also noted that, with one representative from each of the Advisory Comrnissions, this
will be the first timie that all of the commissions have worked on a single project.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired when the project would begin. The City Manager
explained the starting date is scheduled for March after the membership of the
Corm.mittee is decided.
Councilmember Theis stated that initially he was not enthused about the Year 2000
project but as he looks into it now it appears to be one of' the more important t
tare City could be involved in.
The City Manager stated the staff is r equfi sting direction from the Council rt1garding

The Council continued discussion of the Year 2000 Report and focused their
discussion on which school districts would be included on the Committee. The City
I stated he believes the involvement of the school districts is important but
that the form of their participation is optional.
Councilmember Scott suggested having the schools as ex- officio members similar to
the participation of the school districts on the cable commission. She added that

by this type of mem-bership their input is gained and fairness to all districts is
achieved. The City tanager suggested that perhaps the best solution would be to
have the Brooklyn Center school district serve as the liaison for all the school
districts in Brooklyn Center.
Where was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
approve the purpose and scope of the Year 2000 report as submitted by the City staff,
and to approve the r e of the Task Force submitted by the City staff with the
amendment that "one or two" representatives from school districts be amended to read

role of their commiss;i ins. He added that thie question which seems to be apparent in
all the commissions is how to maintain the vitality of the City advisory
commissions. He poy.. fi red out that the future roles of advisory commissions is one
aspect which could be examined by the Year 2000 Report. He pointed out that tczere
are also issues emerging from the Year 2000 Report that could be addressed by the
various advisory co•rr .fissions. As an example, he pointed out, one recommendation
may be to reduce the number of advisory commissions and :involve neighborhood
advisory groups more heavily. Fie pointed out the Year 2.000 Report could serve to
revitalize the corissions.
Councilmember Lhotka pointed out he is not trying to suggest that the commissions be
eliminated but possibly to combine some of the commissions. He stated that the
commissions seem to be busy on work that they create for themselves.

Councilmember Theis expressed a concern that if the commissions do not meet on a
regular basis they may slide back into the woodwork completely, but that he also
bel.?. eras that some rte wings of the co.zmlissions in the past have been of little value.
He ated that the C�ouncil could ask each of the cora- missions to assess what they
think their role is or should be.
The City Manager stated that he is not thinking any suggestions have been raised to
eliminate the commissions but rather to look at revitalizing the advisory
co ; Fissions. He exirlained that over the years the issues confronting the community
havf changed but the structures of the commissions have not.
Councilmember Lhot'la inquired as to the time period proposed for the Year 2000
Report. The City Manager replied that the tentative schedule is to have the study
done within one year to sixteen months, but that particular issues could be

Mayor Nyquist commented that he would not expect advisory commission micmbers to
attend meetings that were not worthwhile, but he pointed out that he attended a
recent Human Rights Commission meeting that was quite lively. He added that he
believes it is not necessarily bad in itself for commissions to work on projects they
have created themselves. Councilmember Lhotka agreed with 11ayor Nyquist and added
that he does not think it is bad for commissions to come up with their own projects.
He pointed out that the Hunan Rights Commission has worked on a family violence
project that is a worthwhile project, but added that some issues keep resurfacing
again and again even after the commission has pursued therm as projects.
The City Manager stated that he has known other cities to merge commi and keep
the membership oversized until reduced by attrition. He added that this approach
has worked in other cities. He stated that he would place the future role of
advisory commissY--ns in the City high on the agenda of the Year 2000 Report.

IN THE CITY OF BLAINE
WHEREAS, a State Constitutional Amendment allowing parimutuel

Minnesota Racing Commission has been created by the Minnesota Legislature
to implement parimutuel horseracing in Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the location of a racing facility would have a substantial,
positive impact on the economic condition of an area; and
WHEREAS, a racing facility would create approximately 1,000 addi-

Of the Metro Racetrack in the City of Blaine, which interest has been pursued
by the North Star Race Track Association, City of Blaine, and Anoka County;

to I -35W and within 20 minutes of the central Twin Cities which lands are
proposed for the Northstar Racetrack facility; and

ditures of taxpayers' dollars if the racing facility were located in the
City of Blaine.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City

ENGINEER'S REPORT
Lift Station Improvement Project No. 1983 -09
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Installation of alarm telemetry units and emergency adaptor
connections in seven sanitary sewer lift stations, modifica-
tion of rcontrols for Lift Station No. 1, and purchase of
a portat�le generator.
DISCUSSION: In 1979 the City employed Orr- Schelen- Mayeron & Associates, Inc.
Consulting Engineers, to r-onduct a study and report on the feasibility of
developing alarm telemetry and standby power systems for the City's nine
lift stations. To date, the City has awarded contracts for: (1) installation
of the telemetry and stand power systems at Lift Station No. 2 (located
at Lyndale Avenue and 55th Avenue North); (2) Installation of the telemetry
system and development of emergency power adaptor connections at Lift Station
No. 3 (located at West Pallner Lake Drive and Urban Avenue North); and (3)
purchase of seven extra telemetry units for installation in the balance of
the City's lift stations. At this time it is recommended the City Council
authorize staff to proceed with letting of bids for the final phase of the
emergency monitori i /power supply system installation.
The proposed project provades for construction of transfer switch cabinets
at six lift stations. Each cabinet housing will include within it an N.S.P.
meter, a main disconnect /transfer switch (necessary to switch from N.S.P.
source supply to emergency power source), radio operated alarm telemetry
unit, and lightning protection circuitry. Each cabinet will also include
an emergency power receptar -le for connection to a mobile generator unit, and
provisions for future inst,allation of do current - producing rectifier necessary
for the operation of a cathodic protection system.
The cabinets will be pad mmounted (on a concrete base) at each location except
at Lift Station No. 6 (located on Lakebreeze Avenue at France Avenue), where
conditions favor use of a pole- mounted installation. The pad mounted cabinets
will stand 36 inches high, be 40 inches wide, and 32 inches deep, while the
pole mount unit will be 3E inches by 26 inches by 14 inches.
In accordance with earlier directives of the City Council, staff has provided
for receipt of alternate proposals for the furnishing of diesel powered
electrical generator units. One alternate provides for supply of a generator
capable of powering all lift station pumps except those at Lift Station No. 1,
while the second alternate provides for supply of a generator capable of powering
any City well pump motor cof 150 tI.P. or less in addition to powering any lift
station.

