MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA JOINT WORK SESSION WITH FINANCIAL COMMISSION NOVEMBER 21, 2011 CITY HALL - COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Joint Work Session with the Financial Commission and the session was called to order by Mayor Tim Willson at 6:30 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmember Carol Kleven, Kay Lasman, and Dan Ryan. Also present: City Manager Curt Boganey, Fiscal and Support Services Director Dan Jordet, Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, and Deputy City Clerk Maria Rosenbaum. Others present were Financial Commissioner Steve Landis. Financial Commissioners Dan Schueller arrived at 6:33 p.m., Rex Newman arrived at 6:34 p.m., and Teneshia Plunkett arrived at 6:37 p.m. • WATER FUND UTILITY RATE City Manager Curt Boganey discussed the funds on this agenda are ones that had been previously discussed with the City Council and Financial Commission and that staff had since then explored options for further discussion. Fiscal and Support Services Director Dan Jordet outlined the three scenarios being offered with water rates for 2012; no debt, four percent increase, and five percent increase. He outlined PowerPoints that helped illustrate the three scenarios and the debt that would incur with the four and five percent increases. Consensus at this time was to increase rates in 2012 by eight percent in hopes of reducing any debt that may later have to be incurred. CAPITAL BUILDING MAINTENANCE PLAN FUNDING Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug discussed since the last discussion of the 2012- 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) the "to be determined" projects have been identified. He outlined the estimated cost of $1,634,000 for projects to be done in 2012; mostly including improvements to the Community Center. There was discussion regarding the energy savings and benefits to keeping the Community Center as is versus a new Community Center. It was noted that the energy savings should not be a big focus at this time since more information will be gathered regarding energy savings. • 11/21/11 -1- DRAFT City Manager Boganey added that in the future department operating budgets should take these types of maintenance projects annually; however this goes on tax levy or other general fund and for 2012 • staff is recommending to move forward at this time and to identify a source of general funding. Funding next year for building maintenance will be a priority. STREET RECONSTRUCTION FUNDING Fiscal and Support Services Director Jordet discussed that it is being recommended to consider issuing tax supported improvement debt to continue the street reconstruction funding beginning in 2014. He outlined two scenarios to consider, one being to postpone or stretch out the schedule so that sufficient cash can be accumulated from franchise fees. The other scenario would be to issue improvement bonds which would be paid by tax levy. There was discussion regarding the two scenarios and the outcome for both and consensus was to have numbers run with increased assessments. City Manager Boganey added that this is not a decision that needs to be made for 2012 budgeting purposes and that the 2012 CIP will remain the same at this time. NEXT STEPS November 28, 2011 Adopt Utility Rates and Pay /Cafeteria Plan December 5, 2011 Budget Hearing December 12, 2011 Adoption of Final Tax Levy and 2012 Final Budget ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Kleven seconded to adjourn the Work Session at 8:45 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. • 11/21/11 -2- DRAFT MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS • OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 21, 2011 CITY HALL — COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Work Session and the meeting was called to order by Mayor Tim Willson at 8:46 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmembers Carol Kleven, Kay Lasman, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Fiscal and Support Services Director Dan Jordet, Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, and Deputy City Clerk Maria Rosenbaum. CONSUMPTION BASED SANITARY SEWER RATE • Fiscal and Support Services Director Dan Jordet discussed that staff had prepared three different scenarios for changing the sanitary sewer rates for residential properties from a flat rate system to a consumption based system. He outlined the three models that would change the charge for sewer service based on the amount of water used in the winter quarter of the billing year with a low -base fee of $10, a mid -base fee of $20, and a high -base fee of $30. There was discussion regarding the presented scenarios and also the outcome of staying with a flat rate, adjusting the flat rate between classes, and the possibility of developing a hybrid flat rate (if the current software will support one). There was consensus of the Council to stay with a flat rate and to discontinue development of any alternate sewer rate model. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded adjournment of the City Council Work Session at 9:45 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. • 10/10/11 -1- MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY • OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA STUDY SESSION NOVEMBER 28, 2011 CITY HALL — COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Study Session called to order by Mayor Tim Willson at 6:00 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmembers Carol Kleven, Kay Lasman, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Director of Fiscal and Support Services Dan Jordet, Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel, Director of Community Activities, Recreation and Services Jim Glasoe, Assistant City Manager /Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning, and Carla Wirth, Timesaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Councilmember Lasman requested the following correction to the Study Session minutes of • November 14, 2011: Page 2, 8 th paragraph: "Councilmember Lasman Kleven stated she will plan to attend." It was the majority consensus of the City Council to accept the correction of the November 14, 2011, Study Session minutes. Councilmember Ryan requested discussion on Item 9b, Planning Commission Application No. 2011 -020 Submitted by Independent School District No. 286, specifically related to the Planning Commission Application by ISD 286. He stated he is in support but wondered if staff could make mention of the funding mechanism for this undertaking to construct a new recreation center, gymnasium, and basketball court. City Manager Curt Boganey stated it is part of the special sales tax authorized for the construction of the Twins stadium approved by the Legislature with a percentage to be available for sports programs in Hennepin County. Councilmember Lasman noted the facility has locker rooms but does not include showers. Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel stated it provides restrooms and a storage room and the intent is for a casual workout and practice sessions. Mr. Boganey requested discussion on Item 10d, Ordinance Relating to Licensing of Rental Properties; Amending Brooklyn Center City Code Section 12 -910. He explained this item is on • 11/28/11 -1- DRAFT tonight's agenda for first reading of an amendment to the City's licensing code. It is also • scheduled for discussion at tonight's Work Session. Mr. Boganey stated the modification proposed is straight forward to address concerns raised by Mr. Soderberg, and the City Attorney has drafted language for the City Council's consideration. It was noted the City Council can act on that proposed ordinance or postpone action so it can be discussed. If approved, the amendment allows staff to accept a new rental license during the revocation period and allows the City Council to approve the new rental license with an effective date following the end of the revocation period. MISCELLANEOUS None. DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS YOUTH PARTICIPATION REQUEST Director of Community Activities, Recreation and Services Jim Glasoe introduced the item and indicated members of the Brooklyn Youth Council had invited the City Council to its Blue Jean Ball and requested time on a future agenda to tell the City Council about their organization and how they can assist the City Council with decisions involving youth. Kayla Gray, 6909 Regent Avenue N. and Naomi Chan, 9010 60' /z Avenue N., New Hope, • described the establishment of the Brooklyn Youth Council in 2008, current membership, goals, and vision to lower the rate of violence, create safer environments for all, and more resources for youth. The Brooklyn Youth Council would like to be more interactive with the Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center City Councils to help communicate concerns on issues that affect the City's youth and to help make decisions that would improve the community. Ms. Gray offered the Brooklyn Youth Council's assistance to gain insight of youth on important issues and services that affect youth, become more representative of the community as a whole, and engage youth in the governmental progress. The City Council was invited to send a liaison to Brooklyn Youth Council meetings to discuss issues impacting the community and how to bring youth's voice to the conversation. At the invitation of Mayor Willson, those in attendance introduced themselves. The City Council expressed its appreciation to the Brooklyn Youth Council members for attending and complimented Ms. Gray and Ms. Chan on their presentation. The City Council indicated the youth's perspective is important and it has high hopes for hearing their input. The majority consensus of the City Council was to direct staff to schedule discussion on a future Work Session agenda of the Brooklyn Youth Council and feasibility of a Council Liaison. RENTAL LICENSE — REVOCATION PROCESS • 11/28/11 -2- DRAFT Mr. Boganey introduced the item and reviewed the City Council's February 14, 2011, action relating to revocation of the Brookhaven Apartments. It was noted that on November 14, 2011, • James Soderberg addressed the City Council and indicated his interest in purchasing this property. However, under the current City Code Mr. Soderberg would be unable to make rental license application prior to the expiration of the 12 -month revocation, effectively resulting in a revocation period that substantially exceeds 12 months since the application process can take 60 days or more to complete. Mr. Boganey referenced the ordinance amendment drafted by City Attorney LeFevere that would allow for an application to be accepted and processed by staff prior to the end of the revocation period. It also allows the City Council the ability to act on said application; however, the effective date of the new license would commence after the expiration of the revocation period. Mayor Willson stated this clause had been placed in the ordinance because the City Council did not want ownership to change hands every other month or as a token gesture by owners to obtain a new rental license. The clause assures that if the City Council determines a revocation, the full term would run regardless of new ownership. Mayor Willson acknowledged a hardship does exist if a new owner comes into the building and does not have a set time when they can tell the bank the license will be approved. If the new owner can do up front licensing and get approval by the bank, the property could be rented once the revocation is expired. Councilmember Lasman stated support for the amendment, noting the revocation period would still have to be served regardless of ownership. She noted the need to assure the ordinance language protects the City in the event there is irresponsible behavior. In addition, all • requirements must be met in the new rental license application. Mr. Boganey indicated the City will need to determine timing for when a rental license application will be accepted, inspections made, and Council action scheduled so the process can be completed prior to the end of the revocation. He noted the application would be subject to the same rules, regulations, and standards. Mr. Boganey indicated that the licensing approval would spell out those issues if the process is completed several months in advance of the revocation expiration. Mayor Willson agreed the City Council would base approval on conditions and the same stipulations would be in place, such as the mitigation plan. Mr. Boganey reviewed the timing for the application and inspection process and suggested the ordinance address timing so that an application can be received no sooner than 90 days prior to expiration of revocation, which is the current ordinance requirement for property owners to make a new application 90 days prior to expiration. Mayor Willson suggested language from an administrative perspective to assure a "last look" of the property just prior to the end of the revocation period. Mr. Boganey concurred and noted it is a unique situation when there is a new owner. • 11/28/11 -3- DRAFT Councilmember Ryan stated he favors the change in principle with the reservations expressed by • Councilmember Lasman to protect the interest of the City and have strict enforcement of the ordinance. He noted the intent of the ordinance is that the revocation be fulfilled. Councilmember Ryan stated he felt Mr. Soderberg had expressed a reasonable request but the City Council needs to approach the amendment carefully to assure it meets the interest of the City. Mr. Boganey stated he wanted to make it clear that should this ordinance be adopted, it will apply to good and bad landlords as well as new and prior owners of a license that is revoked. The ordinance would not discriminate on the quality of the applicant. Also, even if this amendment is adopted on first reading tonight, it does no good in terms of Mr. Soderberg's desire to acquire a particular property because by the time it takes effect it will be after the revocation period. Mr. Boganey noted the City Attorney had pointed out if the City Council specifically wanted to address the concerns of Mr. Soderberg it could reduce the revocation period for the specific property at hand. However, the City Council has not considered that action in the past. Mayor Willson cautioned the City Council that changing the revocation period can be a "slippery slope" if the City does not know who is purchasing the property or their intentions. In this case, he noted the City has a proven track record with Mr. Soderberg but that may not always be the case. Mayor Willson stated he tends to agree that on the surface it appears to be a hardship on the buyer to wait out the term of the revocation prior to being able to make application for a new rental license. • Councilmember Kleven stated if possible, she would like to consider a change in the revocation period for Mr. Soderberg as long as it does not establish precedence. Mr. Boganey noted a significant issue is that if the City Council changes the revocation period it cannot be done for Mr. Soderberg but only for the property. In addition, Mr. Soderberg is not the new owner so the revocation reduction would go to the current owner and future buyer. Councilmember Lasman felt that would be a dangerous precedence to consider. She agreed that Mr. Soderberg has a good track record but that is not the case with all landlords. Mr. Boganey explained that during Mr. Soderberg's initial conversation he was interested in acquiring the property and looking for any option available to move forward. Reducing the revocation period was one option discussed. Mr. Boganey stated he had indicated that based on previous history, it is probably not something the City Council would likely do. Councilmember Ryan agreed the essential point was that revocation was against the property and it would be speculating on the ultimate ownership since this property is in receivership and if the past owner satisfies the mortgage, they could be back in the picture. • 11/28/11 -4- DRAFT ADJOURN STUDY SESSION TO INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH CITY COUNCIL Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Stud Session • Y Y at 6:45 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. RECONVENE STUDY SESSION Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to reconvene the Study Session at 6:47 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. RENTAL LICENSE — REVOCATION PROCESS — CONTINUED Mayor Willson asked if proof of ownership can be provided if the property is in receivership. He noted the time period will probably work itself out by the time the revocation expires. Councilmember Lasman pointed out that if the City Council chose to reduce the revocation period, it would not work itself out. She stated if Mr. Soderberg does not benefit by this amendment, she is not comfortable making this ordinance amendment. Councilmember Lasman stated she would be nervous about considering a reduction of the revocation period. Mayor Willson stated he tended to agree. He believed that at some point the City will have a • hardship case, but it is not this one. Mayor Willson noted the City Council is not being asked at this point in time to shorten the revocation period but is being asked to look at the ordinance because of the circumstances. He stated he does not think the City has to take action at this time to amend the ordinance since the City Council does not have a clear understanding of all of the pieces. Mayor Willson stated the City Attorney's assistance is needed in drafting language to cover the City's interests in looking at shortening the revocation period and timing to apply for a new rental license prior to expiration of the revocation. Mr. Boganey stated his recollection from conversation with Mr. Soderberg is that this type of change is one he would favor for any owner at any time in the future regardless of whether he directly benefited today or not. Mr. Boganey indicated the amendment results in an ordinance that is more equitable and fair and reasonable. The other point is that this issue has been raised by others who found themselves in a situation where they wanted to acquire a property that had a revoked rental license and wanted to expedite the process. Mr. Boganey explained the amendment is not in response to one property owner's interest but in response to what appears to be a common argument that staff hears again and again. It is a question whether the City wants to keep telling the property owners that is how the ordinance is written or if this is the time for the ordinance to be more flexible. Mayor Willson agreed the amendment is not being driven by one property owner but is an issue of fairness. He felt a hardship did not exist and the City Council does not have full details; • 11/28/11 -5- DRAFT therefore, he would not support first reading to amend the ordinance tonight. He indicated he • wants more discussion on this item. Councilmember Lasman stated the protective language contained in the ordinance was deliberately included but maybe times have changed in Brooklyn Center and an amendment should be considered. She noted the bottom line is that the revocation period will be served. She stated if Mr. Boganey is comfortable with the amendment, then she is also comfortable. She stated she does not need additional time to consider the amendment as long as the revocation time period will be served. City Attorney LeFevere stated it seems the City Council may wish to make additional changes to the ordinance beyond what is proposed tonight. He explained the amendment, if approved, would make the punishment more precise. The current ordinance indicates a property owner cannot submit an application for a new license until the revocation is up. Because it takes a while to complete the rental licensing process, which cannot start until the revocation has expired, it results in additional punishment that is unintended. Councilmember Ryan stated he appreciates the remarks by Messrs. Boganey and LeFevere that the revocation period would be for a definite period. He indicated he would favor first reading. Mr. Boganey explained if the amendment is approved for first reading tonight it will be back on the City Council's agenda for second reading in January 2012. • ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Study Session at 7:00 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 11/28/11 -6- DRAFT MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY • OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION NOVEMBER 28, 2011 CITY HALL — COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1.

PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2011 -019 SUBMITTED BY T J • WEBER PROPERTIES. REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL TO REPLAT THREE CONTIGUOUS PARCELS LOCATED AT 6000 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD Planning and Zoning Specialist Tim Benetti provided an overview of Planning Commission Application No. 2011 -019, request by T J Weber Properties for a preliminary plat to replat three contiguous parcels located at 6000 Brooklyn Boulevard. He reviewed the history of this property, displayed a site plan of the subject site, and described the property location, and access points. Mr. Benetti advised of a comment received during the public hearing about not closing any access points to Brooklyn Boulevard at this time. He advised the Planning Commission recommended approval of the applications at its November 17, 2011, meeting subject to four conditions as detailed in the draft resolution. Mayor Willson stated when he served on the Planning Commission, curb cutouts and driveways that did not align or were in dangerously close proximity were considered when the property was replatted. Mr. Benetti stated he reviewed the file and in 2003, when the Special Use Permit was considered, the issue of Brooklyn Boulevard access was not brought up. He indicated engineering and planning staff recommended access closures but the Planning Commission did not recommend furthering those closures at this time. Mr. Benetti noted Brooklyn Boulevard is undergoing extensive study, which may provide an opportunity to close those access points. Mayor Willson stated he does not recall signage at that access point to direct the public that it is • not a cut through or public crossing. He indicated if the City knows this is a potentially dangerous intersection and there is no signage to negate that situation, it behooves the Council to take the responsibility to make that determination. Mr. Boganey stated the Mayor's comments are appropriate and noted the Planning Commission makes a recommendation with the final decision by Council so it can deviate on that issue. Public Works Director /City Engineer Steve Lillehaug stated his recommendation to close the two Brooklyn Boulevard driveways revolves around the fact that Brooklyn Boulevard is a regional corridor, more for mobility than local access. He indicated that as a goal, it would be good for the County and City to minimize local access points. Pertaining to the access point on 60 Avenue, he noted it is right in the intersection and a very unsafe access point. Mr. Lillehaug explained the two driveways on 60 Avenue would remain and be adequate for this site. Councilmember Lasman noted the southeast access area is used for stacking family cars so closing that access would not change the traffic flow. Mr. Benetti advised that according to Mr. Weber, the front area is used for temporary parking for families and service vehicles. He advised that Mr. Weber offered to provide signage and chain that driveway to preclude any vehicles from using it. Councilmember Lasman noted closing the southeast access would not impact the concern of the resident as much as closing the other two access points and may be a compromise position. • 11/28/11 -4- DRAFT Mayor Willson stated from a safety standpoint, the Council has to look at closing the access since it is so near to the intersection and basically uncontrolled. However, the concern is only • that one access point and if the owner is willing to manage access with a chain and signage he has no problem allowing it to remain. 1. RESOLUTION REGARDING THE DISPOSITION AND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2011 -019, A REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL OF EVANS NORDBY ADDITION SUBMITTED BY THOMAS J. WEBER ON BEHALF OF T J WEBER PROPERTIES, LLC The Council discussed amending the resolution to reflect the change in the access to be chained and include signage to limit access. City Attorney LeFevere recommended staff work with the applicant to draft specific language for Council consideration at the next meeting. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Kleven seconded to table consideration of Planning Commission Application No. 2011 -019 to December 12, 2011, to allow time for staff to revise the resolution. Motion passed unanimously. 9b. PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2011 -020 SUBMITTED BY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 286. REQUEST FOR SPECIAL USE AMENDMENT AND SITE AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL TO . CONSTRUCT A NEW 62 X 112' RECREATIONAL CENTER AND GYMNASIUM ALONG WITH A FUTURE 50' X 84' OUTDOOR HARD - SURFACED BASKETBALL COURT Mr. Boganey provided a summary of Planning Commission Application No. 2011 -020 and advised the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application at its November 17, 2011, meeting. Mr. Benetti provided an overview of the request by Independent School District No. 286 for a Special Use Amendment and Site and Building Plan approval to construct a 62 -foot by 112 -foot recreational center and gymnasium in addition to a future 50 -foot by 84 -foot outdoor hard - surfaced basketball court. He displayed colored photographs and site plans of the subject site and described the location of detention basins and proposed buildings. Mr. Benetti advised the Planning Commission recommended approval of the applications subject to 19 conditions as detailed in the draft resolution. Councilmember Ryan stated the funding for this project is through sales tax for the Twin's Stadium that resulted in a dedicated fund to enhance youth sports. It is not being funded by the School District's regular budget. Mr. Boganey stated that is correct and the City was a signatory to the grant applicant because it envisioned a partnership with the School District. • 11/28/11 -5- DRAFT Mayor Willson extended the City's appreciation to Mr. Lester for continuing to find funding and • grants, noting this is a good plan and great partnership with the City. 1. RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -153 REGARDING THE DISPOSITION AND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2011- 020, A REQUEST FOR SPECIAL USE AMENDMENT AND SITE AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVALS FOR INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 286 TO CONSTRUCT A NEW RECREATIONAL CENTER/GYMNASIUM AND OUTDOOR BASKETBALL COURT FACILITIES Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -153 Regarding the Disposition and Approval of Planning Commission Application No. 2011 -020, a Request for Special Use Amendment and Site and Building Plan Approvals for Independent School District No. 286 to Construct a New Recreational Center /Gymnasium and Outdoor Basketball Court Facilities. Motion passed unanimously. 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS 10a. CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6 -MONTH PROVISIONAL RENTAL LICENSE FOR 7137 GRIMES AVENUE NORTH • Assistant City Manager /Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning advised that 7137 Grimes Avenue North was inspected and 13 property code violations were cited and ultimately corrected. There have been zero validated police incidents /nuisance calls within the last 12 months. This property qualifies for a Type IV six -month provisional rental license based on the number of property code violations found during the initial rental license inspection. In addition, the property owner did not attend required ARM meetings. The property owner is also required to submit a mitigation plan and report monthly on the progress of that plan. Ms. Schleuning reviewed actions taken in regard to this rental license application and indicated Staff has reviewed that mitigation plan and held discussion with the property owner and recommends approval based on meeting standards in the mitigation plan. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Djuana Banks, 7137 Grimes Avenue N., stated she has owned this property since 2005 and this is the first time she has had an issue with a tenant, which is the reason it took so long. Ms. Banks stated she believed the licensing process should be more of a partnership between the City and property owner. Since the next ARM meeting is not until January of 2012, she suggested the City provide an alternative, such as an on -line opportunity. • Mayor Willson noted staffs recommendation is not to deny but to approve. 11/28/11 -6- DRAFT Ms. Banks concurred and noted the approval would only be for six months and she would • request a longer term. Ms. Schleuning explained the previous licenses were for two years and this is the first application under the new ordinance. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. The Council discussed the high number of code violations. Mr. Boganey described how the Council had developed rental license categories based on the number of code violations found upon inspection. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to approve the issuance of a Type IV six -month provisional rental license and mitigation plan for 7137 Grimes Avenue North, with the requirement that the mitigation plan must be strictly adhered to before a renewal rental license would be considered. Motion passed unanimously. 10b. CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6 -MONTH PROVISIONAL RENTAL LICENSE FOR 6101 XERXES AVENUE NORTH Ms. Schleuning advised that the owner of 6101 Xerxes Avenue North received a Type IV Rental • License on May 10, 2011, on condition of adherence to the Mitigation Plan. The property would qualify for Type III Rental License; however, the owner failed to comply with the Mitigation Plan (required attendance at ARM meetings and submittal of monthly updates) and according to City ordinances, if the requirements of the license category and Action Plan are not met, the license renewal category remains a Type IV. It was noted that the property was inspected and six property code violations were cited and ultimately corrected. Ms. Schleuning reviewed actions taken in regard to this rental license application and indicated Staff has reviewed the mitigation plan and held discussion with the property owner and recommends approval of a Type IV 6 -month Provisional Rental License based on meeting standards in the Action Plan. Mayor Willson referenced the dates of application and license expiration. He asked whether this is a property that has been problematic in getting its rental license renewal. Ms. Schleuning explained the property owner had been confused about meeting the requirement for ARM attendance and the mitigation plan. She noted there is a good chance that it will be difficult to meet all of the requirements within six months and if so, staff may provide a different recommendation the next time. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. No one wished to address the Council. • 11/28/11 -7- DRAFT • Councilmember Kleven moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. 1. RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -154 APPROVING A TYPE IV RENTAL LICENSE FOR 6101 XERXES AVENUE NORTH Councilmember Kleven moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -154 Approving a Type IV Rental License for 6101 Xerxes Avenue North. Motion passed unanimously. 10c. CONSIDERATION OF 2012 UTILITY RATES Mr. Boganey introduced the item, reviewed the history of the Council's consideration of 2012 utility rates, and stated the purpose of the draft resolution. He explained the rate changes assure each utility operates as a self - supporting enterprise fund and does not rely on tax dollars or other public subsidy in order to fund cost of operations or capital improvements. Mr. Boganey indicated the resolutions include the following rate adjustments: 8% increase in water utility rates, 3% increase in sewer utility rates, no change in storm sewer utility rates, $1 /quarter/household increase in street light rates, and no change in recycling rates. The reason • for the increase is to assure sufficient cash on hand in order to fund the anticipated reconstruction program needs of the City. Secondly, the increase is based on the expectation that the City will continue to fund improvements, to the greatest extent possible, on a cash basis and avoid borrowing or limit amount of borrowing. Councilmember Lasman noted the 8% increase in water rates is from $1.40 per 1,000 gallon to $1.51 per 1,000 gallon, or a quarterly increase of $2.16. Councilmember Ryan indicated Brooklyn Center is the third lowest in water costs when compared to other municipalities because the City is gifted by having three wells with substantial aquifers not requiring treatment. 1. RESOLUTION NO. 2011-155 ADOPTING 2012 WATER UTILITY RATES, FEES AND CHARGES Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Kleven seconded to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -155 Adopting 2012 Water Utility Rates, Fees, and Charges. Motion passed unanimously. 2. RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -156 ADOPTING 2012 SEWER UTILITY RATES, FEES, AND CHARGES • 11/28/11 -8- DRAFT Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to approve RESOLUTION • NO. 2011 -156 Adopting 2012 Sewer Utility Rates, Fees, and Charges. Mr. Boganey indicated the Council discussed whether to consider a consumption sewer rate based on the amount of water being disposed into the sewer system; however, determined the flat rate methodology is reasonable and a fair mechanism at this time. Motion passed unanimously. 3. RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -157 ADOPTING 2012 STORM SEWER UTILITY RATES, FEES AND CHARGES Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -157 Adopting 2012 Storm Sewer Utility Rates, Fees, and Charges. Motion passed unanimously. 4. RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -158 ADOPTING 2012 STREET LIGHT RATES AND CHARGES Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -158 Adopting 2012 Street Light Rates and Charges. 5. RESOLUTION NO. 2011-159 ESTABLISHING 2012 RECYCLING RATE • Councilmember Kleven moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2011 -159 Establishing 2012 Recycling Rate. 10d. AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO LICENSING OF RENTAL PROPERTIES; AMENDING BROOKLYN CENTER CITY CODE SECTION 12 -910, PARAGRAPH 7 Mr. Boganey introduced the item, noting this ordinance amendment was thoroughly discussed during tonight's Study Session. If approved, the amendment would allow a new rental license application to be accepted before the end of a license revocation period and allow the Council to consider approval with an effective date after the revocation term. In this way, the revocation period would not have to exceed the original intended term for the revocation. Mayor Willson stated that based on the recommendation of the City Attorney, he would prefer to table consideration to allow staff time to draft revised language. Mayor Willson moved and Councilmember Kleven seconded to table consideration to allow time for staff to revise the ordinance. • 11/28/11 -9- DRAFT 0 0 0 Mayor Willson stated his major concerns relate to reducing the revocation period, need for • language to ensure an inspection is done prior to the new owner receiving a rental license, and that the application not be accepted prior to 90 days before the revocation period expires. Councilmember Lasman stated support to move the first reading forward and take up the issue of the revocation period as a separate agenda item. She noted the proposed ordinance amendment would require the property to serve out the full revocation term but would allow the flexibility for the property owner and City to facilitate the application process. Councilmembers Kleven, Lasman, and Ryan voted against the same. Motion failed. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to approve first reading of an Ordinance Relating to Licensing of Rental Properties; Amending Brooklyn Center City Code Section 12 -910, Paragraph 7 and set second reading and Public Hearing for January 12, 2012. Mayor Willson voted against the same. Motion passed. 11.

She also encouraged all to vote at the upcoming election for the Council vacancy and announced the opening of Oceans Buffet. Councilmember Ryan announced that Holly Sunday is December 4, 2011, and suggested residents mark their calendars and attend the family friendly events. He noted that December 6, 2011, is the primary election for the vacant City Council seat and urged all to come out and vote. Councilmember Ryan reported on his attendance at the following: • November 14, 2011, Joint City Council and Financial Commission Work Session • November 15, 2011, Park and Recreation Commission meeting • November 22, 2011, Joint Community Police Partnership and Neighborhood Coalition meeting Councilmember Lasman reported on her attendance at the following: • November 16, 2011, Crime Prevention meeting • November 16, 2011, met with Sue LaCrosse on the time capsule and Centennial events Councilmember Lasman reviewed Holly Sunday events commemorating the City's centennial year. 11/28/11 -10- DRAFT Mayor Willson reported on his attendance at the following: • • November 15, 2011, Dangerous Dog Hearing with Councilmember Kleven in attendance where the Board determined, after a period of 6 months, that the dog owner had done well and revoked the determination of dangerous dog. • November 21, 2011, Budget Work Session Mayor Willson invited residents to join Holly Sunday events to celebrate 100 years of Brooklyn Center's existence. 12. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded adjournment of the City Council meeting at 8:16 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 11/28/11 -11- DRAFT • MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA WORK SESSION NOVEMBER 28, 2011 CITY HALL — COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER The Brooklyn Center City Council /Economic Development Authority (EDA) met in Work Session called to order by Mayor /President Tim Willson at 8:24 p.m. ROLL CALL Mayor /President Tim Willson and Councilmembers /Commissioners Carol Kleven, Kay Lasman, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Assistant City Manager /Director of Building & Community Standards Vickie Schleuning, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere, and Carla Wirth, Timesaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. RENTAL LICENSE — REVOCATION PROCESS — CONTINUED City Manager Curt Boganey stated the Council can consider a separate action on the revocation • process, if desired. The Council discussed the option of shortening the revocation process; however, concern was expressed that such an action would also apply to the previous owner if they cured the default. Should that occur, it may be problematic for the City to refuse since revocation is with the property, not the property owner. City Attorney LeFevere concurred that could be the case. He stated if the Council is interested in this option, staff could draft an ordinance amendment that lists criteria the Council would consider in whether to accept an application early. The criteria could include proof that the new owner is unrelated to previous owner, meeting all code requirements, presentation plan for changes to be made in management, a physical plan, and /or proof of financial ability to make the changes in the form of a bank loan. Mr. LeFevere noted the Council would base its decision on whether it is or is not in the public's interest and balancing the punishment/sanction side against the other side of taking rental housing out of the market and making it more difficult for the landowner to raise money through rentals to improve the property. He noted the Council may want a process available under the ordinance whereby it could consider an early application if faced with the situation where someone wants to come in who has a proven track record, management record, and financial resources. Mr. Boganey noted the first reading approved tonight addresses the process for someone coming in early to apply but does not address someone asking for a shorter revocation. • 11/28/11 -1- DRAFT Mr. LeFevere concurred and raised the option of establishing a time when a request can be made, • such as three or six months before expiration of revocation. He noted it may help the property owner with bank approvals if a process is in place so when all conditions are met, they could get a rental license earlier than after the revocation term has expired. Or, the Council may want the property to suffer a 12 -month revocation and the owner to pay that price by waiting or having a reduced property value. Mr. LeFevere noted this is a tough public policy decision but the new scheme of regulation and use of staff resources to clean up the City's rental property has paid off and it seems to be a very effective program. He indicated staff would need direction to develop guidelines if the Council wants the ability to consider shortening revocation terms. However, if the Council supports the current language as being good policy, staff would not need to go through that effort. The Council acknowledged it had received a number of requests in the past but not considered a reduction in the revocation period. Consensus was reached that it would be a slippery slope to consider shortening the revocation term; however, the Council does deliberate the appropriate sanction before approving the term. It was noted the ordinance amendment given first reading tonight, if approved, will provide some flexibility in being able to complete the rental license application prior to the expiration of the revocation term. Mr. Boganey stated the Council has been consistent and firm when making its decision to revoke and stood by that term. This has allowed staff to communicate a very consistent and clear message to the rental community that a 12 -month revocation means 12 months. He felt this strict policy had served the City's interest by communicating that message. The majority consensus of the Ci Council /EDA was to i the ordinance e lan ua • J Y Y p language given first reading tonight and not consider shortening the revocation period. NEW DIGITAL SIGNAGE SYSTEM — NWCT CHANNEL 16 Assistant City Manager /Director of Building & Community Standards Vickie Schleuning presented a preview of the new digital signage system from Tightrope Media Systems that will replace the current digital signage system. She advised it is expected to launch on November 29, 2011, and will play on Cable Channel 16 when Council meetings or other community videos are not playing. The City Council /EDA suggested the site accommodate live communication should there be an emergency situation. Mr. Boganey stated staff will examine the applicability of using the system for that purpose. RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS Mr. Boganey introduced the item and reviewed that on September 26, 2011, Roger Kloster addressed the City Council about the Random Acts of Kindness Awards Program and expressed concern about the quality or value of some acts being honored and repetitive recognition of acts and recipients. He asked the Council to first address what it likes the most about the current Program. • i 11/28/11 -2- DRAFT • The Council identified the following positive aspects of the Program: • It is a long- standing Program • Recognition of people, schools, and businesses for doing the right thing • Engagement of the community • Brings people into City Hall • Acknowledges selfless acts, reinforces those acts, and gets others to notice • Builds community • Awards presentation is televised • Promotes a positive image of the City • Creates opportunity for positive press as reflected in the StarTribune article • Allows Councilmembers to make presentations at a Council meeting • Acknowledgement of acts by elected officials • Recipient receives a certificate, something of limited value they can show friends or display at home • Creates tradition for residents to anticipate and watch the awards ceremony • Promotes residents to watch for behavior worthy of nomination • Promotes a positive outlook about City government • Introduces people to each other when recognition is given • Enhances "Small Town Americana" atmosphere • Builds on the Council's goals for maintaining the City's housing stock • Acknowledges the Council thinks it is important • The Council identified the following negative aspects of the Program: ram: g P g • The idea list of random acts of kindness examples is too long and should be simplified or eliminated • The criteria for random acts of kindness is too liberal • The idea list of random acts of kindness includes examples that are not "random," diminishing the importance of being nominated • The Program is being manipulated by a few, nominating a large number • Nominations should be better focused on more appropriate acts • Dependency on the good faith and judgment of residents making the nominations • There is no limit on the number of nominations a resident can make • Criteria of standards/boundaries are not set • The goal has been to fill the Chambers • The Program has recognized acts of kindness that are not "random" • The Program has recognized acts that are not meaningful, moving, or inspiring • The Program has used a high level of staff resources • The Program has lost a lot of its meaning • The Program awards several certificates to the same nominee • Award certificates list one recognition when several could be included • Recognition of the same citizens for the same act year after year • Recognition of businesses for contributions and promotions that that are not random acts of • kindness 11/28/11 -3- DRAFT Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman explained that "Random Acts of Kindness" is a • company and described how the Program was started in Brooklyn Center. She stated she wants the Program to continue, noting the StarTribune had run an article about the longevity of this Program in Brooklyn Center. Mayor Willson felt the acts currently being nominated are not "random" or meaningful and he believed the Program had lost sight of both. Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan supported creating a threshold so acts have significance, as the Program was intended to recognize. The City Council /EDA agreed to revise the Program information to include the definition for a Random Act of Kindness and institute a limit of five nominations. Mayor Willson stated he remained concerned about what is being submitted as random acts of kindness and suggested he review the nominations submitted to determine what qualifies for consideration. Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman suggested the Program be revised as discussed and if that does not address the concerns, then the Mayor review the nominations. The City Council /EDA discussed whether an award program should be created for businesses to recognize contributions, possibly an honorable mention continuum if recognized over multiple • years. Concern was expressed that it would not be in the City's best interest to start another awards program because of the staff resources it would consume. However, the current Program could include recognition for businesses, such as reading a list of nominated businesses that have made contributions to the community. Mr. Boganey stated staff will capsulate the information provided tonight for the Council's future consideration and debate in how to implement change. Mayor Willson asked whether the word "random" should be removed from the Program so it would then recognize all acts of kindness. Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman indicated she does not support removing "random" from the Program name because the City has been recognized for this Program. Mr. Boganey referenced the instructions for the program, noting the word "random" is not used in the last sentence so it may be assumed that any act of kindness can be nominated. Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman stated she did not want to lose the branding of what "random" means and suggested revising the last sentence to include the word "random." She asked if the City Council/EDA would like to address the list of ideas. • 11/28/11 -4- DRAFT . Mayor Willson stated the City Council/EDA has discussed eliminating the idea list, reducing the idea list, or citing different examples. He suggested the Council review staff's summary of tonight's discussion prior to making a decision on the idea list. Mr. Boganey clarified staff's intent is not to change the Program but to report back on the City Council/EDA's discussion in a concise manner so it can be reviewed and the City Council /EDA can decide logistically how to make some of these ideas work. The majority consensus of the City Council/EDA was that each Member would review the idea list of examples and be prepared to make suggestions at the next Work Session in an effort to "raise the bar" for this Program. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan moved and Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman seconded adjournment of the City Council /Economic Development Authority Work Session at 9:54 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. RECONVENE Councilmember /Commissioner Lasman moved and Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan • seconded to reconvene the City Council /Economic Development Authority Work Session at 9:54 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. Roger Kloster, 7223 Lee Avenue N., stated he hopes the Random Acts of Kindness program is designed to promote good citizenship and encourage random acts of kindness. He supported the City establishing guidelines as to what is a random act of kindness as opposed to an act of kindness. When awards are presented, he believed it was more appropriate to present one award per nominee and list the acts if there are more than one. Mr. Kloster stated this matter is not a high priority and while he respects the Council for considering his concern, he does not want to circumvent other important issues. ADJOURNMENT Mayor /President Willson moved and Councilmember /Commissioner Ryan seconded adjournment of the City Council /Economic Development Authority Work Session at 9:57 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. • 11/28/11 -5- DRAFT • City Council Agenda Item No. 6b M-- 0 COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM • DATE: December 6, 2011 TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager FROM: Maria Rosenbaum, Deputy City Clerk SUBJECT: Licenses for City Council Approval 1 � Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council consider approval of the following licenses at its December 12, 2011.

