YOUTH IN GOVERNMENT DAY Dr. Edwards introduced the item and explained Youth in Govermment Day involves engaging youth in a mock Council meeting. The youth also prepared and gave a presentation on the City's celebration. He commented on their experience of Brooklyn Center as interns and now their experience of the policy -setting side of the City Council. He stated the youth also engaged in dialogue with Councilmembers Ryan and Lawrence -Anderson. Dr. Edwards stated Youth in Government acknowledges the contribution of youth, their brilliance, and wisdom, and that they are our future. This is done on an annual basis to create opportunities for young people to learn about their government and, hopefully, be inspired to someday work in government or serve as an elected official. Mayor Elliott read in full a Proclamation declaring July 26, 2021, as Youth in Government Day in the City of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Mayor Elliott introduced each of the youth members who actively participated in the 2021 Youth iIt Government Day program and thanked them for their service. He described their contribution in discussions and presentations on what a new transformed and inclusive Brooklyn Center festival could look like. Bernie Nnadi stated he enjoyed the program, the whole dynamic, and what they did together with the group. He stated they were able to connect, see their differences, and work together to give the presentation. He thinks they did a good job and he was proud to work with them. Lisa Amanor stated this was a wonderful opportunity that she was fortunate to partake in. She stated it was amazing to connect with other BrookLynk interns, hear their perspectives on the City's celebration, and take an active role as a Brooklyn Center resident in her community. She looks forward to sharing those opportunities, thoughts, and connecting with other people. 07/26/21 -5- Neomi Sidique stated this is a great experience and she will be happy to tell others about it. She was happy to work with other people from different backgrounds and cultures and appreciates this program. Hannah Sinouthasy stated she is grateful for this opportunity and it was nice to hear about different perspectives and how they all intertwine in this community. Matthew Fogg stated it was nice to work with different BrookLynk members, to learn about their culture, how they do stuff, and how they see different ways to do things. He stated for a long time he only saw it his way and it's cool to work, as a team and work by ourselves because we can learn different things for jobs or strategies. Tal,ahnl,andeh Kimbi stated he liked this experience, being a Brooklyn Center intern along with learning with his fellow interns. He has figured out that it is important to be part of the government in Brooklyn Center and how good, young, and intelligent his fellow youth are. Peter Nguyen stated he enjoyed this experience and meeting with fellow interns and head people from different branches, to hear different people's opinions, how the Council works, and those different perspectives. Mayor Elliott again thanked the youth interns for participating. Ail present offered a round of applause. Mayor Elliott stated each participant will receive a certificate. '7b. PRESENTATION FROM IIENNEPIN COUNTY COMMISSIONER JEFF LUNDE Mayor Elliott introduced the item and welcomed Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Lunde. Commissioner Lunde thanked the Mayor and Councilmembers for the opportunity to briefly share what Hennepin County has been doing to support residents, staff, and businesses of Brooklyn Center after the tragic death of Daunte Wright. He stated Hennepin County is doing what it can in cooperation and at the direction of Dr. Edward's leadership to help them finetune their response. They have also been working each day with staff and Community Development Director Meg Beekman to support efforts to rebuild the business district and move the City's goals forward. Commissioner Lunde provided a PowerPoint presentation detailing Hennepin County's community support the week following the death of Daunte Wright by proactively reaching out to every Brooklyn Center resident that was County connected to ask what they could use help with. The County also asked whether they had any hardships and connected them with programs and services. This was accomplished within four days. Commissioner Lunde stated after that, the County allocated money directly to programs at the direction of Mayor Elliott and Dr. Edwards to assure the County's services and contracts were aligned with where the City saw the needs fit. He thanked Mayor Elliott and Dr. Edwards for their guidance. Those dollars were used to address mental health services, food security, and different ways to support the community in the weeks and months to follow, continuing to this day. 07/26/21 -6- Commissioner Lunde described Hennepin County's ongoing efforts to connect with the Brooklyn Center School District, their food shelf, noting the County continues to check in with them monthly to ask if there is anything the County can assist with. There have been several vaccine clinics as well with New Millennium and other charter schools being on the forefiont with vacci wnes. Commissioner Lunde stated their efforts are ongoing with the School District to help kick off the school year right and overcome challenges and traumatic memories. Commissioner Lunde stated Hennepin County continues to provide eviction foreclosure support. He noted the City is also contacting renters and encouraging them to sign up for rent help. He stated the County's navigators can work with anyone who needs assistance including