Officer Nordby stated the Explorers participate in two annual competitions – a 4-day state competition in Rochester in April, and a 2-day competition in Duluth in November. He added the primary objective of the Explorers program is to teach kids life skills, boost their confidence, provide opportunities for public interaction, and career guidance. Officer Nordby stated many CSO’s are former Explorers. He introduced the Explorers who were present at the meeting and invited them to address the City Council. William N kata stated he is 19 years old, and in his fourth year with the Explorers.

Councilmember Graves asked whether there is a process for the Explorers to transfer their time and service into post-secondary credits toward a criminal justice degree. She asked whether the program has received feedback from the Explorers about their involvement with police officers, and how to retain them. She asked whether the program is connected to the Brooklynk student job preparation and internships program. Officer Nordby stated he is hoping to start a scholarship program sponsored by local businesses that would be based on the number of years that an Explorer has participated in the program. He added many Explorers want to become Brooklyn Center Police Officers, and the program itself is its own retention. 04/22/19 -8- DRAFT Officer Nordby stated the Explorers Program is not involved with Brooklynk, but he would be interested in reviewing that possibility. Councilmember Graves stated it might be a way to give the Explorers compensation for their time. Councilmember Ryan thanked the Explorers and Officer Nordby. He added he supports this progressive concept for engaging the City’s youth and offered to help in pursuing scholarship funding. He noted every effort should be made to support this program. Mr. Edwards stated the City will have a total of 19 Brooklynk interns this summer, including two interns in the Police Department and one intern in the Fire Department.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-072 AMENDING LEVY NO. 20163 AND CERTIFYING AMENDED SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NOS. 2018-08 AND 2019-05, BELLVUE AND SOUTHEAST AREA MILL AND OVERLAY IMPROVEMENTS TO HENNEPIN COUNTY TAX ROLLS City Engineer Mike Albers reviewed this item, stating two public hearings were held at the City Council’s April 8, 2019, Regular Meeting. He added the City Council adopted a resolution ordering improvements and authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications for the Bellevue and Southeast Area Mill and Overlay project. He noted a second public hearing was held, and special assessments were approved except two properties that were removed from the assessment roll: 5328 Irving Avenue N and 5501 Irving Avenue N. Mr. Albers stated a letter was received from the property owner of 5328 Irving Avenue before the public hearing. He added the property was last assessed in 1999 for street improvements. He noted City Staff recommends that this property remains on the assessment roll, as the property is responsible for its share of assessments due to benefits that will be received from the proposed street improvements. Mr. Albers stated the property owner of 5501 Irving Avenue objected to the assessment based on the fact that the property should not be sub-dividable considering the age and significance of the house on the property. He added the property does not have any restrictions that would prevent subdivision. He noted City Staff recommends that this property remains on the assessment roll. Mr. Albers stated the property owners have the right to appeal the City Council’s decision in District Court under Minnesota State Statute. He added City Staff recommends adoption of the resolution amending Levy No. 120163. Mayor Elliott asked whether property owners will receive notification of the City Council’s decision. Mr. Albers stated City Staff could send them a letter of notification. Councilmember Graves requested a review of the City’s Special Assessment Policy. She added the City Council could discuss a work session. She expressed concern that a landlord in the R-4 district only pays one assessment for a multi-family property. Mayor Elliott asked why properties are assessed the same amount regardless of how much street frontage they have. He added he has questions about this principle. 04/22/19 -11- DRAFT Mr. Gilchrist stated this assessment is not based on street frontage but rather the fact that the lot is sub-dividable. He encouraged the City Council to be consistent with the existing special assessment policy and recommendations of City Staff. Mayor Elliott stated he agrees that the City Council should be consistent in adhering to the special assessment policy, but he would like to have a review and discussion of the policy at a City Council work session. Councilmember Graves moved and Councilmember Ryan seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2019-072 Amending Levy No. 20163 and Certifying Amended Special Assessments for Improvement Project Nos. 2018-08 and 2019-05, Bellevue and Southeast Area Mill and Overlay Improvements to Hennepin County Tax Rolls.