Finally, the recommended project provides for replacement of the existing
twenty year old sewage level control circuitry in Lift Station No. 1 with
a more reliable, energy efficient control system. At this station, the
project also provides for installation of the emergency power connection with
a main disconnect /power switch, a radio operated alarm telemetry unit, and
lightning protection circuitry. All of this equipment will be installed
inside the lift station "house ".
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: A summary of the estimated costs related to the
various aspects of the project is as follows:
Alarm Telemetry /Emergency Power Transfer $58,200
Lift Station No. 1 Level Control Modifications 9,020
Portable Emergency Power Generator 23,000 - 55,000

ENGINEER'S REPORT
Street Improvement Project No. 1984 -03
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Street widening and curb and gutter installation for the
purpose of parking lane construction
PROJECT LOCATION: Halifax and 70th Avenues, abutting St. Alphonsus Catholic Church
DISCUSSION: Staff has been in contact with St. Alphonsus Catholic Church regarding
the feasibility of parking lane construction along Halifax Avenue between
70th and 71st Avenues and along 70th Avenue, between Halifax and June Avenues.
Attached herewith is a February 10, 1984, letter from Father James Shea, Pastor,
wherein Fr. Shea acknowledges the benefit of the proposed construction.
Accordingly, staff has reviewed various construction options in the development
of the proposed improvement project, and contacted those property owners along
70th and Halifax Avenues who live opposite St. Alphonsus Church. In answer to
the staff's survey, five of seven respondents do not want curb and gutter
installed along their property, one owner is in favor of the proposal, and one
owner (the Church owns two lots) abstained. In consideration of this fact, the
proposed improvement project wil not incorporate modifications to the side of
the street opposite St. Alphonsus Church.
The proposed improvement project provides for the widening of 70th and Halifax
Avenues along the St. Alphonsus property only, from the existing 15 foot
centerline- to- gutterline to a 20 foot centerline -to- gutterline width. Also
proposed is the installation of concrete curb and gutter along the widened street
section, thereby providing a defined street edge for boulevard maintenance, and
concrete driveway aprons.
Staff recommends that the proposed project include the relocation of municipal
sidewalk presently located within the Halifax Avenue boulevard to an easement
within Church property. As stated in Fr. Shea's letter, the Church's concern
over protection of an existing lawn irrigation system and yard lighting system is
well made and the necessary provisions will be incorporated into the contract
if the project is ordered.
Further analysis of the staff's street improvement proposal shows that certain
modifications must be made to the 71st Avenue - Halifax Avenue intersection to
provide adequate area drainage. Accordingly, it is proposed that storm sewer be
extended northerly along Halifax Avenue from 70th Avenue to 71st Avenue, and the
intersection be reconstructed to promote positive drainage. We also recommend
that geometric improvements be incorporated which will better accomodate traffic
at this intersection. Several design options are currently being considered.
t•• We Som&44KJc N ate .,
Engineer's Report - Project No. 1984 -03
Page 2
As a part of the proposed project, it is recommended that a bituminous overlay be
constructed along the widened half street width, and that a seal coat be placed
over the entire pavement area in 1985 (not included in the project cost estimate).
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION: It is proposed that the Church be financially responsible
for installation of curb and gutter, concrete driveway aprons, pavement widening,
and the bituminous overlay. It is proposed that the City be responsible for the
relocation of concrete sidewalk, storm sexier construction, and the reconstruction
of the 71st Avenue - Halifax Avenue intersection, said costs to be financed from
the City's local 1M.S.A. account. A surimary of the estimated project costs and
financial responsibilities are outlined below:

Mr. Sy Knapp
Director of Public Works
6301 Shingle Creek Parkway
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota 55430
Dear Sy:
I am writing to you in regards to the concrete curb and gutter instal -
lation at St. Alphonsus as was outlined for disucssion in your revised
January 17, 1984 communication.
The Finance Committee and the Parish Council at St. Alphonsus reviewed the
proposal. We arrived at a decision to work with the City of Brooklyn
Center to begin and complete this project in the summer of 1984.
However, in the study of the proposal we request three cautions and one
reconsideration plus a suggestion,.
The first caution. In view of the fact that the sidewalk on the west side
of Halifax Avenue North between 70th Avenue North and 71st Avenue North
might have to be relocated to accommodate the curb and gutter installation
we want to be assured that the tree and security light line along the same
street not be removed nor disturbed.
The second caution. In view of the fact that St. Alphonsus has a
sprinkling system with twelve sprinklers, a zone control valve and a trunk
line between Halifax Avenue North and the sidewalk, and six sprinklers
bordering the north side of 70th Avenue North, we want to be assured that
the sprinklers, valve and trunk line are relocated and in working order in
the event that the sidewalk is relocated along Halifax Avenue North and the
curb and gutter along 70th Avenue North would overlap the sprinklers.
The third caution. In view of the fact that St. Alphonsus will be holding
it's 25th Annual Fun Fair on July 27, 28 and 29, 1984, we would like to be
assured that all work on Halifax Avenue North and 70th Avenue North be
completed on or before July 15, 1984. Work on this project could begin be-
fore June 1, 1984, as was stated in the proposal.
Reconsideration. In view of the fact that the City of Brooklyn Center
wishes to simultaneously install a storm sewer on Halifax Avenue North with
St. Alphonsus' curb and gutter installation, we request a reconsideration
of the construction cost for grading, base, bituminous surfacing and
restoration. Since both the City of Brooklyn Center and St. Alphonsus are
benefiting from this construction, we feel that both the City and the
Church to share in the cost of grading, base, bituminous surfacing
and restoration.
-2-
Suggestion. In view of the fact that construction will already be going on
at the intersection of Halifax Avenue North and 71st Avenue North with a
storm sewer and curb and gutter we would like to encourage the City of
Brooklyn Center to redesign if possible the same intersection to allow for
a smoother and safer flow of traffic.
In conclusion, I want to say that we are willing to cooperate with the City
of Brooklyn in any way we can. Before construction begins, we would like
to discuss the three cautions, the reconsideration and the suggestion.
Respectfully yours,
Fr. James E. Shea
Pastor