Background: Section 2.07 of the City Charter requires that the City Council shall fix the salary of all employees of the City. Generally speaking, the City employs three different sets of employees, union, non -union and city manager. Union employees encompass the vast majority of public works and police department employees. Salaries and wages for these employees are established through the collective bargaining process. We are currently negotiating with LELS Local 86 (Sergeants and Commanders), LELS Local 82 (Police Officers), and IUOE 49 (Public Works Maintenance). The action before you relates to the wages and salaries of the eighty -two (82) non -union full -time employees working for the City. These at -will employees have no contract and rely upon the actions of the City Council through policy to assure reasonable working conditions, salaries and wages that • are competitive in the market place. As stated in the attached resolution the City Manager may reclassify, adjust, add and/or delete positions to pay grade in the pay plan. In 2011 several position descriptions were re- evaluated based on changes to the position description. As a result these positions have been moved to different pay grades. In some cases the pay range has been increased. In other cases the pay range has been reduced. The positions affected by the changes are the Director of Business and Development, CARS Director, Fire Chief, and the IT Director. Also in 2011 the position of Community Development Specialist has been changed to Deputy Director of Building and Community Standards. Due to the increase in responsibility to this position it has been changed to a higher pay grade. These changes are reflected in the 2012 pay plan. The proposed budget provides for a two percent general wage increase. It also provides for scheduled performance based step increases for employees below the range maximum. I am recommending approval of the pay plan with a 2% general wage increase for 2012. Budget Issues: The proposed budget will support a 2% pay plan adjustment and scheduled performance step increases provided by the resolution. Council Goals: Ongoing: 1. We will provide streamlined, cost effective, quality services with limited resources • Mission: Ensurirq an utfrac'tli e, enhances file qualm' raf life and preserves thepublic fru.st Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO.

I City Council Agenda Item No. 6h • COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM • DATE: 2 December 2011 TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager FROM: Daniel Jordet, Director of Fiscal & Support Servi s SUBJECT: Reservation of the ERRP Funding in a Special enue Fund Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council consider adoption of a resolution authorizing the reservation of funds from the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (EERP) disbursements in a separate fund under the special revenue funds category for disbursement in a future fiscal year. Background: What is ER RP? As a part of the Affordable Care and Patient Protection Act of 2010, an Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP) was established by the federal government. This is a temporary program (program ends when the $5 billion allocated funds are exhausted) that provides approved entities with a reimbursement of health care expenses incurred by their retirees. The purpose and intent of the ERRP program is to lower premium costs for all plan participants who may have high premiums because of claims incurred by retirees still on our health insurance plans. Did the City apply for the funds? The City of Brooklyn Center applied for the finds and was approved to • participate in this program in November, 2010. We received our first reimbursement of funds (from claims incurred from January — December 20 10) in the amount of $30,445.04 on April 15, 2011. We received our second reimbursement of funds (again from claims incurred from January — December 20 10) in the amount of $52,584.38 on October 20, 2011. We also received a reimbursement of finds from the first quarter of 2011 in the amount of $55,240.74 on October 20, 2011. Future reimbursements (if any) will be received quarterly. Total amount received by Brooklyn Center to date is $138,271.35. Are there restrictions on fund disbursement? We are prohibited from using reimbursement funds as general revenue. The City must be able to demonstrate that funds (including any interest accrued) were used exclusively to reduce or offset increases in plan participants' health benefit premium contributions, copayments, deductibles, coinsurance, or a combination of these costs. What is to be done with the funds received? It is recommended that the funds be transferred from the Payroll Fund where they are currently being held, to a special revenue fund specifically for ERRP dollars to be used in providing offsets for future health insurance premiums for employees of the City. Because premiums were lowered for 2012, there is not an opportunity to use it for relief from increased health care costs. If premiums increase for 2013 as expected it is most likely that the finds will be used to offset premium increases for employees in 2013. Budget Issues: Because these funds are to be used for benefit of the employees in the program, no benefit will accrue to the City nor will any additional cost be incurred as a result of the funds being received and disbursed. The program should be both revenue and cost neutral to the City.. • Hission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe coinrnunily that enhances the quatilp of life acrd preserves the public trust i Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: • RESOLUTION NO. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING INTERFUND TRANSFER WHEREAS, application was made on behalf of the City of Brooklyn Center under the Federal Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP) for reimbursement of a portion of marginal costs incurred by employees resulting from premium changes brought on by inclusion of retirees in the medical insurance program of the City; and WHEREAS, said application resulted in a reimbursement under the ERRP program of $.138,271.35; and WHEREAS, said funding is recommended to be reserved for use in reducing fixture years' premium increases for City employees as is permitted by the ERRP program. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, that the $ 138,271.35 in proceeds received from the Federal ERRP program be transferred from the Payroll Fund where it is currently being held to a segregated Special Revenue Fund for use by the City in reducing the impact of future medical insurance premiums on employees. • December 12, 2011 Date Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by member and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: and the following voted against the same: whereupon said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. • i I City Council Agenda Item No. 6i I • COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM • DATE: December 7, 2011 TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager FROM: Gary Eitel, Director of Business & Development ;SY— SUBJECT: Site Performance Guarantee Reduction — Shingle Creek Crossing Subdivision Agreement / Planning Application No. 2011 -008 & 009. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council approve the reduction of the Site Performance Guarantee for the Shingle Creek Crossing Project from $650,000 to $211,250 based on the project engineer's estimate of outstanding public improvements and erosion control work remaining to be completed. Background: The Subdivision Agreement for the Shingle Creek Crossing PUD included the provision of a $650,000 financial assurance that could be drawn upon by the City in the event the project stalled and the City found it necessary to secure the site until the project could resume. The subdivision agreement also included the following conditions to assure that the Developer Improvements for this Planned Unit Development would be completed: • The Section 6 of the Subdivision Agreement, Time of Performance and Issuance of Building Permits provided the following conditions relative to the completion of the Developer Improvements: 1. No building permits for improvements on the land other than for Lot 1, Block 1 Shingle Creek Crossing (WalMart Site) will be issued until the Developer completes demolition and site grading and erosion control measures are in place. 2. No certificate of occupancy permit will be issued until all Developer Improvements are completed; however, that a certificate of occupancy permit will be issued for Lot 1, Block 1, Shingle Creek Crossing if all of the following conditions are met: a) Installation of storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water lines and service to Lot 1, Blockl and on adjacent lots as depicted on Attachment Twenty -one, b) Installation of fire hydrants as depicted in Attachment Twenty -one c) Installation of landscaping on Lot 1, Block 1, and that portion of Outlot A as shown on Attachment Twenty -one d) Installation of lighting on Lot 1, Block 1 e) Street, driveways and parking lot on Lot 1, Block 1 have been installed and completed. f) All information required by paragraph 4 (Developer Improvements) related to • the improvements listed in a) above have been submitted to the City. Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM g) The Developer has provided any additional security required to assure that the remainder of the Developer Improvements are completed, in accordance with • paragraph 7, Security for Developer Improvements, which states that if a certificate of occupancy for Lot 1, Block 1 Shingle Creek Crossing is requested before the Developer Improvements identified in the subdivision agreement, then the City, with the assistance of the Developer if requested, will determine the cost of completing any remaining developer improvements and a certificate of occupancy permit will only be released if the developer provides a letter of credit equal to 125% of the cost for completing any remaining developer improvements. The use of the certificate of occupancy permit for Lot 1, Block 1, (Wa1Mart Site) recognized that the developer had provided a significant letter of credit (reported to be $6M) to WalMart that these developer improvements would be completed to facilitate WalMart's construction schedule and completion date. The subdivision agreement also included a provision that with the City approval, the letter of credit may be reduced from time to time as financial obligations are paid and the Developer improvements installed are completed to the City's requirements. Attached is a letter from Kimley -Horn, project engineer, requesting that the letter of credit to be reduced to $211,250. As identified, this amount reflects the outstanding costs associated with erosion control times a factor of 1.25 and County Road 10 Improvements times a factor of 1.5. • Additionally, the project engineer has provided a comparison of the total improvement/construction costs ($13,328,516) and the percent of completion (67 %), which leaves approximately $4.355M to be completed. In addition to the above conditions of the subdivision agreement, the City also has provisions within the PUD agreement and the Tax Increment Agreement to ensure that the project is completed as approved. Budget Issues: There are no budget issues to consider. Council Goals: 2.

Significant progress has been made on the project as nearly all of the demolition, utilities, storm sewer, grading and aggregate base have been completed onsite. Based upon this progress, Shingle Creek requests that the security be reduced as indicated on the attached document to $211,250 which equates to 1.50 times the remaining County Road 10 improvements and 1.25 times the remaining Site erosion and sediment control improvements. As discussed, this $211,250 security (to be provided to the City by Shingle Creek in the form of a letter of credit or cash bond) provides the City sufficient assurance that this work will be completed as outlined in the Subdivision Agreement.

Under the old standards, there were three categories: Reserved, Unreserved- Designated, and Unreserved - Undesignated. The new categories are more descriptive and focus on the constraints placed upon the use of these • resources. A brief description of each of the new categories is listed below along with examples. Nonspendable fund balance — amounts that are not in a spendable form or are required to be maintained intact. Examples of nonspendable fund balance would be prepaid items, inventory, and advances to other funds that are not expected to be repaid within one year. Restricted fund balance — amounts subject to externally enforceable legal restrictions. Examples of restricted fund balance would be tax increments, taxes levied for the HRA/EDA activities, and federal grants. Unrestricted fund balance: Committed fund balance — amounts that can be used only for the specific purpose determined by a formal action of the government's highest level of decision - malting authority (City Council). Commitments may be changed or removed only by the government taking the same formal action that imposed the original constraint. An example of committed fund balance would be the City Council committing a particular resource which is otherwise unrestricted, such as interest earnings, to a specific use by adopting a motion or resolution. Assigned fund balance — amounts a government intends to use for a specific purpose; intent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official or body to which the governing body delegates authority (i.e., City Manager or Financial Commission). An • Afission: Giasurinti an attractive, clean, safe conununit}' that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM example of assigned fund balance would be that portion of the general fund balance in excess of the reserve policy assigned for future park capital projects. • Unassigned fund balance — residual amounts that are available for any purpose in a governmental fund. The general hind must always have a positive unassigned fund balance. Other governmental funds may carry negative unassigned fund balances. Definition of Fund Types GASB Statement No. 54 clarifies the definitions of special revenue, debt. service, and capital projects funds. The definition of special revenue funds states that special revenue funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects. The definition of capital projects funds states that capital project funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. It further states that capital project funds exclude those types of capital related outflows financed by proprietary fields or for assets that will be held ' in trust for individuals, private organizations, or other governments. Impact on the City of Brooklyn Center The implementation of this statement does not change the way the City conducts business. All of the changes will be from a presentation standpoint in the City's Comprehensive Annual • Financial Statement (CAFR) and the Fund Balance Policy.' Other than the new classifications being presented in the CAFR, there are several other changes of note. One change will be related to the City's Earle Brown Heritage Center Improvements Fund. This fund is currently reported as a capital projects fund. Under GASB Statement No. 54, this fiend must be reported with the enterprise fund for the operations of the Earle Brown Heritage Center. This does not change how the City uses this fund; it only changes the presentation in the CAFR. The second change is related to fund balance commitments. To meet the special revenue fund definition of GASB Statement No. 54, the revenue source must be restricted or committed. This requires that the City Council adopt a resolution committing these specific revenues to each of the special revenue funds prior to the end of each year. In addition, the fund balances of the capital project funds that are not externally restricted should be committed to specific categories of capital outlay expenditures reflecting the Council's constraint on their use. Resolutions committing these fund balances are attached. The final change of note is related to the City's Financial Management Policies, specifically the Reserve Policies, section 3.1). which was last updated on December 14, 2004. This policy needs to be revised to authorize the Director of Fiscal & Support Services to assign fiend balances to reflect the City's intended use using the classifications and categories defined above.. This does not change the authority to actually spend resources, but only to assign resources for reporting purposes. The Financial Management Policies also need to include how the City intends to use • Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM its resources when multiple categories of fund balance are available. A proposed Reserve Policy is attached. Minor changes have been made to reflect the new terminology of GASB Statement No. 54. Again, this revised policy does not change how the City conducts business, the General Fund reserve, or the authority to use amounts in excess of the cash flow reserve. Budget Issues: There are no budget issues with this item. • • Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clear, safe cornununity that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: • RESOLUTION NO.

Background: A fire significantly damaged the garage at 3119 62 Ave N on July 30, 2011. The property was inspected on September 9, 2011 and September 28, 2011. The structural integrity of the entire building has been compromised due to the extensive fire damage. The wood structural wall panels and roof sheathing would not endure the wind load nor would the roof system endure the • snow load requirements. The headers, collar ties, roof rafters and ceiling joists have extensive charring that jeopardizes the integrity of the building. The metal fasteners and nails holding the components have decrease holding power. The damage was significant and staff is recommending demolition rather than repair. The property has been abandoned by the current owners and all attempts to contact them have failed. A notice was issued on October 25, 2011 and sent to the property owners and the attorneys representing the mortgage company. Since the property is also in the early stages of foreclosure, staff has been in contact with the foreclosure attorney representing TCF Bank. The bank is aware of the situation and may attempt to remove the garage prior to the expiration of the 20 -day correction order. Therefore, we request the City Council adopt the findings of the City Inspectors regarding the hazardous conditions, and authorize the City Manager to abate the nuisance by razing the structure and removing any remaining junk and debris. The foundation will not be removed, unless there is significant damage found. Budget Issues: The estimated direct cost of razing the garage and removing the junk and debris is $10,000 depending on disposal costs. A record of costs associated with enforcement of this order will be kept including administrative time, attorney fees, and all other related costs. The property • owners of record will be billed for all associated costs of abatement, and if unpaid, the costs will be specially assessed against the property.

As it is written it sounds like the elected officials are being acknowledged. Item 7a, I would like to have seen Keith Lester mentioned as the chair, because his role in the success of the year was paramount, and as the resolution is written, he is mentioned in the list of all the committee members, and that doesn't give him the credit he has due, in my opinion. I would like to see another"whereas" added somewhere near the end of the resolution, that states the following: Whereas the leadership of the chair of the Brooklyn Center Centennial Committee, Keith Lester, is to be commended and congratulated on the great success of the events during the Centennial Year", or something of that nature. If the change is going to be made it should probably be ready to add to the agenda with the amended language, then the Council can consider it at the work/study session before the meeting and decide if the consensus is to make the change.