Councilmembers Marquita Butler and Kris Lawrence-Anderson were absent and excused. Also present were Deputy City Manager Reggie Edwards, Director of Public Works Doran Cote, City Engineer Mike Albers, Business and Work Force Development Coordinator Brett Angel, Police Chief Tim Gannon, City Attorney Troy Gilchrist, and Mary Mullen, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS Councilmember Ryan requested the following correction to the Study Session minutes of April 8, 2019: Page 3, third paragraph, second sentence: “He added that the first 32 acres of the development site can hold a broad range of possibilities, but that property is not large enough to encompass everything that was discussed at the workshop.” It was the majority consensus of the City Council to accept the correction to the April 8, 2019 Study Session minutes. Councilmember Graves requested clarification regarding Agenda Item 6f, Resolution Rejecting Bid. She asked why City Staff is recommending rejection of the bid. Director of Public Works Doran Cote stated there was only one bidder for the project, and the bid was $3 million over the City’s estimate. MISCELLANEOUS Councilmember Ryan asked what site will be used for the upcoming summer pop-up markets. Deputy City Manager Reggie Edwards stated they will be held at the Opportunity Site. Business and Work Force Development Coordinator Brett Angel stated the first pop-up market is scheduled for June 8, 2019. 04/22/19 -2- DRAFT Mr. Edwards stated the two Councilmembers who were absent from the meeting may have communicated their absence to City Manager Curt Boganey. Mayor Elliott asked whether the City Council will attend the Prayer Breakfast, to be held Saturday May 4, 2019. Councilmember Ryan stated that is an individual decision whether Councilmembers want to attend. He added he has a family obligation that day. He noted the Mayor usually reads a proclamation at the breakfast. Mayor Elliott stated he plans to attend. He asked whether the City Council should reserve a table. Councilmember Graves stated she has a wedding to attend that day, but she will try to attend the breakfast. Mayor Elliott stated it would be good if a few Councilmembers could attend. DISCUSSION OF WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEMS AS TIME PERMITS LIQUOR LICENSE VIOLATION PENALTY POLICY DISCUSSION Mr. Edwards stated a public hearing was held in January related to a local establishment that had a liquor license violation. He added the City Council instructed City Staff to review the liquor license violation penalty policy, to determine what has been done in the past and review the policies of other local communities. Mr. Edwards requested City Council consideration of establishing an ongoing policy, as there is currently no set fee or fee schedule. He added other jurisdictions use a process that progresses from the first violation to revocation with the fourth violation. He noted the City Council had determined a fine of $1,000 of which 50% was to be paid immediately, and the remaining balance would be due if another violation occurred within a twelve-month period. Mr. Edwards requested the City Councils discussion and direction for developing a penalty policy for violations of the City’s Liquor License Ordinance. Councilmember Ryan stated he would support a policy that is consistent with adjacent cities. He added a fine as well as suspension of license is too punitive. He asked whether the policy would apply to both on-sale and off-sale liquor. City Attorney Troy Gilchrist stated the City Council could decide how the policy will be structured as long as it falls within the criteria for reasonable and equitable standards. Councilmember Ryan asked whether there is sound basis for holding a public hearing if a problematic on-sale establishment reaches a fourth violation. Mr. Gilchrist stated the City is the only off-sale proprietor in Brooklyn Center. He stressed the importance of consistency. He added the creation of a penalty system would not replace due process, and a hearing would be appropriate even for the first violation. 04/22/19 -3- DRAFT Mayor Elliott stated he would like to see which of the nearby jurisdictions have municipal liquor operations, and whether they have had to grant exceptions. He added the City could find itself in a tight spot with a penalty policy. Councilmember Graves stated there should not be a distinction between on-sale or off-sale liquor in this policy. She added there would still be due process. She noted she likes the City of Maplewood’s policy, which is simple and straight-forward, and she would not be opposed to a suspension policy like the City of Golden Valley. Mayor Elliott agreed, although Maplewood’s fee schedule is aggressive. He added a license revocation could be considered after a fourth violation. Councilmember Ryan stated he likes Golden Valley’s approach, unless there is a third violation. He asked how that could be phrased in the Ordinance, related to 24 months before the violation. Mayor Elliott requested additional research. He added imposing a fine sends a strong message. He noted he would not support shutting down a business. Councilmember Graves stated the type of violation makes a difference, and types of violations should have different penalties. She asked whether other cities have a system of different levels of penalties. She added the establishment that had a violation that was the impetus for this discussion had a prior violation that was not the same. She noted she would like to see more information from other cities that have different levels of penalties. Mr. Edwards stated City Staff reviewed other cities’ penalty structures, and there was no indication that the structures were based upon type of violation. Mr. Gilchrist stated the vast majority of violations are underage sales. Councilmember Graves stated she would like to review this issue again when there are more Councilmembers present. It was the majority consensus of the City Council to direct City Staff to provide additional information related to liquor license violations policy. Councilmember Ryan stated he would support a fee structure similar to Golden Valley. Mr. Gilchrist agreed to review the potential fee schedules and language related to due process and provide additional information for the City Council’s review at their next Regular Meeting.

