OPEN FORUM
97o Nyquist noted the Council had received an in-house request to use the Open
Forum session this evening from Administrative Assistant Tom Bublitz.
Administrative Assistant Bublitz addressed the Council and stated that he was
speaking as acting president of the Earle Brown Farm Estates Townhouse Association.
He explained that at a recent meeting of the Association's general membership the
sidewalk easement through the town house development was discussed. He noted that
a number of persons at the Association meeting raised objections to the sidewalk
location. Administrative Assistant Bublitz noted that he had discussed possible
alternate locations through the development with the Director of Public Works. He
then requested the Council to refer the item to the Earle Brown Farm Estates
Townhouse Association Board of Directors in order that they respond to some of the
objections raised by the membership. He added that he hoped that by referring the
issue to the board a solution could be achieved which would be both acceptable to the
City and the town house residents.
The Director of Public Works stated that there would be no problem in delaying the
construction of the sidewalk by one week, and proceeded to review the proposed
alternative location for the sidewalk. He added that the change in location would
probably require some adjustment in the contract price, and added that there would
be no additional cost for a change in the location. He also noted that if an
alternative was selected an easement must be granted to the City by the Townhouse
Association by next Monday.
Councilmember Theis noted that when the townhouse project was originally proposed,
the concerns of the neighborhood to the north and west were for access for the
neighborhood to Freeway Boulevard and Shingle Creek Parkway, and -a concern that this
access be situated in such a way that it would not be placed in a straight line coming
into Thurber Road. He added that another consideration was access to the bus for
one individual living on 67th. He added that the access for this individual would
9 -26 -83 -1-
be approximately the same for either of the locations proposed for the sidewalk. He
commented that if the Townhouse Association can agree on an alternate he would not
think it would be a problem for the neighborhood.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mrs Zayra who stated that she was a homeowner in the Earle
Brown Farm Estates Townhouse Development. Mrs. Zayra stated that she was concerned
that the sidewalk location may be changed, and noted that she counted on the location
of the,sidewalk when buying her unit. She added that she had just moved into the
development and was concerned that her interests were not represented at the general
membership meeting of the Townhouse Association.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Mrs. Florence Johnson, 5731 Fremont Avenue North, who
stated that she was speaking on behalf of the senior chorus and expressed a belief
that the chorus is good public relations for the City, and requested that the Council
give serious thought to funding the senior chorus in the 1984 budget.
PRESENT OF CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR AWARD TO POLICE CHIEF JAMES
ZMAY
May o - r — Nyquist recognized F�r. Robert R Rygg, Washington County Civil Defense

outstanding Civil. Defense Director of the year in the metropolitan region by the
Minnesota Association of Civil Defense Directors. He added that Chief Lindsay has
don an '
e outstanding ,gib as the City's Civil Defense Director.
The City Manager introduced Mr. Max Seeker, the Emergency Preparedness Director for
Hennepin County, and Corky Segal, amember of the Emergency Preparedness Department
of Hennepin County. Mr. Seeker stated that Chief Lindsay is typical of the type of
Civil Defense Director in Hennepin County and that it was a distinct honor to be part

RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE HEMPIN URBAN COUNTY HOUSING REHABILITATION GRANT PROGRAM
GUIDELINES

Rich Theis, and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof :
Dean Nyquist, Gene- Ihotka, Celia Scott, Bill Hawes, and Rich 'Theis;; and the
following voted .against the same: none, whereupon said resolution was declared
duly passed and adopted.
The City Manager introduced the Resolution Accepting Bid and Approving Agreement
with Motorola for the Maintenance of the City's Radio Communication System. The
City Manager noted that the low bidder does not have the same capability to maintain
the system as does Motorola, particularly with regard to the necessary equipment and
training to maintain the system.
Councilmember Lhotka inquired as to what the maintenance contract includes. The
City Manager replied that the contract would include maintenance on all radios in
the City system. Councilmember Lhotka then inquired as to the cost of the contract
in past years. Administrative Assistant Hoffman stated- that the cost was
approximately $350 per month, excluding the radios from Hennepin County.
Mayor Nyquist inquired whether the City has had any experience with the low bidder in
the past . The City Manager explained that the low bidder worked on the City's old
equipment but that the company does not have the test equipment or training to
service the new system. Administrative Assistant Hoffman added that Air Comm had
noted in their bid that they would purchase the needed testing equipment but that the
cost of the equipment exceeds the cost of the contract. Additionally, he painted
out that the training package which Air Comm said they would ;purchase is not
available currently. The City Manager stated that he reviewed the bids with Mr.
