PRESENTATIONS/PROCLAMATIONS/RECOGNITIONS/DONATIONS None 02/22/16 -3- 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS 8a. AN INTERIM ORDINANCE EXTENDING A MORATORIUM ON THE LICENSING AND OPERATION OF NEW RENTAL DWELLING UNITS AND IMPOSING TEMPORARY REGULATIONS ON THE RESIDENCY LOCATION OF PREDATORY OFFENDERS WITHIN THE CITY - This item was first read on January 25, 2016; published in the official newspaper on February 4, 2016, and is offered this evening for Public Hearing. City Manager Curt Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and stated the purpose of the proposed ordinance. He stated that there has been significant progress made. Information on rental licenses will be available at the next City Council meeting. This extension allows time to consider adoption of a new ordinance. Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Mark Bliven, Director of Risk Assessment and Community Notification, MN Department of Corrections, stated that he believes that the City Council should have more material and information to help them understand the issues. He stated that it seems to be a bifurcated discussion on real estate values and public safety issues. Councilmember Ryan stated that no one is sure how the Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP) federal lawsuit will be resolved and there is the possibility of a lot more offenders being released. He stated that Brooklyn Center has not been treated fairly in the past in terms of how the offenders have been distributed to communities. Mr. Bliven stated he agrees that those issues should be addressed and Chief Gannon's concerns are legitimate. He stated that most MSOP offenders would not be under local supervision, but would be supervised by the Department of Human Services. He stated he is not speaking for Hennepin County but is interested in bringing a Statewide perspective and how this ordinance could have a dramatic impact on how correction supervision is done around the State. He said it is important for the City to take its role very seriously because it would be the first metro city to consider residency restrictions and put them in place. He stated that Columbia Heights and Hilltop have followed Brooklyn Center's lead and the reality is that the location of Brooklyn Center in relation to Minneapolis is impactful. Councilmember Ryan stated that there could be discussion about why we have received more than our fair share of offenders being placed in residences. He appreciates the fact that Mr. Bliven is not the decision maker but he thinks the City has good reason to have concern and anxiety regarding the lawsuit alone. He said until released offenders are placed in a fair and equitable distribution, it is our responsibility to protect our community. He stated that a Level III 02/22/16 -4- designation is given for offenders based on the violent nature of their offense and the assessment of risk for them to repeat their offense. Mayor Willson stated that he understands that the ordinance may have an impact on the MSOP, but Brooklyn Center's rates have dramatically increased in a short period of time. He stated that Brooklyn Center is facing areas of poverty; high concentrations of affordable housing; the impact of the zip code restriction that is forcing individuals to locate here; and the potential release of high numbers of MSOP offenders. He stated that the high rate of recidivism by Level III offenders makes the City worried about how that group of individuals is growing in Brooklyn Center. Given the affordability of Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park, we could see many more offenders locating here. He spoke of his past work with Level III offenders and the high rate of recidivism. He stated that in order to protect citizens they want to study and raise the issue. He questioned if the distribution will be equitable throughout the metro area if there will be a large number of Level III offenders released and he stated that Brooklyn Center tends to get the short end of the stick and he would rather be proactive than wait for the problem to manifest itself. Mr. Bliven stated that the zip code restrictions were made by Hennepin County Corrections. He stated that Hennepin County Corrections is open to working with cities on issues and this may be a better way to address issues than an ordinance. He stated that if other Hennepin County cities adopted the same ordinance, they are essentially saying that no offenders are allowed to live in the county. Mr. Boganey clarified that this hearing extends the moratorium for 60 days and it keeps in place the interim ordinance for an additional 60 days. He stated that the interim ordinance will be similar to a permanent ordinance so it is appropriate to speak tonight and there will be another opportunity to speak again. He asked if Mr. Bliven believed that after the ordinance was adopted that there was no attempt from the City to speak to the county. Mr. Bliven replied that he didn't know what the connections were with the county, but he sees misconceptions in the ordinance such as giving the impression that there is a high recidivism rate for Level III offenders. He stated the purpose of labeling offenders is to manage them and they actually have a very low recidivism rate. He stated that those under supervision have a 0% recidivism rate. Mr. Boganey stated that he was not sure there was anything in the ordinance that spoke to the recidivism rate, but they did indicate that Level III offenders are designated as the most likely to re-offend. Mayor Willson stated that Level III offenders have been violent offenders in the past and that brings a concern. Brooklyn Center has had six Level III offenders and one has gone back to prison so he knows supervision is working. Mr. Bliven stated that the 2,000-foot restriction is sort of an arbitrary idea and creates the impression of creating safety zones. He asked if there are any areas of Brooklyn Center that don't fall under the safety zone and, if so, why are offenders being concentrated into those particular neighborhoods. 