Project Summaries Page | 18 2019-2033 Capital Improvement Program Grandview Park Area Improvements - 2020 The Grandview Park project area extends Interstate 694 to 57th Avenue and from Logan Avenue to Dupont Avenue. The total project length is 20,821-feet. The neighborhood consists of approximately 345 residential properties (R1) and four multi-family properties (R6). Streets The majority of the streets in the project area were originally constructed between 1964 and 1969. Existing streets are generally 30-feet wide with no curb and gutter. The street pavement is deteriorated throughout most of the neighborhood. The overall pavement condition rating is fair to poor. Proposed street improvements consist of the reconstruction of the street subgrade, installation of curb and gutter to improve drainage and placement of bituminous street pavement. Water main The existing water main in the project area consists of 6-inch and 8-inch diameter CIP installed between 1964 and 1969. A 16-inch steel water main runs along Emerson Avenue from 57th Avenue to 59th Avenue. A majority of the existing water main is believed to have a cement based internal liner. Water records indicate two main breaks have occurred within the neighborhood and one property has experienced a frozen water service in past winters. The current project estimate includes replacement of approximately 50 to 75 percent of the water main within the project area. The 16-inch steel water main along Emerson Avenue potently could be replaced with C900 plastic water main. Sanitary Sewer The sanitary sewer in the project area consists of 8-inch diameter VCP installed in 1960 and 1963. Approximately 68 percent of the sanitary sewer is subjected to frequent problems with root intrusion. Root sawing must be performed on an annual basis to maintain the system conveyance capacity. The condition of the sanitary sewer system within the neighborhood is rated as fair to poor. The current project estimate includes replacement of approximately 50 to 75 percent of the sanitary sewer system within the project area. Storm Sewer A majority of the storm water runoff from the project area is collected in the existing storm sewer system and conveyed to the trunk storm sewer line on 59th Avenue and then to the Mississippi River. A portion of the existing storm sewer system within the project area could be salvaged, although it is anticipated that expansion of the system and additional conveyance capacity will be needed to minimize local flooding. The current project cost estimate includes replacement of 75 percent of the local drainage system within the neighborhood. Street Lighting The existing street light system is overhead power, with wood poles and a cobra head light fixture. The current cost estimate includes replacing the 25 wood poles with 25 fiberglass poles with a cut-off type LED light fixture and underground power. Project Summaries Page | 20 2019-2033 Capital Improvement Program Logan, Lilac and 59th Avenues Reconstruction - 2020 This project area includes Logan Avenue from 57th Avenue to Lilac Drive, 59th Avenue from Lilac Drive to Dupont Avenue and Lilac Drive from Logan Avenue to 59th Avenue. The total project length is 3,761-feet. The neighborhood consists of approximately 12 residential properties, three church properties, one school property, 14 multi-family properties (R3 to R5) and two commercial zoned properties (C2). Streets The entire project area is designated as a MSA Route. The majority of the streets in the project area were originally constructed in 1966. The existing roads are 30 to 35-feet wide. Logan Avenue and Lilac Drive have concrete curb and gutter and 59th Avenue has no curb. The street pavement is deteriorated throughout most of the neighborhood. The overall pavement condition rating is fair to poor. Proposed street improvements consist of the reconstruction of the street subgrade, installation of curb and gutter to improve drainage and placement of bituminous street pavement. Water main The existing water main along Logan Avenue and Lilac Drive is 10-inch diameter CIP installed in 1965 and 16-inch diameter cast iron main along 59th Avenue installed in 1969. A majority of the existing water main is believed to have a cement based internal liner. The corrosion rate within the project area has not been thoroughly documented at this time. Utility records indicate there has been one water main break along Logan Avenue. However, the Public Utilities Division will need to excavate and inspect various fittings to determine the extent of water main replacement that is warranted. The current project estimate includes replacement of water main along Logan Avenue and Lilac Drive only. Sanitary Sewer The only sanitary sewer in the project area runs along Logan Avenue. This sanitary sewer was lined with CIPP in 2005. Manhole casting replacement is the only proposed sanitary sewer improvement for the project. Storm Sewer A majority of the storm water runoff from the project area is collected in the existing trunk line along 59th Avenue. This line consists of 24-inch to 36-inch corrugated metal pipe. A second storm line runs south along Logan Avenue to 57th Avenue. This line consists of 21-inch to 42-inch RCP installed in 1988. The current project cost estimate assumes replacement of the corrugated metal pipe alone 59th Avenue as part of the scheduled neighborhood improvements. Street Lighting The existing street light system is overhead power, with wood poles and a cobra head light fixture. The current cost estimate includes replacing the three wood poles with three fiberglass poles with a cut-off type LED light fixture and underground power.

Ins tituted as a public educ ation campaign by the American P ublic Works As s ociation (AP WA) in 1960, the weeklong celebration calls attention to the importanc e of public works in community life. T he week s eeks to enhanc e the pres tige of profes s ionals who serve the public good every day with quiet dedic ation. T he theme for 2019 is “P ublic Works -It S tarts Here”. T he P ublic Works Department employs 40 full-time and 20 s eas onal employees in the five divis ions of the department - engineering, s treet maintenanc e, park maintenance, public utilities and the c entral garage. All divisions work together as a team to provide high-quality s ervic e for people who visit, live or work in Brooklyn C enter. Many of the tasks like plowing streets, mowing parks , putting up s igns , pumping water, maintaining large equipment and des igning improvement projec ts are high profile. Many more tasks are completed almost unnoticeable exc ept in their absence. Many people do not realize that s ignificant efforts of the department take plac e while everyone els e is s leeping. It is not unus ual for street or park employees to get called out in the middle of the night after a storm to c lear fallen trees from the road, to plow or provide ic e c ontrol during a winter s torm, or utility employees to be called out to respond to a s ewer backup or water main break.