APPLICATION NOS. 84001 AND 84002 (Reynolds Homes, Inc.) .
Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first two
items of business, a request for site and building plan approval for a 28 unit
townhouse project on the old Madsen Floral property and the excess back yards of
four neighboring lots at 56th and Aldrich Avenues North and a request for pre-
liminary plat approval to subdivide the land into 28 townhouse lots, one common
area and four residential lots. The Secretary then reviewed the contents of the
staff report for the two applications (see ° Planning Commission Information Sheets
for Application Nos. 84001 and 84002 attached).
The Secretary also explained that there had been a number of minor changes in
the plan since the time the report was written. He explained that the townhouse
development would be 3.35 acres which works out to a total of 26.8 units at 8
units per acre. He noted, therefore, that a density credit for one unit was
being sought. He recalled for the Commission the discussion regarding this matter
during the previous year in which it was decided that a density credit to allow
the completion of the seventh quad home would be allowed, but that a density
credit to allow an additional quad home would not be allowed. He also noted that
the new plan provided for more fencing and less landscaping. He recommended that
the landscape plan called for a mixture of 6" diameter trees, not all of one
specie. He reviewed the size of the units. He noted that the gross square footage
of each unit was 1,956 sq. ft. with 440 sq. ft. for garage space, leaving 1,516
sq. ft. for living space. Of this, 1,076 sq. ft. would be finished and 440 sq. ft.
would be unfinished. He also noted that the common area would be 2.45 acres and
that the power line at the northwest corner of the plat would no longer be in the
townhouse development. He concluded by reviewing the condition of approval, but
recommended tabling of both the site and building plan and preliminary plat
applications.
Commissioner Simmons stated she wanted to make a comparison between the agreement
signed by the property owners and the surrounding neighbors and the development
plans submitted for approval. She noted that the neighbors do not have a copy of
the agreement. She noted the provision for owner- occupancy of the townhouse units
and explained to those present that the Zoning Ordinance cannot force the sale of
the townhouses. Chairman Lucht noted that the agreement phases out after 751 of
the units are sold and that, therefore, conceivably, the project could be 25% rental.
Commissioner Simmons pointed out that the 'agreement called for 1,350 sq. ft. of
finished floor space in the individual townhouse units. She contrasted this with
the 1,076 sq. ft. of finished floor space shown in the plans. She also pointed
out that the agreement called for cedar or brick siding. She noted that the plans
called for lap siding over at least 50`) of the exterior of the units. She also
complained of the fact that the notice of the Planning Commission meeting was
1 -12 -84 -2-
received late by most neighbors and had the appearance of junk mail. She con-
cluded by saying that the rezoning was al lovin(i on the basis of the agreement
between the property owners and the surrounding neighbors and that the agreement
is not being followed.
Chairman Lucht then called on the applicant to speak. Mr. Wayne Tower of
Suburban Engineering representing Reynolds Homes, Inc., explained that the 15 ft.
buffer area at the northwest corner of the townhouse development could be pro-
vilded by realigning the two townhouse units along the west side of the site. He
showed Such new alignment to the Planning Commissioners. Regarding the question
of fencing, Mr. Tower stated that the applicant would do whatever the neighbors
wish, whether it be a fence or landscaping. He also stated that the 6" diameter
trees could be changed from Ash to some other specie. He stated that a power line
easement can be shown on the final plat. He then presented to the Planning Commis-
sion, a written acknowledgement by some of the surrounding neighbors that the
development plans for the project meet the agreement between the neighbors and the
property owners. As to the notification of surrounding neighbors of the Planning
Commission meeting, Mr. Tower stated that the notice was in the mail seven days
prior to the Planning Commission meeting. He concluded by saying that he felt
the plan meets the agreement with th the neighbors and he asked that the Planning
Commission not table the applications.
Chairman Lucht stated that the agreement did not actually concern the Planning
Commission. Mr. Tower acknowledged this, but reviewed the provisions of the
agreement anyway and argued that the development plans are in accord with the
agreement.
Commissioner Simmons stated that she would excuse herself from further considera-
tion of the application in light of her connection with the neighborhood group.
Commissioner Sandstrom stated that there seems to be a difference between the
agreement and the proposed plans. He stated that niasonite was not comparable in
quality to cedar or brick. Chairman Lucht commented that he would just as soon
have masonite for siding. Commissioner Sandstrom also stated that he was concerned
regarding the lighting plans. fie noted that there seems to be a large area in the
center of the project with no lighting.
The Secretary explained that the agreement between the owners and the neighbors
was to induce the City Council to rezone land from RI to R3. He stated that a
rezoning action on the part of the City would not address the concerns of surround-
ing residents, namely that the project be owner-occupied. He explained that platting
of the property for townhouse units sets up the possibility for an owner-occupied
development. He cautioned, however, that the plat does not guarantee that the
project will be owner-occupied. He also stated that the other aspects of the
agreement concerning the individual units did not stem from ordinance requirements.
The Secretary noted that the proposed plan has not changed a great deal from the
concept that was shown in 1979. He encouraged the Commission to be aware of the
agreement, but added that the agreement did not constitute a zoning criteria for
denying the proposed development plan.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 84002)
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing regarding the pre-
liminary plat and asked whether anyone present wished to comment on the appli-
cation. Mr. McCarthy, of 5537 Camden Avenue North, stated that he was confused
regarding the agreement. He stated that he did not want a rental complex existing
behind him, but that he did not care very much about the square footage of the
units or the exterior treatment. Mr. Wayne Tower, representing the applicant,
assured Mr. McCarthy and others present that the developer would abide by the
agreement.
1-12-84 -3-
Mary Simmons, of 5530 Camden Avenue North, stated that the agreement simply
allows the neighbors the opportunity to take the developer to court if he does
not abide by the agreement. Mr. Tower stated that Mr. Reynolds, the builder of
the project, does not wish to go to court. Ms. Simmons stated that of the five
names that she saw on the letter that was submitted to the Planning Commission,
only one was in the BelIvue Park Neighborhood Association. She explained that
she had taken copies of the agreement to abutting property owners.
Mr. Ed Trombley, of 803 -56th Avenue North, explained that he was one of the
property owners and a party to the agreement. He stated that he had taken the
letter of acknowledgement around to people who were neighbors to the land in
question. He pointed out that the Bellvue Park Neighborhood Association is not
the same as the neighbors with whom the agreement is made.
Mr. Ed Beck, of 5507 Camden Avenue North, asked whether there was any significance
to zoning the property R3 instead of R1. He expressed the belief that his own
property would be zoned R3. Chairman Lucht explained that his property would
remain R1, single- family.
Mr. Marvin Nemec, of 5538 Camden Avenue North, asked what the proposal would do
to neighboring property values. Chairman Lucht stated that he did not know what
would happen. The Secretary stated that, based on information he has received
from the City Assessor, no impact on property values would take place. He also
asked whether the greenhouse could have had a negative effect on property values
inasmuchas it was a commercial use. Mr. Nemec stated that the proposed develop-
ment represents a lot of density in a small area. He stated that he was opposed
to the project and that he preferred the land remain zoned RI.
Mr. Beck also stated that he was against it because of the high density. He
stated his concern over the traffic congestion. He stated that the project would
change his whole life. He explained that all of his money has been invested in
his house and he was concerned that the project would diminish his property values.
Ms. Simmons stated that the Planning Commission was hearing the same arguments as
five years ago. She stated that the developer has not lived up to the agreement
and that was why the same arguments were being made. She asked the Planning
Commission to table both applications to allow the neighbors time to meet and
look at the plans. She concluded by saying that she felt the agreement was not
being kept.
Mr. Ed Trombley stated that there have been many meetings at which the proposed
development had been discussed. He commented that he felt a few people are
harassing those who wish to do something with their property. He also stated
that the agreement can be turned around and used against the neighborhood as
well as by the neighborhood. He stated that many other people saw the notice of
the meeting, but chose not 'to come. He stated that this shows there is little
opposition to the proposed development. Ms. Simmons explained that she had told
many older residents in the area not to bother to come to this Planning Commission
meeting because the matter would be tabled until later anyway.
Mrs. Ann Jarvimaki, of 5625 Aldrich Avenue North, stated that she was in favor of
the project. She stated that the school district needs more kids and a greater
tax base which will be supplied by the developer.
Mr. Wayne Tower stated that the applicant had no objection to meeting with the
neighbors before the application goes to the City Council. He suggested that
i Plannin Commissio
problems with the site plan could be worked out if the g n sent
the applications on to the City Council. The Secretary disagreed with Mr. Tower.
He stated that the Zoning Ordinance all much mare time to consider the site
and building plan application and recotmiended against rushing to any kind of
1 -12 -84 -4-
decision. He stated that taking time in the short run can save time in the
long run. Chairman Lucht agreed and stated that it was the Planning Commission's
job to work out most of these prow ems. He asked whether there were other comments
on the plat.
Mr. Beck asked +, the project would he completed all at one time. Mr. Tower
answered that the ground work, streets and utilities would be accomplished im-
mediately and that the units would be built as they were sold. Ms. Simmons asked
whether a model would be built and other units sold from that. Mr. Tower stated
that the builder would probably use models that have already been built in Brooklyn
Park. IMs. Simmons expressed a concern that the units might be rented if they were
not sold. She stated that this would violate the agreement. Chairman Lucht
stated that the agreement grew out of the City Council's deliberation over the
rezoning of the land itself. He stated that the Planning Commission should look
at things such as the insufficient buffer in applying the Zoning Ordinance to
the proposal.
Mr. Wayne.Tower stated that he would like to get the reaction of the neighbors to
the proposed landscape plan. Mr. Beck stated that he had shrubs in his back yard.
He discussed with Mr. Tower what would be seen of the units from the back of his
house. Mr. McCarthy stated that he would prefer shrubbery if it was dense enough
to block our cut - through pedestrian traffic. Mr. Tower e encouraged g the neighbors
to state their preferences because the builder would like to know how much he is
likely to spend on landscaping and fencing. Mrs. Beck stated that it was hard to
know what they wanted without knowing what the units would look like.
There followed a brief discussion regarding a possible meeting of people in the
neighborhood to get together to look at the plans and the desire on the part of
some present to be notified of such a meeting.
Chairman Lucht asked the Planning Commission for its reaction. Commissioner
Malecki stated that she felt the applicant should have met with the neighbors to
review the plans prior to this meeting. She asked that the applicant work out the
question of fencing with the neighborhood before the next meeting. She also asked
that the applicant add lighting along the central garage. She recommended that the
PP 9 9
g 9
Planning ommission table the application.
9 PP
Commissioner Manson also recommended tabling of the application. She stated that
she wanted to see the final plans after they have been reworked to suit the
concerns of the neighbors and the Planning Commission. Commissioner Sandstrom
also recommended tabling. He stated that he felt there would be a better feeling
on the part of the neighborhood if there was a chance to meet between the property
owners and the neighbors. Commissioner Nelson stated that he also favored tabling
the application. Chairman Lucht stated that he favored seeing the plans with the
final decisions on screening. He also stated that the Planning Commission is not
going to rule on the agreement. He stated that the Commission would rule on the
site plan and the plan based on City Ordinances. He added, however, that the Com-
mission obviously wants the agreement with the neighborhood to be observed.
CONTIN PUBLI H EARING (Application No. 84002)
Motion by Commissioner Manson seconded by Commissioner Malecki to continue the
public hearing on Application No. 84002. The motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Ed Trombley asked hoer the property owners and the neighbors can resolve their
differences. Chairman Lucht answered that there is now a mediation service which
is intended to allow parties to a dispute to get together and try to work out
their differences before going to court. Mr. Tower asked how soon the applications
would be back before the Planning Commission. The Secretary answered that it
would be reconsidered after the meetings have been held with the neighbors.
Ms. Simmons stated that she wished to have two meetings, one for the neighbors to
look at the plans and another to meet with the developer.

