Subject: Inclusiveness&Diversity
Mayor Wilson,
Golden Valley has now joined a growing list of cities in Minnesota, including Duluth,Saint Paul, Minneapolis,St. Louis
Park, Edina,and Falcon Heights,which have joined to defeat the constitutional amendment which would limit the
freedoms of Minnesotans and ban marriage for same-sex couples in Minnesota. Although I have discussed this matter
with a number of City Council members, my feeling is they are ambivalent when it comes to a committed stance specific
to this issue.
At our recent joint meeting between City Council members and Advisory Commissions some effort was extended to
point out proposed revisions to our city's Mission Statement, City Values Statement and Strategic Goals, each of which
were aimed at inclusiveness and diversity. It is not enough to state what we believe by sending a symbolic message; we
cannot simply"talk the talk". Mayor, I believe we must"walk the walk" and truly show we are a diverse and accepting
community.
If necessary I would be happy to address the City Council publicly in an effort to champion our entry into a growing list of
bodies(both government and religious) which are coming out against this hateful, divisive and entirely unnecessary
constitutional amendment. I will however be a bit bold by suggesting this might be something better left to you and the
)uncil to drive internally in the absence of any need for public discussion.
Very kindly yours,
eve Landis

MISCELLANEOUS
COMMUNICATION AND LIAISON WITH
CHARTER COMMISSION—MAYOR WILLSON
Mr. LeFevere indicated he has been asked to attend the next Charter Commission meeting when
a discussion will be held on eminent domain and a proposal to adopt a ward system.
05/29/12 -1- DRAFT
Mayor Willson noted the Charter Commission has presented no proposal before the City Council
relating to a ward system.
Mr. LeFevere explained it is on the Charter Commission's next meeting agenda. He asked
whether the City Council is interested in encouraging earlier dialogue and discussion with the
Charter Commission, which is a separate political body appointed by the court and created by
State Statute. Mr. LeFevere noted it is recognized the Charter can be amended most efficiently
and effectively if both parties (Charter Commission and City Council) agree with the amendment
and it is approved by ordinance. However, dialogue is needed between the Charter Commission
and City Council for that to occur. He stated City Councilmembers can attend Charter
Commission meetings or appoint a liaison to report on its considerations, or it can invite
discussion prior to formal presentation of a Charter amendment.
Mayor Willson read the rules of the Charter Commission for consideration of comment during its
meetings.
The City Council discussed its respect for the Charter Commission and the Commission's role to
work in what it believes is the best interests of Brooklyn Center residents. Support was
expressed for Mr. LeFevere to meet with the Charter Commission to present the option of
holding informal discussion prior to malting formal presentation before the City Council. It was
noted this would provide additional time to reach compromise or tweak,the amendment language
prior to starting the "clock" for scheduling a Public Hearing, making a determination, and/or
placement on the ballot.
The consensus of the City Council was to support opening early dialogue with the Charter
Commission on proposed Charter amendments.
The City Council discussed the Charter Commission's proposed amendment relating to eminent
domain and offer to extend the 60-day time restriction to 90 days. Mayor Willson noted that
time extension had not yet been presented formally to the City Council.
Mr. LeFevere concurred and stated the City Council had already indicated that going from 60 to
90 days did not have much effect on its concern that the City could not abandon the process
unless all interested parties were willing. He explained the Charter Commission's concern was
in having residents go through condemnation and that the City Council should make up its mind
earlier in the process and not change its mind after the process had started. Mr. LeFevere noted
that most takings are under the quick tape process, but there is still authority in the law to acquire
contaminated property under eminent domain. It is thought the biggest risk in the eminent
domain process is finding contamination after 90 days and the developer then backing out, but
the City is required to continue the process and purchase a property it no longer wanted. In most
cases where eminent domain would be considered, it would be vacant, blighted, or commercial
property not involving a private residential property owner. Mr. LeFevere stated he will bring up
these issues to the Charter Commission for further discussion.
The City Council indicated it would welcome that discussion and noted another concern is
05/29/12 -2- DRAFT
imposing administrative standards into the City's Charter since State law already addresses
protection of property owners.
Mr. LeFevere asked the City Council if it was willing to consider a Charter amendment relating
to eminent domain that was more limited in scope and allowed the City to withdraw from an
action under certain circumstances. This would create a "middle ground" to protect the
landowner and still address the City Council's concern to be able to abandon the process under
certain circumstances and protect the City's resources.
The City Council discussed this option and consensus was reached to have Mr. LeFevere present
a "hybrid option" that would protect both property,owners and the City. It was noted the City
Council had two weeks to act on the proposed eminent domain Charter amendment.
The City Council next discussed the potential consideration by the Charter Commission of a
ward system. Mr. LeFevere advised of several metropolitan cities that have a ward system,
noting they are usually larger in size than Brooklyn Center. He indicated there are pros and cons
to a ward system so it is important to hold a full dialogue. Mr. LeFevere raised another option to
blend an at-large and ward system by having several at-large Councilmembers in addition to
several wards.
The City Council concurred that a key component for a ward system is the size of the city,noting
the at-large system has worked well in Brooklyn Center because of its small size. It was agreed
that additional dialogue was needed and both sides (pros and cons) thoroughly presented to
assure an informed decision is made.
The consensus of the City Council was to ask Mr. LeFevere to present the Charter Commission
with potential consequences, unintended and intended, that might come forth under a ward
system.

9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS
9a. PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2012-004 SUBMITTED BY THE
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER
Planning and Zoning Specialist Tim Benetti provided an overview of Planning Commission
Application No. 2012-004 submitted by the City of Brooklyn Center for an amendment to the
2030 Comprehensive Plan by changing a "PS-Public and Semi-Public" and "MF-Multi-Family
(High Density)" land use designation to "MF-Mixed Enhanced (Multi-Family Mixed High
Density Residential with Enhanced Setbacks)" for the property located at 5401-5415 69th
Avenue North (Maranatha Homes Care Center property). Mr. Benetti advised the Planning
Commission recommended approval of the application at its May 17, 2012, meeting and
described requested action before the City Council.
Mr. Benetti answered questions of the City Council regarding Presbyterian Home's support to
include language in the PUD agreement requiring this property to remain senior housing. It was
noted that in the future, should the property owner decide to go to market rate or affordable
housing multi-family, it would require a PUD amendment and new Public Hearing.
05/29/12 -4- DRAFT
i
Mayor Willson noted that during Open Forum, comments had been made toward this agenda
item. He asked the City Council if it would support opening public comment to hear from those
citizens.
Mr. LeFevere advised that State law requires only one Public Hearing for Comprehensive Plan
amendments or rezoning so, to not create confusion and since published notice has not occurred,
the consideration before the City Council is whether to open the floor for public comment
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the floor for public
comment.
Motion passed unanimously.
Randy Christensen, 7001 Regent Avenue N., stated he found this process to be confusing. He
indicated that while he supports enhanced multi-family to create a larger setback to single-family
homes, the applicant can still request a change to the PUD agreement and it is difficult for
residents to go through this process again and again. Mr. Christensen stated his concerns include
the impact of a four-story building, loss of sunlight, and asked the City Council to uphold past
promises to assure a larger setback so it does not impact residents.
It was noted the proposal has been revised and the scale of the building reduced.
Mr. Christensen indicated the original proposal was for a 38-unit, 4-story building with
underground parking. The proposal is now for a 2.5-story building with underground parking
but the roof is still peaked so it will be 50 feet in height, taller than the first phase of apartments
in Brooklyn Park. He again stated he liked the enhanced setback but felt it was still difficult to
see any positives for this little neighborhood if this project is constructed 100 feet from their
back yard. In addition, the parking ramp now points towards residential homes.
Mr. Benetti explained the parking ramp component will be addressed as part of the rezoning
consideration, not the land use amendment.
Councilmember Ryan stated he appreciates the fact this is a complex process dictated by law and
he wanted the opportunity for residents to express their opinion. He indicated other issues raised
will be addressed in presentations by staff.
Arvid Sorenson, 6901 Toledo Avenue N., stated he can see the parking lot of Maranatha from his
front door. He pointed out that residents knew when they bought their property that this property
was zoned R1 and R6. It was not zoned PUD-MIXED R5/R6. However, now an applicant is
asking for a Comprehensive Plan change because it impedes their development. Mr. Sorenson
stated his belief that R1 property will lose value if adjacent to a PUD MIXED R5/R6 zoning
district. He reiterated that when he bought his property, it was next to R1 zoned property and the
western side was a golf course and is now twin homes. The property north, east, and south was
R1 and he wanted it to stay Rl.
05/29/12 -5- DRAFT
Mr. Christensen submitted a letter from his father, Ray Christensen of 6803 Toledo Avenue N., a
47-year resident, detailing his concerns and objections to the proposed project.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the floor for public
comment.
Motion passed unanimously.
Councilmember Ryan asked Mr. LeFevere to address resident's comments that the process is
confusing.
Mr. LeFevere advised that ordinances require two readings prior to adoption. In this case, it
accomplishes getting all of the information because second reading and the development plan
will be considered at the same meeting. He indicated State law requires a Public Hearing on
Comprehensive Plan amendments, which was noticed and held by the Planning Commission. At
that meeting, the public had an opportunity to comment as well as the opportunity to comment
tonight. The Comprehensive Plan is the general framework for City development and
effectuated through adoption of ordinances and controls. A PUD is specific to a plan, not a
category of uses, and can be very restrictive. In most cases, Brooklyn Center has locked in the
land uses, building layout, front elevation, and landscape plan beyond what normal zoning could
accomplish. The Planning Commission, at the same time, will consider the development plan
that must be approved or the PUD will not move forward. Mr. LeFevere recapped that the
Planning Commission held the Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Plan amendment and the
City Council will hold a Public Hearing on the rezoning along with consideration of the
development agreement.
Mr. Benetti noted this land use amendment includes a condition so if the Council does not accept
the rezoning, the land use goes away as well. In addition, the Metropolitan Council will review
the Comprehensive Plan amendment. Typically when adding more housing into land use
elements, the Metropolitan Council looks at it favorably. Mr. LeFevere advised the Metropolitan
Council looks at the extent to which this proposed amendment is consistent with its system plans
to assure there is no conflict.
The Council acknowledged it has very strict and specific requirements to consider for this type
of change. It was noted there is a strong need for senior housing and care centers to be expanded
and redeveloped, as identified by the Metropolitan Council, so this type of proposal would
address a broad public purpose that is evident.