Ward Montgomery and that his concern was with the training aspect. He added that
Mr. Montgomery was concerned that a reliable person be available to work on the
system, if it goes
Councilmember Lhotka stated he was concerned that the bid of Motorola, in the amount
of $1,090.50 per month is not totally explained to the extent that it can be
determined whether it is an economical bid for the City. The City Manager stated
that what the City now pays is time and materials, and that the staff is convinced
that the bid of Motorola is the most economical way to go. He added that he could
break down the bid costs further for a better explanation.
There was a motion by Councilmember Lhotka and seconded by Councilmember Theis to
table consideration of the resolution until the October 3, 1983 City Council meeting
to allow the staff time to clarify the various components of the bid.. Voting in
favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting
against: none. The motion passed unanimously.

RFSOLUTIONS (CONTINUED)'
The City Manager introduced a Resolution Amending 1983 Employee Position and
Classification Plan and explained that the resolution provides for the
establishment of a maintenance worker position as provided within the 1983 budget
for the Government Buildings Division.
The Director of Public Works explained that he believes it is necessary to designate
one individual to be responsible for the maintenance of equipment in City hall and
other locations in the City. Currently, he pointed out, there is no one person
specifically responsible and that by designating one employee the individual will
be responsible for the maintenance of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing
9 -26 -83 -10- ;
systems in the City owned buildings. He pointed out that two of the five present
custodians- have achieved the required engineer's license required for the
maintenance worker position. He noted that in the current job, descriptions
custodians are not specifically responsible for the maintenance of mechanical
equipment in City buildings.
Councilmember Lhotka requested information comparing the cost of the maintenance
worker position with accomplishing the work through an outside contractor. The
Director of Public Works explained that the cost comparison would be difficult to
develop on the basis of current costs. He noted that on the basis of wage rates the
maximum salary increase over the custodian position is $3,600 per year, not
including fringe benefits, and added that the maintenance worker on staff will allow
the City to establish a preventive maintenance program and will save dollars on this
basis.
The Director of Finance stated that it is difficult to compare the cost between in-
house and outside contractors since some of the maintenance on equipment was not
done in the past, and that in the past the City relied on outside contractors
completely.
The City Manager explained that the boiler and mechanical systems in the City hall
are 10 and 12 years old, and that preventive maintenance was not addressed in the
past, and some major repairs could possibly have been avoided in the past if a
preventive maintenance program were in place.
Councilmember Lhotka stated that he would support a preventive maintenance program
but inquired how long it would take for the maintenance worker to assume full
responsibility. The Director of Public Works explained that the training would
entail two to four three -day seminars at approximately $100 per seminar, for a total
cost under $1,000. He noted it would probably take one year to develop a full
preventive maintenance schedule, and two to three years for the maintenance worker
to achieve full proficiency in a preventive maintenance program.
After further discussion by Councilmembers, Councilmember Theis stated that he
would have to support the staff recommendation in this instance, including the
approach to the development of preventive maintenance programs.

DISCUSSION ITIMS
OR�DIMCE AF TDING THE BROOKLYN CENTER CITY CHARTER
The City Manager explained that this item was discussed at the September 12, 1983
City Council meeting, and consideration of the ordinance amendment was held over to
this evening's meeting.
The City Attorney stated that he had a recent discussion with Mr. Michael Beauchane,
the chairman of the Charter Commission, and that there are apparently only two
provisions in the proposed amendments which are still in question. He stated than
Mr. Beauchane has indicated that section 5.09 of the Charter will remain unchanged,
and that the amendment to section 8.04 was requested by the City Manager and pertains
to performance bonds He noted that the original language in the Charter does not
refer to performance bonds, but that the language refers to public contractors bonds
which are used to protect the workers on specific projects: He recommended that the
word "shall" be placed in the ordinance and that this section refers to public
contractors bonds. He stated that it is the request of the Charter Commission to
have the Council refer the ordinance back to them for final consideration before it r
is offered for a first reading.
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
refer the Ordinance Amending the Brooklyn Center City Charter to the Charter
9 - -83 -13-
Commission. Voting in favor: Playor Nyquist, Councilmembers I,hotka, Scott,
Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
SPONSORSHIP OF EtIERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXPLORER POST
Police Chief Lindsay noted that on September 1 _ 1983, 13 individuals applied for
membership to the Explorer Post,, and that he would like to recommend that the
Explorer Post be sponsored by the City of Brooklyn Center under the activity of
Emergency Preparedness. He noted that half the candidates are female and that they
would assist in functions of the police department and fire department in disaster
situations, such as tornadoes or other disasters, and would free up the police and
fire personnel for more critical activities.
Councilmember Theis asked what age bracket the individuals were in. Chief Lindsay'
stated that the age of the Explorers' is 14 to 21 yrs.