Background: T he Livable C ommunities Demons tration Ac count (LC DA) is a grant program which is offered by the Metropolitan C ounc il through the Livable C ommunities Ac t. T he program funds innovative (re)development projects that effic iently link housing, jobs, services and trans it in an effort to create ins piring and livable communities . LC DA grants are offered for two purpos es , both pre-development and development, with two funding rounds per year. P re-development grant applications have a maximum funding amount of $100,000 per round, per applic ation with a grant term of 2 years and a required 25% loc al match. Eligible applic ants for LC DA funds include munic ipalities currently partic ipating in the Metropolitan Livable C ommunities Housing Incentives P rogram, C ounties, Ec onomic Development Authorities , Housing and R edevelopment Authorities, C ommunity Development Authorities and P ort Authorities . Eligible uses for the LC DA P re-Development funding includes the following: P roject P lanning Ac tivities Development of site plans ; phasing or staging plans for an identified parcel or multiple contiguous parc els ; Des ign workshops for development alternatives ; C ommunity engagement beyond public meetings . F inancial Analysis F eas ibility studies of one or multiple development sc enarios for an identified parcel, leading to the development of a pro-formal Market s tudy to determine the demand for the propos ed development projec t. S ite Analysis P roject-s pecific stormwater management plans; S oil tes ting to determine feasible land uses for the s ite (not environmental tes ting). Travel Demand Management P lan T he C ity has recently been approac hed about a project whic h would be eligible for LC DA P re-Development grant funding named Monarc h P ark, whic h is a concept for two mixed-use buildings. T he project is a propos ed development by Troy P arker of G ardner-Lee Workforc e & O pportunity S olutions and S ector 612. G ardner-Lee is a non-profit c orporation that was formed to inc reas e the educ ation, training, employment, busines s and other opportunities for all individuals with a focus on under-represented populations. S ector 612 is a collaboration of four minority-owned bus inesses that are c urrently based out of Minneapolis inc luding two res taurants , an exec utive trans portation company and a design company. T he site they are currently interes ted in is the EDA-owned property at 57th and Logan Avenues . T he development c onc ept for Monarc h P ark would be to cons truct eac h building in two separate phas es . T he phase-one building, termed S ector 612, would be a 7-s tory mixed-use building comprised of retail on the firs t floor, approximately 34 apartments on levels 2-4 of varying degrees of affordability, a co-working office s pace and workforce development center would be on levels 5-6, and community open s pace on level 7. T he four busines s that c ompris e S ec tor 612 would be located within and own the building. G ardner-Lee would own and operate the workforc e development c enter; focus ing on training, mentoring and recruitment of individuals into trade and cons truction profes s ions. T he second development phase would be termed M onarch P ark. T his five-story building would consist of retail and commercial space on level one and approximately 100 apartments of varying degrees of affordability on levels 2-5. T he concept includes a large courtyard area that will be open to the public. T he M onarch P ark concept provides a unique community-driven development which focuses on providing solutions to regional issues including workforce development, mixed-income housing, affordable commercial spaces, and economic/tax base growth. T he proposed concept is one which could be used as a demonstration for other municipalities and metropolitan areas. O riginally, M r. P arker had a focus on a specific property that was located within N orth Minneapolis, but after difficulties in property acquisition chose to pursue a new location and reached out to the C ity of B rooklyn Center staff. Staff has been in discussions with Mr. P arker for several months; however, the project is not at a point at which a preliminary development agreement is warranted. Additional analysis is needed in order to determine if the project is feasible. M r. P arker has a strong vision for the the outcome of the development, which aligns well with the C ity's strategic priorities around community engagement and resident economic stability; however, more resources are needed in order to move the project forward though the next stage of pre-development. T he applic ation for LC DA pre-development funds for Monarch P ark would be us ed for community engagement, market analys is and site analysis/planning. T he grant application has a total request of $60,000 from the Metropolitan C ounc il, which would require an additional $15,000 c ommitment from the C ity of Brooklyn C enter if the grant application is approved and funded. T he grant funding will allow for the developer to hire experts who s pecialize in the listed grant ac tivities bringing additional experience to the development team, whic h currently has minimal development experience. T he work by the c onsultants that would be hired would make Monarc h P ark more c ompetitive for future development grant opportunities offered through the Metropolitan C ounc il and Hennepin C ounty. T he grant will als o help determine the feas ibility of the projec t at the 57th and Logan site or whether the development would be better suited for the O pportunity S ite. W hile the C ity c urrently has multiple development projects in the pipeline, this project is unique in that it enc aps ulates a dis tinct mix of uses which, if succ es s ful would be highly innovative, and als o aligns s o well with the C ity's s trategic priorities . F urther, this projec t would likely not move forward without the as s is tance of the grant funds . Budget Issues: A s plit between T I F #3 and EDA funds will be us ed for the required 25% C ity match ($15,000).