The motion passed.
RECESS
The Planning Commission recessed at 9:36 p.m. and resumed at 9:58 p.m.
A PPLICATION NO. 84003 (Welcome Commun Home
Following the recess, the Secretary introduced the next item of business, a
request for site and building plan and special use permit approval to construct
a bedroom addition above the existing attached garage at 6451 Brooklyn Boulevard
and to remodel the existing garage into office space. The Secretary reviewed the
contents of the staff report (see Planning Commission Information Sheet for Appli-
cation No. 84003 attached).
Commissioner Manson asked whether the Department of Public Welfare licenses a
certain number of clients for this particular home. The Secretary responded that
he believed that was the case.
Chairman Lucht then called on the applicant to speak. Ms. Mary Peterson, a worker
at the Welcome Community Home, stated that she would answer any questions the
Commission had. The Secretary stated that a drawing had been submitted as re-
quested and that it appeared to be adequate. The Planning Assistant stated that
the primary issue for the Planning Commission to resolve was the number of parking
spaces needed for this facility and how they would be provided on the property.
The Secretary asked Ms. Peterson whether the garage was presently used for parking.
Ms. Peterson answered in the negative.
PUBLIC HEARING (Application No. 840
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked whether
anyone present wished to speak on the application. Mr. Roger Lundquist, of
3910 -65th Avenue North, complained regarding the management of the home. He
stated that he doubted the assertion in the staff report that one to four staff
are present at the facility at all times. He stated that his parking lot has
been used by visitors to the home and that there has been damage to his property
by the residents of the home. He explained that a fence had been damaged and
that the girls from the home sometimes wait inside the hallway of his four --plex
for a school bus and that they have smoked cigarettes and damaged the carpet. He
also complained regarding noise. He stated that on occasion, girls have been
Laughing in the yard until after midnight and also stated that for a period of
time during the previous spring, someone played a stereo at extremely high volume
late in the evening. He stated that, at one time, had had asked to talk to the
manager and was told that no manager was present. He stated that he was concerned
that J ?e might los tenants because of the noise problems. He explained that he
was not against the expansion, but that he wanted some recourse if the home is not
managed properly.
Commissioner Simmons asked whether it was not time at this Planning Commission
meeting to deal with these problems. The Secretary stated that this was certainly
the time to gather information, but that there were only certain things that the
Planning Commission could do regarding this operation. He stated that noise
violations or other vandalism should be directed first of all to the Police.
Mr. Lundquist stated that he had called the Police. He stated that, after the
Police arrive, the problem dies down; but that, after they are gone, the problem
may flare up again. He stated that he wanted to knee what recourse he would
have to require better i ianagom.erit if these problems arise in the future. The
Secretary explained that the operation was a special use permit in the R5 zoning
1 -12 -84 -6-
district and that it is subject to all codes, ordinances and regulations.
Mr. Lundquist stated that he questioned the managel„ent's control of the facility
when noise is loud at odd hours. The Secretary stated that Mr. Lundquist does
have recourse to call the Police when there is such disturbance. He suggested
that the applicant should respond to the concern regarding lack of management.
He suggested to the Planning Commission that it perhaps ask for a set of house
rules to evaluate whether management is doing what it can to control behavior.
Commissioner Simmons stated that she did not think it was fair for the Planning
Commission to ask a neighbor to keep coping with the problem. She asked by whom
the facility is licensed. The Secretary responded that the facility is licensed
by the Minnesota Department of Public 1klelfare. Commissioner Simmons wondered
whether the neighbors should talk to the licensing authorities at the State.
Mr. Jim Just, the owner of the 45!elcome Home, stated that there wa °s more than°vne
side to the issue. He maintained that management was not lax and that the
Problems were occasional and not continuous. Fie stated that any similar facility
is bound to have occasional problems, but that the complaints that have been made
suggest that the problems are continuous. Fie again maintained that the problems
are not continuous, but of an occasional nature. He stated that he would be
willing to meet with Mr. Lundquist and resolve any problems. Mr. Lundquist stated
that he asked Mr. Just for compensation for damages six to seven years ago when
the fence was damaged. He stated that Mr. Just asked whether he had seen the girls
do the damage. He admitted he had not seen the girls actually commit the damage,
but that circumstantial evidence made it fairly obvious as to who had caused the
damage to the fence.
The Secretary asked Mr. Just how many supervisors were required during the evening
hours. Mr. Just responded that there are between one and three staff on duty from
3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. and occasionally four staff present. Commissioner Simmons
asked how many were present after 11:00 p.m. Mr. Just answered that one staff
person was present. Commissioner Simmons asked whether this staff person was
sleeping at the facility. Mr. Just answered in the affirmative. Commissioner
Simmons asked 'now many staff were present at what times. Mr. Just answered that
it depended on the activities of a particular day. He stated that during the day
there is generally one staff person present and one staff person present at night.
He stated that from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., there are usually two to three and
occasionally four staff people present.
There followed a brief discussion between Mr. Lundquist and Mr. Just regarding
the noise problem that had taken place the previous spring. Mr. Just stated
that the Department of Public Welfare has power over the facility. He offered
to give Mr. Lundquist the phone number to call if he had problems with the home.
Chairman Lucht also stated that Mr. Lundquist could call the City and complain.
The Secretary commented that he has not received any complaints regarding this
facility in the last five years. He offered to contact Mr. Lundquist in six
months to see if there had been any problems during that time if Mr. Lundquist
so desired. Mr. Lundquist stated that a problem does exist with the facility,
but that he is willing to wait and see and did not wish to be an obstructionist
and see the permit denied.