Background: On November 17, 2011the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on Planning Commission Application No. 2011 -019 submitted by T J Weber properties for preliminary plat approval to replat three contiguous parcels located at 6000 Brooklyn Boulevard. • The Planning Commission briefly discussed the comments made by the City Engineer in his plat review memo (dated October 25, 2011 and included herein), which included a recommendation that the Owner close the access onto 60 Avenue near the intersection with Brooklyn Boulevard, along with the two driveway accesses onto Brooklyn Boulevard. It was pointed out by planning staff that this was only a recommendation; and that staff would work with Mr. Weber should he choose to close one or more of these access points in the future. The Planning Commission chose not to make any conditions or requirements related to these driveway accesses at this time. At the November 28, 2011 regular council meeting, an original resolution was presented with certain findings and conditions. After a brief presentation by staff and discussion of access concerns raised by Mayor Willson and Councilmember Lasman, the Council voted to table this item in order to give city staff time to resolve with the landowner these issues surrounding the driveway access near the 60 Avenue and Brooklyn Boulevard intersection. On Friday, December 2, 2011,City staff met with the owner's architect and representative, whereby a plan was discussed to have Evans - Nordby remove a section of the bituminous driveway near the front of the funeral home; install a barricade post and chain system to prevent vehicle access; with new landscaping and sod for the disturbed area. In return, the City agreed to remove the driveway apron, replace the sidewalk, and replace the curb and gutter sections along 60 Avenue sometime in the near future. To accommodate this sidewalk replacement, Mr. Weber has agreed to dedicate to the City an additional easement for sidewalk purposes, which is illustrated on the attached plan prepared by K.K Design. This easement will be added as part of the final plat to be considered in the near future. • Mission: Ensuring an attracti vc, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life andpreserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM Attached for your review is an amended resolution indicating these additional improvements and easement dedication, along with a copy of the Planning Commission Information Sheet for Planning Commission Application No. 2011 -019, an area map showing the location of the property under consideration, the Planning Commission minutes relating to the Commission's consideration of this matter and other supporting documents included in this review.

Weber Properties, LLC Owner: Thomas J. Weber Location: 6000 Brooklyn Boulevard Request: Preliminary Plat of "Evans Nordby Addition" INTRODUCTION The applicant, Thomas Weber, on behalf of T.J. Weber Properties, LLC, is seeking Preliminary Plat approval to replat three (3) existing legal parcels into one large individual platted lot for the Evans Nordby Funeral Home property. The funeral home building is located on 6000 Brooklyn Boulevard, and the two parcels owned by Mr. Weber are located immediately to the north of the building site. Pursuant to City Code Section 35 -540. COMBINATION OF LAND PARCELS "Multiple parcels of land which are contiguous and adjacent and which are proposed to serve a single • development use and which are under common ownership shall be combined into a single parcel through platting or registered land survey." The three individual parcels to be platted under this plat process are indeed contiguous; serve a single development (i.e. the funeral home); and are under common ownership of Mr. Weber (owner of Evans - Nordby Funeral Home). A public hearing has been scheduled and notices to surrounding property owners have been sent. BACKGROUND In the fall of 2002, the owners of Evans - Nordby installed an asphalt parking lot on the two lots to the north of their funeral home, without approval from the City and proper permits being issued. Apparently, there was a misunderstanding as to what could be constructed on these lots after the site was used as a staging area by a separate contractor retained by the City to construct street improvements in the neighboring area. The City, at that time did not object to a base being laid for an eventual parking lot as part of restoring the site following its discontinuance as a staging area. However, it was expected that plans for drainage, grading, storm sewer, landscaping and screening would be submitted for approval before construction of the lot. • Evans Nordby Addition - PP Page l of 3 11 -17 -11 In July 2003, Thomas Weber, acting on behalf of Nor -Web LLP, received approval of a Special • Use Permit to construct, what was technically considered then an off -site accessory parking lot for the Evans - Nordby Funeral Home. The parking lot was (and still is) located on the two vacant parcels immediately north of the funeral home site. One of the key requirements or conditions of approval of this special use permit approval was the owners had to replat the three parcels into one single parcel of land or platted lot. The approval and completion of this plat request shall fulfill the requirements made under the special use permit approvals. ANALYSIS The properties under consideration are all zoned C -1 (Service /Office) and are located on the east side of Brooklyn Boulevard, north of 60 Avenue. The properties are bounded on the north by R -5 (Multiple Family Residence) zoned property containing an apartment building and a walkway connecting the apartment property to sidewalk along Brooklyn Boulevard. A BP gasoline station on C -2 (Commerce) zoned property is located immediately to the north of the walkway. To the east of the site is Beard Avenue North with single - family homes on the opposite side of the street. To the south of the sites is 60 Avenue with C -1 zoned land on the opposite side of the street. Along the west is Brooklyn Boulevard with single - family homes on the opposite side of that street. When the SUP was considered in 2003, it was noted that City Zoning Ordinance requires commercial off - street parking areas must be screened if located across from residential zoned • properties, or if abutting residential properties. Said screening and landscaping must be approved by the City Council. A minimum 6 ft. high opaque screen fence or other device as approved by the City Council is required in such cases. The Planning Commission recommended and City Council approved the current screening plan that called for combination of 5 -foot high, opaque screen fencing in 10 -ft. sections, interspersed with Blue Spruce Trees along Beard Avenue. The proposed plat also calls for the easterly segments of all three parcels to be dedicated as future right -of -way for Beard Avenue North. This 30 -foot section appears adequately cover the physical roadway, street boulevard and sidewalk in this area, and is typical whenever original, unplatted parcels along roadway systems contain such physical roadway surfaces and boulevard areas. The dedication of this 30 -foot section does not affect or undermine the overall use and development of this funeral home site. There are no other dedications needed or requested from the adjacent Brooklyn Boulevard or 60 - Avenue North rights -of -way. City Engineer in his review is requesting the Owner /Applicant to provide or dedicate 10 -foot drainage and utility easements along the outer perimeter of the plat, which again is fairly typical and standard in most plat requests. • Evans Nordby Addition - PP Page 2 of 3 11 -17 -11 • The site is also provided with an unusual or not typical amount of accesses or driveways to serve this site, with two driveway /access points off Brooklyn Boulevard, and three access points onto 60 Avenue N. The City Engineer indicated in his review memo a recommendation that the Owner close the southwest driveway onto 60 Avenue and the two driveway /accesses onto Brooklyn Boulevard. The two remaining easterly driveways or access points could adequately serve this site if necessary; however, this is only a recommendation — and not a requirement or condition of approval by the City Engineer. Should the Owner agree to one or more of these recommendations, the City Engineer's would gladly work with the Owners to facilitate these closures. For all intents and purposes, this is a fairly simple and standard replatting request. The new larger lot to be created will not impede any orderly growth of the neighborhood or cause any increased impact on local services. The Plat appears to meet all minimum requirements set forth under City Code Chapter 15 — Platting. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the attached Resolution No. 2011 -14, which comprehends the approval of Planning Application No. 2011 -019, which proposes a Preliminary Plat of Evans Nordby Addition, subject to the following conditions and allowances: • 1. The final plat shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 2. The final plat shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 15 of the City Ordinances. 3. The Owner /Applicant shall provide an updated certified abstract or title or registered property report to the City Attorney and City Engineer for review at time of final plat application. 4. The Owner /Applicant shall provide a 10 -foot drainage and utility easement on all exterior lot lines.

Background: The Police, Liquor Store #1 and #2 and Centerbrook Golf Course are currently City buildings that have a Video Surveillance System. All of these systems are analog /stand- alone. The Police System was purchased when their building was built in 1998 -99, the Liquor System was • purchased in 1999 -2003, and Centerbrook Golf Clubhouse System in 2011. In 2010 a City Security System User Group was formed. In 2011 this group evaluated two Video Surveillance Systems, both under State of Minnesota Contract. One system was Cisco software based, the other was Milestone software based. Demonstrations of both systems were provided to the user group. The conclusion was the Milestone software solution, presented by the vendor Pro -Tec Design, best met the needs of a Video Surveillance System. The proposed new system would reside on centralized servers located at City Hall and camera hardware would connect to the network the same way the computers, printers and telephones do, which would leverage the existing network infrastructure. Milestone software and Axis or Sony IP cameras are leaders in their industry. The Milestone /Axis or Sony solution is used across the Twin Cities metro area by various governmental entities such as the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation (traffic cameras) and the Cities of Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, and Minnetonka.

If the Council chooses not to issue the license, it is recommended that the motion be to direct staff to prepare proposed findings for denial of the rental license and draft said resolution for the next Council meeting. Background: The property owner is applying for a renewal rental license. The property would qualify for a Type I Rental License. However, the property owner failed to meet the condition of the Type III license, specifically failure to complete the Crime Free Housing Program (CFHP) Phase I • certificate and Phase II required security improvement assessment and follow up inspection. The property owner received a Type III Rental License on May 9, 2011 on condition of adherence to the Action Plan and City Ordinances. The owner has failed to comply with the Action Plan and City Ordinance Section 1- 901.2, which requires a licensee of a Type III Rental Property to complete Phase II of the Crime Free Housing Program. If the requirements of the license category and the Action Plan are not met, the license renewal category remains a Type III. Staff is recommending approval of the continued Type III Rental License in lieu of denial, revocation or suspension because overall property improvements have been made. The following is a brief history of the license process actions. Current rental license approval activities: 08 -30 -11 John Roder applied for a renewal of the rental dwelling license for Sterling Square Apartments (6640 - 6700 Humboldt Avenue N, 1400 — 0167 th Avenue N), a four building, 54 unit multi - family residential property. 09 -30 -11 A letter stating the final requirement was sent to the owner including a copy of the signed Action plan. 10 -25 -11 An inspection was conducted noting 28 (0.52 /unit) code violations. 11 -15 -11 A reinspection was conducted and passed. 11 -15 -11 City records indicate four (0.07 /unit) validated police incident/nuisance calls were reported in the past twelve months.

License categories are based on property code and nuisance violations noted during the initial or renewal license inspection or for a category verification inspection, along with excessive validated police service calls occurring over a year. License categories are performance based and more accurately depict the condition of the property and the City costs of service. 2. Fees. • Fee amounts are determined by the costs of the city to license, inspect, monitor and work with the property to ensure category conditions are met. License fees do not include reinspection fees, late fees, charges for criminal or civil enforcement actions, or other penalties. 3. Category Conditions. The licensee or designated agent must meet the category conditions in the time period specified by the City. A licensee must meet all original conditions required by the License Category, even if a subsequent license category is achieved. 4. License Category Criteria. a. Property Code and Nuisance Violations. Property code violation rates will be based on the average number of property code violations per unit identified during the licensing inspection or category verification inspection. Property code violations for purposes of determining licensing categories shall include violations of property code and nuisances as defined in Chapter 12, 19, 7 and other applicable local ordinances. The City may, upon complaints or reasonable concerns that the establishment no longer complies with the license category criteria, perform a category verification inspection to the same standards as the license renewal inspection as indicated below. • Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe comnuinity that enhances the quality of life and preserves the public trust COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM Inspections will be conducted in conjunction with established department policies.