Amendment to the Metropolitan Council,
Councilmember Myszkowski stated she will support this first step; however, has some difficulty
with this application. She asked whether the peaked roofs are functional or decorative. Mr.
Benetti explained peaked roofs usually serve purposes (function and decorative element).
Councilmember Myszkowski asked about effect of sun exposure into properties. Mr. Benetti
stated it will vary throughout the year and be addressed during the rezoning element. He stated it
is hoped that the enhanced setbacks will increase sunlight throughout the day.
Motion passed unanimously.

Application No. 2012-003 submitted by Maranatha Conservative Baptist Home, Inc. for rezoning
of property located at 5401-5415 691h Avenue North, from R1 (One Family Residence) and R6
(Multiple Family Residence) to New PUD-MIXED R5/R6 (Planned Unit Development-Mixed
Multiple Family Residence). Mr. Benetti advised the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the application at its May 17, 2012, meeting and described the action items before
the City Council at tonight's meeting.
As to the comment that the process is difficult because things keep changing, Mr. Benetti
confirmed it was a result of adjusting plans to address resident's and staff's comments. He noted
that buffers and landscaping were added that were not required and staff had warned
Presbyterian Homes that it will be a difficult process should they want to make any changes in
the future.
The City Council expressed its appreciation to Maranatha Conservative Baptist Home for being
responsive to resident's concerns by revising its building design from 4.5 stories to 2.5 stories.

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

10e. APPROVAL/ADOPTION OF RECOMMENDATION OF USE OF CENTENNIAL
PARK WEST FOR COMMUNITY GARDEN
The City Council asked staff to address comments received relating to standing water in Central
Park and perimeter fencing.
Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel introduced the item and reviewed previous
Council consideration to locate garden plots on park land and preference to first consider
Centennial Park West. He indicated the garden plot fencing would match the Earle Brown
Heritage Center board fence with chicken wire inside. A neighborhood meeting was held on
May 22, 2012, and the Park and Recreation Commission and Housing Commission recommend
proceeding with the West Centennial Park with 18 garden plots. They also made
recommendation to rescind the motion on the Happy Hollow Park site and to continue
monitoring park usage of that site.
Mr. Eitel presented slides depicting West Central Park and described the standing water
conditions as a result of four inches of rain received May 23, 2012. He noted areas of wet soils
and that the garden plot site remained dry.
05/29/12 -10- DRAFT
i
Mayor Willson asked if plant roots in the garden plot would be too wet. Mr. Eitel explained it is
surface water, not creek or ground water, and the garden plot area can be moved to the east and
south. He described the corrective action taken to address flooding and species of plantings that
can be grown throughout the summer season.
The City Council discussed the park condition and areas of standing water, noting it may be
possible to fill some areas of depression where water is ponding. Mr. Eitel stated he met with the
Director of Public Works and City Manager to discuss options and assure it does not increase
flood hazard to other locations. He explained that since this is within the 100-year flood plain,
only 400 square feet can be filled.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Kleven seconded to approve/adopt
recommendation by the Park and Recreation Commission and Housing Commission for the use
of Centennial Park West for the 2012 Community Garden Program.
The Council thanked the Chairs of the Park and Recreation Commission and Housing
Commission, volunteer Commissioners, and staff for their work towards this effort.
Motion passed unanimously.