There was a motion by Councilmember Hawes and seconded by Councilmember Scott to
approve the sponsorship of the Explorer Post by the City of Brooklyn' Center under the
activity of Emergency Preparedness, and to authorize the City treasurer to accept
donations and keep them in a trust account until a treasury is established for the
Explorer Post. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Ibotka, Scott,
Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
REVIEW OF CITY POLICY ON A DMINISTR ATIVE PERMITS FOR SPECIAL BUSINESS PROMOTIONS
UNDER SECTION 35-801 OF THE CITY ORDINANCE
' ee �ity 1 re�erred7o members to the information prepared by the staff
and included in the Council's agenda packets. He pointed out that the current
permit structure is to allow two 1O-day permits for most businesses, except service
stations, which are allowed three 30-day permits. He added that the staff believes
the Council could allow more promotions but they should not be more than 30 days.
Mayor Nyquist inquired whether there were any problems with the existing promotions
allowed in the ordinance. The City Manager stated that the only problem presented
was in a car wash situation and that was solved by putting the car wash, which is
usually conducted by some type of community organization outside the permit
process. The only other problem, he pointed out, was with regard to merchants not
being aware of their time periods.
Councilmember Theis stated that he believes the permit periods under the ordinance
should be brought closer together, and that he could not see a substantial
difference in the nature of a service station and a business like the Goodyear store
in Brooklyn Center.
Councilmember Lhotka stated that a discrepancy exists now in the ordinance, and that
he does not and did not in the past feel what was given to the service stations was
justified He explained that if adjustments are made in the ordinance it should be
done on a comprehensive basis, and inquired of the City Attorney whether there was
anything the Council could do for the Goodyear store which initiated the request.
The City Attorney stated that he believed there was nothing the Council can do unless
the Council knows exactly what change in the ordinance would be made. Typically, he
pointed out, permits could be granted before the ordinance is adopted if the Council
knows what change will be made.
Councilmember Scott stated that she agreed with Councilmember Lhotka's belief that
9 -26 783 -14-
the ordinance should be reviewed on a comprehensive basis. There was a motion by
Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Ihotka to direct the City staff to
prepare an Amendment to the City Ordinance Regarding Special Business Promotions
under Section 35-801 of the City Ordinances, and to address the amendment the
special the special business promotions allowed under the ordinance in a
comprehensive fashion. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Ihotka,
Scott, Hawes and Theis. Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager stated that the staff would meet with chamber members and come back
to the Council sometime in October.
UPDATE ON LIQUOR LICENSE ORDINAITCE REVISIONS
The City Pianager referred Council members to the draft of the staff recommendations
for revisions to the City liquor ordinance. He added that cities can be more
restrictive than state law but cannot be less restrictive than state statute. He
added that the liquor license fees in Brooklyn Center have not been changed since
1968. He also noted that the staff has had two meetings with chamber
representatives to discuss the ordinance changes, and that the chamber, along with
current license holders, support the concept of keeping the "neighborhood bar" out
of the City. He explained the chamber representatives have indicated a preference
for a food and liquor split of 60/40 rather than the 50/50 ratio which exists ° now.
He pointed out that the chamber representatives were not representing the official
- policy of the chamber, but rather were present for discussion purposes.
The City Manager pointed out that one option discussed was a sliding fee scale for
percentages below the 50/50 split. He explained the staff supports a penalty or
additional fee for establishments dropping below the 50/50 ratio. Also, he pointed
out, the staff supports a reduction of liquor license fees for establishments with
higher than a 50/50 split . The City Manager pointed out that the staff supports the
maintenance of the 150 seat requirement for a restaurant, the continuation of some
type of ratio for food and liquor, and stressed the importance of the license fee
amount.
Councilmember Hawes inquired whether the Council could issue a 90 day license to
establishments to assess the experience of the operator with regard' to meeting the
ratio requirement. The City Manager stated that, typically, the first 90 days of
any operation are not a good indication of operating experience and may be skewed one
way or the other. The City Attorney added that he does not think there is a
provision in the law for a liquor license less than one year.
Mayor Nyquist inquired why liquor licenses are so difficult to revoke once they are
granted. The City Attorney stated that where the violation is based on a specific
formula a violation is easier to prove, but he pointed out the Minnesota Supreme
Court is leading: toward viewing the license as a property right.
Councilmember Theis then inquired that if a percentage or ratio is adjusted would
not the City still have the same problem concerning establishments not being able to
meet the ratio. The City Manager stated that he agreed with Councilmember Theis'
comments and that changing the ratio or percentage does not solve the problem.
Councilmember Theis then inquired if there would be a possibility of instituting a
penalty clause for establishments not meeting the ratio. The City Attorney stated
9 -26 -83 -15-
that he does not think the City could do this under the statute since the statute does
not provide for a sliding fee scale. However, he pointed out, it would be possible
to have a license schedule which would require different fees for a 40% ratio as
opposed to a 459 or any other variation. He added that this could possibly be,
justified on the cost of services provided to the bar. He added that he would have -
to research this option further.
