Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Interim Assistant to the City Manager Reggie Edwards, Public Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel, Deputy Director of Building and Community Standards Jesse Anderson, City Attorney Troy Gilchrist, and Michaela Kuj awa-Daniels, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Councilmember Graves requested the following correction to the Regular Session minutes of June 13, 2016: Page 9, 3rd Paragraph: Add June 6, 2016: City Council Joint Work Session with Financial Commission, under Councilmember Grave's Council report. It was the majority consensus of the City Council to accept the correction to the June 13, 2016, Regular Session Council minutes. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson requested discussion on Item 6h, Resolution Accepting Bid and Awarding a Contract, Improvement Project No. 2016-13, Contract 16-I, Water Tower No. 3 Reconditioning, in particular the Council Item Memorandum. She stated she has concerns regarding the past OSHA violations that V&T Painting, LLC had, specifically that two men died from a fall on October 24, 2014. She asked if there is any background info on the other bidders to compare with V&T Painting, LLC. City Manager Boganey replied there is no background information on the other bidders because the background check is only completed once the vendor is chosen to be the final bidder. Mayor Willson noted there are safety concerns with any company doing this type of work. He noted the unfortunate accident that led to a death which occurred on the US Bank Viking Stadium project last year. 06/27/16 -1- DRAFT Mr. Lillehaug replied each bidder has their own safety standards and the City has their own standards they set. He stated they are confident that V&T Painting, LLC is capable of completing the project based on the City's standards. He noted the bidder is insured and bonded and that speaks highly of their work. Councilmember Ryan requested discussion on Item 9a, Resolution Regarding the Disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 2016-003 Submitted by Senior Housing Partners, for Site and Building Plan Approval of a New 34-Unit, Senior Independent Living Apartment Facility on the Maranatha Senior Living Community Campus (Located at 5401- 69th Avenue North), in particular he is wondering why the recommendation from the Planning Commission states to add 14 parking spaces in their plan and noted the memo to staff regarding the proposed plan states they recommend adding 9 parking spaces. He asked for clarification on what the correct number of parking spaces is that the Planning Commission recommends. Mr. Boganey stated the Planning Commission recommended 14 parking spaces or the number that can be accommodated. He noted that is why the initial recommendation from the Planning Commission states 14 parking spaces and the memo states 9 additional parking spaces. He stated that staff supports whatever the City Council and Planning Commission recommend. MISCELLANEOUS Meeting with Congressman Ellison Mayor Willson requested discussion on the proposed meeting with Congressman Ellison, regarding the letter Mr. Boganey distributed to Councilmembers. Councilmembers reviewed their schedules and it was the consensus of the Council that July 26, 2016, at noon will work for meeting with Congressman Ellison. Mr. Boganey asked Councilmembers if there were specific items they would like put on the agenda for the meeting. Councilmember Ryan stated he sent a memo with some items for the meeting agenda that would help keep them on point for important things they want to discuss on some level with Congressman Ellison. Mayor Willson agreed and noted with the short meeting time they will want to stay on point. Mr. Boganey stated he will put an agenda together with the main topics and points they want to discuss and give it to the Council to review at their next meeting. He noted he will let the Council know when they have a location for the meeting with Congressman Ellison set as well. DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS Electronic Meeting Packets Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson noted that the City is looking at moving to paperless packet reports. She noted she feels it would be a great thing to do, however, the City will need to take extra security measures to ensure there are no breaches of security when that time comes and having the IT department oversee this would be greatly beneficial. Mr. Boganey stated that item is one of the things Mr. Edwards is working on and if it is agreed upon in the future it can be 06/27/16 -2- DRAFT used at the Dias. Councilmember Myszkowski noted she did advocate for those Councilmembers who are not comfortable using that type of IT equipment and stated that in those cases people should have an alternative option. Mayor Willson thanked Councilmember Myszkowski for voicing those concerns. Posting to Social Media Councilmember Graves stated she was informed that the City Council is not allowed to post to social media. She asked for clarification on this topic. Mr. Boganey replied stating as a general rule staff is not allowed to post items regarding the City to social media sites, he noted doing such is not a means of official communication. Mayor Willson stated the City Council needs to be very careful about what they post and where. He noted the City website is regulated and announcements and official statements can be posted there. He stated if anyone has something to share going through that process is the best course of action. ADJOURNMENT Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to close the Study Session at 6:31 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 06/27/16 -3- DRAFT MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER IN THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN AND THE STATE OF MINNESOTA REGULAR SESSION JUNE 27 2016 CITY HALL - COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1. 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. ROLL CALL Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmembers April Graves, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Lin Myszkowski, and Dan Ryan. Also present were City Manager Curt Boganey, Interim Assistant to the City Manager Reggie Edwards, Public Works Director/City Engineer Steve Lillehaug, Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel, Deputy Director of Building and Community Standards Jesse Anderson, City Attorney Troy Gilchrist, and Michaela Kujawa-Daniels, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. Mayor Tim Willson opened the meeting for the purpose of Informal Open Forum. Randy Christensen, 7061 Regent Avenue North, addressed the Council regarding two separate items. The first item he addressed is a place called "Good Grocer" located in Minneapolis, which started as a food shelf where people volunteered to help bag and bring items to people's cars. It evolved into an actual store front much like a co-op where community members can get a discount by working once a month at the store as a volunteer. He stated it is a great place that the community members can get fresh produce and other grocery essentials at a good price. He stated it would be nice to see if this is something they can bring to Brooklyn Center at some point given the majority of the community is lower income. He stated he volunteers at the Minneapolis based store himself and believes it is a great model to look at. Mayor Willson stated the store sounds like a great place and said he would definitely pay the store a visit and will keep this in mind for future businesses to bring to Brooklyn Center. The Councilmembers all agreed it sounds like a great idea to look into. The second item Mr. Christensen addressed with Council was that the water in his home seems to have a very strong chlorine smell and taste. He stated he is aware that the City has been working on this issue with the new water-plant and noted based on that it may already be a work in progress but he wanted to make sure it was noted in his location it is an issue currently. 06/27/16 4- DRAFT Mayor Willson replied asking Mr. Christensen if he would be opposed to someone from the City coming out and taking notice of the issue at his home. Mr. Christensen stated he is not opposed to that. Mr. Boganey stated it has been observed that the chlorine smell and taste has decreased substantially in most places within the City so he would like to review the issue and see what else can be done. He noted they haven't received any complaints or issues recently on this item however it could be that the issue was resolved in the majority of the City. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she hasn't had this issue firsthand; however, she has seen comments about this still being an issue on the "Friends of Brooklyn Center" Facebook page. Mr. Boganey replied he will look into this issue further. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to close the Informal Open Forum at 6:54 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 2.INVOCATION Councilmember Ryan requested a moment of silence and personal reflection as the Invocation. 3.CALL TO ORDER REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING The Brooklyn Center City Council met in Regular Session called to order by Mayor Tim Willson at 7:00 p.m. 4.ROLL CALL Mayor Tim Willson and Councilmembers April Graves, Kris Lawrence-Anderson, Lin Myszkowski, and Dan Ryan.