MISCELLANEOUS
I
INCLUSIVENESS AND DIVERSITY—MAYOR/PRESIDENT WILLSON
Mayor/President Willson indicated this item was scheduled for but not addressed at tonight's
Study Session. He introduced the topic and explained that a constitutional marriage amendment
has been proposed by the Legislature. He noted a constituent has raised the issue that if the City
is going to continue to celebrate diversity and inclusiveness, it should consider going on record
as opposing the marriage amendment to the State of Minnesota Constitution. Mayor/President
Willson stated he thinks what is more paramount is the fact that it is being considered to put this
legislation into the Constitution, a document used more for how the State is organized and
operates.
Councilmember/Commissioner Kleven stated she was not approached by a constituent about this
nor was she ambivalent on this issue. She stated that while she loved them dearly and supports
civil rights, if it came to a vote she would follow her religious beliefs, which is against same-sex
marriage.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan noted the City Council/EDA has put forward resolutions in
the past on items not strictly subject to its jurisdiction that state the will for the City
Council/EDA or position on an issue. He also asked why this should be a constitutional
amendment since there are specifics in State law that do not allow same-sex marriage.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan stated he thinks the real issue ought to be how can the State
protect the civil rights of all people. He indicated that while he would oppose a State
05/29/12 -1- DRAFT
i
constitutional amendment, out of respect for people with religious objections to allowing same-
sex marriage, he would favor changing Statute to allow for domestic partnerships. This option
would allow authority and privileges marriage partnership enjoy when a spouse is disabled,
during life threatening or termination of life issues, which is currently denied to individuals in
committed same-sex relationships.
Councilmember/Commissioner Myszkowski stated she is perplexed by how it is okay for a
majority to deny a right others have enjoyed. She stated if the City is truly inclusive, that means
for everybody including respect for all who abide by religious teachings that are not comfortable
with same-sex marriage. Councilmember/Commissioner Myszkowski stated she grew up in a j
conservative religious family but found that too many friends have had to go to other states to
marry. She stated she stands opposed to this amendment, noting these constituents have been
assets to their communities.
Mayor/President Willson stated he believed the State should not legislate what people do in the
privacy of their homes or choose as a life style. Mayor/President Willson stated he would lobby
hard for the City to go on record to oppose a referendum for adding same-sex marriage to the
Constitution on grounds of excluding part of our population from the Constitution and because
the Constitution is not the proper place for such an amendment.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lasman noted the City Council/EDA has taken stands on items it
does not legislate and philosophically weighed in; however, those issues pertained to the well
being of all our citizens. In this case, the issue involves a personal choice and there are residents
on opposite ends and in between. Councilmember/Commissioner Lasman noted that while all
have feelings on this issue, she is not sure a representative body of local government should draft
legislation on this sensitive item.
The City Council/EDA continued its discussion of the proposed marriage amendment to the
State's Constitution and noted it has already legislated the fact that Brooklyn Center is a diverse
community, striving to be inclusive and include all residents. It was agreed that all couples
should have the same rights for filing of taxes and business-like benefits as a traditional married
couple.
The consensus of the City Council/EDA was to continue consideration to the June 11, 2012,
Study Session.
COUNCIL SALARIES—FINANCIAL COMMISSION
Mayor/President Willson advised that a sitting City Council cannot decide its own salaries while
serving in office, but during an election year the City Council can consider a recommendation of
the Financial Commission relating to salaries. He presented the consideration of the Financial
Commission and its unanimous recommendation that salaries for the Mayor/President and City
Council increase 3.0% for 2013 and 3.0% for 2014.
Councilmembers/Commissioners Lasman, Ryan, and Kleven, as well as Mayor/President
Willson spoke in support of the recommendation, noting the City Council's/EDA's salary has
05/29/12 -2- DRAFT
I
been at the same level for four years, which was justifiable due to the downturn in the economy
and requests that staff not take a salary increase. However, it is now appropriate to consider a
modest increase since the economy is showing an upturn. It was noted the City has a$16 million
budget and the recommended increase would result in a total difference of$2,763.
Councilmember/Commissioner Myszkowski agreed the City can afford to give this raise;
however, she was reluctant to support the recommendation in consideration of the City's many
residents who are unemployed or under employed.
The City Council/EDA discussed its commitment to serve the City and the number of meetings/
events members attend on the City's behalf,the costs of which continually increase.
Councilmember/Commissioner Myszkowski stated she will support the recommendation with
the thought she has the option to donate the increase, if desired.
The consensus of the City Council/EDA was to accept the Financial Commission's
recommendation relating to a 3.0% increase in Mayor/President and City Council salaries for
2013 and 2014.
FIREHOUSE PARK
Director of Community Activities, Recreation and Services Jim Glasoe introduced the item and
reviewed the history of incidents at Firehouse Park and removal of basketball hoops as a result of
multiple incidents. He reviewed the Council's past consideration and determination to reinstall
one basketball hoop and direction for staff to continue to monitor activity at the Park. In 2010,
the City Council/EDA revisited the issue and asked the Park and Recreation Commission to look
at possible relocation of the court to other areas of the park and/or the Brooklyn Center High
School property. However, it would cost$8,000 to $12,000 to relocate the court, so the Park and
Recreation Commission asked staff to obtain quotes to install a camera on the East Fire Station
to allow monitoring of the Park. Mr. Glasoe reported Police Chief Benner is a proponent of
cameras but cautioned there would not be someone available to monitor this camera on a regular
basis so it would be more of an after-the-fact monitoring. In addition, Police Chief Benner cited
other higher priority locations to monitor than Firehouse Park. Mr. Glasoe advised of the
number of service calls per month relating to Firehouse Park and indicated staff does not feel
current activities or calls for service justify moving the basketball court. Staff recommended
continued monitoring of activity and requested City Council/EDA input.
The City Council/EDA discussed whether the basketball court should remain a half-court or be
expanded to a full court.
Mayor/President Willson spoke in support of expanding to a full basketball court because he
believed the problem identified early on had been addressed on a permanent basis by the Police
Department increasing patrols and park patrols. He noted it is a detriment to individuals who
enjoy basketball to not have a full court.
05/29/12 -3- DRAFT
With regard to the number of calls for service for Firehouse Park, Mr. Glasoe advised the crime
analyst indicated whereas the average may be lower at other parks, this number is consistent with
destination parks. He also advised that nuisance activity such as tipping over benches or garbage
cans is not unique to this park.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lasman stated that while she understands it is more fun to have a
full court, it brings in larger and older crowds to play basketball and results in nuisance issues.
Therefore, she supported retaining the half basketball court.
Councilmember/Commissioner Ryan voiced support to retain the half basketball court and
continue patrols, which were found to reduce calls for service. He asked about the option of
relocating the basketball court to Brooklyn Center High School's detached athletic facility. Mr.
Glasoe explained an outdoor basketball court was inserted into the plan as a placeholder to allow
for potential relocation from Firehouse Park but there was no intent by the School District to
construct that court at the current time.
Councilmember/Commissioner Kleven supported retaining the half basketball court and asked if
the camera can be used to revisit the scene should a serious incident occur. Mr. Glasoe
responded the camera would be tied into the central system so the activity could be recalled for a
period of time, about 30 days.
Councilmember/Commissioner Myszkowski asked if there are similar incidents at parks with full
basketball courts. Mr. Glasoe answered in the affirmative, noting it is oftentimes cyclical and
also involves baseball fields and football fields.
Councilmember/Commissioner Myszkowski asked if a larger court would draw a different
element. Mr. Glasoe indicated a full court heightens the level of competition. Councilmember/
Commissioner Myszkowski stated support to retain the half basketball court.
Arvid Sorenson, Park and Recreation Commission Chair, explained the Commission had made
the recommendation for a camera to open the basketball court to full size. He noted the cost to
relocate the court is $10,000 and the cost for a camera is $5,000. Mr. Sorensen noted the Willow
Lane court is a single hoop and directly adjacent to a house but at Firehouse Park the basketball
court is about 35 feet from the residential property. It was the goal of the Park and Recreation
Commission to reopen the full basketball court.
Councilmember/Commissioner Lasman stated she understands this desire and respects the work
of the Park and Recreation Commission; however, it is not just an issue with distance from
residences but problems with noise, drinking, garbage, and nuisance from large numbers of
adults coming to play and that activity spilling out to other areas of the park. She noted children
are happy with a half court and that is who she wants to assure is served by the parks.
Mayor/President Willson stated he does not think it is the full court that is the problem but the
people using it and enforcement issue.
05/29/12 -4- DRAFT
The majority consensus of the City Council/EDA was to not expand the half basketball court and
direct staff to continue patrol/monitoring activity at Firehouse Park.
The City Council/EDA discussed the feasibility of installing a camera and consensus was
reached that the price could not be justified given the fact it would not be monitored, the Police
Station is at a distance, and even on zoom, the camera would provide only a broad image.

TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Sharon Knutson, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Application and Permit for Temporary On-Sale Liquor License Submitted by Our
Lady of Fatima& St. Francis High Schools Alumni Association
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider approval of the application and permit for
temporary on-sale liquor license submitted by Our Lady of Fatima & St. Francis High Schools
Alumni Association, for an event to be held at MEC (Miracle Empowerment Center), 5801 John
Martin Drive, on July 7, 2012.
Background:
On April 19, 2012, Isaac Russell, representing Our Lady of Fatima & St. Francis Alumni

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 5, 2012
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Steve Lillehaug, Director of Public Works/City Engineer 5.51
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Designation of Easements for Shingle Creek Regional
Trail Realignment Project
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider approval of a resolution authorizing
designation of easements for the Shingle Creels Regional Trail Realignment Project.
Background:
On August 27, 2009, the City of Brooklyn Center and the Three Rivers Park District executed a
Trailway Cooperative Agreement for the Shingle Creek and Twin Lake Regional Trails in
Brooklyn Center that transferred ownership of those trails to the Park District, As part of the
Park District's commitment to the City, the Park District is proceeding with a project to improve
a segment of the Shingle Creek Regional Trail from County Road 10 to I-94 (see General
Location Map Figure 1).
The Park District's plan includes the reconstruction of the north segment of trail through
Centennial Park, generally in the same location as it exists. The southerly segment of trail has
historically experienced flooding issues and is planned to be realigned outside of the floodplain
(see Proposed Project Figures 1-3). As a result of the proposed realignment, wetland impacts will
be experienced that are required to be mitigated (see Wetlands Impacts and Mitigation Figures 1-
3). The proposed mitigation area is located in an area along Shingle Creek where a portion of the
existing trail exists and is planned to be removed.
Realigning the trail requires the City to update and provide easements for those relocated
portions of new trail (see attached easements and exhibits for trail segments SC-4A, SC-41) and
SC-5). These new easements will replace the prior easements granted as part of the 2009
Trailway Cooperative Agreement. The existing easements for the old trail will then need to be
vacated—this will be done once the proposed project is complete.
The existing trail along the creek will then fall back under the jurisdiction of the City. Due to the
poor shape and frequent flooding of the existing southerly segment of trail, City staff proposes to
convert that portion of existing trail to a nature trail in the fixture. The City would reclaim (grind)
the existing trail in place and convert it to a wood-chipped trail. The second parallel trail that is
located in certain locations would be permanently removed and converted to turf and/or native
plantings.
The City Attorney has reviewed all easement documents and concurs to the purpose and form of
the easements.
Mission:Ensuring an attractive,cleeue,surf e, inchrsive conanrrnrity thus enhances the rlualiti,o/life
for fill people and preserves the public trust
COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
Budget Issues:
City resources will be used to create and record updated trailway easements within the current
constraints of the 2012 budget and staff workload. Future City resources will be needed to
convert the existing trail to a wood-chipped nature trail. Reclaiming the trail will cost
approximately $5,000 and would be programmed in a future year operating budget. Wood chips
that are anticipated to be generated from the City's planned 2013 neighborhood reconstruction
project are proposed to be used and would be installed by and with City staff and equipment. All
easements are being dedicated at no cost by the City of Brooklyn Center.
Council Goals:
Strategic:
7. We will continue to maintain the city's infrastructure improvements
Ongoing:
1. We will provide streamlined, cost effective, quality services with limited resources
Mission:Ensuring nn attractive, clean,safe, inclusive conanurnity that enhances the quality of lift
fir-alt people and preserves the public trust

TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
vp
FROM: Vickie Schleuning, Assistant City Manager/Director of Building& Community
Standards
SUBJECT: Resolution Declaring a Public Nuisance and Ordering the Removal of Diseased
Trees
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council declare a public nuisance and order the removal of
diseased trees for certain properties as listed in the resolution.
Background:
The attached resolution represents the official Council action required to expedite removal of
diseased trees that were recently marked by the city tree inspector. The City of Brooklyn Center
has maintained a policy of removing and properly disposing of diseased trees in order to prevent
tree diseases from spreading throughout the community. The removal of diseased trees is
defined in City Ordinance Chapter 20-301to 20-306. Although the City has historically focused
on Dutch Elm disease, other transmissible diseases and infestations are addressed as well.
Property owners are given the opportunity to remove the diseased tree on their own or enter an
agreement to allow the city to remove the diseased tree. Where an agreement with the property
owner is executed, a minimal administrative charge of$50 is applied to the costs associated with
the tree removal.
After a diseased tree is declared a public nuisance by the City Council, another Compliance
Notice will be provided to the property owner allowing additional time, at least five days, for
voluntary correction, again providing an option for an agreement with the City. If the property
owner does not correct the violation or enter into an agreement, the City will remove the
diseased tree. An administrative abatement service charge will be charged based on the cost of
the abatement, with a minimum charge of$150.
Budget Issues:
The City's share of the cost of removal for diseased trees within the public right-of-way and on
City property is included in the 2012 budget under the Public Works Forestry operating budget.
The cost of removal for diseased trees located on private property is the responsibility of the
respective property owner, and if unpaid, is specially assessed to the property.

SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the exchange of one personal floating holiday for the
Monday preceding the 2012 Christmas Day Holiday for City employees
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider approval of a resolution authorizing the
exchange of one personal floating holiday for the Monday preceding the 2012 Christmas Day
Holiday for City employees.
Background:
Section 7.1 states two personal floating holidays are available each year to City employees to be
taken at the employee's discretion.
Since the 2012 Christmas Day holiday falls on a Tuesday, employees have requested that they be
allowed to exchange one personal floating holiday for the Monday preceding the 2012 Christmas
Day holiday. Historically, city offices are closed at Noon on December 24. Employees who are
working are required to use vacation or other approved leave time for the afternoon.
The City surveyed City employees asking if they would be interested in using a personal floating
holiday on Monday, December 24, 2012 so that City offices could be closed all day. 71% of
employees responded yes.
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the exchange of one personal floating holiday
for the Monday preceding the 2012 Christmas Day holiday for City employees for 2012 only.

SUBJECT: Resolution Declaring the City of Brooklyn Center's Participation in the State
Performance Measurement System For 2012
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council consider adoption of a resolution declaring the City of
Brooklyn Center's participation in the State Performance Measurement System for 2012.
Background:
In 2010, the Minnesota Legislature created the Council on Local Results and Innovation that
developed a set of ten performance measures for cities and counties to measure the efficacy of
basic services provided. The Minnesota State Performance Measurement System is voluntary.
However, cities and counties that choose to participate in the new standards measure program
may be eligible for a reimbursement in Local Government Aid (LGA) of$0.14 per capita and
exemption from levy limits.
Cities and counties could choose to follow the standard ten performance measures established by
the Council on Local Results and Innovation or submit their own for consideration of approval
by the State. Since the City of Brooklyn Center had existing goals and measures that met or
exceeded the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Sections 6.90 and 6.91 Local Performance
Measurement and Reporting,they were submitted and approved by the State in June of 2011.
The Minnesota State Performance Measurement System requires annual reporting. In order to
receive the per capita reimbursement in 2012 and levy limit exemption for calendar year 2013,
the city must file a report with the Office of the State Auditor by July 1, 2012. This report must
include:
1) A resolution approved by the city council declaring that:
• The city has adopted and implemented the minimum 10 performance measures
developed by the Council on Local Results and Innovation(PDF format).
• The city has implemented or is in the process of implementing a local performance
measurement system as developed or approved by the Council on Local Results and
Innovation(PDF format).
• The city has or will report the results of the adopted measures to its residents before
the end of the calendar year through publication, direct mailing, posting on the
Mission:Ensuring an attractive,clean,safe,inclusive community that enhances the quality of life
for all people and preserves the public trust

entity's website, or through a public hearing at which the budget and levy will be
discussed and public input allowed (PDF format).
• The city has or will survey its residents by the end of the calendar year on the services
included in the performance benchmarks (PDF format).
2) The actual results of the performance measures adopted by the city (PDF format) since
we were certified for the program in 2011.
The following actions have bee n or will bet ken to meet program requirements:
1. The resolution is attached for Council consideration. The City Council adopted the goals
and measures by resolution on March 26, 2012.
2. A copy of the goals and measures document will be available on the city website for
review.
3. Residents are surveyed at the Neighborhood Area Meetings for certain measures. In
addition, an online survey will be available on the City website. Other survey options are
being reviewed for future consideration.
4. A copy of the actual results will be sent to the Office of the State Auditor with the report.
Budget Issues:
The City will receive approximately $4,200 in Local Government Aid and any levy limit
exemption limits under Minnesota Statutes Sections 275.70 to 275.74 for participating in the
Performance Measurement Program.

FROM: Daniel Jordet,Director of Fiscal& Support Services
SUBJECT: 2011 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report(CA
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution accepting the 2011
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Background: On Monday evening,4 June 2012,the City Council and Financial Commission met in a
joint working session to hear from James Eichten of Malloy,Montague,Karnowski,Radosevich&Co.,
the City's auditors,about the results of their audit of the City's financial statements for the period ended
31 December 2011. This assembly of financial statements and data is known as the 2011 Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report or 2011 CAFR. During the session Mr. Eichten reviewed the purpose of the
audit process and the results of his firm's work on the 2011 CAFR audit.
Most importantly,the City received an unqualified opinion on the presentation of the 2011 financial
information,also known as a clean opinion. This indicates that the accounting and reporting systems for
the City conform in all material aspects to the regulations and practices of the Government Finance
Officers Association,the Government Accounting Standards Board, and generally accepted accounting
principles.
Supplemental opinions on Legal Compliance with State of Minnesota regulations and Internal Control
and Operational issues indicated that there was an issue to be addressed on timeliness of invoice
payments. By State law, all invoices must be paid within 35 days of receipt of invoice or service. One of
the invoices sampled exceeded this requirement and should have been paid with an additional 1.5%as a
self-imposed penalty.
The City also received more than$ 500,000 in Federal financial assistance during 2011. This triggers an
additional audit procedure known as the A-133 or Single Audit. It looks for proper receipt, use,recording
and reporting on federal financial assistance. The City's awards were for public safety programs through
the U.S. Department of Justice, CDBG Rinds used for local assistance and code enforcement activities,
and grants to assist in energy conservation activities under the ARRA. In total,the City received
$ 879,556 in Federal funding for 2011. During the audit procedures,the City was cited for not disbursing
the Public Safety Partnership funds to the Brooklyn Center School District within 10 days of receipt and
for not assuring the filing of quarterly reports on the Public Safety Partnership funds.
Overall,the information in the 2011 CAFR reveals a City in good financial condition that should continue
to monitor itself to insure its continued fiscal responsibility. The attached resolution ratifies the work
done by City staff and accepts the CAFR,Audit Opinion, and related materials.
Budget Issues: The information from the 2011 CAFR will be used in preparing forecasts and projects for
future budgets. However,the 2011 CAFR has no direct impact on the budget.
Council Goals:
2. We will ensure the financial stability of the City
Mission:Ensuring an attractive,clean,safe,inchisive community that enhances the quality of life
for all people and preserves the public trust

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the City Council and Residents
City of Brooklyn Center,Minnesota
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities,the business-type
activities,each major fund•and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Brooklyn Center
(the City)as of and for the year ended December 31.2010,which collectively comprise the City's basic
financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the City's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly,we
express no such opinion. An audit includes examining.on a test basis,evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management,as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects•the
respective financial position of the governmental activities.the business-type activities,each major fund.
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of Dccemher 31.2010.and the respective
changes in financial position and cash Flow., where applicable thereof. for the year then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Starulardr,we have also issued a report dated May 26,2011 on
our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance
with certain provisions of laws,regulations,contracts,grant agreements,and other matters. The purpose
of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over
financial reporting or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