City Council Agenda Item No. 10e 1 • Updated memo for City Council Agenda Item No. 10e oxCity of Brooklyn Center A Millennium Community To: Mayor Willson and Councilmembers Kleven, Lasman, and Ryan From: Cornelius L. Boganey, City Mana� Date: December 5, 2011 RE: 2012 Budget Adoption All Funds Overview The proposed 2012 budgets reflect the revenues and expenditures developed in City Council joint Work Sessions with the Financial Commission during the months of August to November. The expenditure levels are focused on maintaining services and on the achievement of all strategic goals and priority outcomes adopted by the City Council on April 11, 2011. Generally,the 2012 budget continues the level of service established in prior years. Given the challenges presented by reduced State funding and the general downturn in the economy, the budget includes no additional full time employees and the elimination of one budgeted Code • Enforcement Officer Position. After two years of no general wage increase, the 2012 budget does include funding for a 2% general wage adjustment and an expected vacancy factor of$100,000. The overall General Fund budget increase is 3.17% and the overall levy increase is 2.21%. The estimated City property tax impact on the Median Value Residential Property ($133,800) is an increase of$0.24 or 0.03%. The most recent data from Hennepin County estimates that the proposed levy for all taxing units will result in the following; 71.72% of all taxable properties in Brooklyn Center(residential, commercial and industrial) will pay lower City property taxes in 2012. Of the remaining properties; 27.15%taxes will increase from 0.1%to 9.9%; 1.13% of properties will receive a tax increase of 10% or greater. 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone& TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 (763)569-3400 City Hall& TDD Number(763)569-3300 FAX(763)569-3434 FAX(763)569-3494 www.cityofbrooklyncenter.org • The Levy On September 6, 2011, the City Council adopted the 2012 preliminary budget and maximum tax levies. The proposed levy is at the same level adopted at the September 6, 2011, meeting and developed in joint work sessions with the City Council and Financial Commission. There are three funds that require a tax levy; the General Fund,the Debt Service Fund and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority Fund. The proposed final levy is as follows: Tax Levy: General Fund Operations Limited Levy $13,070,243 Fire Relief Association Pension 12,711 Foreclosures Special Levy 125,000 Housing and Redevelopment Authority 302,288 Police and Fire Bonds 708,581 Total Levy $14,218,823 • 2012 General fund levy The proposed 2012 general fund property tax levy is $13,207,954. This represents a levy increase of$302,614 or a 2.4% increase over the 2011 adopted budget. The 2004 Debt Service levy will increase 1.86% or$12,949 in 2012. The HRA levy is set at the statutory limit of.0185%of the estimated taxable market value. Due to the declining tax base, revenue from this source will decrease $8,543 or 2.74% from the 2011 levy. 2012 GENERAL FUND REVENUES: Total estimated revenue for 2012 is $16,940,168. This compares to $16,402,573 in the 2011. Total taxes inclusive of the proposed levy, and lodging tax collections of$800,000, are expected to increase from $13,610,340 to 14,007,954 or 2.92% Licenses and Permits revenue is estimated at$635,567 compared to $606,390 in 2011. This increase of 4.18% is the result of expected moderate improvement in redevelopment activities.. • 2 • Intergovernmental Revenue estimates increase to $844,315 from the $828,265 budgeted in 2011. The most significant change in the area of Intergovernmental Revenues relates to the elimination of the Market Value Homestead Credit(MVHC) now replaced with the Homestead Market Value Exclusion (HMVE). Under the MVHC the legislature appropriated funds to reimburse Cities and Counties for the property tax credit afforded to qualifying homesteads. Unfortunately,the legislature or the Governor in recent years has not fully reimbursed the Cities as expected. Due to fiscal constraints facing the State of Minnesota,the Governor and legislature decided during the last session to remove this appropriation from the State budget. In its place the Legislature established the HMVE. Under this new program, homestead residential taxable property values are reduced while commercial, industrial, apartments and non-homestead residential taxable values remain unchanged. The net effect of this exclusion is a shift of the tax burden from homestead properties to all other property types. Charges for Services budget estimate increases 6.5% in 2012 to $1,008,832 from$944,158 in the 201 lbudget. This increase is largely related to increased code enforcement activities of vacant building registrations, re-occupancy inspections, vacant building registration and increased reimbursement for police security services. • i 3 • GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES Strategic Focus For the last several years the City Council has remained focused on the achievement of strategic goals. Each year the budget is crafted as a policy implementation tool focused on strategic goal achievement. The 2012 budget is no different in this regard. The City Councils' six strategic goals for 2012 are to: ensure a safe and secure community; aggressively proceed with city redevelopment; stabilize and improve residential neighborhoods; embrace the community demographic makeup and increasing cultural diversity; maintain and improve infrastructure; encourage environmental sustainability. We believe that the proposed budget is designed to accomplish the strategic goals and focus areas as directed by the City Council. 1. Ensure a safe and secure community • The threat and fear of real or perceived crime among citizens and others will be reduced • • Citizens will feel and be safe in their homes, areas of concern and throughout the City The proposed budget continues funding for the Community Services Unit that includes Community Response Officers, crime analysis, and crime prevention activities and the new youth intervention officer in the Grant Initiatives Fund. This is a unit consisting of both sworn and unsworn personnel carrying out proactive problem solving initiatives. The unit consists of one Commander who manages the five sworn Community Response Officers, an Analyst, and a Crime Prevention Specialist. Results demonstrate that this proactive, fact based, focused and coordinated efforts of a unit that is not spending nearly all of its time responding to calls for service has produced results contributing to crime reduction in the City. Year to date in 2011 We have had several successive years of double digit reductions in Part 1 Property and Violent Crimes. In 2011 these decreases have started to level off. Our goal for 2012 is to continue to reduce crime and to the greatest extent possible prevent increases in criminal activity. 2. Aggressively proceed with implementation of the City's redevelopment plans • Private redevelopment will expand and improve • Opportunity Site redevelopment will commence 4 • • EDA owned properties redevelopment will proceed expeditiously The Business and Development Department composed of EDA/HRA, Planning and Assessing staff will remain focused on business attraction, business retention, community marketing and redevelopment assistance programs. This focused effort will continue to be critical as we work to achieve the redevelopment mission in a very difficult economic environment. In many ways 2011 has been a banner year when it comes to redevelopment activity. The GSA FBI field office project will be completed by year end. Luther Auto Dealership has commenced work and construction of the new Toyota and Honda stores on Brooklyn Boulevard which should be complete in 2012. The Northwest Service Center construction has been started and completion is expected in 2012. The transformation of the Brookdale Mall into the New Shingle Creek Crossing Shopping Center started in 2011. The new Walmart Supercenter anchor for this project has started and will open for business in 2012. Planning for the Howe Fertilizer site redevelopment project continues and construction is likely to commence in 2012. The former Fuddruckers on Shingle Creek Parkway was renovated and reopened as a • new restaurant in 2011. The Planning Commission will be reviewing plans for possible redevelopment of the former Life Time Fitness Site on Hwy 100. Northport Elementary School commenced a$4 Million major renovation project in 2011. These are a few of the significant redevelopment projects nearing completion or underway. Next year we will be devoting more time and resources into assisting local startup businesses through the Hennepin County Business Assistance grant. In 2012 we will increase our marketing of the balance of the EDA owned sites, especially the Logan Site and the Balance of the Hwy 694 properties now that the FBI project is near completion. 3. Stabilize and Improve residential neighborhoods • Citizens will benefit from a diverse stock of housing types and styles • Owners and occupants in residential neighborhoods will comply with city codes and regulations which will be adequate to assure a safe, well maintained, and attractive community • • Owner occupied housing will increase as a percentage of total housing 5 • Problems associated with foreclosures will be dramatically reduced. • Residential property values will improve and citizens will be proud of their neighborhood and community In recent years the City has improved the way foreclosed and vacant properties are monitored and managed by the Department of Building and Community Standards. The Business and Development Department will continue to implement the two new incentive programs to attract new property owners, acquire and rehabilitate vacant foreclosed properties in 2012. Since 2009 we were able to attract more than 90 new home owners to acquire vacant foreclosed properties. In addition the EDA has acquired several strategically located vacant properties as we plan for future redevelopment, using the revised NSP program we have acquired nine foreclosed properties for substantial rehabilitation and sale as owner occupied homes. To date three of these properties have been sold to new well qualified home owners. The vacant property registration ordinance took effect in February 2009 and 1,136 vacant properties have been registered over three years, making it easier to track . ownership, secure and maintain these properties and improve the attractiveness and conditions of the housing stock. We will also continue to provide public education to citizens about ways to prevent foreclosure. The Building and Community Standards Department has implemented Council approved changes to the rental property licensing ordinance. The ordinance changes are designed to create incentives and hold landlords and occupants accountable for conditions and use of rental properties. So far the evidence suggests that this performance based ordinance is helping to improve the quality of rental properties and the quality of management. In 2010 we implemented the voter approved Administrative Hearings process which has expedited resolution of many neighborhood nuisance violations. In 2010 we adopted a policy that will allow townhome communities to apply for the establishment of a Neighborhood Improvement Area under state law. If an area and project is approved it could provide an avenue to receive financing for needed improvements to some of our aging townhome developments. We anticipate our first application for the program in 2012. • 6 • In 2012 Business and Development Department will continue to research and pursue ways of diversifying the housing stock. 4. Embrace the changing demography increasing cultural diversity. • All demographic groups will be represented and encouraged to participate in civic, governmental, community organizations and activities • Youth will be adequately served with recreation and educational programs and activities The City continues to extend and improve our outreach efforts to attract employees and volunteers from all ethnic and cultural groups of our community. Staff training in the areas of cultural competency will continue. The Brooklyn Bridge effort with the City of Brooklyn Park, involving youth in decision making and planning continues to evolve and improve our ability to constructively engage youth from throughout the community. In 2011 staff researched and began development of inclusion practices aimed at • attracting and retaining employees from all backgrounds and diverse strengths. This effort will be accelerated in 2012. 5. Maintain and upgrade infrastructure improvements • City government buildings, major equipment and physical assets of the City will be maintained and improved • Neighborhood streets and utilities will be maintained and improved • The traveling public will benefit from multi-modal transportation options fostered and/or provided by the City • Citizens will benefit from the expansion and improvement of needed technology infrastructure as cost effective, feasible options become available In 2011 we expanded the reconstruction program by adding the East Palmer Lake Project Area previously scheduled for 2012 to the 2011 Logan Neighborhood project. For this reason there will be no major reconstruction project in 2012. The City has prioritized and scheduled this program using a condition based formula in order to use the limited resources available in the most cost effective manner. • 7 • Based upon current estimates of reconstruction costs it is assumed that the franchise fees of approximately $700,000 annually will not be sufficient to fund the full City share of reconstruction costs planned for 2013 and beyond. Therefore, an additional source of funding or change in the scheduled improvements will be required. The Council and Financial Commission are exploring a variety of options in order to meet our commitment to renewing our infrastructure. We expect that a final course of action will be determined early in 2012. In 2010 the City implemented a joint use agreement with the Three Rivers Park District. The agreement will extend responsibility for improvement and maintenance of our regional trail system to the Three Rivers Park District. This agreement has reduced City maintenance cost and it authorizes the Park District to extend and make improvements to our Regional Trails. In 2010 a regional trail study was conducted and in 2011 a new regional trail plan was adopted. In 2012 the Park District will continue to make improvements to regional trails in the City, specifically the Shingle Creek trail is scheduled for additional improvements. The City has a capital replacement plan for storm water, sanitary sewer and water system improvements. In addition the City has a park improvement plan and an improvement funding program for the Earle Brown Heritage Center. Each of these • programs is detailed in the Capital Improvement Program which has been reviewed during the budget development process and will be presented for Council approval. In 2007 the City completed a comprehensive study of the structural components of General Buildings i.e. City Hall, Community Center, Fire Stations and Police Buildings. With information collected from this report, the staff developed an infrastructure improvement plan for these critical facilities. The recommendations from this study have been incorporated into the proposed capital projects budget. Unfortunately, the study did not identify an ongoing source of funding. Staff has been developing alternative means of funding the major repairs identified in the plan. There are no major projects scheduled for 2012. An ongoing funding plan should be approved in 2012 so that major improvements at the Community Center can commence in 2013. In 2010 the City reached an agreement with the Developer of the Embassy Suites that authorizes the City/EDA to construct a link connecting the EBHC to the Hotel. This project was completed in 2011 and we anticipate customers will continue to benefit for many years to come. • 6. Environmental sustainability 8 • • Public appreciation for the environment will be improved, recycling and energy conservation will improve within the community • The purchasing power of the City will support the goal of environmental sustainability The City will continue many of its past efforts of household recycling, use of recycled goods and materials in our capital projects and daily business operations, and storm water management. The City has implemented conservation rates for the water utility. The Street light utility will continue to explore and pilot test the use of alternative energy lighting in 2012. In 2012 we will develop a plan to comprehensively inventory current City efforts and develop an action plan to address the many environmental sustainability issues in the community. In 2011 the staff participated in a community environmental sustainability forum, and anticipates doing so again in 2012. THE HOUSING AND REDEVLOPMENT AUTHORITY LEVY State law establishing a Housing Redevelopment Authority provides for an operating levy of up to 0.0185% of the taxable market value within the jurisdiction to carry out the purposes of the • authority. In Brooklyn Center after forming an HRA the City established an EDA which assumed and expanded the HRA responsibilities into the areas of economic development. To fund the activities of the EDA,the HRA levy is required. The HRA levy is expected to generate $302,288 in 2012 revenue a 2.5% decrease from 2011 due to the change in taxable market value. The EDA fund provides for the operating budget for the EDA and the costs are expected to be $350,534 compared to $389,677 in 2011. EDA funding comes from HRA levy proceeds, interest earnings, and use of Cash Balance in the Fund. This budget includes funding full-time positions of the Business and Development Director, Deputy Director of Building and Community Standards, and staff support positions in this department. THE DEBT SERVICE FUND LEVY The current outstanding exclusively tax supported General Obligation Bond Debt of the City is composed of a single issue; the 2004A Police and Fire Bonds. The outstanding principal balance due on these 10 year bonds as of December 31, 2011, will be $1,385,000. The debt service due in 2012 will be $721,081. These bonds are expected to be paid in full by February 2013. 9 • SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS Economic Development Authority Fund This fund provides for the management and administration of City development efforts. The purpose of this fund is to preserve and improve City neighborhoods by fostering housing stock preservation, commercial and industrial development and redevelopment creating job opportunities, tax base stability and growth.

TIF District#2 This financing tool was primarily responsible for redevelopment of Earle Brown Terrace and Earle Brown Commons senior residential projects. The District was decertified in 2011. Funds available in the district were reprogrammed to other high priority redevelopment projects. TIF District#3 In support of goal 42, this fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures for District 3. Major redevelopment projects within this district include 691h and Brooklyn Boulevard, 66th and Highway 252 including the theater and townhomes, as well as the area in and around Brookdale Mall. The district also includes portions of the Opportunity Site, and the parcels along Hwy 694/Hwy 100 and James Circle. Expenditures from this fund after May 18, 2011, may only be used for debt service payments and limited expenditures of up to 25% of the increment collected. Included in this 25%cap is a requirement that 15% of all increments collected during the life of the district must be used in support of moderate- and low-income housing projects. 2012 iprogrammed expenditures; $1,576,744. 10 In 2011 the EDA removed the Brookdale Mall parcels from this district and created TIF District #5 in support of the Shingle Creek Crossing Redevelopment Project. TIF District#4 In support of goal #2,this fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures from District 4. Funds from this district were used to clean up a contaminated site for redevelopment. The resulting redevelopment includes, Supply Technologies -Wagner Spray Tech(Former Wickes Warehouse), Toro Distributing, Caribou Coffee corporate headquarters and other projects with an estimated market value of$20,000,000 with more than 400 jobs.

The 2012 program includes Evergreen Park Fence and Court Reconstruction, Evergreen Athletic Field Lighting Replacement, Centennial Park Youth Soccer contingent upon grant funding approval and Orchard Lake Park Shelter and Improvements. Programmed expenditures; $315,000 11 • Infrastructure Construction Fund Also in support of goal #5, the Infrastructure Construction Fund, formerly the Special Assessment Construction Fund, accounts for the financing of improvements funded all or in part by special assessments and transfers from public utility funds. This fund includes expenditures for the Capital Improvements to the Park System. The 2012 program includes Storm Water Pond Rehab for five ponds, Shingle Creek Restoration, Trunk Sewer Replacement, Freeway Blvd/Shingle Creek Intersection Improvements and Improvements to the Earle Brown/ Opportunity Area Street Light System. 2012 planned expenditures; $1,615,000.

This fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures related to the operation of two municipal liquor stores. Revenue growth and profitability is expected to continue in 2012. In 2011 we entered into a new lease for Store#1 on Bass Lake Road. The new lease added 1,350 square feet of space to provide for storage which facilitates increased profitability by expanding bulk purchases. In 2012 the liquor fund will transfer $275,000 to other funds for projects and operations. In 2012 the fund will make improvements to the Cooler Section at Store #1 and improve security systems at both stores. 2012; uses w/o depreciation $5,756,588 Centerbrook Golf Course Operating Fund The number of rounds played at Centerbrook has continued to decline in recent years. In 2011 we implemented incentive programs to increase rounds played by league golfers with moderate success. This program will continue in 2012. In addition several new marketing programs will be introduced to introduce the course to local business commuters. We will also continue our joint marketing efforts with Brooklyn Park and New Hope. Most significantly we will restructure • staffing of the golf operations and make physical improvements to improve our attractiveness and increase market share. In addition the City anticipates a general fund transfer if needed to cover any revenue shortfall in 2012. This fund accounts for the revenues and expenditures of the nine-hole golf course owned and operated by the City of Brooklyn Center. 2012; uses w/o depreciation $259,495 Earle Brown Heritage Center Operating Fund The award winning Earle Brown Heritage Conference Center provides a community resource for events and meetings while preserving a historical landmark of the community. This Fund accounts for all revenues and expenses associated with conference and meeting and leasing activities hosted by the Center including the maintenance repair of the facility itself.Next year revenues and profitability are expected to improve from the D Barn lease. We are also encouraged by interest generated by the Embassy Suite Hotel and small signs of economic recovery. 2012 uses w/o depreciation $4,314,610 PUBLIC UTILTY FUNDS Water Utility Fund This fund provides for the distribution of potable water to customers. It includes funding for the • operations, administration and water utility billing. In 2009 we completed installation of a new 13 • automated meter reading system throughout the City improving efficiency, reliability, and customer service. In 2010 we implemented a State mandated conservation water rate fee system. The 2012 rate per 1000 gallons will increase from$1.40 to $1.51 to provide for the ongoing cost of operations and capital needs. Substantial water main improvements are expected to be completed in association with the neighborhood street projects in future years. To assure that the fund has sufficient cash to fund these future projects, the Council elected to adopt a larger than normal increase at this time. It should be noted that at the rate of$1.51 per thousand, the City customers continue to enjoy a very favorable water rate compared to comparable communities. 2012 uses w/o depreciation $1,497,028. Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund This fund provides funding for the collection and conveyance of wastewater through a system of mains and lift stations. This fund also provides for routine and preventive maintenance of the system. The 2012 single family rates will increase from $65.79 to $67.76 per quarter to provide for the ongoing maintenance and capital needs of the system. The Council considered implementing a consumption based fee for this service as a way to encourage water conservation and improving user equity. After review of the consumer impacts of this change, the Council elected to continue the flat rate approach with a substantial discount for seniors. 2012 uses w/o depreciation $2,648,867. • Storm Sewer Utility Fund This fund provides for the collection and management of storm water throughout the city in compliance with State and Federal regulatory requirements. The single family quarterly storm drainage fees for 2012 will remain unchanged at$14.48. 2012 uses w/o depreciation $1,040,091 Street Lighting Fund This fund provides for electrical and maintenance fees paid to Xcel Energy for street lights owned by Xcel Energy. It also provides for electrical service, maintenance, repair and replacement of lights owned by the City. The City owns ornamental lights in the Earle Brown commercial area, along Brooklyn Blvd and Xerxes Avenue and Bass Lake Road. The City also leases 915 lights from NSP. Another 97 lights owned by the City are located on traffic signal posts and mast arms. Staff has recently inventoried the entire system to identify potential cost saving opportunities. In 2011 conducted pilot tests of new energy efficient lightings systems to determine both the efficiency and efficacy for use in our system. The street light utility fee will increase from $3.95 per quarter to $4.95 per quarter in 2012. This increase is necessary to assure that all replacement and maintenance costs are covered by utility fund revenue as we expand the system and as ornamental lights age; 2012 uses w/o depreciation $455,940 • 14 • Recycling Fund This fund accounts for the operation and administration of the City's state-mandated curbside recycling program. Revenues are from customer service fees with expenses comprised of payments to the Hennepin County Recycling Group, a four-city consortium. The recycling rate for 2012 will remain at$8.43 per quarter. Hennepin County is considering the adoption of new recycling goals that may affect rates in the future; 2012 uses w/o depreciation $286,503. INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS Central Garage Fund The Central Garage Fund accounts for the expense associated with providing services and fuel for a wide range of City vehicles such as fire trucks, squad cars, dump trucks, mowers, loaders, pickups, and staff cars. In addition the Garage services minor equipment such as chain saws, trailer pumps, and generators. When the garage provides these services, the direct and indirect costs are allocated to the department benefiting from the service. All revenue into this fund comes from other City sources, so revenues and expenditures in this operation do not represent additional income or additional expenses to the City. The fund is strictly used to keep track of the costs so that the appropriate City department is charged. Due to revenue constraints, the rate of • contributions to this fund has been reduced in recent years. In 2012 we have increased the rate of contribution to assure adequate pay as you go funding; 2012 uses w/o depreciation $1,931,296. is 15 CUry of Brook, gyn ce rl i er A Millenniufn Community To: Mayor Willson and Councilmembers Kleven, Lasman, and Ryan From: Cornelius L. Boganey, City Mana Date: December 5, 2011 RE: 2012 Budget Adoption All Funds Overview The proposed 2012 budgets reflect the revenues and expenditures developed in City Council joint Work Sessions with the Financial Commission during the months of August to November. The expenditure levels are focused on maintaining services and on the achievement of all strategic goals and priority outcomes adopted by the City Council on April 11, 2011. Generally,the 2012 budget continues the level of service established in prior years. Given the challenges presented by reduced State funding and the general downturn in the economy, the budget includes no additional full time employees and the elimination of one budgeted Code Enforcement Officer Position. After two years of no general wage increase, the 2012 budget does include funding for a 2% general wage adjustment and an expected vacancy factor of$100,000. The overall General Fund budget increase is 3.17% and the overall levy increase is 2.21%. The estimated City property tax impact on the Median Value Residential Property ($133,800) is an increase of$0.24 or 0.03%. The most recent data from Hennepin County estimates that the proposed levy for all taxing units will result in the following; 71.72% of all taxable properties in Brooklyn Center(residential, commercial and industrial) will pay lower City property taxes in 2012. Of the remaining properties; 27.15%taxes will increase from 0.1%to 9.9%; 1.13% of properties will receive a tax increase of 10% or greater. 6301 Shingle Creek Parkway Recreation and Community Center Phone& TDD Number Brooklyn Center, MN 55430-2199 (763)569-3400 City Hall & TDD Number(763)569-3300 FAX(763)569-3434 FAX(763)569-3494 w w w.cityo fbrooklynce nter org The Levy On September 6, 2011, the City Council adopted the 2012 preliminary budget and maximum tax levies. The proposed levy is at the same level adopted at the September 6, 2011, meeting and developed in joint work sessions with the City Council and Financial Commission. There are three funds that require a tax levy; the General Fund, the Debt Service Fund and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority Fund. The proposed final levy is as follows: Tax Levy: General Fund Operations Limited Levy $13,070,243 Fire Relief Association Pension 12,711 Foreclosures Special Levy 125,000 Housing and Redevelopment Authority 302,288 Police and Fire Bonds 708,581 Total Levy $14,218,823 2012 General fund levy The proposed 2012 general fund property tax levy is $13,207,954. This represents a levy increase of$302,614 or a 2.4% increase over the 2011 adopted budget. The 2004 Debt Service levy will increase 1.86% or$12,949 in 2012. The HRA levy is set at the statutory limit of.0185% of the estimated taxable market value. Due to the declining tax base, revenue from this source will decrease$8,543 or 2.74% from the 2011 levy. 2012 GENERAL FUND REVENUES: Total estimated revenue for 2012 is $16,940,168. This compares to $16,402,573 in the 2011. Total taxes inclusive of the proposed levy, and lodging tax collections of$800,000, are expected to increase from$13,610,340 to 14,007,954 or 2.92% Licenses and Permits revenue is estimated at$635,567 compared to $606,390 in 2011. This increase of 4.18% is the result of expected moderate improvement in redevelopment activities. 2 i Intergovernmental Revenue estimates increase to $844,315 from the $828,265 budgeted in 2011. The most significant change in the area of Intergovernmental Revenues relates to the elimination of the Market Value Homestead Credit(MVHC) now replaced with the Homestead Market Value Exclusion (HMVE). Under the MVHC the legislature appropriated funds to reimburse Cities and Counties for the property tax credit afforded to qualifying homesteads. Unfortunately, the legislature or the Governor in recent years has not fully reimbursed the Cities as expected. Due to fiscal constraints facing the State of Minnesota, the Governor and legislature decided during the last session to remove this appropriation from the State budget. In its place the Legislature established the HMVE. Under this new program, homestead residential taxable property values are reduced while commercial, industrial, apartments and non-homestead residential taxable values remain unchanged. The net effect of this exclusion is a shift of the tax burden from homestead properties to all other property types. Charges for Services budget estimate increases 6.5% in 2012 to $1,008,832 from$944,158 in the 2011 budget. This increase is largely related to increased code enforcement activities of vacant building registrations, re-occupancy inspections,vacant building registration and increased reimbursement for police security services. i 3 i GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES Strategic Focus For the last several years the City Council has remained focused on the achievement of strategic goals. Each year the budget is crafted as a policy implementation tool focused on strategic goal achievement. The 2012 budget is no different in this regard. The City Councils' six strategic goals for 2012 are to: ensure a safe and secure community; aggressively proceed with city redevelopment; stabilize and improve residential neighborhoods; embrace the community demographic makeup and increasing cultural diversity; maintain and improve infrastructure; encourage environmental sustainability. We believe that the proposed budget is designed to accomplish the strategic goals and focus areas as directed by the City Council. 1. Ensure a safe and secure community • The threat and fear of real or perceived crime among citizens and others will be reduced • Citizens will feel and be safe in their homes, areas of concern and throughout the City The proposed budget continues funding for the Community Services Unit that includes Community Response Officers, crime analysis, and crime prevention activities and the new youth intervention officer in the Grant Initiatives Fund. I This is a unit consisting of both sworn and unsworn personnel carrying out proactive problem solving initiatives. The unit consists of one Commander who manages the five sworn Community Response Officers, an Analyst, and a Crime Prevention Specialist. Results demonstrate that this proactive, fact based, focused and coordinated efforts of a unit that is not spending nearly all of its time responding to calls for service has produced results contributing to crime reduction in the City. Year to date in 2011 We have had several successive years of double digit reductions in Part 1 Property and Violent Crimes. In 2011 these decreases have started to level off. Our goal for 2012 is to continue to reduce crime and to the greatest extent possible prevent increases in criminal activity. 2. Aggressively proceed with implementation of the City's redevelopment plans • Private redevelopment will expand and improve • Opportunity Site redevelopment will commence 4 • EDA owned properties redevelopment will proceed expeditiously The Business and Development Department composed of EDA/HRA, Planning and Assessing staff will remain focused on business attraction, business retention, community marketing and redevelopment assistance programs. This focused effort will continue to be critical as we work to achieve the redevelopment mission in a very difficult economic environment. In many ways 2011 has been a banner year when it comes to redevelopment activity. The GSA FBI field office project will be completed by year end. Luther Auto Dealership has commenced work and construction of the new Toyota and Honda stores on Brooklyn Boulevard which should be complete in 2012. The Northwest Service Center construction has been started and completion is expected in 2012. The transformation of the Brookdale Mall into the New Shingle Creek Crossing Shopping Center started in 2011. The new Walmart Supercenter anchor for this project has started and will open for business in 2012. Planning for the Howe Fertilizer site redevelopment project continues and construction is likely to commence in 2012. The former Fuddruckers on Shingle Creek Parkway was renovated and reopened as a new restaurant in 2011. The Planning Commission will be reviewing plans for possible redevelopment of the former Life Time Fitness Site on Hwy 100. Northport Elementary School commenced a$4 Million major renovation project in 2011. These are a few of the significant redevelopment projects nearing completion or underway. Next year we will be devoting more time and resources into assisting local startup businesses through the Hennepin County Business Assistance grant. In 2012 we will increase our marketing of the balance of the EDA owned sites, I especially the Logan Site and the Balance of the Hwy 694 properties now that the FBI project is near completion. 3. Stabilize and Improve residential neighborhoods • Citizens will benefit from a diverse stock of housing types and styles • Owners and occupants in residential neighborhoods will comply with city codes and regulations which will be adequate to assure a safe, well maintained, and attractive community • Owner occupied housing will increase as a percentage of total housing 5 • Problems associated with foreclosures will be dramatically reduced. • Residential property values will improve and citizens will be proud of their neighborhood and community In recent years the City has improved the way foreclosed and vacant properties are monitored and managed by the Department of Building and Community Standards. The Business and Development Department will continue to implement the two new incentive programs to attract new property owners, acquire and rehabilitate vacant foreclosed properties in 2012. Since 2009 we were able to attract more than 90 new home owners to acquire vacant foreclosed properties. In addition the EDA has acquired several strategically located vacant properties as we plan for future redevelopment, using the revised NSP program we have acquired nine foreclosed properties for substantial rehabilitation and sale as owner occupied homes. To date three of these properties have been sold to new well qualified home owners. The vacant property registration ordinance took effect in February 2009 and 1,136 vacant properties have been registered over three years, making it easier to track ownership, secure and maintain these properties and improve the attractiveness and conditions of the housing stock. We will also continue to provide public education to citizens about ways to prevent foreclosure. i The Building and Community Standards Department has implemented Council approved changes to the rental property licensing ordinance. The ordinance changes are designed to create incentives and hold landlords and occupants accountable for conditions and use of rental properties. So far the evidence suggests that this performance based ordinance is helping to improve the quality of rental properties and the quality of management. In 2010 we implemented the voter approved Administrative Hearings process which has expedited resolution of many neighborhood nuisance violations. In 2010 we adopted a policy that will allow townhome communities to apply for the establishment of a Neighborhood Improvement Area under state law. If an area and project is approved it could provide an avenue to receive financing for needed improvements to some of our aging townhome developments. We anticipate our first application for the program in 2012. 6 i In 2012 Business and Development Department will continue to research and pursue ways of diversifying the housing stock. 4. Embrace the changing demography increasing cultural diversity. • All demographic groups will be represented and encouraged to participate in civic, governmental, community organizations and activities • Youth will be adequately served with recreation and educational programs and activities The City continues to extend and improve our outreach efforts to attract employees and volunteers from all ethnic and cultural groups of our community. Staff training in the areas of cultural competency will continue. The Brooklyn Bridge effort with the City of Brooklyn Park, involving youth in decision making and planning continues to evolve and improve our ability to constructively engage youth from throughout the community. In 2011 staff researched and began development of inclusion practices aimed at attracting and retaining employees from all backgrounds and diverse strengths. This effort will be accelerated in 2012. 5. Maintain and upgrade infrastructure improvements • City government buildings, major equipment and physical assets of the City will be maintained and improved • Neighborhood streets and utilities will be maintained and improved • The traveling public will benefit from multi-modal transportation options fostered and/or provided by the City • Citizens will benefit from the expansion and improvement of needed technology infrastructure as cost effective, feasible options become available In 2011 we expanded the reconstruction program by adding the East Palmer Lake Project Area previously scheduled for 2012 to the 2011 Logan Neighborhood project. For this reason there will be no major reconstruction project in 2012. The City has prioritized and scheduled this program using a condition based formula in order to use the limited resources available in the most cost effective manner. 7 Based upon current estimates of reconstruction costs it is assumed that the franchise fees of approximately $700,000 annually will not be sufficient to fund the full City share of reconstruction costs planned for 2013 and beyond. Therefore, an additional source of funding or change in the scheduled improvements will be required. The Council and Financial Commission are exploring a variety of options in order to meet our commitment to renewing our infrastructure. We expect that a final course of action will be determined early in 2012. In 2010 the City implemented a joint use agreement with the Three Rivers Park District. The agreement will extend responsibility for improvement and maintenance of our regional trail system to the Three Rivers Park District. This agreement has reduced City maintenance cost and it authorizes the Park District to extend and make improvements to our Regional Trails. In 2010 a regional trail study was conducted and in 2011 a new regional trail plan was adopted. In 2012 the Park District will continue to make improvements to regional trails in the City, specifically the Shingle Creek trail is scheduled for additional improvements. The City has a capital replacement plan for storm water, sanitary sewer and water system improvements. In addition the City has a park improvement plan and an improvement funding program for the Earle Brown Heritage Center. Each of these programs is detailed in the Capital Improvement Program which has been reviewed during the budget development process and will be presented for Council approval. In 2007 the City completed a comprehensive study of the structural components of General Buildings i.e. City Hall, Community Center, Fire Stations and Police Buildings. With information collected from this report,the staff developed an infrastructure improvement plan for these critical facilities. The recommendations from this study have been incorporated into the proposed capital projects budget. I Unfortunately,the study did not identify an ongoing source of funding. Staff has been developing alternative means of funding the major repairs identified in the plan. There are no major projects scheduled for 2012. An ongoing funding plan should be approved in 2012 so that major improvements at the Community Center can commence in 2013. In 2010 the City reached an agreement with the Developer of the Embassy Suites that authorizes the City/EDA to construct a link connecting the EBHC to the Hotel. This project was completed in 2011 and we anticipate customers will continue to benefit for many years to come. 6. Environmental sustainability 8 • Public appreciation for the environment will be improved,recycling and energy conservation will improve within the community • The purchasing power of the City will support the goal of environmental sustainability The City will continue many of its past efforts of household recycling,use of recycled goods and materials in our capital projects and daily business operations, and storm water management. The City has implemented conservation rates for the water utility. The Street light utility will continue to explore and pilot test the use of alternative energy lighting in 2012. In 2012 we will develop a plan to comprehensively inventory current City efforts and develop an action plan to address the many environmental sustainability issues in the community. In 2011 the staff participated in a community environmental sustainability forum, and anticipates doing so again in 2012. THE HOUSING AND REDEVLOPMENT AUTHORITY LEVY State law establishing a Housing Redevelopment Authority provides for an operating levy of up to 0.0185%of the taxable market value within the jurisdiction to carry out the purposes of the authority. In Brooklyn Center after forming an HRA the City established an EDA which assumed and expanded the HRA responsibilities into the areas of economic development. To fund the activities of the EDA,the HRA levy is required. The HRA levy is expected to generate$302,288 in 2012 revenue a 2.5% decrease from 2011 due to the change in taxable market value. The EDA fund provides for the operating budget for the EDA and the costs are expected to be $350,534 compared to $389,677 in 2011. EDA funding comes from HRA levy proceeds, interest earnings, and use of Cash Balance in the Fund. This budget includes funding full-time positions of the Business and Development Director, Deputy Director of Building and Community Standards, and staff support positions in this department. THE DEBT SERVICE FUND LEVY The current outstanding exclusively tax supported General Obligation Bond Debt of the City is composed of a single issue; the 2004A Police and Fire Bonds. The outstanding principal balance due on these 10 year bonds as of December 31, 2011,will be $1,385,000. The debt service due in 2012 will be $721,081. These bonds are expected to be paid in full by February 2013. 9 i SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS Economic Development Authority Fund This fund provides for the management and administration of City development efforts. The purpose of this fund is to preserve and improve City neighborhoods by fostering housing stock preservation, commercial and industrial development and redevelopment creating job opportunities, tax base stability and growth. The activities of this fund directly support City Goals#2 and#3. Projects included in the 2012 work plan are the 571h and Logan redevelopment project, Shingle Creek Crossing Redevelopment,the Brookdale Ford Redevelopment, Opportunity Site Redevelopment Projects, Embassy Suite Pond and Land Redevelopment,Howe Fertilizer Redevelopment, Life Time Fitness Redevelopment, Brooklyn Boulevard Redevelopment Study and Implementation Plan, and others. 2012 programmed expenditures; $350,534.

TIF District#2 This financing tool was primarily responsible for redevelopment of Earle Brown Terrace and Earle Brown Commons senior residential projects. The District was decertified in 2011. Funds available in the district were reprogrammed to other high priority redevelopment projects. TIF District#3 In support of goal#2,this fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures for District 3. Major redevelopment projects within this district include 691h and Brooklyn Boulevard, 66th and Highway 252 including the theater and townhomes, as well as the area in and around Brookdale Mall. The district also includes portions of the Opportunity Site, and the parcels along Hwy 694/Hwy 100 and James Circle. Expenditures from this fund after May 18, 2011, may only be used for debt service payments and limited expenditures of up to 25% of the increment collected. Included in this 25% cap is a requirement that 15% of all increments collected during the life of the district must be used in support of moderate- and low-income housing projects. 2012 programmed expenditures; $1,576,744. 10 In 2011 the EDA removed the Brookdale Mall parcels from this district and created TIF District #5 in support of the Shingle Creek Crossing Redevelopment Project. TIF District#4 In support of goal#2,this fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures from District 4. Funds from this district were used to clean up a contaminated site for redevelopment. The resulting redevelopment includes, Supply Technologies - Wagner Spray Tech (Former Wickes Warehouse), Toro Distributing, Caribou Coffee corporate headquarters and other projects with an estimated market value of$20,000,000 with more than 400 jobs. Prior to redevelopment the property had a$2,000,000 assessed market value. The expected decertification date for this pay-as-you go district is 2020; 2012 programmed expenditures; $356,431. City Initiatives Grants Fund This fund accounts for a variety of special purpose grants. The grants include Miscellaneous Police Grants, Auto Theft Grants, COPS Grants and Recreation Grants. Grants from this fund will be used to support the Juvenile Intervention Officer within the Police Department. This position will be federally funded for three of four years.

DEBT SERVICE FUNDS The debt service fund tracks revenues and processed payments for bonds issued to the City for various purposes. The outstanding bonds include Street Improvement Bonds, Police and Fire Building Refunding Bonds, and Tax Increment Bonds; 2012 programmed expenditure; $3,089,844. CAPITAL PROJECT FUNDS Capital Improvement Fund In support of City Goal#5 Maintain and improve infrastructure,the Capital Improvements Fund accounts for the monies available from many sources i.e. general fund, enterprise funds and utility funds to pay for government buildings,park improvements and to purchase land for public use such as parks and public facilities. The CIP includes a twelve (12)year forecast of capital needs in the park system. The 2012 program includes Evergreen Park Fence and Court Reconstruction, Evergreen Athletic Field Lighting Replacement, Centennial Park Youth Soccer contingent upon grant funding approval and Orchard Lake Park Shelter and Improvements. Programmed expenditures; $315,000 11 Infrastructure Construction Fund Also in support of goal #5, the Infrastructure Construction Fund, formerly the Special Assessment Construction Fund, accounts for the financing of improvements funded all or in part by special assessments and transfers from public utility funds. This fund includes expenditures for the Capital Improvements to the Park System. The 2012 program includes Storm Water Pond Rehab for five ponds, Shingle Creek Restoration, Trunk Sewer Replacement,Freeway Blvd/Shingle Creek Intersection Improvements and Improvements to the Earle Brown/ Opportunity Area Street Light System. 2012 planned expenditures; $1,615,000.