RESOLUTION NO. 2016-97 REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2016-003 SUBMITTED BY SENIOR HOUSING PARTNERS, FOR SITE AND BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL OF A NEW 34-UNIT, SENIOR INDEPENDENT LIVING APARTMENT FACILITY ON THE MARANATHA SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY CAMPUS (LOCATED AT 5401 - 69TH AVENUE NORTH) Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel provided an overview of Planning Commission Application No. 2016-003 and advised the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application at its May 26, 2016, meeting. Mayor Willson stated he believes the resolution should be amended to state "9 parking spaces" instead of the currently stated "14 parking spaces". He stated the resolution should be consistent to the actual number they intend to put into the space and noted if there is only room for 9 parking spaces than that is what it should state. Mr. Bitel agreed stating they can amend the resolution to indicate only 9 parking spaces will be added. 06/27/16 -6- DRAFT Councilmember Graves asked why the majority of the units they are adding are 2-bedrooms. John Mehrkens with Senior Housing Partners and Presbyterian Homes came forward and replied that the addition of 2-bedroom units is to allow couples in the early stages of transitional housing to have that extra space. He stated it allows people to have space for visitors and separate rooms if they wish. He noted they don't allow long term visitors to occupy the units but visitors are allowed for a period of time. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to approve Planning Commission Application No. 2016-003 Regarding the Disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 2016-003 Submitted by Senior Housing Partners, for Site and Building Plan Approval of a New 34-Unit, Senior Independent Living Apartment Facility on the Maranatha Senior Living Community Campus (Located at 5401 - 69th Avenue North) as amended to state 9 parking spaces instead of 14. Motion passed unanimously. 9b. RESOLUTION NO. 2016-77 REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2016-007 SUBMITTED BY ERIC T. DECKER, FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT APPROVAL OF A SPECIAL HOME OCCUPATION ALLOWING A PERSONAL FITNESS TRAINING BUSINESS AS A HOME-BASED BUSINESS IN THE R-1 ONE FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT (LOCATED AT 4206 WOODBINE LANE NORTH) Director of Business and Development Gary Eitel provided an overview of Planning Commission Application No. 2016-007 and advised the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application at its June 16, 2016, meeting. Mayor Willson stated he is concerned regarding the possible conflict between Planning Commission Recommendation No. 7 and No. 14. He stated if there is a way to specifically list a noise measurement then that would be better to ensure compliance. Mr. Bitel replied stating they can use the MPCA noise standards to be more specific. Mayor Willson stated he believes the resolution should state the number of clients allowed on site at the same time, which is set at three people in the Planning Commission application. He noted No. 14 of the recommendations allows up to ten people on site, so if the City is imposing a three client limit on the site at the same time then, they should update the resolution to state that specifically. Councilmember Ryan asked for input from City Attorney Gilchrist on the issue. Attorney Gilchrist stated he believes No. 14 of the recommendations is a fail-safe condition. He stated if they want to be specific about a noise level from a legal standpoint having the specific requirements in the conditions is best. He stated it is up to the City Council how they prefer to state it. 06/27/16 -7- DRAFT Mr. Boganey stated No. 14 of the recommendations covers the City Code for noise levels and lays out what is acceptable as a City standard. He stated if a neighbor found the noise level coming from Mr. Decker's business was too loud then he would most likely be violating No. 7 not necessarily No. 14 of the recommendations and conditions, the difference being the severity and extent to which the noise is emanating. He stated having both these conditions in the resolution is fine as it helps ensure noise levels are respectful to neighbors as well as it applies the City Code to enforce even higher noise level violations should any occur. Councilmember Ryan stated Mr. Boganey explained that well and noted he is fine with both recommendations being laid out together in the resolution. He stated the Planning Commission covered all bases in his opinion. Mayor Willson agreed with his sentiments. Mayor Willson stated his only other concern is that he feels the limit of three clients being on site at the same time should be specifically stated in the resolution as it is stated in the Planning Commission application. Mr. Eitel stated he believed that approving the resolution is approving what his application states technically. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she feels they shouldn't impose further restrictions based on the fact that the street out front of Mr. Decker's proposed business allows for parking as well for additional clients. She stated she would like to ensure he can grow his business if he wishes to do so within the ten clients at a time limit allowed per the City Code. Councilmember Ryan agreed with her sentiments. Mr. Boganey asked Attorney Gilchrist if the Special Use Permit being sought for this business runs with the land or person. Attorney Gilchrist stated the permit remains with the land. He noted it would be difficult in the future to find a buyer for this property with all the requirements and restrictions imposed as a result of this permit. It was the consensus of the City Council to approve the application and adopt the resolution as currently written. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Myszkowski seconded to approve Planning Commission Application No. 2016-007 subject to the conditions set by Planning Commission and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2016-77 Regarding the Disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 2016-007 submitted by Eric T. Decker, for Special Use Permit Approval of a Special Home Occupation allowing a Personal Fitness Training Business as a Home-Based Business in the R-1 One Family Residence District (Located at 4206 Woodbine Lane North). Motion passed unanimously. 10.