CHARTER COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION REGARDING AMENDMENT
TO CITY CHARTER CHAPTER 9 RELATING TO EMINENT DOMAIN
City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and stated the purpose of
the proposed Charter amendment to include State Statute language relating to use of eminent
domain and place specific limitations on the use of eminent domain. The Charter Commission
recommends adding the definition of"Public Use" or"Public Purpose" and a sentence to Section
9.03, Payment of Award, indicating: "If the award is not paid, the court, on motion of the owner
of the land, shall vacate the award and dismiss the proceedings against the land." The Charter
Commission also recommends adding a sentence to Section 9.04, City May Dismiss
Proceedings, indicating: "The City has a 60 dU period from the initiation by the City Council of
eminent domain to dismiss proceedings unless an extension is stipulated and agreed to by all
parties."
Mr. Boganey advised that subsequent to this language being published, the Charter Commission
met to discuss the concerns expressed by the City Council and considered new language
changing the 60-day period to 90-days and additional language indicating: "The City has a 69 90
day period from the initiation (by resolution) of the City Council of eminent domain to dismiss
proceedings unless an extension is stipulated and agreed to by parties of interest." However, this
new language has not yet been presented as a substitute by the Charter Commission.
Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Kleven seconded to open the Public Hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
Eric Pone, 4747 Twin Lake Avenue N., Vice Chair of the Charter Commission, indicated the
proposed language is in response to events that have occurred, many of which have lead to
legislative action. Mr. Pone presented the move from 60 to 90 days as a compromise to provide
an adequate timeframe for the City Council to discuss, make its decision, and provide speed of
W
action. It was not meant to replace discussion within the City Council or remove its power, but
p Y p
to augment and provide a simplified and defined process. Mr. Pone stated the second change
requires action by resolution, rather than initiation. The third change requires parties of interest
to agree with an extension, which removes the potential for someone to get involved who does
not have an interest in the action. Mr. Pone stated the Charter Commission hopes this is a level
of compromise. He advised there has been some Charter Commission discussion towards a
ballot measure because it feels this is extremely important, it will make the Council's "lives"
easier, and protect the landowners of Brooklyn Center.
Mark Yelich, 6018 Beard Avenue N., Charter Commissioner, commented on the purpose of
eminent domain and modification made by the State Legislature due to misuse. He stated the
Charter Commission favors incorporating those changes into the Charter to protect residents
against Legislatures that may change State Statute. The added language also gives Brooklyn
Center property owners additional recourse should the City not react as required by State Statute.
Mr. Yelich stated in the interest of protecting Brooklyn Center property owners against
potentially disruptive action, the City needs to do its homework prior to proceeding with eminent
i
domain. He thinks residents would be su pp ortive and encouraged the City Council to be
supportive as well and vote to approve the changes recommended.
Robert Marvin, 4711 Twin Lake Avenue N., Charter Commissioner, echoed comments by
Messrs. Pone and Yelich. He indicated the Charter Commission is pretty much unanimous in
supporting the Charter changes.
Councilmember Kleven moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to close the Public
Hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
1. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 9 OF THE BROOKLYN
CENTER CITY CHARTER REGARDING EMINENT DOMAIN
City Attorney LeFevere addressed the three language amendments under consideration and
advised that while revising from a 60 day period to a 90 day period is an improvement and
conforms to the quick take provision in State Statute, it does not change the effect on what the
City can or cannot do on a condemnation if not a quick take action. If beyond 90 days, the City
would not have the option to abandon condemnation actions due to change in circumstances,
such as the property is no longer needed for a roadway, or the condemnation award is too high
and the City decides to not proceed. In those cases where not a quick take, the City would not
have the ability to back out and would be required to proceed unless all parties affected agree to
an extension. Mr. LeFevere noted the second amendment to initiate by resolution is an
improvement so it is known when the 90 days starts to run. He stated the intent of the third
amendment to add "parties of interest" may be to protect the individual land owner; however, it
may enable other parties involved in the action that frustrates the intent of the Charter
Commission. Mr. LeFevere stated he is not sure of the intent of this change but assumes it
means all parties to the legal action of the condemnation that are named in the proceeding.
Mr. Boganey noted there could be parties of interest who are not aligned with the interest of the
landowner. As a result of those interests, the 90-day timeframe could be missed even though the
landowner may be willing to grant an extension. Mr. LeFevere confirmed that could occur and
override the interest of the landowner.
The City Council discussed the proposed Charter amendment and asked questions of City
Attorney LeFevere relating to impacts resulting from including a timeframe in the Charter. Mr.
LeFevere advised that under the proposed amendment, the City can no longer abandon the
process after 90 days and has to acquire the property, even if the award is more expensive than
expected or it is no longer in the public interest to proceed. Currently, if the City Council decides
to not proceed, it is required to pay the landowner's costs and attorney fees. It was noted that
properties requiring environmental remediation often involve extended periods of time to resolve
issues with all governmental agencies.
The City Council stated its appreciation to the Charter Commission for its consideration and
acknowledged that the Legislature has already restricted the use of eminent domain for a worthy
public purpose (acquiring right-of-way for streets/utilities) and it can no longer be used for
economic development. The City Council indicated that while it was reluctant to consider the
use of eminent domain, reservations were expressed with considering a timeframe because it
would"tie the City's hands" and not be the most conservative action for the City.
City Attorney LeFevere explained the first Charter language came to the City Council without
previous dialogue and because the Charter Commission did not withdraw the amendment, the
City was forced to publish notice in the paper and hold a Public Hearing. The new language had
been received on May 11, 2012, in the form of the Charter Commission's meeting minutes but
not presented in a formal manner. Mr. LeFevere advised the City Council can take action on the
original amendment as the Public Hearing has been held and also has the opportunity to provide
comment on the new language that has not yet been formally presented to the City Council.
Mr. Boganey indicated the City Council has 30 days from tonight to act on the original proposal
and sufficient time to place the language on referendum.
Following discussion, the City Council agreed the current Charter language was suitable,
protected the City, and it was-uncomfortable adding time constraint language to the Charter. In
addition, the proposed language mirrors State Statute but should a future Legislative action
change the law, the Charter language would remain and may be more restrictive than State-law.
The Council noted State law governs eminent domain, provisions already exist to protect the
interests of the landowner, and it was unsure what the proposed Charter amendment would "fix"
since no abuses have come forward.
The City Council asked the Charter Commissioners to bring back Councilmember's comments
on the new language and see if they are comfortable changing the language to not include the 90
day time period,which would assure the City's and citizen's best interests are considered.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Kleven seconded to table consideration of
An Ordinance Amending Chapter 9 of the Brooklyn Center City Charter Regarding Eminent
Domain, to provide the Charter Commission an opportunity to have dialog and make a formal
proposal.
Mayor Willson offered a friendly amendment to table to the June 11, 2012, Council meeting.
Councilmembers Lasman and Kleven accepted the friendly amendment.
Motion passed unanimously.
COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 14,2012
TO: City Council
FROM: Curt Boganey, City Man e
SUBJECT: Eminent Domain
Background:
On tonight's agenda there is an item, related to Eminent Domain. On Friday, I received the
attached information from the Charter Commission Secretary. I believe it is the intent of the
Charter Commission to present this information to the City Council as a revision to the proposed
amendment to the City Charter. Perhaps there will be a representative of the Charter Commission
at the meeting to address this issue.
If this language is officially presented to the Council as a new proposed Charter Amendment,
once it is received by the City Council, the clock starts and a new public hearing must be
scheduled.
Alternatively the City Council may choose to accept that language tonight as substitute language
for the original proposed amendment; in which case the Council may vote to approve or
disapprove the new language.
For the amendment to take affect a unanimous vote is required. Failure to approve the proposed
amendment leaves the Charter Commission with the option of making additional revisions that
the full Council will find acceptable, requesting a public referendum or leaving the current
language unchanged.