Monarch Park is a development project consisting of two developments termed Sector 612 and Monarch Park. The proposed project is a creative mixed-use development which would provide a mix of retail and apartments. The conceptual plan for the site includes two buildings: one of which termed Monarch Park and the other termed Sector 612. Sector 612 is a 7 story mixed use building with a workforce development center and four minority-owned retail and service businesses located on the first floor. There would be approximately 34 apartment units on floors 2 through 4, co-working space on levels 5 and 6, and a community open space on level 7. Monarch Park is a 5-story mixed use building consisting of retail and commercial space on level 1, approximately 100 apartments on levels 2-5 and a large open public plaza area. The Monarch Park and Sector 612 concept would provide needed affordable housing and affordable commercial spaces to the City of Brooklyn Center, in an area that is well-suited for a mixed-use development. The City currently has recieved conceptual plans for the layout of the buildings on the site. The pre-development grant would assist in further planning of the site (development of site plans, fit planning, etc.) and financial and market fesibility. Describe the current and future land uses on the site. Specify types of uses, number and condition of existing buildings, site history, etc. While there are two possible locations for the development project, the focus has been on an EDA-owned site known as 57th and Logan. The previous use of the site included a retail shopping center, termed the Hmong American Shopping Center, which was comprised of single-story retail buildings with a significant percentage of the lot dedicated to surface parking. The Economic Development Authority of Brooklyn Center purchased the approximately 8.2 acre site in the early 2000's and subsequently demolished the buildings on the site. Upon purchase and environmental testing on the entire site, it was determined that there was contaimination issues due to a previous dry-cleaning business. The site has undergone monitoring and remediation efforts by the MPCA. In 2018, the City sold 2.6 acres of the site to a self-storage facility which is currently under construction. The remining buildable area of the site (4.7 acres) is the location of the proposed project. The City would also like to consider the "Opportunity Site" as a possible locatoin for the development, which is currently being master planned with developer Alatus, and part of the feasibility analysis would consider this site to determine if it would be more suitable of a location. A.3 Grant-Funded Activities Detail Grant-Funded Activity How does this activity relate to the larger Development Project? Development of Site Plans or Development Staging Plans Creation of detailed plans used for the design of the project. Market or Feasibility Study to develop and evaluate development scenario(s) Assist in the market demand and project feasibility which will help in the development of a proforma and identify any potential gaps in funding. A.4 Pre-Development Grant Request Request amount Description of use Match amount Match method Estimated Commitment Date $25,000.00 Project Planning (site plan development, community engagement) $6,250.00 Cash $25,000.00 Financial Analysis (market feasibility and pro-forma creation) $6,250.00 Cash $10,000.00 Site Analysis (stormwater management) $2,500.00 Cash $60,000.00 $15,000.00 B: Future Development Project Detail B.1: Project Innovation, Demonstration, and Catalytic Value Describe the innovative elements of the development project that make it an excellent demonstration that could be replicated in other parts of the region. The Monarch Park concept is an innovative development project which combines many community needs into two buildings including - housing for a mix of different income levels, affordable retail space for local businesses, co-working spaces, and community gathering spaces. The project would make an excellent demonstration project because it maximizes the potential for a redevelopment property and seeks to incorporate community driven values into the project. The conceptual plan incorporates a large plaza area that would be open to the public and serve as a community gathering space. The design on Monarch Park also seeks to utilize the transit stop which is currently located at the site. The financial feasibiliy analysis will include exploring ways to leverage the City's ownership of the site to ensure long-term affordability for the commercial elements within the building. One model the City will explore with the grant funds would be the use of a land trust model within a vertical mixed use building to create perpetual affordable commercial/retail space. The development concept is one that could be replicated throughout the region and/or the Country. The project seeks to address many of the issues that multiple municipalities and metropolitan regions face, such as affordable housing creation, access to affordable commercial spaces for small businesses, opportunities to live and work in the same building, and enhanced workforce development and skill creation for residents to find livable wage jobs. This project was driven by what has been heard in the community and future developments which use this as a model can create small tweaks to the concept to ensure that it will match the needs of the communities in which it is serving. (2,000 characters) Will this project catalyze additional private investment in the project area? If so, how? This project has the potential to catalyze additional private investment in the surrounding area. The City of Brooklyn Center is currently in the master-planning phases of the Opportunity Site, which is across Highway 100 from this site. Monarch Park aligns with the vision of increasing the density in this area and could help leverage interest for sites located within the Opportunity Site. Monarch Park could potentially catalyze investment in the properties across 57th Avenue as well. The current buildings in this area are older single-story buildings which are in need of reinvestment. (2,000 characters) How will LCDA Pre-Development funds move the future development project forward? The LCDA Pre-Development funds would play a significant role in allowing the Monarch Park project to move forward. The funding would allow for the development of the site plans for the project and allow for a market feasibility and financial feasibility study to occur which will determine the projects viability. Without the funding, it may significantly slow down the progress of the concept plan and potential hurt the chances of the development occurring. The funding would allow for the master developer to hire experts and consultants who specialize in the grant funded activities, bringing additional knowledge and skills to the development team. The specific deliverables which the grant and City contribution will go towards funding include project planning activities (development of a site plan for the proposed concept and the creating of a community engagement plan), financial anaylsis (feasibility studies of a development scenario and creation of a detailed pro-forma), market study to determine the demand for specific building components (specifically workforce development center and affordable commercial space) and the creation of project-specific stormwater management plans. (2,000 characters) What specific, demonstrated community need does this project fill? Monarch Park fills a variety of community needs within Brooklyn Center. From a residential component it includes units for various income levels. Brooklyn Center has a lower median household income than surrounding communities so the