She stated it will be a good addition to the City upon completion. Mr. Boganey stated he and Mr. Eitel share in the frustration due to the lack of progress to date on this project but noted the City and developer had no control over the situation. He stated in the past the funding for this project would have been easier to receive but now things have changed at the State level making it more difficult to obtain. He noted the changes at the State level created the set-back, which was a surprise to the City as well as he believes to the developer. Mayor Willson agreed with Mr. Boganey's sentiments and stated he is happy the project is underway now.

Background: A series of two public hearings are scheduled on July 11, 2016. The first hearing is to consider ordering improvements and authorize preparation of plans and specifications for Improvement Project No. 2016-06. The second hearing is to consider certification of proposed special assessments for street improvements for Improvement Project No. 2016-06. All potentially affected property owners have been notified by mail of the date of the public hearings and the amount of the proposed special assessments. I. Explanation of Improvements The proposed project includes roadway improvements for Freeway Boulevard between Xerxes Avenue and the existing bridge over Shingle Creek. The project was previously established by the City Council on July 27, 2015, by Resolution 2015-118. On June 13, 2016, the City Council received the project feasibility report and called for a public hearing to be held on July 11, 2016, to consider these improvements. The project feasibility report provides a description of the recommended improvements for the street and an estimated project budget. The proposed improvements are as follows: 1.Street Improvements - The recommend street improvements include street resurfacing rehabilitation (mill and overlay) of the existing pavement, miscellaneous repairs of sidewalk, miscellaneous repairs of concrete curb and gutter and driveway aprons and boulevard restoration. 2.Storm Drainage Improvements - The recommended storm sewer improvements include replacing catch basin castings as necessary.

H. Summary ofAssessmen/s Special assessments are proposed as one of several funding sources for the improvements located within the Freeway Boulevard project area. The feasibility report includes a preliminary assessment roll identifying approximately three industrial properties that are zoned 'Ii" and six planned unit development properties that are zones "PUD/Il". Special assessments for street improvements are proposed in accordance with the City's Assessment Policy. The commercial/industrial properties on Freeway Boulevard would be assessed based on an acreage basis. An "A" zone of benefit was determined that included that area of all property abutting the street to be improved, extending to a depth of 200 feet or the property depth, whichever is less. A "B" zone of lesser benefit was established to identify the portion of the property which does not abut the improved roadway, but which accrues benefit. Based on preliminary cost estimates, the unit rates have been determined with an "A" zone rate of $0.2902 per square foot and a "B" zone rate of $0.1244 per square foot. See the attached revised Appendix C—Final Assessment Roll and Figure 2—Assessment Map from the project feasibility report. Public Comments A property owner may choose to appeal or object to a special assessment. If an owner files an appeal with the Clerk prior to the public hearing, or should any person appear at the hearing and object to an assessment, staff recommends that the City Council refer any substantive objections to staff for a report backto the City Council at a continued hearing. An example might be an issue whereby staff would need to research the history of a particular complaint, and assemble documentation. The City Council should consider removing the objection related assessment from the proposed levy roll and adopting the remaining proposed assessments. If an appeal for a specific property is actually filed with district court, the City Attorney will advise the City Council of options for handling the dispute and potential litigation issues. Public comments are included in the Feasibility Study (Appendix B). Payment Options Available to Property Owners Once an assessment roll is adopted by the City Council, the owner of each property has the following payment options: 1.Pay the entire amount of the special assessment, without interest, between July 12 and September 30, 2016. 2.From October 1, 2016, to the end of the business day on November 23, 2016, a property owner may pay the total assessment, with interest calculated from October 1, 2016, to the Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe, inclusive co,mnunitv that enhances the quality of life for all people and preserves the public trust [I1SJ[ IflI 1h'4 L'A I Dk'A (I) 1I )IIA'A I date of payment. 3.A property owner may pay the assessment over a 10-year period. The first payment will be due with taxes in 2017. The total principle will be payable in annual installments. Interest at 4.0 percent is paid on the unpaid balance. 4.Partial prepayments (such as paying half now and certifying the balance) are not allowed under the City's current assessment policy. III.