Planning Cornwission Information sheet
Applicat on No. 84001
Applicant: Reynolds Homes, Inc.
Location: 55th and Aldrich Avenues North
Request: Site and Building Plan
The applicant requests site and building plan approval to construct a 28 unit
townhouse complex on the 3.44 acres of land consisting of the old Madsen Floral
property, the former Madsen residence, and the excess back yards of four adjacent
residences. The property - in question was the subject of rezoning Application No.
79018 submitted by Art Kvamme. That application, which sought a rezoning to R3,
was approved by the City Council on August 13, 1979 following conclusion of an
agreement between Mr. Kvamme and neighboring property owners. The property is
still legally classified as Rl, pending a replatting of the land in question to
legally describe the area rezoned to R3. The land in question is bounded by 56th
Avenue North and two residences on the north, by single - family residences facing
Camden Avenue North on the east, by 55 Avenue North and two single - family homes
on the south, and by single - family homes facing Bryant Avenue North on the west.
The site in question is 3.44 acres. At 8 units per acre, the site can accommodate
27.52 or 28 units. No density credit is therefore being sought. Access to the site
is gained via a central drive, 24' wide, extending from 55th Avenue North to 56th
Avenue North. It is not anticipated that the drive connecting 55th and 56th
Avenues North will induce much cut - through traffic, inasmuchas Aldrich is not a
through street in this area and the proposed driveway does not line up directly
with Aldrich Avenue North, north of 56th Avenue North. Driveways leading off
the main drive to the individual units are 18' wide. Two units facing 55th Avenue
North and two facing 56th Avenue North have driveway access directly onto the
public streets.
The 28 townhouses are arranged in 7 "quads,' 5 to the east of the main drive and 2
to the west. Each unit will. have a double tuck -under garage and driveway parking
space for two vehicles. In addition, the plan calls for 24 guest parking stalls
for a total of 136 parking spaces available. This far exceeds the required 2
spaces per unit.
The site plan provides for a 15' wide buffer strip adjacent to abutting single -
family residences as required by City ordinance when an R3 development abuts Rl
zoned land. A 6' high decorative wood fence is proposed adjacent to the east and
north property lines of the residence immediately to the west along 55th Avenue
North, and along the east and south property lines of the residencQ to the west
along 56th Avenue North. The remainder of the site perimeter adjacent to resi-
dential property is proposed to be screened by landscaping. This perimeter land-
scaping is to consist of 6' Austrian Pines (12); 6' Black Hills Spruce (14); 4'
Nanberry (96); 4 Zabel Honeysuckle (126); and 3' Red Twigged Dogwood (70). City
ordinance requires either a 4' high opaque fence or wall or a Council approved
substitute. Staff have recommended that fencing be considered where no fence
currently exists. We are concerned that proposed perimeter landscaping will not
provide adequate screening until some years after planting. However, if neigh-
bors prefer no fence, the Council may approve the proposed landscaping or some
other landscape treatment as screening. The plan also calls for five 6" diameter
Marshall Ash at various points along either side of the main central drive. These
meet the requirement for large trees in this multi- family development of 28 units.
1 -12 -84