Councilmember Theis then inquired whether a 10 -day suspension would be possible for
establishments not meeting the ratio. The City Attorney stated that no City has
done this but that he believed the City could do it since it would be an automatic
revocation if the ratio was not met. Councilmember Theis then asked whether
suspension of a liquor license was possible under the existing ordinance. The City
Attorney commented that he does not believe it is possible under the City's current
ordinance.
Councilmember Theis then inquired whether the bowling revenue could be included in
the dollar amounts used, to meet the ratio. In response to Councilmember Theis'
question, the City Attorney stated that the split liquor statute allows the City.to'
license hotels and restaurants, and that the City's regulations should deal only
with hotels and restaurants.
Councilmember Scott suggested a possible 60/40 split for bowling alleys and motels,
and pointed out that restaurants don't seem to have a problem with the 50/50 ratio.
She added that, in effect, bowling alleys are being penalized for simply being
bowling alleys. The City Attorney commented that he believed Councilmember Scott
brought up a good point in that a bowling alley is not really a restaurant, and that
it raises the problem that the City is currently dealing with. He pointed out that
the split liquor statute allows the City to license restaurants and hotels only, and
that the present statute was enacted because the legislature assumed that the City
of Brooklyn Center wanted to attract hotels and restaurants.
The City Manager stated that the staff will try to give the Council something with
more flexibility than the current ordinance presents.
Councilmember Theis inquired as to the anticipated time table for the ordinance
amendment. The City Manager stated that he would anticipate returning to the
Council by the second week in October. Councilmember Theis stated that he is
concerned with regard to the deadlines presented by ordinance changes, particularly
with regard to renewal of liquor licenses at the end of the year. The City Manager
indicated that he believes the proposed changes wilI likely be noncontroversial,
and that any controversial items which required further discussion could be
deferred to 1984.
Mayor Nyquist inquired of the Council members whether they had any problem with
changing the 50/50 ratio. Councilmember hhotka stated that he would have a hard
time changing the current ratio on the basis that license holders cannot meet it.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Nonni McCauley, Executive Vice President of the Chamber,
who stated that the Chamber has to deal with the entire business community, and that
one of the current trends she had become aware of in the restaurant business is that
younger people are changing their eating and drinking habits and are often eating
lighter' meals than in the past. She added that this will have an affect on
restaurants. She added that she would like to commend the Council on looking at the
ordinance changes, and that she would be happy to work with the staff -on any proposed
9 -26 -83 -6-
revisions to the ordinance.
Councilmember Hawes inquired of Ms. McCauley whether she would have any problem with
changing the license fees if the ratios were also changed. Ms. McCauley stated that
she would view this as a trade -off.
Councilmember Theis requested the City Manager to also survey other cities with
split liquor.
PUBLIC HEARING ON 1984 CITY BUDGET
Mayor Nyquist reconvened the budget hearing on the proposed City budget for 1 984.
The City Manager referred Council members to M&C No 83 -7 dated September 22, 1983
regarding an update on the 1984 proposed budget.
Councilmember Theis inquired what type of policy the City has with regard to license
fee changes. The City Manager explained that thus far the City has revised its
license fee schedule on an intermittent basis, and pointed out that the largest
revenue source from license fees is the liquor license fees. He added that the
staff has not kept the fees up-to -date, and has focused primarily on the expenditure
side of the budget rather than the revenue side. Councilmember Theis stated that he
was concerned that the rates should be evaluated on a regular basis, and added that
he believed the amount of the fee should be set to defray any costs of issuing
licenses, which has been the traditional philosophy of license fees.
Councilmember Ihotka stated that he would like more adequate information with
regard to proposed attorney's_ fees for 1984 than was given in the City Attorney's
letter. He added that he believes the costs are getting out of line and that he is
concerned with the high cost of legal services. - In response to Councilmember
Ihotka I s inquiry, the City Attorney stated that the civil work done for the City has
not increased that much, but that the criminal work began to exceed the °civil work'
approximately three years ago, due in part to increased DWI enforcement. He also
pointed out that in 1984 the City Attorney's office will be prosecuting gross
misdemeanors which the County Attorney has handled previously. He explained that
there has been a lot of business in the criminal area and that prosecutors generally
find it difficult to cut back on criminal cases. He added that 1200 to 1300 hours
have been put in on criminal work this year.
The City Manager pointed out that the hourly, cost charged by the City Attorney is
generally in the middle or lower range of the law firms in the metro area. Police
Chief Lindsay stated that his office has asked the prosecutor when plea bargaining,
to consider fines. Also, he pointed out, judges are concerned that a defendant can
buy a reduced fine from DWI to careless driving. Finally, he pointed out, Brooklyn
Center now has two court days per week and not one as in the past.
