more attention and get involved in solving this problem. The Recording Secretary suggested that a representative from the Crime Prevention Fund work with the Park ` and Recreation Commission in coordinating efforts targeting on -3- f D D D } vandalism in the parks. She will make arrangements with the Chief of Police to schedule this for a future commission meeting. ITEMS DEFERRED TO NEXT COMMISSION MEETING Chairman Sorenson suggested that the following items be deferred to the next meeting for further discussion: trailway system, bike paths on roadways, and vandalism in the parks. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Peterson and seconded by Commissioner Manson to adjourn. The motion passed. The Brooklyn Center Park and Recreation Commission adjourned at 9:25 p.m. Chairman -4- D D D August 29, 1986- Dear Neighbors: The children in our neighborhood have expressed an interest in having a skating rink at Freeway Park.

This represents a proposed settlement disposing of the contested liquor violation license case. The administrative law judge, Allen W. Kline, has continued his hearing on this matter to allow the two parties to attempt to enter into a stipulated agreed upon settlement of this matter. By the time you consider this matter at your Monday evening meeting, representatives of the American Legion Post will have had time to review the attached document and approve or disapprove of its substance. You will then on Monday evening have an opportunity to review the document and consider it for approval or disapproval. Should the parties fail to come to an agreement, then Judge Kline will continue his consideration of the matter. In the agreement the Legion Post agrees the gambling violation occurred and states that it wasn't their intention to violate the gambling law. They also agree that the license be revoked effective 12:01 a.m., December 25, 1986, and the agreement states that no civil penalty will be imposed. The agreement further stipulates that the City Council will consider a new application for a 1987 club license at its January 12, 1987 meeting, or earlier if the Legion Club submits acceptable license documentation. The agreement stipulates that the City will make its best effort to complete the license investigation within a set period of time, and this stipulated agreement puts the Council in a situation where the full management of the license holder and bar manager will have to be investigated and approved by the City Council. It should be clearly understood that if the license application and data submitted by the Legion Club is not acceptable, the Council does not have to issue a 1987 license'. Mr. Schieffer and the Legion Club's attorney, Mr. Flakne, have had extensive discussions regarding the type of application that will most -M & C No. 86 -17 -2- November 7, 1986 likely be accepted by the Police Chief and City Manager and recommended to the City Council. We believe this agreement serves both parties in this issue and the Police Chief, City Manager and City Attorney recommend it for your favorable consideration. Respectfully submitted, Gerald G. Splinter City Manager enc.