02/22/16 -5- Mayor Willson stated that there are areas in the City that accommodate the 2,000-foot restriction and they fully understand that an ordinance with footage limitations cannot be enacted that prevent location within the City. He stated that they have looked at areas that it would be allowable for offenders to locate within the City. Mr. Bliven asked if they are designated as unsafe zones. Mayor Willson stated that there would be much more police enforcement in those areas especially if the concentration is higher than it is today. He stated that we are not saying those are unsafe zones, but they are places where kids do not congregate. By having a 2,000-foot restriction, areas surrounding schools and parks should be safe. Mr. Bliven offered to present materials for the City Councils' information in writing. Mayor Willson asked for the information prior to the March meeting to take it under consideration. Josh Benson, 16385 211th Avenue NW, Elk River, stated that he had purchased a duplex at 5137 and 5139 France Avenue. He bought the property to restore it and now it can't be rented. He would like direction. Mayor Willson stated that there will be another 60-day extension on the moratorium and he understands the economic ramification for Mr. Benson. Mr. Benson asked when his private property rights will be restored. Mayor Willson replied that the City Council would have to approve the ordinance change, which may or may not impact his property. Mr. Boganey stated that 60 days beyond March 22nd is the earliest there would be some certainty about rental licenses in certain neighborhoods and until the City Council adopts a new ordinance, they can't answer his question. City Attorney Troy Gilchrist stated that according to State Law, owners don't acquire a vested right to utilize the property as they wish. He stated that the idea is to get an ordinance in place as quickly as possible and staff is working hard to put something before the City Council for a decision. Mayor Willson stated the moratorium is in place so that the City Council can study the issue because there is a perception of a large number of rental properties in Brooklyn Center. Mr. Benson asked what would be done with multi-unit buildings that would sit vacant. Councilmember Ryan stated his understanding and perspective that the issue is with single family, owner-occupied homes being converted into rentals. There has been an improved rental ordinance and it is not his intention to restrict properties that had been rentals in the past such as the duplex. He is focusing on limiting the number of single-family homes being converted. He 02/22/16 -6- apologized for the inconvenience the moratorium has caused Mr. Benson, but believes it is necessary. Mr. Benson asked if he could get a rental license. Mayor Willson stated that he couldn't tell him for sure and their intent is not to say that one cannot rent in the city. The intent is to address the single-family conversions and look at what can be done to better manage those properties. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt ORDINANCE NO. 2016-01 Extending a Moratorium on the Licensing and Operation of New Rental Dwelling Units and Imposing Temporary Regulations on the Residency Location of Predatory Offenders within the City. Motion passed unanimously. 9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS 9a. PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2016-002, SUBMITTED BY ROBBINSPALE AREA SCHOOLS - ISD NO. 281 REQUESTING SITE AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL FOR NEW CLASSROOM AND ENTRY ADDITION TO NORTHPORT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (5421 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD). THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED (UNANIMOUS) APPROVAL OF THIS APPLICATION AT ITS FEBRUARY 11, 2016, MEETING. Planning and Zoning Specialist Tim Benetti provided an overview of Planning Commission Application No. 2016-002 and advised the Planning Commission recommended approval of the applications at its February 11, 2016, meeting. Mayor Willson stated he is not opposed to this submitted application but has concerns about the process and not having a public hearing. He stated that one of the duties and functions of the Planning Commission is to hold public hearings and suggested holding a public hearing tonight so any comments could be heard before taking action on the application. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. No one wished to address the City Council. 02/22/16 -7- Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. 