Application No. 84001 continued
In addition to the perimeter landscaping, the applicant has proposed appropriate
plantings, including one decorative tree (Autumn Purple Ash or Skyline locust),
one large shrub (Pagoda Dogwood, Japanese Tree Lilac, etc.) and about half a dozen
small shrubs (Mugho Pine, Cranberry vibernum, Fragrant Sumac, Arcadia Juniper,
Goldrop Potentilla) for each unit. All green areas are to be sodded.
The grading, drainage, and utility plan calls for drainage to flow from the minor
access drives to the central private street, collecting in two catch basins roughly
in the center of the project and conveyed by private storm to the public storm
sewer in 55th Avenue North. Another catch basin is to be located in the buffer strip
along the east side of the site to collect runoff in a low green area and convey it
to the main storm sewer line. Each unit will be served by a separate water and sewer
line. The main water line extends through the project from the public main in 56th
Avenue North to the main in 55th Avenue North, thus providing a utility "loop"
which maintains proper pressure. The storm sewer drains to 55th Avenue North and
the sanitary sewer flows to 56th Avenue North.
The townhouse units are to be built in quads on four levels: lower living level,
garage, living- dining - kitchen area, and upper bedroom area. There are two alternate
floor,plans: one with two bathrooms on the upper floor (one with a shower off the
master bedroom) and another plan with a single upstairs bathroom (with access
from the hall and the master bedroom). The gross floor area (including wall space)
of the units is approximately 1,984 sq. ft., with approximately 456 sq. ft. for
garage space. This leaves 1,528 gross sq. ft. of living space, including utility
room, closets entry and hallways, and stairs. The exterior treatment includes face
brick along the lower 4' of the front elevations (there are two front elevations on
each quad). The remainder of the front and side elevations is primarily with 8"
lap board siding, with cedar shakes below and cedar trim bordering the front
windows. Fireplaces with face brick exterior trim and wood decks off the side ele-
vations are options for each unit. No outside lighting plans have yet been submitted
and the building elevations show no outside lights.
The plans for this development are, for the most part, in order and meet ordinance
standards. However, because of the special arrangement between the property owner
and the surrounding neighborhood, the Commission may wish to table the matter at

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 84002
Applicant: Reynolds Inc.
Location: 55th and Aldrich Aves. North (Madsen Floral)
P.e_quest: Preliminary Plat
The applicant requests preliminary plat approval to subdivide into a 28 unit town-
house project and four residences.the Madsen Floral property at 55th and Aldrich
Avenues North and the four residential lots immediately to the west. The property
in question was the subject of a rezoning application to R3 in 1979 which was
approved. However, the property has never been legally described in the Zoning
Ordinance absent a replat of the property for an owner- occupied townhouse develop-
ment. Technically, therefore, the land is still zoned Rl, pending the proposed
replat. The land in question is bounded by 56th Avenue North on the north, by
single- family residences facing Camden Avenue North on the east, by 55th Avenue
North on the south, and by single - family homes facing Bryant Avenue North (and
one long lot facing 55th Avenue Nort(i) on the west.
The total plat is a rectangle approximately 315'_ east -west by 597' north- south.
The entire plat is approximately 4.33 acres, 3.44 acres of which make up the
proposed townhouse development. The remainder consists of four single - family
residential lots, two facing 55th Avenue North and two facing 56th Avenue North.
The townhouse complex contains seven blocks, each with four lots which are the
seven quads and one lot and block for the common area. two residences facing
55th and two facing 56th, which are transferring their excess rear yards to the
townhouse complex, will be the remaining four lots in the plat. The individual
townhouse lots are each '27' x 52' or 1404 sq. ft. The common area is approxi-
mately 2.54 acres of the 3.44 acre development.
There is a power line which extends into the northwestern corner of the townhouse
common area. This will probably be relocated along the proposed property line
with a 5' easement on either side. Power line easements are also required along
the east and west property lines of the townhouse development. The preliminary
P Y
plat shows no topographic or utility data vlhich are presented on the proposed
site plan.
As with all townhouse projects, the association documents are subject to review
by the City Attorney and there must be a utility maintenance agreement to allow
the City to perform emergency maintenance of on -site utilities in order to
reserve health and .
safet
P Y
The preliminary plat does seem to be in order and approval is recommended, subject
to at least the following conditions:
1. The final plat is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
2. The final plat is subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the
City Ordinances.
3. The owner of the townhouse portion of the plat shall enter into
a utility hookup agreement for water and sewer service to the
townhouse project prior to final plat approval.
4. The Association documents for the townhouse development shall be
subject to review and approval by the City Attorney prior to final
plat approval.
5. The owner shall enter into a standard utility maintenance agreement
with the City as approved by the City Engineer prior to final plat
approval.

