INFORMAL OPEN FORUM WITH CITY COUNCIL CALL TO ORDER INFORMAL OPEN FORUM The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Informal Open Forum called to order by Mayor Tim Willson at 6:45 p.m. RIfl.T CATI Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmembers April Graves, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Lin Myszkowski, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Public Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, Engineer Mike Albers; Assistant City Manager/Director of Building and Community Standards Vickie Schleuning, City Attorney Troy Gilchrist, and Denise Bosch, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. Mayor Tim Willson opened the meeting for the purpose of Informal Open Forum. Ron Schmidt, 6518 Willow Lane North, stated that there is a.33 hundredth of a mile piece of the Three Rivers bike trail that is missing. The plan is to turn a sidewalk on Willow Lane into a bike trail. This change will not take place for about five years. He talked about the number of bicyclists currently riding on the street and the hazards associated with this practice. He has suggested to the City that a light be attached to a telephone pole on his property. He stated he received a letter from Assistant City Engineer Andrew Hogg explaining the City's street light policy and stating that there would be a cost to property owners of $2,000 to 6,000. He said his neighbors were not interested in paying the cost for the light and they feel they already pay enough taxes. He wants to go on record that he is concerned that a biker or pedestrian will be hurt because it is so dark in this area. He knows there is nothing that can be done, but he at least has gone on record so he can live with himself. Councilmember Ryan stated it has been a longstanding City Council practice not to engage in problem solving during the Informal Open Forum. Mr. Schmidt stated that the Assistant City Engineer did a good job of communicating the City's position but it didn't seem warm and friendly to the taxpayers. Councilmember Ryan stated he won't let the issue go and will look into it to see if the City Council could revisit it. He also stated that street lights are paid for through utility fees and not through taxes. 12/14/15 -1- Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to close the Informal Open Forum at 6:53 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 2.INVOCATION Councilmember Graves offered the invocation by reading a poem. 3.CALL TO ORDER REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Regular Session called to order by Mayor Tim Willson at 7:02 p.m. 4.ROLL CALL Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmembers April Graves, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Lin Myszkowski, and Dan Ryan.

RESOLUTION NO. 2015-188 ORDERING IMPROVEMENTS AND AUTHORIZING PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR 12/14/15 -5- IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NOS. 2016-01, 02, 03 AND 04, PALMER LAKE WEST AREA STREET, STORM DRAINAGE AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS City Manager Curt Boganey stated that there were two public hearings this evening and described them. He stated that the proper notices had been issued, and he introduced Public Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug. Mr. Lillehaug stated that Project Engineer Mike Albers would make the presentation and talked about the Palmer West Lake Neighborhood improvement history and procedure. He stated that all public comments had been provided to the City Council. He recommended that the City Council hear only the improvement comments at the first hearing and defer the special assessment comments to the second hearing. He also asked that the City Council formally consider the resolutions. He stated that no appeals pertaining to the special assessments had been received prior to tonight's public hearing. He recommended that the City Council refer any substantive assessment objections received tonight to staff for report back to the City Council for a continued public hearing. He also recommended removing only the objection-related assessments from the proposed levy roll and adopting the remaining proposed assessments. Mr. Albers presented the following: a map of the reconstruction project; the capital improvement program; a project planning and evaluation including sanitary sewer, water main, storm drainage, streets, sidewalks, trails, street lights; the sanitary sewer collection system; the water distribution system; the storm water drainage system; the pavement condition vs drainage (typical); the street reconstruction; the sidewalk improvement; the existing conditions and proposed improvements; the City policies and studies; restoration; the street lighting; the park improvements; the public right-of-way; the inconvenience during construction; the preliminary project budget; the assessment area; the special assessments - estimated amounts and payment options; and the estimated payment amount. Councilmember Ryan asked about the inflation factor used in estimating the cost of projects. Mr. Albers responded that the City used the Construction Cost Index and that is how the assessment rate is adjusted each year. Councilmember Ryan asked if the Construction Cost Index has raised at a slightly higher rate than the Consumer Price Index. Mr. Albers responded that he didn't know the comparison rates and would have to provide that information at a later date. Councilmember Ryan stated that he had observed this, and it is definitely a factor as to why the assessments have had to go up over the years because of the additional costs to the projects. Mr. Albers responded affirmatively. Councilmember Graves asked about the City's assessment policy and the inability to make partial payments. Mayor Willson replied that partial payments were not allowed because of administrative costs needed to track unscheduled payments. He stated that this issue could be brought back to the City Council for further discussion. Councilmember Graves stated that partial payments would be difficult for staff but possibly easier for residents. 12/14/15 -6- Councilmember Ryan stated that it is a cash flow issue for the City. Mr. Boganey stated that the City's policy prevents partial prepayments as opposed to partial payments because of overhead cost that would be incurred by the City. Mr. Lillehaug stated that there is a street assessment and a storm sewer assessment. A resident can pay each one off separately. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Jane Sandberg, 3413 Woodbine Lane, spoke regarding the proposed sidewalk along the west side of West Palmer Lake Drive from 72nd Avenue N to the school. She stated that when she saw the proposal, she immediately thought that someone would get killed there because traffic is coming from three different directions. She stated that neighbors have spent hours gathering information to prove the sidewalk is unwarranted. She stated that what is warranted is a crosswalk at the sidewalk on 72nd crossing to the existing sidewalk on the east side of West Palmer Lake Drive. She asked if the City is only considering the safe routes to school for children in a small radius around the school. She stated that the current crossing route is a safe method and there is no safety issue with the existing sidewalk configuration. She stated that the new sidewalk would not be used. She asked the City Council to consider the impact the sidewalk would have on residents with the loss of 10 feet of off-street parking. She stated that the City's use of the land seems unwarranted. She stated that she has sent two previous letters expressing fear of student safety with the proposed sidewalk changes. She stated that if the limited sidewalk is being proposed because there is money, that doesn't mean that what is proposed is the right thing to do. June Paschke, 7213 West Palmer Lake Drive N, went over the actual count taken by residents on October 30, 2015. The a.m. Woodbine count was one walker; 85 cars and 11 buses; the a.m. Palmer Lake Drive count was one walker; 45 cars; and 5 buses. Mayor Willson confirmed that there were two children walking from Woodbine and Palmer Lake Drive. Ms. Paschke also mentioned that on October 30th, there were three cars per minute going into the school and this would make it difficult for children to cross the street. She described circumstances in 1968 when there were 1,000 students at Palmer Lake School and more students walked to school. She also asked about the professional landscaping and trees on her property that will be affected. Mayor Willson stated that the City will work with her on the trees if they are not in the right-of- way, and he would have to see a picture or have staff look into it. 12/14/15 -7- Chou Xiong, 7219 Palmer Lake Drive W, spoke about the proposed sidewalk. He stated that he attended Palmer Lake Elementary and has lived in the area for quite a while. He stated that the existing crosswalk is hectic and dangerous, and it takes a while for students to cross. He questioned why the proposed sidewalk would not go further and stated that the proposed sidewalk raises a concern for neighborhood security. He stated there hasn't been a problem with the existing route and that he has seen the neighbors' statistics and he does agree that the sidewalk would be an intrusion to their property. Mayor Willson asked how it would be an intrusion. Mr. Xiong replied that there would be security and privacy issues. Mayor Willson stated that it is a right-of-way that is part of the street and is City property. Mr. Xiong stated the area is heavily congested with traffic and he doesn't believe the proposed sidewalk is needed for just two students to go to and from school. Mayor Willson stated that ten years from now there could be more students, and the City is looking at the long-term. Mari Morin, 7019 Drew Ave N, stated that she is happy that the trails are being worked on and asked about the typical street width in Brooklyn Center. Mr. Albers responded that the existing width varies but the average is 27 to 29 feet. Ms. Morin stated that she is concerned about service vehicles if the streets are being narrowed in conjunction with the amount of vehicles currently parking on the street. She asked if the streets would look like the ones by the cemetery. Mr. Boganey stated that the streets would be similar if not identical to those by the cemetery. Ann Koehler, 6930 Ewing Ave N, stated she is concerned about getting in and out during construction and asked if residents will have to park other places during construction. She stated she is concerned about being susceptible to water and utility outages and cracks in foundations with the heavy machinery. Mayor Willson stated that parking will need to be coordinated with the people doing the work; utilities should not be interrupted other than running water hoses to outside faucets when they hook up the utility water during construction; and his recommendation regarding if foundation cracking is a concern, pictures should be taken before construction starts. Lorelle Neu, 7036 Drew Ave N, stated her recommendation is to change the 90 degree curbside to 45 degrees to help spread the street. This would also help to address the issue of neighbors having a lot of guests parking on the street. Mayor Willson stated that this could be talked about, but the City does have a standard. 12/14/15 -8- Mr. Lillehaug stated that the alternative type of curve is called mountable or surmountable curb and is designed for new neighborhoods and new homes when they don't know where the driveway is going to be. The city has historically used a six inch vertical curb and has 30-foot wide streets. Mayor Willson stated that he would hate to change from what has been done in the rest of the City. Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Graves stated that she thinks the sidewalk does not look right because it stops and might as well go all the way down. She doesn't think it would be that difficult for the walkers without the sidewalk, but there is definitely a need for more crosswalks, lights, or a school patrol. She agrees with residents regarding the length of the sidewalk and understands why it may be needed but is unsure about the necessity of it. Councilmember Ryan stated he would like to hear more about safety measures at the intersections. He displayed safety signage received in their Council packets and stated that he would like to see some of that signage added to the project to improve the safety of the students. He stated that Ms. Paschke raised an important point that some years before there were lots of students walking, and he believes it is the City Council's job to do things on a cost effective basis to make passage to school safer for any number of students. He stated that getting pedestrians out of the roadway is essential to enhancing pedestrian safety. He feels it is important to address safety measures at those intersections and also consider the impact of the sidewalk. He asked for staff's comments. Mr. Lillehaug reported on the sidewalk background. He referenced the goal of the City to make walking and biking to and from school safe and convenient through a combination of programming and infrastructure approaches. He talked about trying to eliminate mid-block crosswalks because they are the least safe crosswalks. Staff