County Attorney's office relating to resolving crime and provided updates on specific cases. He
reported that since 2007, crime in Brooklyn Center is down as a result of the City's fine Police
Officers, cooperation among agencies, and prosecuting cases brought to the Hennepin County
Attorney's office. Mr. Freeman reported that prosecutions are over 94%, which exceeds the
09/23/13 -3-
national averages. He described their work with juveniles to divert a large number from the
criminal justice system, when warranted, their work with DNA to prove guilt, successful
prosecution of felons carrying guns, and need to further address gun violence. Mr. Freeman

Chief Benner.

Mr. Chacon Castellanos and Ms. Gilgen provided an update on activities of the Brooklyn Bridge
Alliance for Youth including their common agenda, creation of a backbone organization, (scope
of services promoted to all youth, mutually reinforcing activities, establishing a permanent
location at the Earle Brown facility, establishment of engagement priorities, establishment of
core values, connection to the community), and redesign of the Brooklyns Youth Council. Ms.
Gilgen and Mr. Chacon Castellanos then presented the steps that will be taken in the next eight to

7c. PRESENTATION BY MIKE SIMS, MID AMERICA REAL ESTATE GROUP,
ON MARKET ACTIVITY AND BUSINESS LOCATING WITHIN THE
SHINGLE CREEK CROSSING DEVELOPMENT
Mike Sims, President of the Mid America Real Estate Group, provided an update on marketing
activity and the businesses located within Shingle Creek Crossing. He stated they are looking for
site and market driven opportunities. Mr. Sims stated this was the first ground-up development
since 2007 and while there is more activity overall, it is still low. He recognized this site has
excellent sight corridors and access to arterial roads with pylon signage so now it becomes
whether it is a trade area that fits for retailers. He noted LA Fitness is busy and will drive other
retail interest.
09/23/13 -4-
Mr. Sims named the tenants that are signed and others that are under negotiations. He stated
they were not able to backfill the food court so it will be torn down and prototype buildings
constructed. He stated the biggest challenge they have faced is a full service sit-down restaurant
but they continue to pursue the right tenant and concept for that site.
Mr. Sims stated his appreciation for the assistance of Director of Business and Development
Gary Eitel who makes them aware of potential tenant interest. He stated overall, they find
activity has exceeded expectations.
Mr. Sims answered questions of the City Council, indicating they will again contact Bruegger's
Bagel and asked that staff provide contact information for the owner of the alteration shop that
had moved to Crystal. He explained they constantly re-contact potential national and regional
tenants and Mr. Gatlin is committed to completing a successful quality project of which the City
of Brooklyn Center will be proud.
The City Council thanked Mr. Sims for providing an update on Shingle Creek Crossing.
7d. RESOLUTION NO. 2013-116 EXPRESSING RECOGNITION OF AND
APPRECIATION FOR THE DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVICE OF PHIL COHEN
Mr. Boganey indicated Mr. Cohen has announced his decision to give up his seat on the Earle
Brown Days Committee and the resolution was drafted to honor his commitment to that
Committee.
Mayor Pro Tern Ryan read in full a Resolution expressing appreciation to Phil Cohen for his 28
dedicated years of public service to the City of Brooklyn Center. He reviewed other activities
and areas of service in which former Mayor Cohen has been involved.
Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to
adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2013-116 Expressing Recognition of and Appreciation for the
Dedicated Public Service of Phil Cohen.
Motion passed unanimously.
The City Council extended their appreciation to Mr. Cohen for his consistent involvement and
fund raising efforts. It was noted that Mr. Cohen is currently writing a book on leadership.
S. PUBLIC HEARINGS
8a. CONTINUED SPECIAL ASSESSMENT HEARING FOR PROPOSED SPECIAL
ASSESSMENTS FOR DELINQUENT UTILITY BILLS
City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item, noting the Public Hearing had been held on
September 9, 2013, during which residents appealed the proposed assessments. The City
Council continued the Public Hearing on those specific properties and directed staff to
09/23/13 -5-
investigate each of the appeals. The action before the City Council is to reopen the Public
Hearing, accept additional input, and take action on certification of the assessments.
Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning

appeal of delinquent utility bills.
Ms. Schleuning presented the appeal statement and findings for 5305 Irving Avenue North and
recommendation to assess $105.47 as $120 was paid as of September 18, 2013. She indicated an
error has not been substantiated and it was the cost of service rendered. Ms. Schleuning stated
staff will work with the appellant on methods to manage and budget for this expense.
Ms. Schleuning presented the appeal statement and findings for 5042 Ewing Avenue North and
recommendation that $488.48 be assessed to the property as an extensive amount of time passed

water use.