Planning Commission Information Sheet
Application No. 84003
Applicant: Welcome Community Home, Inc.
Location: 6451 Brooklyn Boulevard
Request: Site and Building Plan /Special Use
The applicant requests site and building plan approval and an amendment to a
special use permit to construct a bedroo;n addition above the existing attached
garage at the Welcome Community Home at 6451 Brooklyn Boulevard and to remodel
the existing garage to office space. The lot in question is zoned R5 and is
bounded by a single- family home and a three- plex the northwest, by Brooklyn
Boulevard on the northeast, and by four- plexes on the southeast and southwest.
The home is classified under state law as a "residential facility" or group home
and is a special use in the R5 zoning district. A Special Use Permit for a
group care facility for up to 9 persons at 6451 Brooklyn Boulevard was granted
by the City Council on January 26, 1976 under Application No. 76006,
The applicant has submitted a brief letter (attached) explaining that the ex-
pansion and remodeling would allow the home to serve as many as 11 young girls
(there are 9 girls at present) though it is anticipated that only 10 will
actually be present. During the day, while children are in school, there is one
staff member on duty. In the afternoon, while children are home, there are two
to four staff members on duty, depending on the program for that given evening.
At night, while children are asleep, there is one staff member on duty. The
girls are between 13 and 17 years of age, are considered "pre - delinquent" and
are generally from home environments which pose problems for their healthy
personal development. Welcome Community Home offers family counseling, follow -up
counseling, and cultural and recreational activities (see copy of brochure at-
tached). There is a van which is exclusively for the use of this home to
transport clients. A facility such as this is licensed by the Department of
Public Welfare under the Public Welfare Licensing Act.
The applicant has also submitted a site layout of the property which is not
professionally drawn and which is inaccurate in at least certain details (see
copy of drawing attached). Staff have not asked for a survey of the property,
but for a professionally drawn site plan which accurately depicts the current
and proposed situation. For all practical purposes, an as -built survey of the
property is probably the most appropriate means of verifying existing conditions.
The applicant proposes no site revisions. However, staff feel that the current
parking arrangement may not be adequate. Some of the parking space is not im-
proved. Parking and driving areas are not bounded by curb and gutter as is
required of most R5 uses. The Commission may recommend a waiver of this require-
ment in lieu of the nature of the facility, but we feel more examination of the
parking demand of the facility (including van, staff, and visitors) is needed.
And, it is necessary to have an accurate drawing by a professional surveyor or
engineer to evaluate the parking situation. Staff have asked for a better
drawi'ng,but the applicant has not yet responded.
The applicant is pursuing no change in the program offered other than the addi-
i
t onal number of clients. The application should not jeopardize the existing .
special use authorization. However, the parking provisions do have to meet the
concerns raised by standard (d) of the Standards for a Special Use Permit
(attached). That standard requires that adequate measures have been or will be
taken to provide ingress, egress and parking so designed as to minimize traffic
congestion in the public streets." The information submitted, we believe, is
insufficient to determine whether, in fact, this standard is met. Staff there-
fore recommend that the application be tabled until appropriate site information
is provided.

APPL ICAT.,ON TvOS. 8 001 AND 40v- lPey H omes , OmPS Inca
Following the Chairman's explanation, the Secretary introduced the first item of
business, a request for site and building plan and preliminary plat approval for a 28
unit townhouse development on the old Madsen Floral property and the excess back
yards of four neighboring lots. The Secretary reviewed the contents of the staff
report (see Planning Cam:?issi.on Information Sheet for Application, Nos. 84001 and
84002 attached) . The Secretary briefly reviewed with the Commission some of the
history of the development; proposal. He explained that the application eras tabled
�- p p p
at the January 2 meeting to allow people in the neighborhood a chance to react to the
Y � people g
plans in light of the agreement between the neighbors and the property owners. He
explained that the plan approval would acknowledge a density credit for one
townhouse unit and briefly explained the provisions in the ordinance for such
density credit. He reviewed the conditions of approval recommended by staff and
reviewed the plat and site plan layout on an overhead projector.
Chairman Lucht asked the applicant whether he had anything to add. Mr. Reynolds
responded that he had nothing to add to the staff report. The Secretary added that
the Planning Commission had asked that the plans be modified to diversify the 6"
diameter trees along the central driveway so that they would not all be Ash trees.
Commissioner Sandstrom asked what was wrong with Ash trees. Chairman Lucht
explained that Ash trees were alright, but that the likelihood of survival of the
trees would be enhanced if various species were used as opposed to all of one specie.
PUBL HE ARING ( APP LICATION NO. 3 4002)
Chairman Lucht then opened the meeting for a public hearing and asked whether anyone
present wished to speak on the application,. He asked whether people had attended
the meetings that were held to review the development proposal and whether the
neighbors were satisfied. Still there was no comment from anyone present.
Hearing none, he called for a notion to close the public hearing.
2 -16 -84 -1-
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
Motion by Commissioner Malecki seconded by Commissioner Ainas to close the public
hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
Chairman Lucht then asked the Planning Commission if they had any comments regarding
the development proposal. Commissioner Simmons read the following statement and
asked that it be entered in the record:
"Five years ago the City Council granted Art Kvamme and his
associates an R -3 rezoning of their property, based almost
entirely on a legal agreement which had been arranged between the
Kvamme group and the homeowners (called "Neighbors ") within a 350 -
foot distance of the property in question.
After many false starts, and three years after the City could have
rescinded the rezoning if it had chosen to do so, Mr. Kvamme and
Reynolds Builders have finally come up with a serious development
plan.
This plan in several important ways violates the contract agreed
upon five years ago. But over those five years, the property
owned by the t 4 Neighbors" has changed hands, and certainly some
minds have been changed as well.
Five years ago I became the unofficial spokesmen for the concerned
"Neighbors." From force of habit, I have continued to represent
the viewpoint of concerned neighbors during the past year, and
Brooklyn Center staff members have continued to ex pect me to
represent these neighbors' interests.
The fact is, though, that my own personal interest in that
development has waned over the years. I can't see the planned
development from my windows, and I doubt that the noise from the
development will bother me.
Several weeks ago I distributed copies of the five - year -old
agreement to 17 neighbors whose property abuts or faces the
planned development, on the theory that they will be most directly
affected and should be involved in any discussion or negotiation
with the developers. Later I arranged for all interested
"Neighbors" within 350 feet to meet to study the Kvarnme /Reynolds
plans and to decide among themselves what, if anything, they
wanted to do to protect their interests. I made a point of not
attending that meeting, because the whole purpose of it was to let
the people most directly concerned decide for themselves what they
wanted to do.
At that meeting, the "Neighbors" are reported to have decided not
to do anything to represent themselves in dealings with the
developers. That decision frees me to turn my attention to other
matters of more direct concern to me.
I will not, however, vote to approve this application, because the
plans submitted do not conform with the agreement upon which the
City Council's original rezoning was based."
2 -16 -84 -2-
Following her statement, Commissioner Simmons stated that she would not vote on the
application.
Commissioner Sandstrom stated that one of his concerns had been lighting and that
that seems to have been taken care of with the revised landscape and lighting plans.
Chairman Lucht explained to those present that the trees on the landscape plan are
shown at the size that they will reach at a mature growth and that they would not
initially be that large. He stated that the plant materials that were proposed in
the landscape plan were good and that when they grow, they will accomplish ti:e
screening that is called for in the ordinance. Commissioner Simmons noted that Mr.
Beck, who lives at 5507 Camden Avenue forth, had expressed previously a preference
for a fence. ChairrPan Lucht recognized Xr. Beck. Mr. Beck stated that he dial, in fact, prefer a fence. The Secretary stated that the plan could be revised to
provide fencing in that area.