language assistance and managing the paperwork, which has been cut down to a couple of pages. Commissioner Lunde stated Hennepin County and his office are committed to a coordinated operation to support the community, referred to as Operation Community Well Being. He stated if they can plan for law enforcement response to events, they can also plan for trauma support, food security, and provide housing assistance for those who are impacted. This goes beyond a law enforcement response to include a community response. He noted that Operation Safety Net did include a line item calling for community engagement but zero dollars were appropriated to that item. He stated they will work on a Community Well Being Plan so if they ever have to use it, it will be ready and address three months after an event. That work will take time, is ongoing, and they have now learned the lesson that should have been learned after the civil unrest in Minneapolis to make sure residents can be supported as quickly and completely as possible. Commissioner Lunde stated on June 15, 2021, Hennepin County passed $5 million for support of different ways to limit the violence that may be occurring. Money was allocated to Hennepin County's Next Step program to pay for skilled professionals at the hospital to slow down the process, prevent retaliation, and the cycle of violence should it involve gang -related violence. Commissioner Lunde stated Hennepin County also put $1 million in the public defender's office to address the significant backlog of cases so people get their day in court because justice delayed is justice denied. He explained that if you have a pending court case and apply for an apartment that does a background check, it will show up. So, not giving someone the right to clear their name A something they have been accused of has residual effects including to the family. Commissioner Lunde stated Hennepin County is working with skilled violence interrupters/interceders who work on the street with youth and others to talk down situations or provide an alternative way of dispute resolution rather than the police roll out. The County is entering contracts and people can apply to provide those services. They have been talking with some in Brooklyn Center who are doing that work now to see if the County can augment their work. The County is trying to get the money to the street and he is happy to say it is now showing up in a variety of ways and targeted to people who are already doing the worlc, know what they are doing but need additional resources. Commissioner Lunde stated they added 4 FTEs in the County Attorney s office to support victims. He believes victims should be the center of our justice system, not anyone else. Victims are the only people who did not choose to be a participant in our justice system so we need to support 07/26/21 -7- them, noting if a family is the victim of a crime, Were can be four victims. He explained the County put that money into the County Attorney's office so those victims can feel like justice is being served in whatever method used. Commissioner Lunde stated there are cur7ent RFA3 related to food insecurity, they are easy and quick to apply for, are not competitive, and churches can cooperate and submit jointly. The County is also not asking for someone to prove they have been doing this for years. If they can deliver and a written plan on how they are doing it, they may be approved. The grants are up to $49,000. He encouraged anyone interested to make an application. Commissioner Lunde stated the County is offering RFAs for violence reduction as well. Commissioner Lunde stated he did not realize it was Youth in Govermnent Day but wanted to mention that tomorrow there will be a Board Action Request written by his office to establish a Youth Advisory Committee for the Hennepin County Library Board. He explained that during COVID they found just how much youth needed the library so they think the youth's voices need to be resonant from this point forward. He announced this fall they will establish a youth advisory for the juvenile system within the County. This can also include brothers and sisters of someone in the juvenile system to offer advice on how to make the juvenile system better and provide restorative justice. Commissioner Lunde provided his contact information and offered to hear comments and answer questions of the City Council. A youth member asked about the name of the group related to the library. Commissioner Lunde stated the Youth Advisory Committee for the Hennepin County Library Board will be heard in committee tomorrow and, hopefully, approved the following week. He stated if approved, he will provide information to City staff. Commissioner Lunde explained that each Commissioner will be able to name two members to this Committee. Mayor Elliott thanked Commissioner Lunde for his presentation and stated the City appreciates everything Hennepin County is doing to help the community. He stated when the uprising happened in Brooklyn Center, the City Council decided to not allow the use of tear gas or rubber bullets. He noted the University of Minnesota scientists released a research report and some of those members came to Brooklyn Center during the uprising and delivered comments on the use of tear gas and rubber bullets. That report found that in the wake of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the law enforcement response, 89 people were injured by those less -lethal weapons, 32 were sent to the emergency room due to tear gas, 10 were hit in the eye by rubber bullets, 16 suffered a traumatic brain injury, and 7 required emergency surgeries. Mayor Elliott stated he visited the apartments across from the Brooklyn Center Police Department and saw holes left in the walls that were left by rubber bullets and residents said they were overcome by the tear gas coming into their apartments. Those residents also recounted the actions they took, such as using children's mattresses to brace against the window to absorb the impact of the rubber bullets. Mayor Elliott stated he saw residents who have injured and the open wounds left by rubber bullets. 