Councilmember Ihotka stated that he is aware that the costs are hard to predict but
posed the possibility that the Council may decide to put the legal services out on
bid.
Councilmember Ihotka stated that he would like the Council to address the issue of
funding the senior citizens choir. Councilmember Theis stated that he believes the
senior choir is a good thing for Brooklyn Center, and that the City has not used the
group as much as it should. He added that, generally, the Council has not put in new
programs in this year's budget but that he would like some support given to the
9 -25 -83 -17-
choir. Councilmember Scott stated that she agreed with Councilmember Theis and,
that she believed the senior choir is worthy of support. Councilmember Ihotka,
stated that the Council has cut funds to other groups in the past, including the band
and children's chorus. Councilmember Theis stated that the City does give
something to the other groups, and that the groups have been cut back but not
eliminated from the budget. Councilmember Hawes stated that he would like to see
this organization supported financially.
Councilmember Hawes stated that he would like to see some type of guidelines
developed for the funding of groups, such as the senior choir. The City Manager
explained that guidelines could be developed but typically these types of
guidelines are subjective and difficult to establish. Councilmember Hawes
suggested that perhaps criteria such as the number of years the organization has
been in existence could be considered when funding.
Mayor Nyquist recognized Ms. June Scofield, director of the senior choir, who stated
that the seniors now pay $6 per quarter for registration for the senior choir and a
dollar for bus rides to performances. She added that approximately one half of the
cost of the group is paid for by its membership.
The City Manager stated that one of the problems, if criteria are established, is
that any group meeting them could conceivably be funded. He added that he would try
to develop some type of guidelines for the Council's consideration.
Councilmember Theis stated that he would like to match Brooklyn Park's contribution
to the senior choir which is $400, and that he hoped that the activities of the senior
choir would be promoted in Brooklyn Center.
There was a motion by Councilmember Theis and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
include funding in the 1984 budget for the senior choir in the amount of $400.
Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis.
Voting against: none. The motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Theis requested the City Manager to review the proposed year 2000
study. The City Manager stated that he would recommend that a committee or
committees be established within the community to develop the project with..a
coordinator hired to do the "legwork" for the project. He added that the committee
would give the direction and the coordinator would carry out the direction. He
pointed out an example where the staff could provide trends on the housing stock in
the City, and the committee could give direction on recommended policy for how to
maintain adequate housing.
Mayor Nyquist stated that the project may be a candidate for the public /private
partnership task force.
Discussion continued regarding the year 2000 study, and there was a general
consensus of Council members to support the study.
Mayor Nyquist opened the meeting to a discussion of the City's dues paid to the
League of Minnesota Cities. The City; Manager stated that he has a meeting
League of Minnesota Cities officials scheduled next week.
Councilmember Zhotka noted that there was a fluctuation in the ad valorem levy
stated in the budget for years 1981 and 1982. The Director of Finance stated that he
9 -26 -83 -18
J
would.double check the figures and respond to Councilmember Lhotka's inquiry.
The City Manager stated that if the Council wants to approve the budget it can direct
the staff to prepare a resolution for its October ,3, 1983 meeting which would also
document the changes directed by the Council.
Mayor Nyquist noted a letter from the League of Minnesota Cities regarding the
possibility that state aids maybe restored. The City Manager stated that the state
legislature has not been known for the predictability in the past, and that the staff
will research this as to the likelihood of restoring the $185, 000 in state aids which
had been cutback.
The Director of Finance, in response to Councilmember Ihotka's inquiry, stated that
the actual levy in 1982 should be $2,182,365.
There was a motion by Councilmember Ihotka and seconded by Councilmember Hawes to
direct the staff to prepare a Resolution Adopting the 1 984 Budget and which would
reflect the changes directed by the City Council. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist,
Councilmembers Lhotka, Scott, Hawes, and Theis. Voting against: none. The
motion passed unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT
There was a motion by Councilmember Scott and seconded by Councilmember Lhotka to
adjourn the meeting. Voting in favor: Mayor Nyquist, Councilmembers Lhotka,

Dear Mayor
During the week of October 30, 1983 through November 4, 1983, people
through out the State of Minnesota will be <involved in a unique effort
to prevent the problems of alcohol and drug abuse among our young
people. A description of this project, known as "The Chemical People
Minnesota" is described in the attached flyer.
In this area, there is a committee organized through the efforts of the
Chemical Awareness staff of District No. 281 which is promoting "The
Chemical People: Minnesota" project. This committee is comprised of
representatives from District No. 281, local Human Service Agencies,
and municipal staffs including police officers. At the request of
this committee and because of my belief in the value of this project,
I.am requesting that your City Council adopt the enclosed resolution
which proclaims the week of October 30, 1983 - November 4. 1983, as
"Chemical People Week" in your community. The four hour television
series around which this project is based will be aired during that
week on public television and your proclamation will serve to provide
invaluable publicity for these programs.