TO: City Council
FROM: Curt Boganey, City Manage
SUBJECT: Charter Commission Recommendation Regarding Amendment to Chapter 9
Relating to Eminent Domain
An Ordinance Amending Chapter 9 of the Brooklyn Center City
Charter Regarding Eminent Domain
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council open the Public Hearing; take input; close the Public
Hearing; and take action on the ordinance.
Background:
On March 12, 2012, the City Council received a recommendation from the Charter Commission
regarding amending Chapter 9 of the City Charter relating to Eminent Domain. The City Council
requested City Staff to prepare comments with regard to the pros and cons of the proposed
amendment.
On March 26th the City Council reviewed the comments prepared by the City Attorney and
directed that those comments be provided to the Charter Commission for its review and
consideration.
On April 12th the Charter Commission met and emailed a copy of the draft minutes to the City
Clerk on April 17th. A copy of the minutes are attached. On May 1, 1 sent an email to the Charter
Commission Chair asking if he would be presenting the Commission recommendations to the
City Council showing any changes that are being proposed. On May 6th I was notified that the
Chair will not be in attendance at the May 14th meeting and we have not received a revised
recommendation from the Charter Commission.
Based on the draft minutes, it appears that the Charter Commission will be coming forward with
a proposed revision to the language previously submitted to the City Council.
It seems that given the indication fiom the Charter Commission that they are proposing to revise
its recommendation, denial of the proposed ordinance would be in order.
The Council may choose to wait to receive the proposed revisions to the original ordinance and
then act on the new ordinance or the Council may wish to discuss the proposed changes based on
the draft minutes and communicate with the Charter Commission regarding the changes as
described in the minutes before a formal recommendation is made to the City Council.

i
ORDINANCE NO.
(b) The public benefits of economic development, including an increase in tax base,
tax revenues, employment or general economic health, do not by themselves
constitute a public use or a public purpose.
Section 9.02. PROCEEDINGS IN ACQUIRING PROPERTY. The necessity for the taking of
any property by the City shall be determined by the Council and shall be declared by a resolution
which shall describe such property clearly and state the use to which it is to be devoted. In
acquiring property by exercising the power of eminent domain, the City shall proceed according
to the laws of this state, except as otherwise provided in this charter.
Section 9.03. PAYMENT OF AWARD. The City shall, within seventy(70) days after the filing
of the commissioner's report, or in case of an appeal within forty-five (45) days after the final
judgments or stipulations of settlement thereon, pay any award of damages allowed pursuant to

comprise such system may, unless otherwise ordered by the court, be treated together as one
property and an award for the whole property in one lump sum may be made by the

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- DRAFT
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
arties/a envies in a condemnation action would have to be in agreement, which could be a
p g
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.
03/26/12 -10- DRAFT
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 $10,000-$12,000 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.

CHARTERED
MEMORANDUM
Date: March 22,2012
To: Curt Boganey
From: Charles LeFevere
Re: Proposed Amendment to Brooklyn Center City Charter
At the regular City Council meeting of March 12, 2012,the Brooldyn Center Charter Commission
proposed to the City Council an amendment to the City Charter, for adoption by.ordinance. The
City Council requested that staff prepare comments on the proposed amendment for consideration
by the City Council.
The first part of the amendment relates to Charter Section 9.01,which gives the City the authority to .
acquire property. The first sentence of Section 9.01 currently reads "The city may acquire by
purchase, gift, devise, or condemnation, any property, real or personal, corporeal or incorporeal,
either within or without its corporate boundaries, which may be needed by the City for public use or
purpose." The proposed Charter amendment would amend the last clause to read "for a public use
or public purpose". I believe that this would not change the meaning of the Charter but apparently
the Charter Commission felt it was important for purposes of clarification.
The Charter Commission also proposed to add a new subdivision 1 to Section 9.01 which would
define"public use" or"public purpose". The definition is exactly the same(with the exception of a
missing comma) as the definition in state law under Minn. Stat. § 117.025, Subd. 11. This
amendment to the Charter would not change the law relating to acquisition of property by eminent
domain since the provision in state law already controls acquisitions by the City of Brooldyn
Center. Minn. Stat. § 117.012, Subd. 1 provides that "Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
including -any charter provision, ordinance, statute, or special law, all condemning authorities,
including home rule charter cities, and all other political subdivisions of the state,must exercise the
power of eminent domain in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, including all
procedures, definitions, remedies, and limitations. Additional procedures, remedies, or limitations
that do not deny or diminish the substantive and procedural rights and protections of owners under
this chapter may be provided by other law, ordinance, or charter."
400441v1 CLL BR291-7 1
Subdivision 2 of the same section provides that"Eminent domain may only be used for a public use
or public purpose." State law mandates that acquisition of properly by eminent domain can only be
for a public use or public purpose, as that term is defined in Minnesota Statutes. Therefore,it is not
necessary to make the change proposed to Section 9.01, since state law has already made that
change, and specifically supersedes any inconsistent charter provisions. However, it is also true
that, because state law already mandates this change, the change will have no adverse effect on the
City and its authority to acquire property, at least as long as the state law remains the same as it is
now.
The second change proposed in the Charter amendment would add a sentence to Section 9.03.
Section 9.03 currently provides a deadline within which the City must pay a condemnation award
determined in accordance with the procedures of state law. That deadline is either 70 days after the
filing of a commissioners' report or 45 days after the final judgment, whichever applies. As it
currently stands, if the City failed to make such a payment, the condemnee could seek an order of
the Court to pay the award. The proposed Charter amendment would add a sentence providing that
"If the award is not paid the court on motion of the owner of the land, shall vacate the award and
dismiss the proceedings against the land."
The City,of course, could avoid leaving the condemnation dismissed by paying the award within the
time deadline. However, if, due to any administrative error or mistake, the City failed to make
timely payment in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.03,the Charter amendment would
provide for dismissal of the proceedings. This would mean that, if the City still wanted the land, it
would have to start over with a new condemnation proceeding, which would not necessarily be in
the interest of the taxpayers.
The proposed change to the Charter that could have the greatest effect on the City is a proposed
amendment to Section 9.04. Under the current language of 9.04,the City has the ability to dismiss a
condemnation action. However, if the City decides to abandon a condemnation,for any reason,the
City is required by Section 9.04 to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the
condemnee, including attorneys' fees. This provision was apparently intended to reimburse the
landowner for costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred as a result of the eminent domain
proceedings.
The proposed Charter amendment would add a sentence to Section 9.04 providing that "The city
has a 60 day period from the initiation by the city council of eminent domain to dismiss proceedings
unless an extension is stipulated and agreed to by all parties."
1
I see three potential issues with this proposed amendment. The first is that "The initiation by the
city council of eminent domain" is not a legally defined event. There are a number of steps taken
by the City Council and the City in the initiation of eminent domain proceedings, and without
specifying which step is intended to start the 60 day period running, there could be confusion about
when the 60 day deadline expires.
The second issue is that the proceeding is dismissed unless"an extension is stipulated and agreed to
by all parties." There may be many parties to a condemnation proceeding,including all parties who
have an interest in the property. The primary party in interest is usually the landowner. However,
mortgagees, easement holders,tenants, and others may also be named in a condemnation action. It
400441v1 CLL BR291-7 2
could occur that a landowner was willing to grant an extension (that is, the landowner wished to
agree with the city abandoning the condemnation), but an easement holder or a mortgagee, might
not be willing to consent. Therefore, if the intent of this amendment is to provide some protection
to the landowner,that could be frustrated by any other parry to the condemnation who did not wish
to allow the dismissal.
The third issue is the one that could have the greatest potential impact on the City's taxpayers.
Under current law, if the City decides not to proceed with a condemnation action because
circumstances have changed, it can abandon the action without paying the award or acquiring the
property,provided that it pays the condemnee all of the condemnee's costs and attorneys' fees. The
change in circumstances might be,for example, a case where the property was no longer needed for
the original public purpose. This change in circumstances might not occur within 60 days. If it
occurred after 60 days, and the landowner was not willing to allow the city to abandon the
proceedings, the city would be required to complete the proceedings, acquire the property, and pay
the landowner, even though the property was no longer needed for public purposes. This
acquisition would be paid for by taxpayer dollars.
Another reason for abandoning a condemnation action is that the condemnation award, determined
by the commissioners or the court, is'so much higher than the estimated cost, that the city. decides
the cost is not justified by the public benefit of acquiring the property. The City Council might
decide, in such a case; that the expenditure of tax dollars for acquiring the property could not be
justified. If the proposed Charter amendment were adopted, the City Council would not have the
ability to protect the taxpayers' dollars in this way.
I assume that the purpose of the proposed addition to Section 9.04 is to provide some additional
protection to the landowner. In most cases today,this additional protection may not be needed. The
2006 amendments to the law relating to condemnation so severely restricted the ability of public
authorities to condemn land that the great majority of condemnations now are for simple projects
like streets, road widening, utility easements, and the like. In these cases, acquiring authorities
typically use the so-called "quick-take" procedure provided by Minn. Stat. § 117.042. Under.this
quick-take procedure,the acquiring authority does not have to wait to acquire title and possession to
the property until all of the legal proceedings relating to the condemnation have been exhausted.
Rather,the acquiring authority can take title and possession to the property 90 days after notification
to the property owner of intent to take title in this way. Before taking title and possession,the City
is required to pay to the owner, or deposit into court, an amount equal to the acquiring authority's
approved appraisal of value.
Once title and possession is transferred. (which usually occurs at around 90 days), the title to the
land or interest in the land is owned by the City, and the final determination of the amount paid to
the condemnee is made at a later date, when the condemnation procedures are finalized. Once title
and possession is transferred, the City is no longer free to abandon the condemnation proceedings.
Therefore, in all such cases involving quick-take, the condemnee has the same protection as that
which would be given to the landowner under the proposed amendment, although the City's ability
to abandon the procedure would end after 90 days rather than after 60 days.