The applicant or representative has an opportunity to present evidence regarding the submitted Mitigation Plan. If the Council chooses to modify or disapprove the Mitigation Plan, it is recommended that the motion be to direct staff to prepare proposed findings for disapproval of the Mitigation Plan and notify the license applicant of any pending license actions to be taken at a subsequent Council Meeting. Background: This owner is applying for a new rental license. This is a single family property. This property qualifies for a Type IV Rental License based on seventeen (17) property code violations found during the initial rental license inspection. Staff from Administration, Building & Community Standards and Police Departments worked with the property owner regarding a mitigation plan, which requires Phase I, II and III of the Crime Free Housing Program, and other items included by City ordinance for a Type IV Rental License. A Mitigation Plan has been developed addressing the requirements of the ordinance and any issues specific to the property. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of the Type IV Rental License on condition of adherence to the Mitigation Plan. Please refer to the attached copy of the Mitigation Plan for more information. The following is a brief history of the license process actions: 05-24-2016 The Owner, Hesham Abdel Hakim, applied for an initial rental dwelling license for 7006 Morgan Ave N property. 05-30-2016 An initial rental license inspection was conducted. 17 property code violations were cited, see attached rental criteria. 06-17-2016 A second inspection was conducted and passed. 06-22-2016 A letter was sent to the owner(s) notifying of qualification for Type IV 6-Month Provisional Rental License, including additional requirements to obtain a rental license. I.e. submit mitigation plan, completion of Phases I, II, and III of Crime Free Housing Program, etc. 06-24-2016 A Mitigation Plan was submitted. Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe, inclusive community that enhances the quality of ilfe for all people and preserves the public trust [S[S1II[IJ IN U I DA S I k'A 0) 1WI WJA1 06-28-2016 The Mitigation Plan was finalized. 07-01-2016 A letter was sent to the owner notifying that the hearing before the Council will be held July 11, 2016. If approved, after six months, a new rental license is required. The license process will begin in approximately four months. The new license will be based on the property code violations found during the initial renewal license inspection and the number of validated police calls for services for disorderly activities and nuisances as defined in 12-911. The terms of the mitigation plan must also be met. Excerpt from Chapter 12 of City Code of Ordinances: Section 12-913. TYPE IV PROVISIONAL LICENSES. 1.Rental properties that meet the provisional licensing criteria as described in Section 12- 901 are eligible only for provisional licenses. 2.The City will provide by mail to each licensee a monthly report of any police and fire calls and incidents and applicable property Code violations as described in Section 12- 901. 3.Mitigation Plan. The applicant for a provisional license must submit for Council review a mitigation plan for the license period. The mitigation plan shall describe steps proposed by the applicant to reduce the number of police and fire calls and/or the property Code issues described in Section 12-901 and 12-911 to a level that qualifies for a Type I, II, or III license. The mitigation plan may include such steps as changes in tenant screening procedures, changes in lease terms, security measures, rules and regulations for tenant conduct, security personnel, and time frame to implement all phases of the Crime Free Housing Program. 4.Council Consideration. The application with a proposed mitigation plan will be presented to the City Council together with a recommendation by the City Manager or the Manager's designee as to the disposition thereof. After giving the applicant an opportunity to be heard and present evidence, the Council shall approve, disapprove, or approve with conditions the application and the mitigation plan. If the Council disapproves an application and mitigation plan or approves it with conditions, it shall state its reasons for so doing in writing. In evaluating a mitigation plan, the Council will consider, among other things, the facility, its management practices, the nature and seriousness of causes for police and fire incidences and/or property Code issues and the expected effectiveness of measures identified in the plan to reduce the number of police and fire incidences and/or property Code violations. In evaluating a mitigation plan submitted by an applicant already under a provisional license, the Council will also consider the effectiveness of measures identified in the applicant's previous mitigation plan and the need for different or additional measures to reduce police and fire incidences and/or property Code violations. Mission: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe, inclusive community that enhances the quality of life for all people and preserves the public trust [I[I1IJ[IJ I I I aIk LA I ak'A (I) UI I1IJhYA I 5. Compliance with Mitigation Plan. The licensee shall comply with the mitigation plan as approved or modified by the Council. No later than the tenth day after each calendar month, the licensee shall mail or deliver to the City Manager a written report describing all steps taken in furtherance of the mitigation plan during the preceding month. Rental License Category Criteria Policy - Adopted by City Council 03-08-10 1.Determining License Categories. License categories are based on property code and nuisance violations noted during the initial or renewal license inspection or for a category verification inspection, along with excessive validated police service calls occurring over a year. License categories are performance based and more accurately depict the condition of the property and the City costs of service. 2.Fees. Fee amounts are determined by the costs of the city to license, inspect, monitor and work with the property to ensure category conditions are met. License fees do not include reinspection fees, late fees, charges for criminal or civil enforcement actions, or other penalties. 3.Category Conditions. The licensee or designated agent must meet the category conditions in the time period specified by the City. A licensee must meet all original conditions required by the License Category, even if a subsequent license category is achieved. 4.License Category Criteria. a. Property Code and Nuisance Violations. Property code violation rates will be based on the average number of property code violations per unit identified during the licensing inspection or category verification inspection. Property code violations for purposes of determining licensing categories shall include violations of property code and nuisances as defined in Chapter 12, 19, 7 and other applicable local ordinances. The City may, upon complaints or reasonable concerns that the establishment no longer complies with the license category criteria, perform a category verification inspection to the same standards as the license renewal inspection as indicated below. Inspections will be conducted in conjunction with established department policies. In cases where 100% of the units are not inspected, the minimum inspection standards will be established as follows: • At least 75% of units will be inspected for properties with 15 or less units.