As municipal officials, as parents, as just plain citizens, we all
recognize the costs, both economic and emotional, of'drug and alcohol
abuse to our communities. Your cooperation in adopting this resolution
will provide some measure of assistance to a group which is working
toward the alleviation of this most serious problem. If you have
questions or wish further information on this matter, please call
Bob tVicklund at Robbi.nsda.le City hall, 537 -4534. I thank you for
whatever effort you can put forward on behalf of this project,
Sincerely,
R%=nd A. Mattson

facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gerald G. Splinter, City Manager
James Lindsay, Chief of Police
FROM Barbara Pietrzak, Administrative Aid
DATE: October 14, 1983
SUBJECT: Summary of Proposed Changes in the Liquor
Ordinance
There have been numerous changes in the State Statutes in
1983 which affect our Liquor Ordinance. Because of this,
it was decided to totally update the Ordinance. Many of the
proposed changes are housekeeping in nature, while others
are not. This is an outline of these proposed changes.
Many of the housekeeping changes were done throughout the
Ordinance; these I have listed first.
First, anywhere "Liquor Control Commissioner" is stated was
replaced by "Commissioner of Public Safety" as this was a
change within the structure of the State offices.
There were several sections throughout the Ordinance which
listed the possible penalties for misdemeanor offenses. We
have tried to remove these and put it in the ordinance just
once at the very end.
Anywhere the word "minor appears was replaced by the wording
"a person under 19 _years of age" or something similar.
The State has now deleted all requirements prohibiting the
sale of beer, wine or intoxicating liquor on election days.
These were deleted throughout the Ordinance.
A couple of years ago, the handling of liquor applications
was transferred to the Police Department since they are
responsible for the investigation. Previously, it had been
handled out of the City Clerk's office Everywhere in the
ordinance where forms are to be submitted to the City Clerk
was changed to the Chief of Police.
Nonintoxicating Liquor
The first change in this section is the addition of a fee
for investigation. Previously an investigation was required,
but no fee was charged for this. This is an addition to
11 -103, subdivision 2.
Memo to Splinter & Lindsay
Page 2
October 14, 1983
Next is 11 -106, subdivision 4, which states that a license
cannot be issued to an alien. This has been clarified to
read anyone whose background is unreasonable to checks which
is the logic behind disallowing an alien.
Section 11 -111 regarding the restrictions on purchase and
consumption was rewritten in the wording of the State Statute.
Section 11 -116, which was a repeal of a prior ordinance was
taken out completely.
Municipal Liquor Stores
This section was previously titled "Off -Sale Liquor Dispensary ".
Everywhere through this section that Off -Sale Liquor Dispensary
or just Dispensary appear was changed to read Municipal Liquor
Store or Liquor Store.
In Section 11 -204, Hours of Operation, there were several
changes. Friday is now added to Saturday as days they are
allowed to stay open until 10:00 p.m. In the list of holi-
days they are required to be closed, Memorial Day is taken
out as it was from State Statute.
Section 11 -205, the Operation of the Liquor Store was totally
rewritten. Mainly the language was cleared up to make it
more understandable and sections stating they could not have
such devices as pool tables or gambling devices present were
stricken as that would be illegal in any event.
Subdivision D in this section now sets up procedures for
banning a person from the liquor stores. Previously this
was done administratively and had no controls set for it.
Section 11 -206 previously was to state that this Liquor
Store section had no effect on the licensing and regulating
- of 3.2 beer. This was thought unnecessary and was stricken.
Section 11 -207 is a wording change. "All police officers
and constables of the municipality" was changed to read "the
police department of the municipality
Sections 11 -301, 11 -302, and 11 -304 were stricken as they
deal with minors and penalties which are already covered
elsewhere in this ordinance.
Memo to Splinter & Lindsay
Page 3
October 14, 1983
Section 11 -303 Liquor on School Grounds, was rewritten to
refer to the proper State Statute and the phrase "spiritous
or malt liquor" was rewritten to "beer, wine, or intoxicating
liquors ".
The next section which had previously been titled "Consump-
tion and Display of Intoxicating Liquor" was retitled, "Set
Up License in order to clarify as this is what it is referred
as in State Statute.
In Section 11 -402, the fee was changed to be submitted to the
City Manager rather than the City Treasurer.
Section 11 -403 now provides for a one -day set up license for
nonprofit organizations with the City as issuing authority.
This was not provided for in the old ordinance, but these
licenses were available from the State
In 11-404, a line was added which requires any licensed
premise which requires a membership word or item for entrance
to provide such to the Police Department in order for them
to be able to inspect the premises without the licensee's
prior knowledge or consent.