additional units will allow for new housing unit options for the community. The additional housing units will have the ability to serve those currently living within the City and residents of the future. Creating a mix of incomes within an building will help ensure a livable community and help ensure stable housing is available at a variety of housing points. Monarch Park also fills the need for additional spaces for affordable retail and commercial businesses. Brooklyn Center has the highest percentage of people of color in the Metropolitan Area. One of the City's strategic priorities is Resident Economic Stability, which in part focuses on elevating earning potential of existing residents. The workforce development focus as well as Sector 612 being a partnership of minority-owned businesses, forwards the City's goals in this area. The workforce development center will provide increased opportunities for residents of the City of Brooklyn Center to gain the skills needed to find gainful employment. The use would also add to the tax base for the community for an area that has has a $0 impact to the taxbase since the properties were acquired by the EDA. The project will generate property taxes on residential and commercial property that has been tax-exempt for over 10 years. This combined with the increased employment, retail sales, and other taxes generated through the development of the project is a positive endeavor for Brooklyn Center, Hennepin County, the State, and the community members. (2,000 characters) B.2: Future Development Project Is there a small area plan in place for the project area? No How will the future development project fit with the current development context of the project area? The redevelopment of the project site into Monarch Park will maximize the potential of the remaining developable parcel. In 2018, a portion of the site was sold and is currently being constructed into a self-storage facility. The remaining parcel is better suited for a project of Monarch Parks structure due to access and visibility. The self-storage facility can be used as a complementary selling point for Monarch Park by providing the businesses and residences additional storage options directly adjacent to their place of business/home. For an overall area, when the project site was identified as neighborhood mixed-use in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, it signfied a desire to increase the density of the site.

No If you have not started an engagement process, do you have a defined community engagement plan? Please describe. Engagement for the project has not begun and a defined community engagement plan has not yet been created. Engagement for the project is expected to begin soon. Since this is an EDA-owned site, a public hearing is required for any land sale. Additional engagement is expected for the project as well. (2,000 characters) Are you partnering directly with community members and/or community based organizations? If yes, please describe. Sector 612 is a community partner which is comprised of 4 minority owned Minneapolis businesses. Sector 612 is passionate about rebuilding the community through business and economic development, safe and affordable housing, and business support for the Twin Cities metropolitan region. The businesses that comprise Sector 612 have current roots within the City and will look to continue to build on them and engage the community. The City will also look to engage directly with other local organizations whom could have an interest within components of the project including the Liberian Business Association, CAPI and CEAP. GardnerLee, master developer for the site, is an organization who works directly with emerging business owners and the workforce to ensure their viability and ability to thrive in the market. GardnerLee seeks to ensurethere is increased training, assistance, support and opportunities for underrepresented and marginalized individuals to enhance their quality of life. (2,000 characters) Do you have a plan to engage historically underrepresented populations (including but not limited to residents of color, renters, residents working non-traditional work schedules, elderly residents, youth)? Please describe. There will be a targeted plan to ensure that historically underrepresented populations are engaged in the project. In 2018, the City of Brooklyn Center City Council established Inclusive Community Engagement as a strategic priority in which to focus on. This priority puts an emphasis to ensure that everyone is able to have their voices heard regardless of age, race, country of origin, socioeconomic status, or gender. The City is able to accomplish this by ensuring any engagement efforts go above and beyond what is required by statute. Engagement efforts look to comprise of both online and in-person efforts, in various languages, at various times, and with the help of local organizations whom work on daily basis and are leaders in the traditionally underrepresented populations. (2,000 characters) How will the project incorporate and be responsive to community vision? Since Sector 612 is a community-organization who is located within the surrounding community (North Minneapolis) the proposed project is a grassroots idea that is responding to the needs which both North Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center currently are facing. The project would add safe, secure, and stable housing to a varying-income base and provide commercial spaces for local businesses to thrive. The project looks to be reflective of the community needs and desires to ensure that both exisiting residents and the residents of the future have a place which is truly organic in nature and is reflective of the diversity of the area. (2,000 characters) Has the project changed in response to community engagement? No Will there be additional community engagement? Yes Describe additonal engagement plans. Be specific and include dates, engagement formats, stakeholder groups, etc. The City is currently wrapping up a 4-workshop community engagement series, facilitated by LISC for the Opportunity Site, which is just on the other side of Highway 100. The engagement has been extremely robust and represnetative of the community, and has included several hundred participants. This work will continue as the master planning efforts on the Opportuniy Site move forward. Because the two sites are so close together, the engagement will naturally blend as work moves forwrad on the 57th and Logan site. The recommendations coming out of the LISC workshop series will inform the initial steps on tis site. The City already has a consultant team working on engagement, and this site will be added to that scope of work if the grant is approved. (2,000 characters) B. Public opposition Where have there been moments of opposition in the engagement process? If you have not started an engagement process, where do you anticipate moments of opposition? Anticipated moments of opposition are expected in the early design phases related to the amount of traffic volume for the site, the total amount of parking for the site, and the affordability component for the residential units. (2,000 characters) If you have experienced moments of opposition, how have you managed those moments? If you have not begun the engagement process, how do you anticipate managing moments of conflict? In order to managing the above mentioned moments of conflict or opposition, the City and developer will work to ensure these areas are looked at thoroughly. This may include completed a travel demand study and/or parking demand study. The City will work directly with the developer to ensure that major concerns of the project are handled and any changes required to the site plan are incorporated.