The applicant or representative has an opportunity to present evidence regarding the submitted Mitigation Plan. If the Council chooses to modify or disapprove the Mitigation Plan, it is recommended that the motion be to direct staff to prepare proposed findings for disapproval of the Mitigation Plan and notify the license applicant of any pending license actions to be taken at a subsequent Council Meeting. Background: This owner is applying for a renewal rental license. This is a single family property. The previous license was a Type IV Rental License issued on May 23, 2016, on condition of adherence to the Mitigation Plan and City Ordinances. The property would qualify for a Type I Rental License based on zero (0) property code violations found during the initial rental inspection and zero (0) validated police nuisance incidents for the past twelve months. However, the owner failed to comply with the Mitigation Plan and applicable Ordinances, specifically failed to attend Owners/Managers Association Meetings. According to City Ordinances, if the requirements of the license category and the Mitigation Plan are not met, the license renewal category remains a Type IV. City Ordinance Section 12-901.2 requires a licensee of a Type IV Rental Property to complete Phase II of the Crime Free Housing Program. City Ordinance Section 12-914.3.c requires an owner (or authorized representative) to attend a minimum of 50 percent of Owners/Managers Association Meetings.

The license process will begin in approximately four months. The new license will be based on the property code violations found during the initial renewal license inspection and the number of validated police calls for services for disorderly activities and nuisances as defined in 12-911. The terms of the mitigation plan must also be met. Excerpt from Chapter 12 of City Code of Ordinances: Section 12-913. TYPE IV PROVISIONAL LICENSES. 1.Rental properties that meet the provisional licensing criteria as described in Section 12- 901 are eligible only for provisional licenses. 2.The City will provide by mail to each licensee a monthly report of any police and fire calls and incidents and applicable property Code violations as described in Section 12- 901. 3.Mitigation Plan. The applicant for a provisional license must submit for Council review a mitigation plan for the license period. The mitigation plan shall describe steps proposed by the applicant to reduce the number of police and fire calls and/or the property Code issues described in Section 12-901 and 12-911 to a level that qualifies for a Type I, II, or III license. The mitigation plan may include such steps as changes in tenant screening procedures, changes in lease terms, security measures, rules and regulations for tenant conduct, security personnel, and time frame to implement all phases of the Crime Free Housing Program. 4.Council Consideration. The application with a proposed mitigation plan will be presented to the City Council together with a recommendation by the City Manager or the Manager's designee as to the disposition thereof. After giving the applicant an opportunity to be heard and present evidence, the Council shall approve, disapprove, or approve with conditions the application and the mitigation plan. If the Council disapproves an application and mitigation plan or approves it with conditions, it shall state its reasons for so doing in writing. In evaluating a mitigation plan, the Council will consider, among other things, the facility, its management practices, the nature and seriousness of causes for police and fire incidences and/or property Code issues and the expected effectiveness of measures identified in the plan to reduce the number of police and fire incidences and/or property Code violations. In evaluating a mitigation plan submitted by an applicant already under a provisional license, the Council will also consider the effectiveness of measures identified in the applicant's previous mitigation plan and the need for different or additional measures to reduce police and fire incidences and/or property Code violations. Compliance with Mitigation Plan. The licensee shall comply with the mitigation plan as approved or modified by the Council.

Rental License Category Criteria Policy - Adopted by City Council 03-08-10 1.Determining License Categories. License categories are based on property code and nuisance violations noted during the initial or renewal license inspection or for a category verification inspection, along with excessive validated police service calls occurring over a year. License categories are performance based and more accurately depict the condition of the property and the City costs of service. 2.Fees. Fee amounts are determined by the costs of the city to license, inspect, monitor and work with the property to ensure category conditions are met. License fees do not include reinspection fees, late fees, charges for criminal or civil enforcement actions, or other penalties. 3.Category Conditions. The licensee or designated agent must meet the category conditions in the time period specified by the City. A licensee must meet all original conditions required by the License Category, even if a subsequent license category is achieved. 4.License Category Criteria. a. Property Code and Nuisance Violations. Property code violation rates will be based on the average number of property code violations per unit identified during the licensing inspection or category verification inspection. Property code violations for purposes of determining licensing categories shall include violations of property code and nuisances as defined in Chapter 12, 19, 7 and other applicable local ordinances. The City may, upon complaints or reasonable concerns that the establishment no longer complies with the license category criteria, perform a category verification inspection to the same standards as the license renewal inspection as indicated below. Inspections will be conducted in conjunction with established department policies. In cases where 100% of the units are not inspected, the minimum inspection standards will be established as follows: • At least 75% of units will be inspected for properties with 15 or less units. • At least 25% of units, to include a minimum of 12 units, will be inspected for properties with 16 or more units.