07/26/21 -8- Mayor Elliott referenced the recommendation from the American Lung Association that anyone exposed to tear gas should immediately leave the area and seek higher ground. He noted, however, that the folks in those apartments were not able to do that as there was unrest all around them and many could not physically leave their apartments. The young people who experienced rubber bullets hitting against their doors and windows still react to any loud sound or commotion outside their building by hiding underneath their beds. Mayor Elliott stated the use of tear gas has been outlawed by international war conventions, in treaties, they are not allowed to use them in war, and the Brooklyn Center City Council appropriately, forward -leaning, and forward -thinking in human rights, outlawed the use of those tactics. Mayor Elliott stated the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners voted on banning the use of tear gas and rubber bullets. He noted Commissioner Lunde represents this area and voted against that. Mayor Elliott asked Commissioner Lunde why he voted against banning the use as it is inevitable that all departments will stop using those forms of munitions. Commissioner Lunde stated you need to understand the measure had no power so it is what he calls a `nothing resolution.' He explained that Hennepin County does not have the power, to tell the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department what tactics they may or may not use. That is the fact so the resolution carried no weight and he thinks it did a dis-service as it acts like the County Board is doing something when they are not. Commissioner Lunde stated he does not vote for anything resolutions as it changes nothing but made it look like the Board did something. He stated the Board can influence, suggest, request, nudge, but they do not have the power to dictate to the Sheriff's Department the tactics they use. Commissioner Lunde stated since then and in cooperation with the Sheriff's Department, the County Board did ask for research on what other tactics and methods could be used for crowd control that would eliminate the need for `less lethal' but injurious methods. He stated if money needs to be appropriated to adopt those tactics or equipment, that is where the Board is at and will cooperate with the Sheriff's Department. Mayor Elliott stated he appreciates Commissioner Lunde's commitment to doing something. He noted sometimes all we can do is at least voice our support for change. He noted Commissioner Lunde had been the Brooklyn Park Mayor for a very long time and these bodies take symbolic actions all the time, which Commissioner Lunde knows. Mayor Elliott stated the Brooklyn Center City Council took action to call for the end of violence in certain parts of Africa, for instance. They also took a vote to support the establishment of Juneteenth as a federal holiday, all things the City Council does not necessarily have the power to do but their voice symbolically helps to move the tide in the right direction. Mayor Elliott stated it is in that spirit that he, as one representative in Brooklyn Center, would implore Commissioner Lunde to support, even if it is simply symbolic by resolution and does not direct the Sheriff's Department on what they can and cannot do. He noted it would be one more voice in the direction to move this closer to a better system to keep people safe. He stated it does 07/26/21 -9- an incredible amount of good to support a resolution like that and encouraged Commissioner Lunde, in the future, to put his voice on the scale toward moving us in that direction. Mayor Elliott thanked Commissioner Lunde for his service and actions taken to help the comuni mty by providing resources. He stated we are all in this together and part of one community that is in the midst of transformation. Commissioner Lunde stated he looks forward to that, noting he talks with Dr. Edwards and Ms. Beekman often and will continue to reach out to the City to learn if there are ways the County can do things differently or better and assure it is done hand -in -hand with the efforts of the City's teams. 7c. RESOLUTION NO. 2021-94 EXPRESSING RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION TO KELLI WICK, HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR FOR OVER 25 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER Dr. Edwards introduced the item and acknowledged Kelli Wick's 25 years of service to the City of Brooklyn Center and tremendous work done on behalf of the City's residents and businesses. He described her contributions and raised his voice in acknowledging Ms. Wick, noting she came to work for the City as a teenager and the City has benefited from her service and dedication. At the invitation of Mayor Elliott, Youth Mayor Nnadi read in full a Resolution expressing recognition and appreciation to Kelli Wick, Human Resources Director for over 25 years of service to the City of Brooklyn Center, Mayor Elliott thanked Ms. Wick for her many years of service to Brooklyn Center, stating the City is grateful. Dr. Edwards again extended his thanks and wished Ms. Wick the best in her future endeavors. Councilmember Butler moved and Mayor Elliott seconded to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2021-94 Expressing Recognition and Appreciation to Keili Wick, Human Resources Director, for over 25 years of Service to the City of Brooklyn Center. Motion passed unanimously. 