Section 11 -406, Hours of Operation for clubs was a new addi-
tion taken completely from State Statute wording. This was
previously covered under hours of operation for all liquor
establishments, but the New State Statute has some different
requirements for clubs which required us to separate them out.
Intoxicating Liquor
Anywhere throughout this section where the phrase "principal'
part of the business appeared, the phrase "significant part
of the business" was subsituted.
In Section 11 -501, subdivision 11, the definition of a club,
the number of years an organization has to be in existance in
order to qualify for a license was 15 years for a civic,
fraternal, social or business club and 10 years for a- chartered
veterans' organization. This was changed by the State to a
3 year requirement for all.
In Section 11 -502, subdivision 1, the listing of the kinds of
licenses available was changed to list the four classes of
intoxicating liquor licenses.
Memo to Splinter & Lindsay
Page 4
October 14, 1983
Subdivision 2 of 11 -502 was rewritten to define these four
classes of intoxicating liquor licenses. It also provides
which class a new licensee falls under and sets a required
food sales percentage for wine license holders.
Section I1 -503 states the number of licenses the City is
allowed to issue. Previously the reader was referred to a
State Statute. Since the Statute referred to was outdated,
and in order to make the Ordinance easily understood, we
have substituted the number allowed us, which is 18.
In 11 -504, subdivision 14, the last line which stated that
if plans were on file with the Building Department they need
not be filed with the City Clerk has been deleted.
Subdivision 15 was amended to read "such other information
as the Chief of Police shall require, in order that informa-
tion can be 'obtained during the investigation which is not
set down in this ordinance if necessary.
11 -507, License Fees, was amended with regard to On -Sale
Club licenses. Previously State Statute allowed us to
charge a $100 fee for a club license. They have changed
to allow the fee according to the number of members in the
group. A copy of the excerpt from the appropriate State
Statute is attached to this memo. (Attachment 1)
Subdivision 2 the date for deadline for renewal license
payments was changed from December 20 to December 15 in
order to allow enough time to get licenses on final, council
agenda for passing at the last meeting of the year.
Subdivision 4 was rewritten to be more understandable. Its
intent was to allow the license fee to start on the date of
occupancy in the event it had prior approval by the Council.
This is for the purpose of prorating the fee.
Subdivision 7 was amended to bring the investigation fees
for liquor licenses up to what is allowable by State Statute.
It now allows for actual costs up to $10,000 out of state and
$500 in state.
In subdivision 8, the fee charged for updating -a license,
which was previously a straight $50, was changed to also
allow for actual costs.
Memo to Splinter & Lindsay
Page 5
October 14, 1983
Section 11 -508 under Investigations of Applications, the
last line was changed to "The City Council may authorize
such additional investigation as it shall deem necessary.
In Section 11 -509, subdivision 3, the alien clause was
again amended to same as in the nonintoxicating section.
Section 11 -511, subdivision 13; a definition of business
records was added so that we have a set standard for the
comparison of different establishments when auditing the
food /liquor splits.
A new subdivision, 19, was added which again requires any
establishment which has a word or item required for admittance
to leave such with the Police Department for their admittance
for inspection purposes
In 11 -512, the Hours of Operation, a restriction of sales
after 8 :00 p.m. on December 24 was added as it was to the
State Statute.
Section 11 -515, Liability Insurance, was rewritten in
accordance with the changes in State Statute. I have
attached a copy of the excerpt from the State Statute which
pertains to this. (Attachment 2)
Attachment 1
Excerpt from Minnesota Statutes, Section 340.11, subdivision
11; as amended in 1983 legislature.
The license fee for an "on- sale license issued by a
municipality pursuant to this subdivision shall be in an
amount determined by the governing body thereof subject to
the following limitations up to $300 for _a veterans'
organization or fraternal club with a membership of 200 or
Tess; up to $500 for a veterans organization or fraternal
club with a membership of between 201 and 500; up to $650
for a veterans organization or fraternal club with a
membership of between 501 and 1,000; up to $800 for a
veterans organization or fraternal club with a membership
of between 1,001 and 2,000; up to $1,000 for a veterans
organization or fraternal club with a membership between
2,001 and 4,000; up to $2,000 for a veterans organization
or fraternal club with a membership of between 4,001 and
6,000; and up to $3,000 for a veterans organization or
fraternal club with a membership of more than 6,000
Attachment 2
Minnesota Statutes 1982, section 340.11, subdivision 21, is
amended to read:
Subd.21. Liability Y insurance. Ever person licensed to
sell at retail intoxicating liquor or non - intoxicating malt
liquor at on- sale or off -sale shall, after August 1, 1983,
demonstrate proof of financial responsibility with regard to
liability imposed by section 340.95, to the authority
issuing the license as a' condition of the issuance or
renewal of his license, provided this subdivision does not
apply to licensees who by affidavit establish that they are
on -sale non - intoxicating malt liquor licensees with sales of
less than $10,000 of non- intoxicating malt liquor for the
preceding year, or off -sale non - intoxicating malt liquor
licensees with sales of less than $20,000 of non-intoxicating
malt liquor for the preceding year, or holders of on -sale
wine licenses under subdivision 20, with sales of less than
$10,000 of wine for the preceding year.- The issuing
authority must submit to the commissioner the proof of

requiring higher insurance or bond coverages, or a`larger
deposit of cash or securities than is required hereunder, as
a condition of issuance or renewal of a retail intoxicating
liquor or non- intoxicating malt liquor on -sale or off -sale
license.