Background: In March of 2015 the Council adopted the City's 2016-2018 Strategic Plan, which included six strategic priorities (Attachment A). One specific strategic priority identified in the plan is "Resident Economic Stability". In the plan "Resident Economic Stability" is described as being, "essential to vibrant neighborhoods and to retail, restaurant, and business growth ". In the plan it is further stated that the City will lead in this area by, "supporting collaborative efforts of education, business, and government sectors to improve opportunities for residents ". In March of 2016, the City entered into an agreement with the Everybody In, Inc. to research and report on economic equity within the City, facilitate community and business dialogue on promising economic strategies, and to assist in developing and monitoring related strategic actions. The intended results of the efforts will be to: A.Enhance the capacity of minority businesses to successfully start, grow, and sustain themselves in the city and region, as well as hire more local talent as they grow; B.Strengthen the college to career pipeline by partnering with area higher education institutions and workforce development organizations to make sure the young talent growing up in Brooklyn Center is capably prepared to be prosperous locally and offer civic leadership to boost the horizon of the incoming generation of young people after them; and C.Address the policy opportunities and constraints that either support or impede movement toward racial equity and keep a vigorous eye on how policy can help close racial equity gaps and promote shared prosperity in the region; and D.Organize key city stakeholders, including the private sector and government, with higher education, non-profits, faith-based institutions, and community associations to collectively define and lead an effort on economic stability in the City. An assessment of the City's socioeconomic profile (Attachment B) has been conducted. The assessment will be followed by an engagement of community leaders in a dialogue regarding the meaning and implications of the profile report. i'Iissioii: Ensuring an attractive, clean, safe, inclusive community that enhances time quality of life for all people and preserves time public trims!

As a "first ring", small suburb, the city has some unique challenges and opportunities in this time of changing demographics. Minnesota's populations of color are increasing dramatically while our labor force is shrinking due to retiring baby boomers. There is an urgency to address the full utilization of Minnesota's talent pool in order to prepare ourselves for this change. The City of Brooklyn Center has taken a bold step to begin the process of analyzing its strengths and areas of opportunity in order to prepare to meet the needs of the changing demographics in the upcoming decades. The purpose of this report is to look at baseline indicators of the city's education, workforce, and business landscape. The target groups we will be taking a look at are communities of color, women, and generation type. Data indicators for each target group will revolve around three main topic areas: demographics, education, and economic vitality. The analysis and insights provided in this report are a result of preliminary data provided from valid sources such as the Department of Employment B Economic Development, the Minnesota Department of Education, Metropolitan Council, Survey of Business Owners, and the American Community Survey and other census data tools. We close with a synopsis framed in terms of risks, resilience, innovation, and strategy. The intention here is to use these four themes as guideposts for our dialogues with you throughout this year. The four questions: • What risk factors may impede the City's committed progress to racial equity? • What resilience factors are in place, that, if amplified allow advances in equity realization? • What innovations are proposed for consideration that help the City of Brooklyn Center be both an exemplar among cities of its size around the nation, and a catalyst for equitable opportunity within the Twin Cities metropolitan region? and • What strategies are suggested as next critical steps in the journey toward equity in the city and region? 3 Everybody In is a super connector to change, created to eliminate the racial employment gap in the St. Paul/Minneapolis seven-county metro area. everybodyinmn.orcj fiI'j' InItTo Win R DEMOGRAPHICS Race/Ethnicity Over half of Brooklyn Center residents are persons of color, with the majority being Black or African American.

From 2000-2013, Brooklyn Center was among cities that experienced the largest net increase in residents of color with 8,000 or more. The majority of the increase came from Black (58%), Asian (23%), and the Latino population (18%)2 . The trend of increasing populations of color has been prevalent in Brooklyn Center since the 1980s. As the total population increases over time, the city will continue to see the trend of increasing populations of color. If the region's current pattern of persistent employment and asset disparities persist, this will likely have a downward effect on earnings and assets of the population overall, within the city over the next 20 years. County and State comparison: Race/Ethnic Populations • Brooklyn Center has more than double the share of Black or African American and Asian residents than Hennepin County. • Brooklyn Center has almost six times the share of Black or African American residents, almost four times the share of Asian residents, and two times the share of Hispanic (of any race) residents than the state overall. o The share of American Indian & Alaskan Native, Some other race, and two or more races are similar ( across Brooklyn Center, Hennepin County, and Minnesota.

Although the top industries reported by employers in Brooklyn Center are Trade, Transportation and Utilities, Education and Health Services, and Manufacturing, the top five occupations reported by residents do not fully fall within those industries. One out of five residents are either in Management, Business, Science, and Arts, Sales and Office, Service, or Production, Transportation, and Material Moving occupations (Table 6). Table 6.

An '- entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in (ACP) in 2010-2014. This means that 56% of residents are making 185% below the poverty level at $44,826 for a family of four.3 The highest total wages going out to workers from Brooklyn Center employers are directly correlated with the city's top 3 industries. Manufacturing brings in the most wages at 26%, a quarter of total wages flowing out. However, we don't high total wages from industries that are reported from Brooklyn Center residents. This means that wages are being paid to non-residents who work in Brooklyn Center. Whereas Professional and Business Services is Hennepin County's top wage paying industry and Minnesota's second top wage paying industry. (Table 8).