7d. BROOKLYN CENTER ENTREPRENEURSHIP MARKET STRATEGY FINAL REPORT This item was tabled upon the adoption of the agenda. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS 8a. ORDINANCE NO, 2021-02 AMENDING CHAPTER 35 OF THE CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES REGARDING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF 6221 SHINGLE CREEK PARKWAY 07/26/21 -10- Dr. Edwards introduced the item, noting this has become before the City Council for first reading and involves the Crest Apartments' building expansion. He invited Ms. McIntosh to make the staff presentation. City Planner Ginny McIntosh stated this is the second reading and public hearing for 6221 Shingle Creek Parkway, also known as the Crest Apartments located just south of City Hall. She reviewed the background for this item, noting the Crest Apartments LLC applied to numerous requests including site and building plan approval for a 48-unit building addition to providing more family 2- and 3-bedroom units, convert existing office space and existing 122-unit apartment building, and related site improvements including the parking lot and stormwater improvements. There were also requests to establish a Planned Unit Development (PUD), an amendment to the zoning map and code to remove the property from the Central Commerce Overlay District, and an amendment to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to allow for greater density within the Commercial Mixed Use designation. Ms. McIntosh stated tonight the consideration is the establishment of a PUD and amendment to the zoning map to remove the property from the Central Commerce Overlay District. The Planning Commission reviewed this application on June 10, 2021, held a public hearing, and unanimously recommended approval. On June 28, 2021, the City Council considered these requests and unanimously approved the requests except the Comprehensive Plan amendment that requires an additional step through the Metropolitan Council. On June 28, 2021, the City Council set the second reading and public hearing for this evening. A public hearing notice was published in the Sin Post on July 8, 2021. Ms. McIntosh presented details of the request for a PUD and rezoning from R-7 to PUD/MXC, which is Commercial Mixed Use underlying and aligns with the Comprehensive Plan's designation for this property. She explained PUDs allow flexibility and developments that would not typically be allowed for with current regulations. Ms. McIntosh stated the City is currently undergoing a major update to the zoning code as it has not been updated in many decades. These PUD0 are typically used to achieve a higher quality development or meet other City goals in exchange for flexibility. However, the project must still comply with Watershed, State, stormwater, erosion control, and wetland requirements. She noted the major point is that the property is moving from R-7 to PUD/MXC. Ms. McIntosh stated the second request is for the removal of this property from the Central Commerce Overlay District, which is moot on residential uses. Therefore, residential is not an allowed use in this district, which is home to a few multi -family residential properties that predate this district. She described those multi -family residential properties and the number of units in each. Ms. McIntosh stated with the zoning code update, the outcome is likely that this overlay district will be revised or go away. She read the language that was published in the notice. Ms. McIntosh reviewed the requested action tonight to open the public hearing, take public input, close the public hearing, approve the second reading and adopt the ordinance, and adopt a resolution for summary publication. 07/26/21 -11- Councilmember Butler moved and Mayor Elliott seconded to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Randy Christensen stated he listened to the presentations on this application and thinks it will be a great opportunity for Brooklyn Center to have some 3-bedroom units. He supported moving this application forward. No one else appeared to address this item. Councilmember Lawrence -Anderson moved and Mayor Elliott seconded to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Ryan moved and Councilmember Lawrence -Anderson seconded to approve Second Reading and adopt ORDINANCE NO. 2021-94 Amending Chapter 35 of the City Code of Ordinances regarding the Zoning Classification of 6221 Shingle Creek Parkway. Motion passed unanimously. 9. PLANNING COMMISSION ITEMS None. 10. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS None. 11. COUNCIL REPORT Councilmember Lawrence -Anderson stated she would forego her report in the interest of time. Councilmember Butler stated she met with Mn/DOT on the 252 Project to get an update on that process. She also met with Councilmember Graves and a staff member of Georgetown Townhouses, Councilmember Ryan stated he met with Legislators regarding the final disposition of several State legislative items after the session. He will report on them further at the next meeting. Mayor Elliott stated he continues to meet with folks who are interested in helping implement and provide technical support for the resolution. Once that process is up and running, he will provide a formal update for the City Council 12, ADJOURNMENT 07/26/21 -12- Councilmember Lawrence -Anderson moved and Mayor Elliott seconded adjournment of the City Council meeting at 8:39 p.m. Motion passed unanimously.