recommendation.
City Attorney LeFevere advised that by Roberts Rules of Order, a motion to table would
necessitate a later motion to bring the item off the table. Other options were to reschedule
consideration to a future meeting or direct staff to bring the item back when the Charter
Commission can be represented at a meeting.
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to amend the motion to
table to strike this item from the agenda and direct City staff to reschedule at the request of the

Mr. Fields stated his appreciation for the City and indicated he has been impressed with the spirit.
of excellence that is fostered by Brooklyn Center. The City Council and audience responded
with a round of applause.
7a. CHARTER COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION—CONTINUED
The City Council recognized the attendance of Charter Commission Chair Leino and reached
consensus to hear the Charter Commission's recommendation.
Stan Leino, Charter Commission Chair,presented the proposed language to Chapter 9 of the City
Charter relating to eminent domain, which had been unanimously approved by the Charter
Commission. He explained the position of the Charter Commission that the eminent domain
process had not been addressed for years and the recommended revision would bring the
language into alignment with State Statute. In addition, the recommendation includes a 60-day
p rovision so the eminent domain proceedings could not go on indefinitely.
City Attorney LeFevere advised that currently if the City were to initiate an eminent domain
proceedings and then decide to withdraw, the City is able to stop the process and pay the costs
and attorney's fees for'the property owner. However, with the proposed 60-day provision,
should the City initiate an.eminent domain action and then decide to withdraw, it would be
forced to go forward with the condemnation award, even if the public benefit is not great enough
to justify the award. Under that scenario,the landlord is not likely to grant the City an extension.
Another concern is that most times the eminent domain process cannot be completed within 60
days.
Mr. Leino reported that some Charter Commissioners wanted the window to be smaller than 60
days and the most expansive interpretation was 120 days. He indicated if the City Council has a
reservation about any specific number, it can be explored.
City Attorney LeFevere described the two options the Charter Commission can bring forward a
proposed amendment.
03/12/12 -4-
The City Council thanked Chair Leino and members of the Charter Commission for their
excellent service. It was noted that in the case of eminent domain, State law already restricts
what the City can do. The question was raised why it is necessary for the Charter to reflect every
change in State law.
Chair Leino stated the Charter Commission does not respond to everything the.Legislature
considers but in this case, a subcommittee met and the language was drafted over three to four
meetings. The consensus of the Charter Commission was concern that at some point the City
may be perceived as overstepping its bounds. Chair Leino acknowledged he has not witnessed
the City is"running amok"in condemning property but in consideration of condemnation actions
of other cities the Charter Commission found the Charter language should be addressed.
Chair Leino stated the Charter Commission did not have the City Attorney's opinion on the
hamstringing of the City's ability resulting from a 60-day limitation. He indicated he would not
want to tie the City's "hands" in the way described by City Attorney LeFevere but one could
argue, from the land owner perspective, that it would require the City to maintain greater
foresight in what it intends to do.with eminent domain action.
The City Council acknowledged it was not eager to exercise eminent domain but, at the same
time, questioned whether it was good governance to tie the"hands"of future City Councils. The
City Council also expressed concern with a 60-day limitation since the eminent domain process
takes longer than 60 days and it could force the City into a position of having to pay an
exorbitant price or purchase property that may no longer have public purpose.
Mayor Willson stated his support to ask the Charter Commission to hold further discussion given
the City Council's expressed concerns relating to impact with future negotiations and/or actions
to determine whether common ground can be found.
Chair Leino indicated that several members of the Charter Commission have already asked about
certification timing to place this matter on the ballot. He stated the Charter Commission is
scheduled to meet April 19, 2012, and he will place this issue on that agenda so they can revisit
the 60 day issue.
City Attorney LeFevere described the difference between a quick take procedure, which is the
process most often used to acquire land since the condemnation law was amended in 2006, and
exercising eminent domain that can take months or even years. He recommended staff draft a
memorandum detailing the pros and cons of the recommended language. Mr. Leino stated it
would be helpful if staff wants to provide as set of parameters and data with which to work.
Mr. Boganey inquired regarding the_status of another Charter item related to changes in State
Law governing elections and how it relates to language in the City Charter. Chair Leino stated
the Charter Commission took an affirmative vote in 2010 saying the language was not
inconsistent with State law. Mayor Willson asked the Charter Commission to provide its opinion
in writing so it can be removed from the City Council's table.
03/12/12 -5-
Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Kleven seconded to receive the report of
the Charter Commission.
The City Council asked staff to provide the Charter Commission with pros and cons of the
recommendation, consequences unintended or intended, test cases where eminent domain has
moved forward with positive outcomes to provide a point of comparison, and a description of the
2006 amendments to condemnation law.
Mr. Boganey noted the Statute appears to read that a motion to receive, whether the report or
recommendation, triggers the scheduling of a public hearing in 30 days. City Attorney LeFevere
clarified the language of the Statute.indicates within one month of receiving a recommendation,
the City has to publish notice of a public hearing and hold that.public hearing at least two weeks
but not more than one month from published notice.
Chair Leino stated it was the intention of the Charter Commission that he make this
recommendation tonight but in light of reservations expressed, he would like to go back to the
Commission to keep the dialogue open.
Mayor Willson indicated the City Council has received a recommendation fiom the Charter
Commission and now has 30 days to publish a public hearing notice with the public hearing held
within 30 days of publication. He stated the City Council would appreciate it if the Charter
Commission's meeting was moved up to assure adequate time for continued dialogue.
The City Council and Chair Leino discussed the process should the Charter Commission
determine to modify its recommendation. Chair Leino noted in the past,the Charter Commission
has withdrawn the first recommendation. City Attorney LeFevere concurred that would be the
best outcome to continue dialogue and eliminate confusion with alternate versions since the
public hearing notice must contain the proposed amendment text.
Chair Leino noted .it would require a two-step process to request a delay in consideration or
withdraw the amendment, massage the language, and present a new recommendation that would
then trigger the public hearing. He indicated they are scheduled to meet on April 19, 2012, but
he will try to move up the meeting date.
The motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Willson voiced the City Council's respect and appreciation for the Charter Commission
who serve the City as volunteers and put great thought into how the Charter is shaped.

COUNCIL ITEM MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 8, 2012
TO: City Council
FROM: Curt Boganey, City Manager
SUBJECT: Charter Commission Recommendation
Recommendation:
Receive the Charter Commission recommendation.
Background:
On February 9, 2012, Charter Commission Chair Stan Leino e-mailed the City Clerk indicating
that the Charter Commission unanimously approved changes to Chapter 9 of the City Charter
regarding Eminent Domain(see Attachment A). Mr. Leino or another Charter Commission
member is expected to present these changes on Monday to the City Council with a
recommendation for your approval.
State Law requires the Council to act within 30 days of receiving the Charter Commission
recommendation. Once the Charter Commission presents the recommendation to the City
Council the 30-day clock starts.
M.S. 410.12 AMENDMENTS. Subd. 7. Amendment by ordinance. Upon recommendation of the
charter commission,the city council may enact a charter amendment by ordinance. Within one
month of receiving a recommendation to amend the charter by ordinance,the city must publish
notice of a public hearing on the proposal and the notice must contain the text of the proposed
amendment. The city council must hold the public hearing on the proposed charter amendment at
least two weeks but not more than one month after the notice is published. Within one month of
the public hearing,the city council must vote on the proposed charter amendment ordinance. The
ordinance is enacted if it receives an affirmative vote of all members of the city council and is
approved by the rriayor and published as in the case of other ordinances. An ordinance amending
a city charter shall not become effective until 90 days after passage and publication or at such
later date as is fixed in the ordinance. Within 60 days after passage and publication of such an
ordinance,a petition requesting a referendum on the ordinance may be filed with the city clerk.
The petition must be signed by registered voters equal in number to at least five percent of the
registered voters in the city or 2,000,whichever is less. If the requisite petition is filed within the
prescribed period,the ordinance shall not become effective until it is approved by the voters as in
the case of charter amendments submitted by the charter commission,the council, or by petition
of the voters, except that the council may submit the ordinance at any general or special election
held at least 60 days after submission of the petition, or it may reconsider its action in adopting
the ordinance. As far as practicable the requirements of subdivisions 1 to 3 apply to petitions
submitted under this section,to an ordinance amending a charter, and to the filing of such
ordinance when approved by the voters.
Budget Issues:
There are no budget issues to consider.