Application Nrs.84OO1, 84002
Applicant: Reynolds Homes, Inc.
Location: 56th and Aldrich Avenues llorth
Request: Site and Building Plan, Preliminary Plat
The applicant requests site and building plan and preliminary plat approval to
build a 28 unit townhouse developMent at the former Madsen Floral site at 56th
Avenue North and Aldrich Avenue North. The 3.35 acre site is bounded by single -
family homes facing Camden Avenue North on the east, by 55th Avenue North and two
single - family hor-Ies on the south, by single - family homes facing Bryant Avenue
North on the west, and by two single - family homes and 56th Avenue North on the
north. These applications were revie�, =ed by the Planning Comimission at its January
12, 1984 sleeting. The applications were t(zbled to give surrounding neighbors the
opportunity to consider the proposed development plans.
To our knowledge, the surrounding neighbors have been invited to two meetings:
one to consider the plans held on January 23, 1984 and arranged by the neighbors;
and a second to view a model firsthand held on February 4, 1984 and arranged by
the developer, Apparivn;ly only a 1 in;iited number of people showed up at either
riaeeting.
The applicant has submitted a revised landscape and lighting plan. It calls for
fencing aloe the property lines adjoining the residences at 5501 Camden Avenue
., 9 P p Y ,7 g
North, 800 and 806 55th Avenue North and 809 and 813 56th Avenue North. Landscape
screening is proposed in all other areas, chiefly the east and west property lines
of the project. Five coniferous tees are proposed at the end of each driving
lane serving the various units. Two or three more coniferous trees are to be
located opposite the outer end of each quad home. Other plantings have also been
beefed up to .fill in the gaps. in addition, the plan calls for three street
lights along the :rain central drive. Each unit will have an outside light on the
front and side wall making a total of eight outside lights on each four -unit
building.
The two westerIv buildings have been tilted at an angle that allows for a 15'
buffer strip adjacent to all residential lots. No changes in the building plans
have been proposed. The builder has indicated to staff that 80% of people who
buy new units ask to have the lower living area finished off. Other aspects of
the development plans are unchanged. The Commission is referred to the earlier
staff report for other details.
Altogether, the plans appear to be in order and approval is recommended subject
to at least the following conditions for Application No. 84001;
1. Building plans are subject to review and approval by the Building
Official wits respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of
permits.
2. Grading, drainage, utility and berming plans are subject to review
and approval by the City Engineer, prior to the issuance of permits.
3. A site ,performance agreement and supporting financial guarantee (in
an amount to be determined by the City Manager) shall be submitted

Dear Bill:
As we had discussed previously and again on the phone the other day,
the City Council of Robbinsdale took action at its dune 7, 1963 meet-
ing to seek from the City of Minneapolis their proposal, in writing,
regarding the possibility of de- annexing from Brooklyn Center that
portion of land on the north and eastern edge of Ryan Lake, and the
annexation of that same property to the City of Minneapolis.
The Council, by common consent, agreed that if the Minneapolis pro -
posal included the purchase of teat Ryan Lake property, and the
perpetual dedication of the land to public park purposes (through
some stipulation in the deed to that effect), that the Robbinsdale
. City Council would have no reservations about the City of Minneapolis
proceeding to acquire that land and annex it..
If this is in fact the intent of the City of Minneapolis, please con -
firm your proposal, in writing, to us so that I may pass this infor-
mation on to our City Council.
If you have any questions about the the Council's action, please
don't hesitate to call me as we are anxious to resolve the situation.
Sincerely,
�/ , l

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Membership in the Municipal Legislative Commission
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Attached is some information sent to me by the City Manager of Brooklyn Park on
behalf of the Municipal Legislative Conyrission soliciting our interest in joining
their organization.
This Commission was set up as a suburban legislative lobbying effort. As you know,
Brooklyn Center, as do other suburbs, believes that suburban interests are not as
well represented as they should be at the Legislature. This organization is
designed to represent suburban interests. One of the problems the League of Cities
and the Metro Association of Municipalities has is the fact that it's difficult to
reach a consensus because of the divergence of municipal interests in those
organizations. The Municipal Legislative Commission was created to somewhat
narrow this diversity by specifically representing suburbs. However, if you look
• at its membership list, the opportunity for disagreement and divergence is
certainly there within this organization as well as the others.
The cost of joining this organization annually is set at 25 cents per capita or
approximately $7,700 per year. I have been told, depending on how aggressive and
extensive the membership wants the lobbying effort to be, that in the future the fees
will may not be at the full amount of 25 cents per capita. You should understand when
a new organization starts up there's a need to develop operating capital to run on
and develop a sound financial base. The joint powers agreement calls for relatively
easy withdrawal from the organization on an annual basis.
I will be prepared to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of joining this
organization more extensively at the Council meeting.
Respectfully s hm / i�tted,
Gerald G. Splinter
City Manager

BACKGROUND 1 -9 -84
For quite some time there have Caen groups formed to protect what they perceive
to be their interest when consid&, red by the legislature. The Small Cities'
group in the state has lost some of its punch; the "Loser's Group has become
the Municipal Caucus, and we have become a $200 member of this group. Often
these groups trying to represen their members have such diverse interests
y g ts
that they often work at crass- puirposes and may be almost totally negative in
their approach.
For a number of months, Managerz from these cities; i.e., Bloomington, Brooklyn
Park, Burnsville, Eagan, Eden P nairie, Edina, Maple Grove, Maplewood, Roseville,
White Bear Lake, Woodbury, Minnetonka, Shoreview and Plymouth, have been meet-
ing and working on a Joint Powers Agreement, trying to define a general purpose
for interviewing and engaging a lobbyist to protect or work for our defined
n g 1 P
interests. Even with just 14 communities, there can be a diversity of interest;
and as the legislature comes into session, problems are identified which may
not even be known at this time..
Thus, I cannot tell you the No.. a precise objective that this group seeks to
achieve. However, it could represent the clout of 450,000 population; and
(a Agreement is drawn such that —each and every municipality would have an
cted official on the Comriissi r- and its appointed administrator. The
Chair would be an elected represzntative and the Vice -Chair would be an
appointed representative. It was determined at first that a 25 cent per
capita lid be placed.on membership, but this was reduced to $14,000 to prevent
some communities from avoiding e because they already have individual
lobbying efforts.
r
As I indicated in my Budget Mess-age, 72.3% of our revenue sources ces are not
under our control and there wotz,lLd be the assumption that we would be working
with the legislature can local gcvvernment aids or legislation affecting our
budgets. Thus, the amount inveg_;.ed is of little consequence compared to
what might be achieved., although. there is never a direct relationship between
the lobbying efforts and achievements.
I think the Council should favc;rably consider participating in this organiza-
tion with the understanding that there is a withdrawal clause should we not
wish to continue on into the future. However, there was the disclosed intent
that this not be a one -shot dear,, but rather an ongoing process.