The City Council has a strategic priority of Resident Economic Stability. As part of that priority, they have demonstrated strong support for projects that incorporate affordable and mixed income housing. In particular, the City Council has expressed strong support for seeking opportunities to support and lift up minority-owned and locally-owned businesses, create opportunities for affordbale commercial space, and to create a thriving entrepreneurial environment. This project supports all of these goals. (2,000 characters) Describe city review or regulatory processes used or developed for this Project, such as zoning codes, form-based codes, design or development standards. Since the project property is owned by the EDA - the City has control over ensuring the development exceeds standards currently within the City Code. This can be for ensuring a set number of jobs, affordability bands, construction materials, etc. Since the proposed project will be seeking Tax Increment Financing, the project will have to follow the Public Subsidy Policy established by the City. The City is currently in the process of overhauling the Zoning Code. If this project moves forward faster than the creation of the new zoning districts, the City has the ability to use Planned Unit Development (PUD) standards for the application process.

(2,000 characters) H: Land Use H.1: Reaching Potential How will the project use land more efficiently and maximize the potential of the project site? The site is currently vacant. The former use of the site was single story retail buildings. The Economic Development Authority purchased the property when the shopping center was underperforming and when it was determined that there was contaimination on the site. The City demolished the former buildings on the site and worked with MPCA to complete environmental studies to bring the property back to redevelopment possibility. The property sat vacant from 2006-2018, when it the property was divided and a self-storage facility was constructed. The project would more efficiently utilize the land and maximize the potential by bringing a mixed-use project which includes: businesses which would directly serve the adjoining neighborhoods, affordable housing, and office space. The proposed project would maximize the extent of the site and create a more sustainable use. (2,000 characters) H.2: Land Use Intensity What is the gross square footage of the project site? 205553 What is the NET BUILDABLE area in square feet within the project site? 140000 Excluded area 65553 If any area has been excluded, describe why. A significant portion of the north end of the project site is covered by an easement for overhead power lines. While structures are not allowed the be located within this area, pavement is allowed so the area will be utilized for drive aisles and parking areas, as well as green space.

T he property has a width of 93 feet and depth of 170 feet with direct ac cess and frontage onto Brooklyn Boulevard. T he primary struc ture was built in 1946 and the property has a 2019 assessed market value of $198,000. T he property is currently owned by K aren Brissett, who purchased the home in 2016. T he seller approached the City regarding the potential sale of her home since she feels she is unable to maintain the property at an adequate level. T he seller has expressed a desire to move into a townhome or apartment community where she would not be responsible for exterior maintenance. S taff met with Ms. Brissett to discuss a potential purchase and purchase agreement terms were discussed and agreed upon. T he total costs to the EDA as s ociated with the acquis ition of the property is $184,000. T his amount includes the purchas e pric e for the property of $180,000 and moving expens es to the homeowner of $4,000. T he purc hase agreement for the property also allows for the property owner to remove applianc es or other items as long as it does not affect the s afety or s ecurity of the struc ture. T he seller als o expres s ed a des ire to stay in the home for a short period past c los ing to allow for flexibility with moving her belongings . Exhibit B of the purchas e agreement outlines the parameters of allowing the s eller to continue occ upation of the property. T he C ity will hold $1,000 from the purchas e in the form of an es crow until final move out is completed at whic h time the esc row will be released to the seller. T his can oc cur at any point after c los ing, but no later than June 30th, 2019. Upon approval of the purc hase agreement by the EDA, a closing of the property will oc cur between the s eller and Kennedy and G raven, attorney for the EDA, the week of May 20th. After closing on the property and the s eller vacating, the C ity would demolish the existing home. T he anticipated c os t for demolition of the s tructure is approximately $20,000. T he EDA has had a policy of acquiring single family properties along Brooklyn Boulevard for many years. In partic ular, with the rec onstruc tion of the roadway, and the upcoming land use s tudy and overlay district creation, it is anticipated that land us e patterns will intens ify along the corridor over time. Acquiring and cons olidating properties for redevelopment as they become available has been part of the s trategy the EDA has taken to s upport targeted redevelopment efforts in the area. T he subject property is not currently located adjac ent to any additional properties whic h are owned by the EDA. However, to the north of the subject property is the West F ire S tation and to the south of the subject property are two additional s ingle family homes . S taff have not approac hed the two additional single family homes regarding a potential sale but the combination of the three properties would c reate an attractive redevelopment opportunity. Other surrounding land uses include a commercial shopping area to the west and additional single-family residential properties to the east.