for water, gas heat, and power may be acquired by gift, devise, purchase, or condemnation in the
manner provided by law.
Subdivision 1 Public use; public purpose.
(a) "Public use" or"Public purpose"means exclusively;
(1) the possession, occupation, ownership and enjoyment of the land by the general
public, or by public agencies;
(2) the creation or functioning of a public service corporation; or
(3) mitigation of a blighted area, remediation of an environmentally contaminated
area,reduction of abandonedropert y, or removal of a public nuisance.
(b) The public benefits of economic development, including an increase in tax base, tax
revenues employment or general economic health, do not by themselves constitute a public
use or a public purpose.
Section 9.02. PROCEEDINGS IN ACQUIRING PROPERTY. The necessity of the taking of any
property by the City shall be determined by the Council and shall be declared by a resolution which
shall describe such property clearly and state the use to which it is to be devoted. In acquiring
property by exercising the power of eminent domain,the City shall proceed according to the laws of
this state, except as otherwise provided in this charter.
Section 9.03 PAYMENT OF AWARD. The city shall, within seventy days (70) days after the filing
of the commissioner's report, or in the case of an appeal within forty-five (45) days after the final
judgments or stipulations of settlement thereon, pay any award of damages allowed pursuant to this
section and State law whether by the commissioners or upon appeal. If the award is not paid the
court, on motion of the owner of the land shall vacate the award and dismiss the proceedings
against the land.
Section 9.04 CITY MAY DISMISS PROCEEDINGS. The city may dismiss all or part of the
property being acquired in a condemnation proceeding so long as the dismissal is filed with the
proper court prior`to the expiration of the time for an appeal or before entry of judgment if an appeal

expenses incurred by the condemnee including attorney's fees. The city has a 60 day period from
the initiation by the city council of eminent domain to dismiss proceedings unless an extension is
stipulated and agreed to by all parties.

operated at the time of the commencement of the condemnation proceedings as one property or one
system, it shall not be necessary in the condemnation proceedings or any of the proceedings of the

all of the property, lands articles, franchises, franchise values, and rights which comprise such
system may,unless otherwise ordered by the court,be treated together as one property and an award
the damages on condemnation. This does not prevent the City, when the plant and property are
separable into distinct p arts, from acquiring only such part or parts thereof as may be necessary in
the public interest.

MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSI®N
DATE: June 5, 2012
TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager
FROM: Steve Lillehaug, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Study Update
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council provide comment and direction to staff regarding the
progress with the Brooklyn Boulevard Corridor Study and the upcoming open house.
Background:
The City of Brooklyn Center's Comprehensive Plan includes a goal of making major street
corridors and other public spaces highly attractive. The Plan also indicates that reaching
consensus on a vision for the section of Brooklyn Boulevard south of 1-.694/1-94 that would then
be translated into design parameters should precede redevelopment of land area along Brooklyn
Boulevard.
On June 13, 2011, City Council directed staff to proceed with an RFP for the Brooklyn
Boulevard Corridor Study. On September 12, 2011, staff was authorized to execute a
professional services agreement with SRF Consulting Group, Inc., in the amount of$190,015.00
to provide professional services for the corridor study.
To date, the consultant and jurisdictional partners that form the project's Technical Advisory
Committee (City staff, Hennepin County staff, Three Rivers Park District staff, Metro Transit
staff and Minnesota Department of Transportation staff) have met several times with SRF
Consulting Group, Inc. to inventory existing conditions and develop draft corridor concepts. A
brief overview will be presented to you in preparation of further City Council and public
participation in this study. Attached is an overview that will be presented at the open house
which provides a summary outlining this work. At the open house, there will also be full length
concept layouts and other detailed concepts for further consideration and comment. All concepts
are strictly in initial "draft" form and are not finalized in any manner.
The public has been invited to an open house set for Tuesday, June 19, 2012, from 4:30 pm to
6:30 pm at the West Fire Station on Brooklyn Boulevard. This invitation was included in a
second newsletter that was mailed to property owners and tenants in the target study area as well
as a representative for the North Hennepin Chamber of Commerce and the Brooklyn Center
Business Association group (see attached newsletter No. 2). Information pertaining to the open
house can also be found on the City's website, the June 7 and June 14 editions of the Sun Post
and as a message on the City's "digital billboard" feature.
Policy Issues:
Are the City Council's expectations being met pertaining to project progress?
Does the City Council support this initial public participation element of the study?

pad site identified for a bank with drive thru lanes) to a 2,488 sq. ft. restaurant pad site for
Panda Express with drive thru service.
6. Enhancement to the building separation from Sears that would widen the separation to 60
ft. and enable a commercial streetscape (pedestrian walkways, landscaping, and lighting
on both sides of the internal street with the potential for store front fagades. These
improvements would maintain the existing loading area and waste areas adjacent to the
former Barnes &Noble tenant space.
7. The removal of the commercial pad site in the southeast quadrant of the 56th Ave &
Xerxes Av. entrance (previously added with the September,2011 PUD revisions).
The following exhibits have been provided to illustrate the proposed amendments that the
Planning Commission will be reviewing on June 28th:
• Three development renderings of the Shingle Creek Crossing.
• A sketch illustrating the additional daylighting of Shingle Creek.
• A Phase II Conceptual Development Plan, highlighting the proposed revisions.
• A photograph of an internal street section from the West End project in St. Louis Park to
illustrate the character of the proposed separation between Sears and former food court
portion of the mall.
In addition to changes to the Development Plans, the developer is seeking an amendment to the
Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions Agreement that would enable an educational
use/College to lease the 37,000 sq. ft. space previously occupied by Barnes &Noble.
With respect to this proposed amendment, the C-2 District and the Overlay District for the
Central Commerce District, both allow non-residential educational uses including Area Learning
Centers (ALC), post-secondary schools, business Schools, trade schools and the like, but
excluding public and private elementary and secondary schools (K-12).
The developer is also requesting City Council consideration of allowing Goodwill as a 21,500 sq.
ft. retail use within building pad site P,the junior box site adjacent to WalMart.
The Central Commerce Overlay District restricts the following commercial uses:
a) Sauna establishments
b) Massage Establishments
c) Currency Exchanges
d) Pawn Shops
e) Secondhand Goods Dealers
Also scheduled for the June 28th Planning Commission Meeting, the developer is requesting site
and building plans approval to proceed with the construction of the 3 buildings which frame the
central entry ( Building pad sites H, K, and L ) and the junior retail box adjacent to Wa1Mart,
(building pad site P), as illustrated in the approved PUD plans.

MEMORANDUM - COUNCIL WORK SESSION
Shingle Creek Crossing Tax Increment Development Agreement
On March 28, 2011, the City Council and EDA approved creation of Tax Increment No. 5, a 16
years Renewal and Renovation Tax Increment District which included the Mall properties, with
the exception of the EDA Parcel, Kohl's, Applebee's,the former Midas Muffler site, and Sears.
The structuring for the use of future tax increment projected to be generated from this new TIF
District was broken into 5 components as illustrated on the attached spreadsheet (Projected TIF
District Cash Flow and Bond Repayment)
- City&EDA Administrative Expenses ( 10% of the available annual increment).
- Repayment of the $2.4 M Pay-As-You-Go Note ( 90% of the available increment for the
lst three years, after which it drops to 60% of the available annual increment)
- Reimbursement of Other In-District Expenditures ( 30% of the available tax increment
from the 4t" year to the expiration of the district was set aside for other TIF
improvements/enhancements that the EDA may wish to consider. The total amount in
this category is projected at $ 2.5+M).
- 10% of TIF revenue can be used for eligible TIF expenditures for Out-Of-District
activities approved by the City Council & EDA. The total amount in this category is
projected at 1.1+M.
- Repayment of the Inter-Fund Loan from TIF 2 Redevelopment District (this is illustrated
to occur after the Developer's Pay-As-You-Go Note is satisfied, which will enable the
EDA to reinvest these funds into Redevelopment Activities identified in the TIF 2
budget. The total amount in this category is projected at$3.7 +M).
On May 23, 2011, the City Council and EDA approved a Tax Increment Agreement for the
Shingle Creek Crossing Development. Attached for your reference is a copy of staff memo
which identified the major components of this agreement.
Staff has continued to pursue discussions with the developer on possible options that would
promote positive images for this development and the City of Brooklyn Center. These
discussions have progress to a point where the City Council/EDA now has the choice to pursue
the investment of unallocated TIF 5 funds into further enhancement to the creek and internal
streetscaping with store front enhancements associated with the separation of Sears from the
remaining portion of the Mall. The preliminary cost projections associated with these two
enhancements are within the $2.6M cash flow projections for available in-district expenditures
noted above.
Policy Issues:
Does the City Council desire to consider an amendment to the Central Commerce Overlay
District Permitted Uses and/or the Shingle Creek Crossing PUD Agreement that would enable
Goodwill to locate in the Shingle Creek Crossing Development?
Mission:Ensuring an attractive,cleat,safe,inclusive conununio3 that enhances the quality of life