M & C No. 83 -9
October 14, 1983 ,
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: Changes in our Liquor License Ordinance and
License Fees
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Attached are various documents giving background information relating to either'
changes in our liquor license ordinance or liquor license 'fees. Among these
documents are information sent to us by the Chamber of Commerce relating to this
subject, and copies of proposed ordinance changes and fee changes.
During the redrafting of the new liquor licensing ordinance various discussions
were held between the staff and the Chamber of Commerce . We also reviewed potential
changes to the ordinance with the Council at one of your previous meetings. The
proposed draft submitted this evening for your consideration as a first reading is a
draft developed and recommended to you by the City staff. During the development of
this proposed first reading the City staff kept in mind the original intent of the
ordinance, which was to first achieve maximum tax base benefits to Brooklyn Center,
increase job opportunities in the area and as a result provide added- revenues to the
City and School Districts. It was also the intent of the original drafters of the
ordinance to avoid development of "corner bars or saloons ". Your staff is
convinced the proposed modifications in this draft submitted for your review will
` accomplish the same objectives as the original ordinance. " We believe the continued
high quality of the liquor license establishments in Brooklyn Center will be
maintained by this ordinance, and you will continue to avoid what has become to be
known as the "corner bar" problem. We believe the provisions of this ordinance
which relate to controlling the problems of liquor establishments and also
maintaining the high quality development relate to three provisions within the
ordinance. The first being the fact the ordinance requires the liquor licensee to
have a minimum of 150 restaurant seats. Another section of the ordinance which we
believe is important to accomplish the original goals of.this ordinance is the
section which requires currently that there be at least 50% plus food sales in
relation to liquor. The "third section of the ordinance, which we believe is a major
contributor to the quality of the liquor establishments, is the license fee.
We recommended no change in the 150 seat requirement for restaurants as we believe
this is adequate to assure quality development. With relation to the ratio of food
to liquor sales we are proposing a modification in the current ordinance standards.
The proposed modification would allow a 60% liquor 40% food sales ratio. With
regard to the third key element of the ordinance which is the license fee, we are
recommending four classes of licenses relating to food /liquor sales ratios. If the
license holder has food sales of or more, the license fee would be $9, 000; if food
sales are 50% through 79%, the license fee will be $12,000; if food sales are 45%
through 49%, the license fee would be $15,000; and if food sales are 40% through 44 %,
the license fee would be $18,000. With the establishment of a. sliding fee scale we
• are putting a premium on those establishments which have a food sales percentage of
less than 50%. We are also reducing the license fee for those establishments who
M & C No 83 -9 -2- October 14, 1983
have a food sales of 80% or more. Currently the license fee for all licenses is
$10,000. We are proposing to increase that basic fee to $12,000 annually. With
the sliding fee scale we are recognizing that the more liquor sold by a licensee
compared to food, the more actual and potential problems and .cost are incurred by the
City.
Based on past history and our knowledge of food and liquor sales of some of the
establishments during 1983, we would estimate that in 1984 one or possibly two
restaurants might qualify in the 80% and above food sales bracket. We currently
would estimate that one or two of our licensed establishments could fall into the
brackets below the 50% mark.
We have checked with representatives of the Ramada Inn, and they have two facilities
in the metropolitan ' area similar to their proposed facility in Brooklyn Center.
One has historically met the current ordinance requirements of more than 50% food
and the other has historically fell short and has been in the area of 43% to 44% food
sales. In the attached materials you will find a survey conducted by our police
department relating to the various licensing requirements in the metropolitan area.
We found that while many communities started out with a 50% plus minimum food
requirement, a number of them have changed to a 60% liquor 40% food minimum
requirement.
There are a number of other changes in our first reading liquor license ordinance
which have been dictated or allowed by recent changes in the State laws Because
this ordinance' represents a redraft of an older, patchwork type ordinance, it may be
easier for us to explain orally at the meeting what changes of this nature are
proposed in this ordinance.
Should any member of the Council have any further questions in relation to this
proposed ordinance change, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully submitted,
Gerald G. Splinter

liquor facility