1. RESOLUTION NO. 2016-32 REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2016-002, SUBMITTED BY ROBBINSDALE AREA SCHOOLS - ISD NO. 281 REQUESTING SITE AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL FOR NEW CLASSROOM AND ENTRY ADDITION TO NORTHPORT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (LOCATED AT 5421 BROOKLYN BOULEVARD) Councilniember Ryan moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to approve RESOLUTION NO. 2016-32 Regarding the Disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 2016-002, Submitted by Robbinsdale Area Schools - ISD 281 Requesting Site and Building Plan Approval for New Classroom and Entry Addition to Northport Elementary School, Located at 5421 Brooklyn Boulevard. Councilmember Ryan stated he is pleased to see the improvements. Councilmember Myszkowski echoed Councilmember Ryan's remarks and stated that the projected enrollments bode well for Brooklyn Center. She also stated that how attractive area has become. Motion passed unanimously. 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS lOa. FORMERLY CONSENT AGENDA ITEM NO. 6e RESOLUTION NO. 2016-31 APPROVING PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS FOR 2016 URBAN HENNEPIN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM AND AUTHORIZING SIGNATURE OF SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY AND ANY THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS Jesse Anderson, Deputy Director of Building and Community Standards, presented an overview of the allocations. Deb Loon, Executive Director of Brooklyn Avenues (Avenues for Homeless Youth), 6910 76th Avenue N, Brooklyn Park, addressed the City Council and apologized for their absence from the previous meeting. She reported that they have been open for a full year and the program has proven its necessity in serving the community. She said they have supported 99 youth; 44 have lived there for 80 days and 55 have accessed the emergency beds. She stated that 73% have moved on to a stable living arrangement with 50% percent moving back with their family and 25% moving into more independent living arrangements. She stated her appreciation for City and community support. 02/22/16 -8- Mayor Willson stated that the numbers show the need is being addressed and the City has made a good decision in supporting the program. Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2016-31 Approving Projected Use of Funds for 2016 Urban Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program and Authorizing Signature of Subrecipient Agreement with Hennepin County and Any Third Party Agreements Motion passed unanimously. lOb. FORMERLY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM NO lOa CONSIDERATION OF TYPE IV 6-MONTH PROVISIONAL RENTAL LICENSES Mayor Willson explained the streamlined process used to consider Type IV 6-Month Provisional Rental Licenses. Mayor Willson polled the audience and asked whether anyone was in attendance to provide testimony on any of the rental licenses as listed on tonight's meeting agenda. Seeing no one coming forward, Mayor Willson called for a motion on Agenda Item 1 Ob 1. 1. 142555th AVENUE NORTH Councilmember Myszkowski moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to approve the issuance of a Type IV six-month provisional rental license and mitigation plan for 1425 55th Avenue North, with the requirement that the mitigation plan and all applicable ordinances must be strictly adhered to before a renewal license would be considered. Councilmember Ryan stated that he wanted to make it clear that this rental license was issued before the moratorium took effect and therefore it is eligible to be renewed. Motion passed unanimously. lOc. FORMERLY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM NO. lOb CHARTER COMMISSION SUBMISSION OF RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY CHARTER Mr. Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and stated the purpose of the proposed resolution, which is to prevent tallying superfluous write-in votes. He clarified that if the write-in candidate has enough votes to win the election, the votes would be counted and the person could be elected to the office. Mayor Willson stated that a high number of write-in votes would trigger staff to count the votes whether or not the candidate has made a written request with the filing officer. 02/22/16 -9- Councilmember Ryan clarified that this amendment should save the clerk time and money by eliminating the counting of superfluous names on the ballot. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to direct Staff to draft a Charter Amendment Ordinance. Motion passed unanimously. Mayor Willson confirmed that the City Council would have to unanimously approve the amendment with all five Council Members present. lOd. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 12 OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES RELATING TO LIMITING THE RESIDENCY LOCATION OF CERTAIN PREDATORY OFFENDERS Police Chief Tim Gannon stated working with Hennepin County was difficult at times. He discovered that there were prohibitive zip codes and that had an impact on Brooklyn Center and that wasn't communicated with the City until it was thrust upon them. Mayor Willson stated he was glad Chief Gannon brought the issue to them. He said this is a trend and something that the City Council is interested in and it is better to be proactive than reactive. He is glad that a moratorium and study is being done. He thinks it is good that Chief Gannon saw a trend and made people aware of it. Chief Gannon stated that five out of six offenders in Brooklyn Center were affected by the prohibitive zip codes, which is why Brooklyn Center has a disproportionate number of offenders, and talked about the effect of the prohibitive zip code practice. He stated he has met with the County Commissioner, Hennepin County probation and supervisors and there are no coherent plans in place so the City would likely still have a disproportionate number. Mayor Willson stated that he does not want to see any incidence involving a violent sexual offender in Brooklyn Center and one of our children or young adults is far too many. If we are looking at the tradeoff between volume and risk, he would rather look at it now than later after something has happened. Mr. Boganey stated that staff is recommending that the City Council approve the first reading of the ordinance and set second reading and public hearing for March 28, 2016. Mayor Willson commented he is not taking the view of "not in my backyard" but he certainly is concerned about his backyard. Councilmember Graves stated she is reluctant to make a holistic statement about groups of people and believes in second chances, but believes this is right for Brooklyn Center. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to Approve First Reading and Set Second Reading and Public Hearing for March 28, 2106, for an Ordinance 02/22/16 -10- Amending Chapter 12 of the City Code of Ordinances Relating to Limiting the Residency Location of Certain Predatory Offenders. City Attorney Gilchrist stated he would be interested in Mr. Bliven' s materials but encouraged an effort to avoid the unsafe notion and that somehow a portion of the City is unsafe. He said if people engage in that type of hyperbole, then it could be said that the prohibitive zip code has rendered Brooklyn Center as unsafe. Mayor Willson stated having someone say we are building unsafe zones is not right in his opinion and not the goal of the moratorium especially given what our Police Department has done to lower crime. Mr. Boganey commented that the State Statute related to predatory offenders mandates that the distance from schools and the closeness of proximity in location be considered. He said what we have done is establish a clearer definition and reasonable concentration for Brooklyn Center by establishing the 2,000-foot distance from schools; we are just defining the State Law. He said when an offender is located in a community, there is a public notification. He stated there is evidence that shows that where there is a high level of offenders, there is a direct negative impact on property values. He said the City is trying to limit the negative impact on neighborhoods. He stated we want to minimize the impact by not having large numbers and concentrations. Councilmember Ryan stated that the City Council is firmly behind the ordinance and that he appreciates Chief Gannon's and the City Attorney's efforts because we have been negatively impacted by the zip codes restrictions. He said the city must be treated fairly and equitably. Councilmember Myszkowski stated that given the lack of communication and cooperation among entities it is no wonder why we felt we had to do this. She said the numbers are jarring to see the concentration in such a small community. She appreciates Chief Gannon' s efforts and Mr. Boganey's support. Mayor Willson stated that there were comments that people can be rehabilitated and that is true. He said Brooklyn Center tends to attract a group home setting so it solidifies for him that this is something we can look at and can have an impact on. Councilmember Graves asked where the ordinance specifically addresses the concentration of offenders and if there was a potential that even with the ordinance there could be new homes built that could bring the City's numbers up. Mr. Boganey responded that it is extremely unlikely that the numbers would expand. Mayor Willson stated that the City could have an area that has a higher number of offenders, but there is a need to avoid an exclusionary ordinance. Councilmember Graves stated that she doesn't want to see a particular community that already bears the brunt of disparity impacted by high concentrations of offenders. 02/22/16 -11- Mayor Willson stated that he shares that concern and stated that the City's affordable housing is attractive to agencies across the metro. City Attorney Gilchrist stated that the State Statute mandates that the proximity to schools should be considered and the proximity to other offenders should be considered. He said the hope is that would be considered. Councilmember Graves asked if it was in the ordinance. City Attorney Gilchrist replied that the proximity to other offenders is not addressed in the ordinance. Mayor Willson stated that if it looks like the concentration of offenders is not being enforced and it looks like there is a high concentration in an individual area, the City will address it. Mr. Boganey stated that if the City Council is interested in language regarding the distance between predatory offenders, it could be added to the ordinance as an amendment. Councilmembers agreed that they would like that language added to the ordinance. Motion passed unanimously. 11.