Business Development & Growth. From the U.S. Census Bureau's 2012 Survey of Business Owners, Brooklyn Center has a total of 2,132 firms (Table 9). About 41% of those firms are minority-owned firms. Over 90% of minority-owned firms have no paid employees, which is also experienced by female-owned firms. This is a 10 percentage point difference compared to all firms, white firms, and male-owned firms. 23 Everybody In is a super connector to change, created to eliminate the racial emplc`yrr ,,ent gap in the St. Paul/Minneapolis seven-county metro area, everybodyinmtiorg In It To Win It TKle' q Flrnnklvn Cntr Riicinesses Characteristics. 2012 Firms, withe AF Firms Firm's with Paid Employees Paid Em4oyes Total Total Sales of #of Sales o f .#ofPaid Annual #of Sales of Firms#of Firms Firms Firms Firms ($1 ,000s)Employees Payroll Firms ($1 ,000s)($1,000s) All Firms 2,132 1,962,261 414 1,917,965 10,548 434,681 1,718 44,296 Minority-owned 882 99,372 82 83,747 1,176 17,106 800 15,624 Firms Black or African 464 24,462 20 16,654 431 4,707 443 7,808 American A s i an *406 71,558 77 66,278 723 12,043 328 5,281 Other Asian 211 40,584 19 38,272 290 4,671 192 2,312 Hi s p an i c **151 5,188 4 S 20-99 S 146 4,372 Some other race 43 882 0 0 0 0 43 882 White 1,211 804,899 225 773,890 3,282 141,757 987 31,010 Female-owned 756 48,654 51 38,703 487 10,033 706 9,951 Male-owned 1,166 834,990 224 803,698 3,742 143,395 943 31,292 Equally Female/Male-97 17,474 28 14,420 207 5,079 69 3,054 owned Detail may not add to total due to rounding or because a Hispanic firm may be of any race.

Census Bureau, 2012 Survey of Business Owners Similar to the Brooklyn Center's top industries, minority-owned firms are concentrated in Retail Trade, Health Care and Social Assistance, and Transportation and Warehousing (Figure 16). In contrast, the majority of minority-owned firms produce other services. According to the Survey of Business Owners, other services is defined by activities such as equipment and machinery repairing, promoting or administering religion activities, grantmaking, advocacy, and providing drycleaning and Laundry services, personal care services, death care services, pet care services, photofinishing services, temporary parking services, and dating services. These firms are largely firms without paid employees. Minority-owned firms with paid employees are in Health Care and Social Assistance, Accommodation and Food Services, and Wholesale Trade. The presence of minority-owned firms in Educational Services, Real Estate and Rental and Leasing, Finance and Insurance, and Manufacturing appears non-existent. 24 Everybody In is a super connector to change, created to eliminate the racial employment gap in the St Paul/Minneapolis seven-county metro area. everyhodyiiimn.org In It To Win It Figure 16.

Minority-owned firms more than doubled in growth and sales in all firms and in firms without paid employees. This pattern of minority-firm growth is also occurring in the state .4 There was not enough data for minority- owned firms with paid employees in 2007 to show growth up until 2012. While there wasn't enough data for race/ethnic groups, there was data for Hispanic-owned firms, which quadrupled in numbers and made ten times the amount of sales in 5 years. Although there wasn't enough data for race/ethnic groups in 2007, there was data for these groups in 2012 (see Table 10). This shows that there has been a great amount of recent growth among minority-owned firms. The next set of data will not be available until 2017, when the Survey of Business Owners is conducted again. Female-owned firms increased by total numbers but decreased in total sales for firms with paid employees. Interestingly, male-owned firms decreased in total numbers but did not decrease in total sales. In fact, total sales for male-owned firms with paid employees increased. The same pattern exists among white-owned firms, where total number of firms decreased but total sales increased. 4 Vilsack, R. (2015). Minority-owned firms in Minnesota.