is proposing to put crosswalk signage at each crosswalk and adding new crossing walks; trying to improve the gap to improve safety; and encourage students to walk to school and have a safer route to school. Councilmember Ryan commented on the effect of the 63rd Avenue reconstruction on his property because of the increase in traffic during peak hours. He stated he wouldn't want anybody walking in the street during peak times and confirmed that the proposed sidewalk wouldn't affect the assessment rate. Mr. Lillehaug confirmed that the proposed sidewalk would not impact the assessment rate and would be paid for by the street reconstruction fund. Councilmember Myszkowski stated that she is a huge supporter of the Complete Streets Policy in the City. She stated that we want to encourage people to be more active, but recognizes that there are a number of people that drive their children to school. Her hope is that by adding the sidewalk, it would encourage parents to let kids walk to school. She stated that there are no 12/14/15 -9- school patrols for most schools, but with proper signage, she believes students would be safe. She stated that the population numbers of schools go up and down and as a Councilmember, she feels it is their responsibility to look forward and create flexibility in the decisions they make. She thanked everyone for coming forward tonight and speaking and making her think more deeply about the issue. Mayor Willson stated that we have to do what we think is right for the City at this point in time. He talked about the 30 year street project and that it may be 30 years before this area is looked at again. He will support the argument for putting in the sidewalk because 30 years from now the area could be filled with students. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated that she will be driving through the area to visualize it. She stated that the area she lives in underwent construction this year and the result was fantastic. She stated that because of the dangerous traffic on 63id Avenue, her children never walked to Odyssey Academy, but now there are medians and a crosswalk by the school, so she does have faith in this proposal. She stated that many people were disappointed with the ten-foot trail but it does look fantastic. She talked about the changes in her neighborhood over the years and the fact that the City needs to plan for the future. She is very sensitive to the residents' opinion, but the City Council's job is to make Brooklyn Center's future bright and safe for children. Councilmember Ryan stated that he appreciated comments of the Councilmembers and thanked staff for their input. He talked about growing up in Brooklyn Center and people back then could walk in the street. He stated that the City is faced with things changing in the future and he appreciates the effort the residents made to collect the information. He believes there are safety concerns when crossing West Palmer Lake Drive, but there would still be safety issues with or without the sidewalk. He thinks that putting the sidewalk in is a safety improvement and he will be supporting the resolution for the improvement including the sidewalk. Mayor Willson moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2015-188 Ordering Improvements and Authorizing Preparation of Plans and Specifications for Improvement Project Nos. 2016-01, 02, 03 and 04, Palmer Lake West Area Street, Storm Drainage and Utility Improvements Motion passed unanimously. 8b. RESOLUTION NO. 2015-189 CERTIFYING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NOS. 2016-01 AND 2016-02, PALMER LAKE PARK AREA STREET AND STORM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE HENNEPIN COUNTY TAX ROLLS City Manager Curt Boganey recommended that the public hearing be opened. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to open the Public Hearing. 12/14/15 -10- Motion passed unanimously. Sharon Carlson, 3609 Violet Avenue, stated she recognizes that the house and sewer system is old. She stated that she received the notice for the October 27th meeting three days before the meeting and she was upset by that. She realizes that the systems need repair, but coming up with the assessment money will be incredibly difficult for her as a single homeowner. She would like to see more payment plan options. She asked how much extra the four percent interest rate adds to the assessment. Mayor Willson stated that he is not aware of anyone that borrows money without interest. Ms. Carlson stated that because she has no choice with regard to the assessment, there should be better payment plan options. Councilmember Ryan pointed out the net interest cost and stated that he appreciated the impact on residents, but the City does not assess for the whole amount of the project and four percent is a good interest rate. He appreciates that this is a big hit, and he would like to explore other payment options. He stated that the only other option is to do nothing until the system fails. Ms. Carlson stated she wished there was an easier way to pay for it without it costing extra money. Councilmember Ryan stated that it hurts but it is the best way to solve a really tough set of problems that every city has to address. Wendy Larson, 7007 Drew Ave. N, stated that she is a single homeowner who is wondering how she will be able to afford her home if this assessment is added to her mortgage. She stated that she is concerned about payments and what options may be available. She asked if this assessment was going to add to foreclosures because people can't afford the payments. Mayor Willson stated that the City has to provide water and sewer services to the City. If it does nothing and the water and sewage services fail, it will be much more expensive for the City. Mr. Boganey went over three payment options for property owners and noted the anticipated increase in property value when the improvements are made. Councilmember Graves asked about the first option of paying in full and asked if it could be paid incrementally. Mr. Boganey stated that partial prepayments cannot be accepted. Discussion took place regarding the payment options; estimated and actual assessment amounts; the CPI index; and concrete driveway aprons. Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Public Hearing. 12/14/15 -11- Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2015-189 Certifying Special Assessments for Improvement Project Nos. 2016-01 and 2016-02, Palmer Lake Park Area Street and Storm Drainage Improvements to the Hennepin County Tax Rolls Motion passed unanimously. 9.PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS None 10.COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS lOa.