This fund accounts for all revenues and expenditures related to the operation of two municipal liquor stores. Revenue growth and profitability is expected to continue in 2012. In 2011 we entered into a new lease for Store #1 on Bass Lake Road. The new lease added 1,350 square feet of space to provide for storage which facilitates increased profitability by expanding bulk purchases. In 2012 the liquor fund will transfer $275,000 to other funds for projects and operations. In 2012 the fund will make improvements to the Cooler Section at Store#1 and improve security systems at both stores. 2012; uses w/o depreciation $5,756,588 Centerbrook Golf Course Operating Fund i The number of rounds played at Centerbrook has continued to decline in recent years. In 2011 we implemented incentive programs to increase rounds played by league golfers with moderate success. This program will continue in 2012. In addition several new marketing programs will be introduced to introduce the course to local business commuters. We will also continue our joint marketing efforts with Brooklyn Park and New Hope. Most significantly we will restructure staffing of the golf operations and make physical improvements to improve our attractiveness and increase market share. In addition the City anticipates a general fund transfer if needed to cover any revenue shortfall in 2012. This fund accounts for the revenues and expenditures of the nine-hole golf course owned and operated by the City of Brooklyn Center. 2012; uses w/o depreciation $259,495 Earle Brown Heritage Center Operating Fund I The award winning Earle Brown Heritage Conference Center provides a community resource for events and meetings while preserving a historical landmark of the community. This Fund accounts for all revenues and expenses associated with conference and meeting and leasing activities hosted by the Center including the maintenance repair of the facility itself. Next year revenues and profitability are expected to improve from the D Barn lease. We are also encouraged by interest generated by the Embassy Suite Hotel and small signs of economic recovery. 2012 uses w/o depreciation $4,314,610 PUBLIC UTILTY FUNDS Water Utility Fund This fund provides for the distribution of potable water to customers. It includes funding for the operations, administration and water utility billing. In 2009 we completed installation of a new 13 i automated meter reading system throughout the City improving efficiency, reliability, and customer service. In 2010 we implemented a State mandated conservation water rate fee system. The 2012 rate per 1000 gallons will increase from$1.40 to $1.51 to provide for the ongoing cost of operations and capital needs. Substantial water main improvements are expected to be completed in association with the neighborhood street projects in future years. To assure that the fund has sufficient cash to fund these future projects, the Council elected to adopt a larger than normal increase at this time. It should be noted that at the rate of$1.51 per thousand,the City customers continue to enjoy a very favorable water rate compared to comparable communities. 2012 uses w/o depreciation $1,497,028. Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund This fund provides funding for the collection and conveyance of wastewater through a system of mains and lift stations. This fund also provides for routine and preventive maintenance of the system. The 2012 single family rates will increase from$65.79 to $67.76 per quarter to provide for the ongoing maintenance and capital needs of the system. The Council considered implementing a consumption based fee for this service as a way to encourage water conservation and improving user equity. After review of the consumer impacts of this change, the Council elected to continue the flat rate approach with a substantial discount for seniors. 2012 uses w/o depreciation $2,648,867. Storm Sewer Utility Fund This fund provides for the collection and management of storm water throughout the city in compliance with State and Federal regulatory requirements. The single family quarterly storm drainage fees for 2012 will remain unchanged at$14.48. 2012 uses w/o depreciation $1,040,091 Street Lighting Fund i This fund provides for electrical and maintenance fees paid to Xcel Energy for street lights owned by Xcel Energy. It also provides for electrical service, maintenance, repair and replacement of lights owned by the City. The City owns ornamental lights in the Earle Brown commercial area, along Brooklyn Blvd and Xerxes Avenue and Bass Lake Road. The City also leases 915 lights from NSP. Another 97 lights owned by the City are located on traffic signal posts and mast arms. Staff has recently inventoried the entire system to identify potential cost saving opportunities. In 2011 conducted pilot tests of new energy efficient lightings systems to determine both the efficiency and efficacy for use in our system. The street light utility fee will increase from $3.95 per quarter to $4.95 per quarter in 2012. This increase is necessary to assure that all replacement and maintenance costs are covered by utility fund revenue as we expand the system and as ornamental lights age; 2012 uses w/o depreciation $455,940 14 i i I Recycling Fund This fund accounts for the operation and administration of the City's state-mandated curbside recycling program. Revenues are from customer service fees with expenses comprised of payments to the Hennepin County Recycling Group, a four-city consortium. The recycling rate for 2012 will remain at $8.43 per quarter. Hennepin County is considering the adoption of new recycling goals that may affect rates in the future; 2012 uses w/o depreciation $286,503. INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS Central Garage Fund The Central Garage Fund accounts for the expense associated with providing services and fuel for a wide range of City vehicles such as fire trucks, squad cars, dump trucks, mowers, loaders, pickups, and staff cars. In addition the Garage services minor equipment such as chain saws, trailer pumps, and generators. When the garage provides these services,the direct and indirect costs are allocated to the department benefiting from the service. All revenue into this fund comes from other City sources, so revenues and expenditures in this operation do not represent additional income or additional expenses to the City. The fund is strictly used to keep track of the costs so that the appropriate City department is charged. Due to revenue constraints, the rate of contributions to this fund has been reduced in recent years. In 2012 we have increased the rate of contribution to assure adequate pay as you go funding; 2012 uses w/o depreciation $1,931,296. 15 • Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO.

The CIP includes a long -term financing plan that allows the City to allocate funds for these projects based on assigned priorities. The fifteen -year horizon of the CIP provides the City with an opportunity to evaluate project priorities annually and to adjust the timing, scope and cost of projects as new information becomes available. The information contained in this plan represents an estimate of improvement costs based on present knowledge and expected conditions. Changes in community priorities, infrastructure condition and inflation rates require that adjustments be made on a routine basis. A capital improvement is defined as a major non - recurring expenditure related to the City's physical facilities and grounds. The 2012 -2026 CIP makes a concerted effort to distinguish between major maintenance projects contained in the City's operating budgets and capital improvement projects financed through the City's capital funds and proprietary funds. Typical expenditures include the cost to construct roads, utilities, parks, or municipal structures. The CIP is predicated on the goals and policies established by the City Council, including the general development, redevelopment, and maintenance policies that are part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. A primary objective of the CIP is to identify projects that further these goals and policies in a manner consistent with funding opportunities and in coordination with other improvement projects. • CIP Project Types The Capital Improvement Program proposes capital expenditures totaling just under $121 million over the next 15 years for basic improvements to the City's streets, parks, public utilities, and municipal buildings. A brief description of the four functional areas is provided below. Public Utilities The City operates four utility systems, all of which have projects included in the CIP — water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, and street lighting. A vast majority of the public utility improvements are constructed in conjunction with street reconstruction projects. The remaining portion of public utilities projects include improvements to water supply wells, water towers, lift stations, force mains and storm water treatment system. Street Improvements Street improvements include reconstruction or resurfacing of neighborhood (local), arterial and collector streets. Proposed improvements include the installation or reconstruction of curb and gutter along public roadways. As noted earlier, street improvements are often accompanied by replacement of public utilities. Park Improvements Park improvements include the construction of trails, shelters, playground equipment, athletic field lighting and other facilities that enhance general park appearance and increase park usage by providing recreational facilities that meet community needs. CIP (2012 — 2026) Page 11 • • Capital Building Maintenance Improvements Capital building maintenance improvements include short and long term building and facility improvements identified in the 18 -year Capital Building Maintenance Program approved in 2007. CIP Funding Sources Capital expenditures by funding source for the fifteen -year period are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1. Major funding sources are described below. Public Utility Funds Customers are billed for services provided by the City's water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and street lighting public utilities. Fees charged to customers are based on operating requirements and capital needs to ensure that equipment and facilities are replaced to maintain basic utility services. Annually the City Council evaluates the needs of each public utility system and establishes rates for each system to meet those needs. Capital Improvements Fund This fund is comprised of transfers from the General Fund, repayment of debt from the Golf Course operating fund, and transfers from liquor operations. Typically the City Council has directed these funds towards municipal facilities such as parks, trails, public buildings and other general purpose needs. Special Assessment Collections Properties benefiting from street and storm sewer improvements are assessed a portion of the project costs in accordance with the City's Special Assessment Policy. Every year the City Council establishes special assessment rates for projects occurring the following year. Rates are typically adjusted annually to maintain the relative proportion of special assessments to other funding sources. • Street Reconstruction Fund The Street Reconstruction Fund provides for the cost of local street improvements along roadways that are not designated as municipal state aid routes. The revenue for this fund is generated from franchise fees charged for the use of public right -of -way by natural gas and electric utility companies. The City's ability to provide adequate revenue for the Street Reconstruction Fund is currently one of the main limiting factors in determining the rate at which future street and utility improvements can be accomplished. Municipal State Aid (MSA) Fund State - shared gas taxes provide funding for street improvements and related costs for those roadways identified as MSA streets. The City has 21 miles of roadway identified as MSA streets and is therefore eligible to receive funding based on this designation. The annual amount available is approximately $830,000 and provides for maintenance and construction activities within the City's MSA street system. Funds to be Determined A dedicated funding source for portions of the Capital Building Maintenance Improvements is yet to be determined. The Liquor Store Enterprise fund was used in 2008 and 2009. In 2010, accumulated unspent funds in the General fund in excess of the amounts required by cash flow needs were used. Other funding sources in this category include grants, park district funding, watershed funding, and county funding as determined on a project by project basis. • CIP (2012 —2026) Page 12 TABLE 1.2012 -2026 Capital Improvement Program - Summary by Funding Source Total Funding Average Annual Percent of • Need 2012 -2026 Funding Need Total Need Water Utility $18,650,000 $1,243,000 15% Sanitary Sewer Utility $14,330,000 $955,000 12% Storm Drainage Utility $12,866,000 $858,000 11% Street Lighting Utility $1,770,000 $118,000 1% Municipal State Aid $8,503,000 $567,000 7% Street Reconstruction Fund $15,172,000 $1,011,000 13% Capital Projects Fund $2,748,000 $183,000 2% Special Assessment Collections $19,444,000 $1,296,000 16% Other Funding Sources $803,000 $54,000 1% Funds To Be Determined $26,322,000 $1,755,000 22% TOTAL $120,608,000 $8,041,0001 100% FIGURE 1. 2012 -2026 Capital Improvement Program — Overview of Project and Funding Sources.

The total project length is approximately 2,660 linear feet. The neighborhood consists of approximately 56 residential properties. Streets This segment of roadway is a Hennepin County Roadway. Humboldt Avenue was originally constructed between 1966 and 1969. Existing streets are generally 36 feet wide with no curb and gutter. The street pavement is deteriorated due to the age of the pavement and inadequate drainage. This x project is included in the City's CIP due to a potential cost sharing agreement for the street and drainage improvements and funding for water main and sanitary sewer improvements as described below. 55M AW H Water main The existing water main in the Humboldt Avenue South project area consists of 6 -inch diameter cast iron pipe (CIP) installed in 1966. A condition survey must be conducted for the existing water system in the project area to determine the extent of corrosion. The water main is in fair condition based on current maintenance records. The current project cost estimate assumes replacing approximately 75 percent of the water main. Sanitary Sewer RIO AWN The existing sanitary sewer consists of 8 -inch diameter vitrified clay pipe lateral sewers. These sewers were originally installed in 1952. Sanitary sewer between 53` and 55` Avenues is subjected to frequent problems • with root intrusion. Root sawing must be performed on an annual basis to maintain the system conveyance capacity. The current project cost estimate includes replacement of approximately 75 percent of the sanitary sewer. Storm Sewer The storm sewer on Humboldt Avenue consists of 18 -inch diameter corrugated metal pipe that drains to a trunk line along 55` Avenue. This storm sewer was installed in 1952. The current project cost estimate includes replacing 100 percent of the storm sewer. The cost estimate assumes that Brooklyn Center may contribute to a portion of the storm drainage cost for the project. Street Lighting The existing street light system is overhead power, with wood poles and a cobra head light fixture. The current cost estimate includes replacing the 4 wood poles with 4 fiberglass poles with a decorative rectilinear fixture and underground power. • Project Summaries P a g e 11 2012 -2026 Capital Improvement Program • France Avenue Mill and Overlay Improvements (north of 69 th Avenue) The France Avenue North project area extends from 73` Avenue to 69 Avenue.

The current project cost estimate includes no sanitary sewer replacement. Storm Sewer The existing storm sewer on France Avenue consists of 12 -inch to 18 -inch and 48 -inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) that drains to Palmer Lake. All of the storm sewer in the project area was installed in 1997 when the road was reconstructed with the exception of the 48 -inch RCP installed in 1968. The current project cost estimate includes no storm sewer replacement. • Project Summaries P a g e 112 2012 -2026 Capital Improvement Program Kylawn Park Neighborhood Improvements • The north portion of the Kylawn Park Neighborhood project area extends from County Road 10 to 61" Avenue, with the exception of June Avenue extending to 63` Avenue, and from June Avenue to Brooklyn Blvd. The south portion of the project area includes 58 Place and Major Avenue. The total project length is 16,622 feet. The 'a neighborhood consists of approximately 320 residential properties. r r Streets r r June Avenue from County Road 10 to 61" Avenue is I � designated as a Municipal State Aid Route.