9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS

10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS
10a. CONTINUED CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6-MONTH PROVISIONAL
RENTAL LICENSE FOR 5715 EMERSON AVENUE NORTH
Ms. Schleuning reviewed that at its September 9, 2013, meeting, the City Council continued
09/23/13 -8-
consideration of a Type IV 6-Month Provisional Rental License for 5715 Emerson Avenue North
since this is the fifth time this property remained at Type IV. The City Council had requested
that staff provide a report regarding options for the licensing of this rental property. She stated
should the City Council decide to modify or disapprove the Mitigation Plan, staff should be
directed to prepare proposed findings for disapproval of the Mitigation Plan and to notify the
license applicant of pending license actions to be taken at a subsequent City Council meeting.
Ms. Schleuning noted the City Attorney has rendered an opinion and explained the violation did
not have to do with Code issues but with not attending the required ARM meetings and not
submitting one of the required monthly reports on the Mitigation Plan. She reviewed options for
the City Council's consideration and amount of fees imposed against this rental property that is
now in compliance.
The City Council noted failure to comply with reporting requirements and the Mitigation Plan
results in an ordinance violation.
City Attorney LeFevere confirmed that is correct, noting many of the fees levied are due to not
complying with the Mitigation Plan. He explained that if a rental license and/or Mitigation Plan
is not approved, the City has no leverage to require compliance with the Mitigation Plan and the
tenant can remain and continue to pay rent. Because of this, there is more motivation for the
property owner to comply if a Mitigation Plan is approved.
Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to open
the hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
My Truong, owner of 5715 Emerson Avenue North, apologized for not following the Mitigation
Plan and explained they have hired a new property manager that is a graduate of the University
of Minnesota and are committed to abide by the City's ordinances. Mr. Truong asked the City
Council to give him one more chance to resolve the management issues and abide by the
licensing requirements.
The City Council indicated the purpose of the City's performance based rental licensing is not to
be punitive but to provide strong incentives and encourage compliance with the City's
ordinances. The City Council stated it appreciates Mr. Truong's attention to this matter, noting
the trend is for the City's rental properties to move to a longer-term license. Mr. Truong was
encouraged, as a businessman, to abide by the terms of the Mitigation Plan and City's
ordinances, as it will be reluctant to again consider renewal if this Mitigation Plan is not
followed.
Councilmember Kleven moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to close the hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.
1. RESOLUTION NO. 2013-119 APPROVING A TYPE IV RENTAL
LICENSE FOR 5715 EMERSON AVENUE NORTH
09/23/13 -9-
Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to
approve RESOLUTION NO. 2013-119 Approving a Type IV Rental License for 5715 Emerson
Avenue North, subject to strict adherence to the Mitigation Plan and City's ordinances.
Motion passed unanimously.
10b. RESOLUTION NO. 2013-120 ESTABLISHING IMPROVEMENT, ACCEPTING
FEASIBILITY REPORT, ORDERING IMPROVEMENT, AND AUTHORIZING
PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR WATER
TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT NO.2014-05
Public Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug introduced the item and presented the
Water Treatment Plant Feasibility Study prepared by SEH, Inc. for a Gravity Filter Treatment
Plant with a treatment capacity of seven million gallons per day (MGD) and ability to treat up to
ten MGD for short periods. It is proposed to be located on City-owned property in the northeast
quadrant of the intersection at 70th and Camden Avenues, which is centrally located within the
City's main well field. He presented the building plan and described the function of each area.
The estimated project cost is $18,254,000 and anticipated to be paid by user fees through the
Water Utility Fund and staff will research opportunities for grants and low-interest loans.
Mr. Lillehaug presented a proposed project schedule, funding dependent, that would result in a
construction start in April of 2014 and project completion in November of 2015. He asked the
City Council to consider a resolution to establish the improvement, accept the feasibility report,
order the improvement, and authorize preparation of plans and specifications.
Mr. Lillehaug answered questions of the City Council, indicating there is a 20-year repayment
for the structure and this capital investment would have a life expectancy of 50 years. At that
point,the facility would be outdated. He stated there is currently satellite water treatment at each
of the City's nine wells so relocating that function to a central water treatment plant will be more
efficient and may not result in an increase in staffing levels. It was noted everything would be
automated and can be operated by the Utility Supervisor at his desk or from a laptop. With
regard to noise, the only thing you will hear from the outside is a baffled generator but it would
be adjacent to Trunk Highway 252 so that noise will not be heard. Inside the facility and
working for an extended period of time, ear protection would be advisable.
The City Council noted there is already a network of pipes coming to the proposed plant
location. Mr. Lillehaug stated that is correct and pointed out a 500-foot section where piping
would be required. It was noted this site was selected because it is centrally located to eight of
the City's water towers.
There was discussion on the proposed Water Treatment Plant and that the West Well would not
be connected to the Water Treatment Plan and kept on standby for use during emergency
situations. Mr. Lillehaug stated 100% of the water will go through the Treatment Plant and
consumers will notice a change in water quality. He stated Well #6 is in the lead because it has
09/23/13 -10-
the lowest level of Manganese and Wells #2 and #4 are not being used due to high levels of
Manganese but both are being maintained.
Councilmember Kleven moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to approve
RESOLUTION NO. 2013-120 Establishing Improvement, Accepting Feasibility Report,
Ordering Improvement, and Authorizing Preparation of Plans and Specifications for Water
Treatment Plant Improvements Project No. 2014-05.
Motion passed unanimously.