T he property is currently zoned as R -5: Multiple F amily R esidence, and is guided under the 2040 C omprehensive P lan as Neighborhood Mixed-Us e. Although zoned as an R -5 property, the property has been utilized as a s ingle-family res idenc e with the primary home being c onstruc ted in 1939. T he property is comprised of a 1,900 s quare foot home with an attached 1-car garage and a s eparate detac hed 2-c ar garage, with an assessed market value of $221,000. T he property is c urrently owned by James S kiff, who has owned the property s inc e 1978. C onvers ations with the property owner and the C ity regarding a potential s ale have been happening for the past 5-10 years . O ver that s ame period of time, the difference between the C ity's offering pric e and the as king price of the property owner was too signific ant to c ome to an agreed upon purc hase price. T he property owner has had his property listed for s ale privately for the past year but was unable to find a buyer. R ec ently, C ity staff and the property owner re-negotiated the terms of a purc hase agreement as the property's assessed market value had inc reas ed and the property owners as king price had decreased. T he total cost to the EDA as s ociated with the acquis ition of the property is $240,000. T his amount includes the purchas e pric e of the property of $235,000 and moving expens es to the homeowner of $5,000. T he purc hase agreement allows for the property owner to remove any fixtures within the home under the c ondition it does not affect the s afety or s ecurity of the struc ture. Als o, the purchas e agreement allows for the oc cupants of the home to s tay in the home pas t closing until no later than Augus t 31, 2019. A portion of the purchas e price ($1,000) will be placed into an esc row acc ount at closing and will not be releas ed to the property owner until final move-out. Upon closing on the property, the C ity would demolish the s tructures on the property, which is es timated to c os t around $20,000. T he EDA c urrently owns the property directly to the south of this property. T he EDA-owned property has a total size of 0.4 ac res . C ity s taff have also been in regular c ontact with the property owner to the east of Mr. S kiff's property, whic h is a s ingle family residential property with a s ize of 0.65 ac res . S taff will look to continue conversations with this property owner. To the north of Mr. S kiff's property is a multi-family apartment building, whic h has s tated they are not interested in selling at this time. T he EDA has had a policy of acquiring and assembling s ingle family properties along Brooklyn Boulevard for many years . With the recons truction of Brooklyn Boulevard and the upcoming land use s tudy and creation of an overlay district it is anticipated that the corridor will trans ition to higher intens ity land us es over time. Acquiring properties as they become available is a s trategy for targeted redevelopment. Budget Issues: T I F #3 F unds will be us ed for the ac quisition of the property.

SELLER By James Henry Skiff BUYER Economic Development Authority of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota By: Its: President By: Its: Executive Director 9 564933v1 BR305-157 EXHIBIT A FORM OF WAIVER OF RELOCATION BENEFITS The undersigned, acknowledges that I met with a representative of the Economic Development Authority of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota (EDA) on _______________, 2019. The representative, _____________________________, explained that in the event that the EDA acquires my property located at 7014 Brooklyn Boulevard, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, I may be entitled to certain relocation benefits, in addition to the amount of money being paid to me to acquire my property. These benefits may include: 1. Moving Expenses: a. A payment for actual reasonable moving expenses; or b. A fixed payment determined in accordance with the applicable schedule approved by the Federal Highway Administration. 2. Replacement Housing Payment: A 180-day homeowner is eligible to receive a replacement housing payment to cover the following costs: a. If the homeowner must pay more to buy a comparable replacement home than homeowner receives for the property, then homeowner may be compensated for the difference. b. Homeowners may be entitled to compensation for incidental and closing expenses related to the purchase of a decent, safe, and sanitary replacement home, such as recording fees, title insurance, appraisal, and inspection fees. c. If a homeowner must pay a higher interest rate on a mortgage to finance the purchase of a replacement home than the rate on the mortgage of the property, then homeowner may be entitled to compensation for increased mortgage interest costs. 3. Other Relocation Assistance: This includes referrals and other assistance to help the owner(s) relocate to a comparable decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling. These payments and services are required under the regulations of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The owner(s) cannot be required to move from his/her home unless he/she is given reasonable opportunities to relocate to a comparable decent, safe and sanitary dwelling unit that he/she can afford. 10 564933v1 BR305-157 Finally, it was explained to me that the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 as amended, entitles me to these relocation benefits; and if I sign this waiver, I will be waiving those relocation benefits. After having these benefits explained to me, I agree to waive them. In signing this waiver, I acknowledge that no threats have been made to me, either expressly or by implication that my property will be taken from me through condemnation.