Brooklyn Center will have to address any risks that could affect the city's growth and success in the upcoming decades. Specifically, as a small city with a large population of color already, as the regional labor force pattern changes, Brooklyn Center can serve as a leading indicator of the overall pattern in the region. This raises a research question to explore - how has the City's pattern of demographics and equity changed in comparison with that of the region as a whole? What opportunities exist in the City to be a leading indicator for reducing equity risk, and optimizing equitable opportunity? Education. Are Brooklyn Center schools successfully preparing students to be meet academic standards? Only half of students are meeting or exceeding academic standards. This means that 1 out of 2 students are falling behind in terms of achievement level. Brooklyn Center area school districts are performing just as well as Hennepin County in meeting academic standards but fall slightly behind the state's achievement level. Also, American Indian, Black or Africa American, and Hispanic or Latino students are consistently graduating are lower rates than the overall average. It is important to prepare students to meet the needs of future workforce and industry demand. Would a city-specific opportunity pipeline strategy make a difference? If we think it might, how do we go about constructing one or amplifying one in motion? Further, given that American Indian students are fairing worst in the City, how do we apply a targeted universalist strategy that boosts the performance and success of these students in a way that supports equitable success and thriving for all students? Economic Vitality. Is Brooklyn Center attracting and retaining a talented workforce? More Brooklyn Center residents are finding work in nearby cities, mainly Minneapolis and Brooklyn Park, rather than being employed in Brooklyn Center. The majority of the adult age working population has some college or associate/s degree while Hennepin County and the state's majority adult working population have a bachelor's degree or higher. Even more striking is that populations of color have lower rates of educational attainment, particularly among Some Other Race, Hispanic or Latino, and American Indian E Alaskan Native populations. Future jobs will require higher educational attainment 5 , which means Brooklyn Center will have to prepare residents for post- secondary attainment in order to remain competitive in the county and state. In addition, educational attainment is also linked to higher income, especially for populations of color.6 In this regard, Brooklyn Center is performing measurably worse than the County, and this data is strongly indicative of the need for a higher education and career pathways opportunity strategy. Firms of color are under-represented in Schriner, E. (2012). The Education Advantage. Minnesota Economic Trends, December.6 Leibert, A. (2015). Racial Disparities in Wage and Employment. Minnesota Economic Trends, December. 27 Everybody In is a super connector to change, created to eliminate the racist emnloyrnenl gap in the St. Paul/Minneapolis seven-county metro area everybodyiti ill norg Y In It To Win It leading sectors of regional economy and a boost strategy within the City and across the region offers a very significant mutual thriving dividend. The majority of jobs in Retail trade, the top industry in Brooklyn Center, are non-managerial with lower wages and less post-secondary credential requirements. Those employed as cashiers and retail salesperson are making less than $11 /hour in Minnesota, according to DEED's Occupational Employment Statistics data. How might Brooklyn Center go about designing a viable labor force shift/share strategy to ensure its proportion of living wage work matches or exceeds that of the region as a whole? The Black/African American unemployment rate will also have to be addressed as they make up a large portion of Brooklyn Center's residents and labor force. There is not enough data for American Indians in Brooklyn Center, but we can see that they have the highest unemployment rate throughout Hennepin County and Minnesota. Brooklyn Center's youth also have high unemployment rates. As our future workforce, it is now more important than ever to connect youth to the workforce as Minnesota's labor force shrinks in the following decades. Resilience Factors Education. Brooklyn Center schools districts are diverse and have been able to maintain its diversity. Academically, students are performing just as well as the county and not too far behind the state. Students are also graduating at higher rates than Hennepin County, especially among American Indian students. What is Brooklyn Center area schools doing differently than the county and state that could possibly contribute to the city's high graduation rates? In addition, the city continues to attract Millennials that are non-family households and married couples with children and thus creating an environment that is well suited for Pre-K to 12th grade. Economic Vitality. Historically, Brooklyn Center has been a center for Retail Trade, Manufacturing, and Health Care and Social Assistance that are in-demand industries in the Twin Cities region. The city continues to attract a Labor force market and bring in wages within those three industries. Revitalized developments where Brookdale Mall used to be, now known as Shingle Creek Crossing, and new developments such as the Embassy Suites, Northwest Family Service Center and the Federal Bureau of Investigation office in Brooklyn Center are examples of resilience that continues to bring in jobs within those top three industries. As the workforce ages, Brooklyn Center may be wet[ prepared to assist retiring residents and workers. Brooklyn Center, just recently, has been a hub for minority-firm growth, mainly among entrepreneurs. What could be contributing to this growth? Does Brooklyn Center have systems in place that helps these firms grow in size and capacity? 28 Everybody In is a super connector to change, created to eliminate the racial employment gap in the SI. Paul./Minneapolis seven-county metro area. everybody inm n .org In It To Win It What is the economic vision of Brooklyn Center? Based on that vision, what opportunities exist to shape an economic development strategy that bridges enterprise development, workforce development, and overall economic vitality in the City? Innovation Education. Brooklyn Center schools are highly diverse. This is an area of opportunity for the city to utilize diversity as an asset to enhance academic performance and enrich the community. The city is also at an advantage to prepare its diverse community to understand the needs of the future workforce. Partnerships with neighboring cities and programs could be valuable as a smaller city, such as Brooklyn Center and Brooklyn Park's joint youth initiative. In addition, more can be learned about the race/ethnic populations in Brooklyn Center to learn more about current barriers and educational needs in order for students to be successful, especially in a diverse environment. Economic Vitality. Is there is a direct talent pipeline to employment in Brooklyn Center? Does a career pathway strategy already exist? There is opportunity to advance its skilled workforce towards post-secondary attainment through a career pathways model. If area education institutions and the many businesses in Brooklyn Center align, a clear pathway can be developed. For example, a pipeline and pathway can be developed for workers to continue to meet the demands of the Manufacturing industry which is a prominent industry in Brooklyn Center. Since there is high unemployment among the younger working population in the city, creative partnerships and initiatives will be needed to connect youth to work. There is a great potential in Brooklyn Center for workforce and business development. There is a growing young workforce who will be replacing Baby Boomers and looking for jobs. Going back to the vision question posed earlier, how does the City strategically leverage its role in the regional economic innovation ecosystem? What opportunities exist to continually strengthen our leverage while reducing existing impediments to being a regional leader in innovation? Strategy Brooklyn Center is small, diverse, and not in an ideal position within the region to drive an internal growth strategy based on existing competitive advantages. We invite the City to consider framing the future starting with its greater diversity than the region as a whole as strength. In this way, Brooklyn Center becomes a keystone City in the region's racial equity movement. As the City develops and demonstrates the value proposition of leading with equity, the rest of the region learns and follows suit. A small percentage of residents currently work in the city, so increasing opportunities for enterprise and workforce development within the City set conditions for it to grow in a mutual prosperous, inside-out fashion. 29 Everybody In is a super connector to change, created lo eliminate the racial employment gap in the St. Paul/Minneapolis seven-county metro area. everybodyinrnn,org In It To Win It Over the coming months, we would like to build on this initial baseline and engage in developmental dialogue with key stakeholders and design and implement a strategy to shape a future for the City that shows the region and the nation how to do equity right.
