ORDINANCES ADDING SECTIONS 23-2400 THROUGH 23-2414 REQUIRING
LICENSES FOR TRANSIENT ACCOMMODATIONS
Police Chief Tim Gannon introduced the item, and invited Sergeant Toohey forward to provide a
presentation stating the history and purpose of the proposed ordinance.
Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson stated she thinks issuing parking passes is a great idea. She
noted that they have ARM meetings for apartments and is wondering if they can require
something like this for the owners of the hotels. Sergeant Toohey stated they do have something
similar; they have quarterly meetings with the hotel owners and management to address any
issues and concerns.
Mayor Willson stated he thinks this Ordinance fits into the image they want in the city, making it
safer and better.
Councilmember Ryan asked if it is fair to say that this issue isn't unique to Brooklyn Center.
Sergeant Toohey stated he doesn't have the data, but subjectively he doesn't believe it is unique
to Brooklyn Center. He stated all cities have some issues within their hotels. He noted however,
that Brooklyn Center's violations and incidents are higher than most other cities.
11/28/16 -4-
City Manager Boganey stated some of the hotels are not currently modeling this Ordinance
because their upper management will not allow them to do so unless there is an Ordinance on
this issue. He stated he believes most want to implement such an Ordinance and will support it
once it is in place.
Mayor Willson stated there is a best practices model that this is based off of. Mr. Boganey stated
it is important to note that six of nine hotels in Brooklyn Center are great hotels with minimal
issues and that it is the three hotels that they are trying to get their attention to create better
businesses for visitors and residents of Brooklyn Center.
Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Graves seconded to open the Public Hearing.
Motion passed unanimously.

Mr. O'Hara asked if they can do something regarding the plowing that occurs every winter
which is plowed onto their property and then the pavement has to be redone frequently as a
result. Mayor Willson asked Mr. Boganey to look into this issue.
Mr. O'Hara asked if the City has any plans to do something regarding the basketball court
adjacent to his house. He stated there are usually kids using bad language out there and leaving
garbage all over. He stated he would like to see the basketball court removed and a parking lot
installed to provide more parking for the area, which he noted is often an issue. Mayor Willson
stated they are aware there have been issues at that court and it has been discussed with Park and
Recreation Department and it has been decided to leave it there currently. Mayor Willson noted
that decision could change in the future though.
Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson seconded to close the
