Dr. Marc Conterato, Office of Medical Direction, stated Brooklyn Center provides 10% of its ambulance calls per year and they are proud to provide this service at no cost to the City, billing customers/patients directly. In addition, they train First Responders. Dr. Conterato stated they want to be sure the City is satisfied with their service. Dr. Conterato noted that Brooklyn Center is very close to a Number One Trauma Center, the highest level of care with surgeons and operating rooms open 24-hours a day. He stated they know they can count on the Firefighters and Police Officers of Brooklyn Center to assist them. Mr. Boganey asked if they have data whether location of a Trauma Center has impact on outcomes and recovery rates. Dr. Conterato stated there is a "golden hour of trauma" meaning 11/26/12 -1- that receiving treatment for trauma within one hour, results in a better chance of survival. With regard to heart attacks, literature has been published relating to Level One and Level Two Trauma Centers indicating treatment at a Level One Trauma Center resulted in a 10-15% higher level of survival, lower morbidity, and faster recovery. North Memorial is one of the leaders in cardiac hospitals, in the top 100 in the nation. Dr. Conterato reported that if someone is having a heart attack, the average time between the call for an ambulance and receiving treatment to open the artery is 38 minutes.

CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6-MONTH PROVISIONAL RENTAL LICENSE FOR 4216 LAKEBREEZE AVENUE Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning advised that 4216 Lakebreeze Avenue was inspected and nine property code violations (2.25/unit) were cited and ultimately corrected. There have been zero validated police incidents/nuisance calls within the last 12 months. The previous license was a Type IV Rental License. This property would qualify for Type III Rental License; however, the property owner failed to meet the conditions of the Type IV six-month provisional rental license, specifically submittal of monthly updates and completion of Phase I Crime Free Housing classes. Ms. Schleuning reviewed actions taken in regard to this rental license application and indicated Staff has reviewed that mitigation plan and held discussion with the property owner and recommends approval based on meeting standards in the mitigation plan. The Council expressed concern with the extensive history for this rental property, consuming a lot of staff time to gain resolution to the licensing process. Ms. Schleuning explained this property was unusual in having a weather deferral and there had been validated medical items that prevented the owner's ability to meet on site. However, an administrative fine of$300 was charged on September 26, 2012, for operating without a validated rental license due to the extended time required to gain compliance. Councilmember Lasman moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to open the hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Ita Ekah, property owner of 4216 Lakebreeze Avenue, stated he completed eight hours of Crime Prevention training in July at the City of Anoka and had completed all items found during the inspection. Since the property was in compliance, he requested a higher category of rental license. Ms. Schleuning explained that license applicants are encouraged to take the most readily available class as long as it is accredited.

She reviewed actions taken in regard to this rental license application and indicated Staff has reviewed that mitigation plan and held discussion with the property owner and recommends approval based on meeting standards in the mitigation plan.

Amy Moriarty, owner of Living Home Management, stated she has been in business for 15 years and is Crime Free Housing certified. They took over this property in July and since then had vacated all of the problem tenants, completed over $5,000 of repairs, raised the rent, and now have a new renter.