Street Light and Traffic Signal Improvements Earl Brown and Opportunity Area Street Light Replacement The 37 street lights located within the Earl Brown/Opportunity Site area along a portion of Shingle Creek Parkway, Summit Drive, Earl Brown Drive and John Martin Drive were installed in 1986. The typical life expectancy of this lighting system is approximately 30 years. The City has one remaining replacement pole and luminaire that matches the existing system, and matching luminaires are no longer available from suppliers. The existing system is generally rated in fair to severe shape with increasing maintenance costs. In recent years, two of the poles have actually fallen over, most likely attributed to structural failure. The project includes replacement of the existing roadway street lighting system with a new, advanced system using current technology. Traffic Signal System Replacement at 66' Avenue and TH 252 The existing traffic signal system at the intersection of 66` Avenue and TH 252 is owned and operated by the State. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has programmed this system to be replaced and the City will be required to pay 50 percent as the City's portion for two of the four legs of the • intersection. Earl Brown and Opportunity Area Street Light Replacement — Ornamental Lighting at Nodes The 34 ornamental lights located within the Earl Brown area at the nodes (intersections) along a portion of Shingle Creek Parkway, Summit Drive, Earl Brown Drive and John Martin Drive were installed in 1986. The typical life expectance of this lighting system is approximately 30 years. The City has no remaining replacement poles or luminaires that match the existing system, and matching luminaires are no longer available from suppliers. The existing system is generally rated in fair to poor shape with increasing maintenance costs. The project includes replacement of the existing decorative lighting system at the intersections /nodes with a new, advanced system using current technology. Capital Maintenance Building Plan Yearly Capital Maintenance Building Plan Projects In 2007, the City approved an 18 -year Capital Building Maintenance Plan that includes short- and long- term building and facility improvements. The following buildings and facilities are covered under this plan: city hall, community center, public works facility, public works cold storage building, public works salt/sand storage building, police station, west fire station, east fire station, Centerbrook Golf Course club house, Centerbrook Golf Course maintenance building, Centerbrook Golf Course storage garage, sanitary lift station Nos. 1 and 2, municipal well Nos 2 -10, Evergreen Park building, Garden City Park building, Central Park west building, Central Park plaza, and Central Park gazebo. • Project Summaries Page 141 2012 -2026 Capital Improvement Program Storm Water Improvements Connections Shingle Creek Restoration Project As part of the 2009 Connections at Shingle Creek Corridor Study, a section of Shingle Creek from Regent Avenue in Brooklyn Park to Nobel Avenue was assessed for opportunities to provide ecological restoration. Additionally, Shingle Creek has been identified as having dissolved oxygen and biotic impairments that must be addressed. The first phase of this project includes the restoration of the portion of the creek from Brooklyn Boulevard to 700 -feet east of Noble Avenue. Restoration improvements include repairing eroded stream bank areas, adding riffles and plunge pools, thinning out the significant tree canopy, installing culvert energy dissipating rip rap and slope protection and establishing a wider vegetated wetland /upland buffer adjacent to the creek. The City of Brooklyn Center will be responsible for only a portion of the project funding. The proposed funding is expected to include 50% City funding (25% from Brooklyn Center and 25% from Brooklyn Park), 25% grant funding and the remaining 25% to be shared by the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission. This project is anticipated to proceed only upon successful grant award. Storm Water Management Basins In 2005, the City of Brooklyn Center hired the consulting firm of Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates to conduct a condition assessment of 30 storm water management ponds located throughout the City. The assessment process resulted in a list of improvements to address problems with shoreline erosion, sediment accumulation, inlet and outlet blockages and other miscellaneous maintenance issues. Below is a description of the projects that were not considered routine annual maintenance work normally addressed as part of the annual operating budget for the Storm Drainage Utility. Storm Water Pond 12 -002 Pond 12 -002 is located within the west central portion of the golf course. The basin receives runoff from approximately 400 acres within the southwest portion of the City. Pond deficiencies noted during the inspection include, shoreline erosion along the eastern portion of the pond; an erosion channel that has cut through the berm separating pond 12 -002 from pond 12 -003; and a large volume of accumulated sediments within the pond. Proposed improvements consist of repairing erosion areas and removal of a portion of the accumulated sediment. Storm Water Pond 12 -003 Pond 12 -002 is located within the west central portion of the golf course and includes a concrete headwall structure connecting Ponds 12 -002, 12 -003 and 12 -004. The basin receives runoff from approximately 400 acres within the southwest portion of the City, the same drainage area as 12 -002. Pond deficiencies noted during the inspection include shoreline erosion along the north and east sides of the pond. The concrete headwall structure is filling with sediment with an average of one foot of sediment in the trench and three feet of sediment near the weir outlet. Proposed improvements consist of repairing erosion areas, removal of sediment from the headwall trench and near the outlets of the headwall structure. Storm Water Pond 12 -004 Pond 12 -004 is located within the northern portion of the golf course. The basin receives runoff from the Brookdale Shopping Center. The pond has lost approximately 20 percent of the wet volume due to sediment accumulation over the first 8 years of operation. By the year 2016, the pond is expected to loose approximately 45 percent of the wet volume due to sediment accumulation. Proposed work consists of the removal of accumulated sediments to restore the water quality treatment function of the storm water pond. • Project Summaries Page 142 2012 -2026 Capital Improvement Program Storm Water Pond 12 -005 • Pond 12 -005 receives runoff from the upstream ponds 12 -002 and 12 -004. The condition survey revealed that an excessive volume of sediment has accumulated in the pond and has decreased the wet storage volume necessary to provide water quality treatment. The proposed work consists of removing the accumulated sediment. Storm Water Pond 18 -001 Pond 18 -001 is located northwest of Northport Park. The pond receives runoff from approximately 120 acres of upstream drainage area. This basin has filled with an extensive amount of sediment over the past 40 to 50 years. A majority of this basin is likely classified as jurisdictional wetland under the Wetland Conservation Act. However, the basin has lost many of the wetland values due to the accumulation of sediment. The proposed project consists of excavating sediment from the basin to restore the flow capacity through the wetland and restore a wet pool volume with an average depth of 2 to 3 feet in the central part of the wetland. Fringe areas would be restored with native wetland species. Storm Water Pond 46 -001 Pond 46 -001 is located within the northern portion of Orchard Lane Park. The pond receives runoff from approximately 60 acres of residential development located west of Orchard Lane Park and approximately 50 acres located north of Interstate 94/694. The pond is was originally design as a detention basin without wet volume to provide additional water quality benefit. The proposed improvements consist of excavating wet storage volume below the invert of the outlet pipe to increase the water quality treatment performance of the basin. Storm Water Pond 50 -001 Pond 50 -001 is located within Cahlander Park. The pond receives runoff from approximately 230 acres of • upstream residential development. Due to the large watershed to pond area ratio, this pond is subject to higher rates of sediment accumulation and potential erosion issues. Traces of hydrocarbon pollutants were noted in the sediment during the most recent site inspection. The proposed project consists of dredging and properly disposing of sediment from the pond and repairs to various shoreline erosion issues. Storm Water Pond 60 -001 Pond 60 -001 is located west of Xerxes Avenue and south of Brooklyn Drive within Central Park. The pond receives runoff from approximately 85 acres of upstream residential development. This pond was constructed in 2003. By 2013, preliminary estimates indicate that approximately 30 to 40 percent of the wet volume will be lost due to sediment accumulation. The proposed work consists of removal of sediment and installation of a skimmer structure to enhance the water quality treatment performance of the pond. Park and Trail Improvements Centennial Park Youth Soccer Field Improvements Proposed construction includes converting a general use area to an improved youth soccer field. Amenities include irrigation, permanent nets, bleachers and other miscellaneous site improvements. Evergreen Park Fence and Tennis Court Reconstruction Proposed construction includes replacement of the soccer field fence and gate, replacement of the baseball and softball outfield fences and resurfacing the tennis courts within Evergreen Park. • Project Summaries Page 143 2012 -2026 Capital Improvement Program • Evergreen Athletic Field Lighting Replacement Proposed construction includes replacement of the elevated outdoor lighting system for the athletic fields located within Evergreen Park. This project includes replacement of the existing lighting system. The project does not include substantial expansion of the current lighting system. Orchard Lane Open Picnic Shelter & Park Improvements Proposed construction activities include the replacement of the existing shelter building with a small picnic shelter and installation of one security light. The picnic shelter structure would be similar in design to the open picnic shelters located within Willow Lane Park and Riverdale Park. Other park improvements include miscellaneous amenities (drinking fountain, picnic tables, benches), and trail and parking lot pavement improvements as warranted. Northport Park Building Proposed construction activities include the replacement of the existing shelter building. The new structure is scheduled to include picnic facilities, one unisex restroom and a small utility area. The new shelter will be consistent with the park building constructed in Kylawn Park in 2007/2008. Baseball Backstop Replacements Proposed construction includes replacement of the baseball backstop fences at Central Park, Freeway Park and Willow Lane Park. Centennial Park Tennis Court Resurfacing Proposed construction includes the removal of two existing tennis courts and resurfacing of the two remaining two tennis courts within Central Park. • Willow Lane Park Trail Improvements Proposed construction includes replacement of the trail system within Willow Lane Park. An eight foot wide trail section is proposed. Baseball Fence Replacement Proposed construction includes replacement of the line fences at Central Park and East Palmer Lake Park and the replacement of the line and outfield fences at Northport Park. Freeway Park Trail Improvements Proposed construction includes replacement of the trail system within Freeway Park. An eight foot wide trail section is proposed. Lions Park Trail Improvements Proposed construction includes replacement of the trail system within Lions Park. Parallel biking and walking trails would be removed and replaced with a single ten foot wide trail section. Evergreen Park Trail Improvements Proposed construction includes replacement of the bituminous trail within Evergreen Park. Replacement of the trail along 70 Avenue is not part of the project. An eight foot wide trail section is proposed. Brooklyn Boulevard City Entrance Signs Proposed improvements include painting the existing City entrance signs and cedar fences surrounding the signs located along Brooklyn Boulevard at the Minneapolis and Brooklyn Park borders. • Project Summaries Page 144 2012 -2026 Capital Improvement Program 69` Avenue Greenway & Cahlander Park Fence Rehabilitation • Proposed construction includes refinishing the wood fence along the north side of the 69` Avenue greenway between Brooklyn Boulevard and Palmer Lake Drive and the privacy fence on the west side of Cahlander Park. West River Road Trail Improvements Proposed construction includes replacement of the bituminous trail along West River Road from 73` Avenue to 66` Avenue. A ten foot wide trail section is proposed. Centennial Park East Trail Improvements Proposed construction includes replacement of the bituminous trail system within the eastern portion of Central Park. The trail segment proposed for replacement is between Interstate 94 and the south City Hall parking lot, east of Shingle Creek. A ten foot wide trail section is proposed along the main trail corridor and an eight foot wide trail section is proposed for the adjacent pedestrian trails. Play Ground Equipment Replacement Proposed replacement includes replacing park play ground equipment over a three year period. A total of 20 parks located within Brooklyn Center contain 21 separate playground equipment areas, 18 that are maintained by the City and three that are maintained by the adjacent schools. Six playgrounds are scheduled for replacement each year over the three year period. An assessment of the play ground equipment will need to be completed to determine replacement priority. Palmer Lake Trail Mill and Overlay Proposed construction includes resurfacing of the existing trail system extending around Palmer Lake. This trail was last reconstructed in 2005 with an expected maximum service life of 15 to 20 years due to the soil stability issues within the park area. • Hockey Rink Rehabilitation and Replacements Proposed rehabilitation includes resurfacing of five existing rinks with other miscellaneous rink repairs. An assessment of the rink appurtenances will need to be completed to determine replacement priority. The rink located at Northport Park will be further evaluated with the Northport Park improvements and master planning being conducted in connection with the Northport School rehabilitation. Irrigation Systems Rehabilitation and Replacements The City's Irrigation systems are located as follows: Evergreen Park, Centennial Park, Northport Park, Grandview Park, 69` Avenue, Public Works Garage Facility, West Fire Station, Shingle Creek Parkway, 53` Avenue (Belview area), Xerxes Avenue, Bass Lake Road and County Road 57. The proposed rehabilitation estimate includes rehabilitation of the Evergreen Park and the 69` Avenue systems, which were installed in 1986 and 1989, respectively. Centennial Park Softball Field Re- grading Improvements The Centennial Park softball fields experience settlement due to the underlying organic soils. Over the years, settlement has occurred approximately one foot. This is evident in the fact that the light base foundations within the ball field areas have generally held their original elevations and are higher than the surrounding ground. Due to the proximity to Shingle Creek and the low lying areas, this settlement causes increased flooding and drainage issues. The proposed plan includes raising the ball fields one to two feet and replacement of any necessary appurtenances including irrigation systems, draintile, fences and bituminous /concrete trails and other paved areas. • Project Summaries Page 145 2012 -2026 Capital Improvement Program • Miscellaneous Projects and Improvements Freeway Boulevard and Shingle Creek Parkway Intersection Improvements The intersection was identified in a traffic impact study performed for the FBI site as needing improvements to accommodate the increased traffic once the FBI site is occupied. Improvements include converting and /or constructing a dual left turn lane (eastbound to southbound), interconnecting the signal system with the adjacent signal systems and optimizing the operation of the system. Highway 100 Bridge at CR10 /CR57 Improvements The existing roadway bridge is owned and maintained by the State. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has programmed this bridge deck to be replaced in 2013. The existing bridge deck consists of approximately 5 -foot sidewalks on each side. The sidewalk on the south side of the bridge is proposed to be widened to approximately 12 -feet as part of the joint trail extension project from Shingle Creek Parkway to the Mississippi River trail. The City is working with Mn/DOT, Hennepin County and the Three Rivers Park District to implement this reconfiguration of the roadway and pedestrian lane usage on the available proposed deck width. The majority of the funding for the bridge deck replacement is proposed to come from Mn/DOT. There amount includes an amount to replace the existing bridge deck under its current configuration. The changes to obtain a trail on the south side of the bridge is proposed to be shared by the Hennepin County, Three Rivers Park District and the City. Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Reconstruction /Complete Street Improvements Brooklyn Boulevard from 1 -94 to the southerly City limits (49` Avenue) is a Hennepin County roadway (County Road 152) under their jurisdiction. The County has a portion of Brooklyn Boulevard from 1 -94 to Highway 100 planned for reconstruction in 2016. Currently the City is undertaking a corridor study for this • section of roadway within the City of Brooklyn Center to evaluate necessary improvements including roadway, trail, streetscaping, intersection, access, development and transit improvements. This study will be used to create a vision, develop a preferred alternative layout, identify costs for the improvements, and develop funding strategies for the improvements. The funding partnership and proportions are to be determined in the future but are anticipated to include federal funding, Hennepin county funding and City funding. • Project Summaries Page 146 2012 -2026 Capital Improvement Program City Council Agenda Item Na lOf � i i I 1 COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM • DATE: December 5, 2011 TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager FROM: Sharon Knutson, City Clerk J" Audh SUBJECT: Mayoral Reappointments to City Advisory Commissions Recommendation: The enabling resolutions for the City Advisory Commissions outline that the members of the Commissions shall be appointed by the Mayor with majority consent of the Council.

Background: Staff informally developed neighborhood designations throughout the City to initially facilitate the neighborhood area meetings spearheaded by the Police Department. It has been a way to promote consistent communications about projects. The neighborhood designations are being brought forward to the City Council for consideration of formal adoption by the City Council. At this time, formal adoption of the neighborhoods could assist with broader communication strategies. In the future, other uses could be explored as part of policy decisions or targeted • programs. Proposed neighborhood designations and some considerations are reviewed in this memo. The draft neighborhood designation map consists of seventeen different neighborhoods in areas of less than 900 single family properties. Staff from City departments met initially to discuss area characteristics, names and identifiers, and potential uses for neighborhood areas. The neighborhood names were derived from local neighborhood parks, positive identifiers and often natural focal points of a neighborhood area. The physical and neighborhood characteristics, such as streets and property types, were also considered when defining the proposed neighborhoods. Comparison: In order to best determine the neighborhood areas, it is important to know how the neighborhoods will be used. There are several factors that would influence the optimal size and geographic location of the neighborhoods. As part of the research, staff interviewed representatives from five different cities that currently have neighborhood designations to find out the successes and challenges of establishing and using neighborhoods areas. Some highlights of this research are provided below: • The size of neighborhoods varies significantly between cities. • The number of neighborhoods within a city can vary significantly depending on the overall size of the city and neighborhoods. Portland Oregon has the greatest number of neighborhoods at 95 and the City of Crystal has 14 being the fewest. • Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quality of life andpreserves thepublic trust MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION • In general, cities have used the neighborhoods to improve communication between the • city and the residents through targeted mailings and correspondence, and in certain cases through specific neighborhood programs. • One common challenge identified is citizen involvement. Although some cities have tried to invoke ongoing engagement through neighborhood programs, sustaining neighborhood involvement in the long -run was not always achieved. • Some cities have allocated resources such as staffing and dedicated funds to support neighborhood group programs. For more information, please see the attached City Neighborhood Comparison chart. Consideration: There are many aspects to consider when defining a neighborhood within the city. • Size: The first thing to consider is the size of the neighborhoods, which could vary from a block level to quadrant. The proposed neighborhoods vary from 200 to 1000 single family properties, or approximately 15 to 40 square blocks within each neighborhood. • Use: The use of the neighborhoods will influence the recommended size of a neighborhood. Neighborhoods can be used for communications purposes, for neighborhood meetings, grant appropriation, neighborhood groups, inspection areas, street maintenance areas, etc. • Resources: Depending on the development and use of neighborhoods, the resource needs vary. Staff time may be involved in the setup and monitoring of these neighborhoods, depending upon the level of neighborhood area involvement and initiatives. For example, if a neighborhood grant program is initiated, staff and funding resources would be greater than using the neighborhoods for communication only purposes. A neighborhood program could involve City staff coordinating neighborhood cleanups or garage sales. • Identification: Neighborhoods can be physically identified through various means such as on street signage or by monument type of signage. The costs vary depending on the number and type of signs. • Resident Involvement One key factor of a successful, high level neighborhood designation is resident involvement and acceptance. When determining neighborhood areas, it is important to consider resident perceptions and potential involvement. • Property Types (Commercial /Residential. Should the neighborhoods include specific types of properties such as residential versus commercial, or should they be defined strictly on the basis of geography? There are advantages and disadvantages to both scenarios. Process: Depending on the nature of the feedback from the City Council, staff could prepare a resolution to officially adopt the neighborhoods at a future Council Meeting. As an alternative, staff could seek feedback about the proposed neighborhood areas and potential uses from the Housing Commission and Parks Commission prior to official neighborhood designations. The feedback would be incorporated into a final report and a resolution drafted for Council consideration. • Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe comnurnity that enhances the quality of life andpreserves the public trust MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION • Policy Issues: • Is there benefit or drawback to officially identifying neighborhoods? • What is the most beneficial use of neighborhood designations? I.e. Communications, operations, community engagement, neighborhood improvements • What level of resources and timeline should be allocated toward neighborhood programs? I.e. Staffing, signage, grants Council Goals: Strategic: 3. We will stabilize and improve residential neighborhoods Ongoing: 5.

Questions ? • Work Session Agenda Item No. 2 MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION • DATE: December 5, 2011 TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager FROM: Gary Eitel, Director of Business and Development SUBJECT: Opportunity to acquire 6031 Brooklyn Boulevard as part of the reimaging of the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council consider providing direction to staff regarding the potential acquisition of 6031 Brooklyn Boulevard as part of the reimaging of the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor. Background: The single family residence at 6031 Brooklyn Boulevard was acquired by Rockwell Investment LLC on September 29, 2009 for $63,000. The owner proceeded with rehabbing the home (permits for the replacement of 12 windows and plumbing fixtures were issued) and has indicated that he obtained an $89,000 mortgage on the property. In May of 2010, a rental license • was issued with an expiration date of 12/31/11. On November 16, 2011, there was a house fire at this residence and the property is currently vacant. The property owner is aware of the City's goal to replace the single family residential land uses along Brooklyn Boulevard, the City's acquisition of the adjoining properties, and previously indicated a sales price in the range of $125,000 should the City also wish to acquire his property. The EDA has previously acquired the following foreclosed and /or distressed properties which are adjacent to this property: - 6025 Brooklyn Boulevard — a single family dwelling on a 9,524 sq.ft. lot for $74,100 acquired on 12/29/09 and - 6037 Brooklyn Boulevard — a 12 unit apartment building on a 26,120 sq.ft. lot for $505,000 acquired on 8/14/10. Additionally, the EDA acquired 6045 Brooklyn Boulevard, a residential structure on a 19,313 sq.ft. lot, which was converted to an office use, on 10/30/09 for $224,900. The attached aerial photograph illustrates these properties and the subject property, which collectively comprise 66,207 sq. ft. in area and 421 feet of frontage on Brooklyn Boulevard. • Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the quali4- of life anal preserves the public trust MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION Proposed Acquisition: • The property owner is offering the property to the EDA for $100,000 in an as is condition (a vacant home with fire damage) should the EDA chose to acquire the property and demolish the structure. In the event the EDA does not pursue the acquisition, the owner intends to use his property insurance claim to repair the damages and proceed with his rental license renewal application. Policy Issues: Does the City Council feel that the acquisition and removal of the single family residence at 6031 Brooklyn Boulevard will have a positive effect on improving the image of Brooklyn Boulevard? Does the City Council feel that it is in the public interest to direct staff to pursue negotiations for the acquisition of 6031 Brooklyn Boulevard with the use available TIF 3 Housing Funds? Council Goals: Strategic: 3. We will stabilize and improve residential neighborhoods Ongoing: 5. We will improve the image of the City with citizens and those outside of the City's borders • • Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe community that enhances the 7ualiN of life and preserves the public trust ■ 1���0 1 .1 C •• C• • 21V City Owned Properties N Brooklyn Boulevard and 60th Avenue Area 3309 • 2 22 J w 1 0 't 4 i— _, —_-- 330 61 STAVE N - _' _ 1 \11 �� - � !:ref, I r -ter ' _� = l . � • � � 1 1 '� � � �; ; `6 X4 8 Ali s ij:l' i alp '�+• *•� J t li 161 01 � ; y � r �, � `; — 61STAUE -Nr- . 1oaz NO 6018 , tics. f `�,_ + _ — • `•� 6006 •`Yi �` • , '� ��. • 6019 � � ;, sole •�-, _ �.. t=h ♦. >' y 6000 ,� 1• - f Y e c.13 71 60TH AVE'N 6006 af. .E. :. -- J j 1 q ' 6001 6000 600`,V y Ili + Iw1 Q ` l ° m ..� ,+ ; . 9 i � l r K , _ - - .-311. ] �f E.e > -t.•- ^T - � — - -- -- ADMIRAL -LN N - - -- -- � .,,> - • T 'I � " -- rr•. low Iwo p r 1: •1 ,t I f I 4 Z ,r !. - ,J7 C, - .5924'• r fiszo,• - -�` - � l � j." - - R • - I X 5918 0 ' 2040 80 120 160 Goor , . — W r• �YBi�+�i.�� �'4 iA:r1e ... , �"� J �' y y sM�y , _: - •r.�� K —, r , -• � - Now j i j'7t•4' Rockwell Investments LLC • 4122 West Broadway Avenue N Suite 503 Robbinsdale, MN 55422 November 28, 2011 Re: Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Study /Offer for Sale for 6031 Brooklyn Boulevard Dear Mr. Eitel: I am formally writing to inform you of our willingness to offer the above mentioned property for sale to the City of Brooklyn Center. As per our last meeting we had concerning this matter in June of 2011, one of your biggest concerns was relocation benefit. Currently the subject property is vacant and awaiting to undergo some re- habilitation and re- occupation. So on this note, we at Rockwell Investments LLC have decided to re- approach the issue of sale again. Please also bear in mind that the cost of demolition of this subject property in relation to the size /square footage of the lot acquired will pail in comparison to the lot next door at 6037 Brooklyn Boulevard. As I stated earlier, the Hennepin County Tax assessed value is One hundred and twenty • thousand dollar and this was the figure we were asking then, but as it is right now, we are willing to accept a sale price of One hundred thousand dollar. Thank you for your anticipated co- operation on this matter and I hope that the city council will look favorable to our proposal. Thanks YolVs sincerel r 1 Eme a G.
