Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning
introduced the item and summarized the assessment appeal process, noting 11 had appealed

03/26/12 -4-
Schleuning presented staff's finding and recommendation for the appealed assessments as
follows: 6418 Kyle Avenue N., due to the timing of the pending assessment, that the $150
administrative service fee be removed; 6724 Dupont Avenue N., due to the timing of the pending
assessment that the $100 administrative service fee be removed; 5349 Sailor Lane N., the full
amount be specially assessed; 4900 Howe Lane N., the full amount be specially assessed; 1201
57th Avenue N., the full amount be specially assessed; 7215 Riverdale Road, this property is not
on this special assessment roll since the fees have been paid; 5510 France Avenue N., due to the
timing of the pending assessment that the $150 administrative service fee be removed; 3218 60h
Avenue N., the full amount be specially assessed; 5324 63`d Avenue N., the full amount be
specially assessed; 5841 Zenith Avenue N., the full amount be specially assessed; and, 6331
Bryant Avenue N., the full amount be specially assessed. Ms. Schleuning noted two options
have been provided for the City Council's consideration: 1) assessment of full abatement costs;
or, 2) staff's recommendation as presented tonight.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to continue the
Public Hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
Kin Mun, 5510 France Avenue N., reviewed the timing for his purchase of this property, noting
the abatement action had occurred between the time his offer to purchase was accepted and
closing on the property when he did not have the authority to work on the property. He asked the
City Council to consider these circumstances and waive the administrative service fee.
Etmira Peal, 4900 Howe Lane, stated the City notice was dated in September but she did not
purchase the property until October 7, 2011. She explained she had contacted the previous
owner and then two real estate agents but received no response. Ms. Peal appealed to the City
Council since she was not the property owner at the time of the abatement and does not have the
amount the City is asking her to pay to cut the grass.
Michael Parks, 3218 641h Avenue, stated his lawn mower was stolen so he was cutting the grass
with a weed whacker and while he tried to keep it even, it was a little "patchy" as described by
staff. He asked the City Council to waive the fine because after he received the first notice he
had cut the grass and it was not over 8 inches, as shown in the picture.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to close the Public
Hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.

10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS
10a. CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6-MONTH PROVISIONAL RENTAL LICENSE
FOR 6761 HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH
Ms. Schleuning stated this property is one individually-owned unit that is part of a townhome
property consisting of eight units. She advised that the property owner is applying for a renewal
rental license; however, because of the amount of time required to work with the property
owners of this townhome property developing a long-term capital improvement plan, the first
license period has passed. Ms. Schleuning described the types of capital improvements planned
for this property. Since the owner has met the licensing application requirements for the second
license, both rental licenses are being considered for approval at this time.
Ms. Schleuning addressed the first rental license, noting 6761 Humboldt Avenue North was
inspected and ten property code violations were cited and ultimately corrected. There have been
two 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. The property owner is also required
to submit a mitigation plan and report monthly on the progress of that plan. Ms. Schleuning
addressed the second rental license application, noting this property qualifies for a Type 11 Rental
License based on three association maintained violations that were cited and ultimately
corrected.
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 of the issuance of a Type IV 6-Month Provisional Rental License and
03/26/12 -6-
Mitigation Plan, and a Type II Rental License for 6761 Humboldt Avenue based on meeting
standards in the mitigation plan.
Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to open the hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
No one appeared to address the Council.
Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lasman seconded to close the hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
1. RESOLUTION NO. 2012-49 APPROVING TYPE IV & TYPE II RENTAL
LICENSES FOR 6761 HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to adopt Resolution
No. 2012-49 Approving Type IV and Type II Rental Licenses for 6761 Humboldt Avenue North.
Motion passed unanimously.
10b. CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6-MONTH PROVISIONAL RENTAL LICENSE
FOR 6753 HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH
Ms. Schleuning advised that 6753 Humboldt Avenue North was inspected and 11 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. 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.

with the requirement that the mitigation plan must be strictly adhered to before a renewal rental
license would be considered.
Motion passed unanimously.
10c. CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6-MONTH PROVISIONAL RENTAL LICENSE
FOR 6765 HUMBOLDT AVENUE NORTH
Ms. Schleuning advised the owner of 6765 Humboldt Avenue North received a Type IV Rental
License on August 22, 2011, on condition of adherence to the Mitigation Plan and City
Ordinances. The property would qualify for a Type II rental License based on property code
violations and validated police nuisance incidents. However, the owner has failed to meet the
conditions of the Type IV Rental License, specifically the owner did not complete security
improvements or attend the required Association of Responsible Managers meetings. 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. 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 in lieu of denial, revocation, or
suspension because the owner made improvements to the condition of the property.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to open the hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
No one appeared to address the Council.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the hearing.

FOR 5245-47 DREW AVENUE NORTH
Ms. Schleuning advised that 5245-5247 Drew Avenue North is a two-family dwelling and was
inspected and 31 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. It was noted this property was
03/26/12 -8-
i
previously issued a Type III Rental License that expired on November 30, 2011. 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.

Motion passed unanimously.
10e. ACCEPTANCE OF STAFF REPORT REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENT
TO BROOKLYN CENTER CITY CHARTER
Mr. Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and recommended the assessment of the
proposed Charter Amendment relating to eminent domain be provided to the Charter
Commission.
Councilmember Ryan stated the Charter Commission presented an amendment to the City
Charter at the last meeting. He asked if it would impact the timing of notification and public
requirements, and the subsequent requirement for a Public Hearing, and should the Charter
Commission determine to amend some of the language. City Attorney Charlie LeFevere advised
in that case the best course for the Charter Commission would be to withdraw the original
proposal, which would relieve the deadlines, and then submit new language and restart the
process.
Mr. Boganey explained that based on the date the City Council received the report, the ordinance
language must be published no later than Thursday, April 12, 2012, so it would have to be
submitted to the Sun Post by April 5, 2012. He noted that should the Charter Commission
withdraw its original request, the City Council can determine whether to cancel the Public
Hearing date.
Mr. LeFevere described the two methods the Charter can be amended, via unanimous support of
the City Council or vote of the electorate. In addition to forwarding this report to the Charter
03/26/12 -9-
Commission, Mr. LeFevere indicated it may be advisable to inform the Charter Commission if
one or more City Councilmembers are not willing to consider this amendment. In that case, the
Charter Commission could then decide if it wanted to submit a Charter amendment for the
election, or determine to open dialogue with the City Council and try to reach an agreement.
Mayor Willson stated he was very clear at the last meeting that he would not support the
language the Charter Commission recommended due to the 60-day time limit that would result in
the City being unable to withdraw from an eminent domain proceeding. In addition, there is a
question of when and what triggers the 60-day period. Mayor Willson noted State Statutes
already negate the ability for the City to use eminent domain as it has been used in the past and
he sees no reason to make the City's Charter more stringent and place the City at more risk.
Councilmember Lasman concurred and noted additional concerns relate to points mentioned by
Mr. LeFevere in the memorandum. She indicated if a proceeding is dismissed, all
parties/agencies in a condemnation action would have to be in agreement, which could be a
disadvantage to the land owner and the City. She stated she also has reservations and hopes after
the Charter Commission reads the staff memorandum it will take under advisement the points
made by the City Attorney.
Councilmember Ryan noted much of the Charter Commission's proposed amendment language
echoes language in present State Law, which takes precedence over the City Charter. He felt the
proposed amendment would place administrative rules in the Charter, which seems to be
redundant. Mr. LeFevere stated the first part of the proposed amendment is the definition of
public use and public purpose and identical to the State Law so it is not legally necessary.
However, if State law is changed at some point in the future to give the City greater power, this
amendment would hold the City back. Mr. LeFevere described the consideration of the
Legislature when it severely restricted the ability of cities to use eminent domain in its 2006
amendment and the resulting impact. He explained that in cases where the City is doing a public
project (i.e., street), the project is typically in the CIP and the City does not want to wait to
complete a condemnation process so instead it uses a quitclaim process to get title of the property
within 90 days and after that point the City cannot back out.
Councilmember Ryan stated the final clause of the proposed Charter amendment could cause
difficulties for the City under circumstances of taking property for a defined public purpose
(road, right-of-way). Mr. LeFevere advised it could also be for a development such as to
remediate a contaminated site. He described the process for such an undertaking with the 60-day
limitation and how it would take away the power of the City to protect tax dollars.
Councilmember Ryan stated his concern with the proposed Charter amendment language,
finding it would tie the hands of this and future City Councils.
Councilmember Myszkowski stated Members have already addressed the many difficulties with
the proposed Charter amendment and she found that the State Statutes were restrictive enough.
She indicated she had pondered the 60-day limitation, which perhaps offered to create a situation
where the City would never consider eminent domain. Councilmember Myszkowski stated she
found the amendment to be dangerous in many ways and hopes the Charter Commission is
amenable to reconsidering.

Mayor Willson indicated the Charter Commission has every right to propose language to the City
Council and if the City Council is unanimous in accepting the recommendation, the Charter is
altered. However, if one Council Member does not support the recommended change to the
Charter, the Charter Commission has every right to then put that question before the citizens for
a vote at an election. Mayor Willson stated should that occur, he would prefer it dovetail with a
general election. Mr. LeFevere advised the Charter Commission could be asked to consider the
City Council's support to consider an amendment at the next general election to avoid the
expense of a special election. Mayor Willson estimated it cost $10,000412,000 to conduct a
special election. Mr. Boganey confirmed the cost of the last special election was in that range.
Councilmember Kleven stated she agrees with comments by other Members that the proposed
Charter language is more restrictive than State law and she hopes the Charter Commission will
reconsider and dismiss their amendment proposal.
Mayor Willson stated at the previous City Council meeting, Charter Commission Chair Stan
Leino indicated he would ask the Charter Commission to meet earlier and would convey that the
City Council was not comfortable with the language. Mr. Boganey advised the next Charter
Commission meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 12, 2012.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to accept the staff
report regarding the effect of the Charter Commission proposed changes to the City Charter
Section Chapter Nine, Eminent Domain, and direct that a copy of the report be provided the
Charter Commission for its consideration.
Motion passed unanimously.
