ABSENT: None. Mayor Lunde opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance. 2A RESPONSE TO PRIOR PUBLIC COMMENT City Manager Verbrugge stated at the January 7 meeting, the operators at Sammy Perrella s Pizza addressed the Council regarding property taxes and questions they had on valuation assessments. He stated City Assessor Marvin Anderson prepared a memo and had given it to the Council. He stated in this case, the valuation of Park Place Promenade is a development owned by HJ Development, and Sammy s was one of the businesses operating there. He stated state law requires the assessor to value all property at market value as of January 2 of each year. He stated for commercial and industrial properties, they looked at the cost, income and sales comparison approaches to set the values, and the approaches were defined by the Appraisal Institute, the guiding standard of appraisers in the country, as the best way to determine valuation. He stated state law required the assessor to be within a range of 90 105 percent of Market Value. He stated that HJ Development first contested the value of the property in tax court for taxes payable in 2009 and each subsequent year. He stated the property owner hired a property tax consultant to work with the City to negotiate settlement values and had met numerous times over the last two years to agree on taxable values. He stated they traded offers and the City s final offer was sent on December 10, 2012 and had yet to receive a response. He stated the trial was scheduled in tax court for June 28, 2013 and is currently preparing for the trial. He stated the City Assessor and Commercial Appraiser met with the owners of Sammy s Pizza on January 4, 2013, prior to addressing the Council, and talked about valuation of property and property taxes and the difference from 2012 to 2013. He stated they invited them back to follow up on the concerns addressed at the Council meeting. He stated staff also heard from the owner of Taj Salon with similar concerns and the property owner and staff were following
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 2 procedures in settling valuation disputes and if an agreement was not made, they would be in court on June 28. At 7:07 p.m., Council Member Gates arrived. 2B PUBLIC COMMENT Peter Crema, 8912 Windsor Terrace, stated there would be a fundraiser on February 2 at the Osseo Legion for the family of Nick Cisewski. He stated Nick was a 9 th grade student at Osseo Junior High School and was having headaches in late August and September. On November 20, he had a seizure and was taken to the hospital where they discovered he had a malignant brain tumor. He stated Nick died on December 16 and left behind his mother, dad, brother and sister. A group of families that knew him through various sports in the City, are doing a fundraiser at the Osseo Legion. Tickets were available by contacting Jennifer.millete@genmills.com or making a donation. He stated a lot of businesses have been phenomenal in donating their products or services for the silent auction for the event. 3A MOTION GATES, SECOND CREMA TO APPROVE THE AGENDA AS SUBMITTED BY THE CITY CLERK. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 3B1 Police Chief Michael Davis briefed Council on the contributions received from Residential Mortgage Group Inc. and Milorad Miketic. 3B1 MOTION LUNDE, SECOND GATES TO WAIVE THE READING AND ADOPT RESOLUTION #2013 10 ACKNOWLEDGING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CITY OF BROOKLYN PARK.

He introduced Representative Melissa Hortman, Senator Chris Eaton and Senator John Hoffman and they addressed the Council. Assistant City Manager Sable went over the legislative program and stated it was a document that evolved over time in conversation and if the Council saw items missing or incomplete to let him know because staff wanted to get it right.
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 3 Council Member Knight stated she saw two elements that needed to be incorporated in the platform, the Mississippi River and tying the core values to policy the Council addresses such as diversity, disparities and equity. Mayor Lunde agreed with the Mississippi River element because the idea of local input and local control was the biggest thing as the City helped the residents. The City didn t necessarily have the same rules that may exist elsewhere on the river. He stated that any proposals that pertained to the river and the properties still maintain that local decision making involved with land use might not be a state issue Council Member Trepanier stated the Mississippi River was a key issue and people should be involved up front instead after the fact and out of respect, people should be included before, rather than told after. City Manager Verbrugge stated staff had that language before regarding the river and would revisit it and send it out to the Council. He stated as long as it was consistent with where everybody was, would add it in and if anyone raised objections they would bring it back and amend the priorities at a later time. He stated in the previous language, they recognized the need to move cautiously on anything related to the river and that was still relevant today. Council Member Trepanier suggested adding language to say specifically the people who are directly affected. Assistant City Manager Sable asked Council Member Knight about where to address the core values. If it would be appropriate on the back page underneath the core values or if he was to add some language in a different section of the document? Council Member Knight stated she was looking under Housing, Neighborhood and Stability. Beyond that, she had not thought out any specific language to add. Mayor Lunde thanked the Legislators for attending, and addressing the Council. He stated they should contact the Council, City Manager or Director Aarsvold, if they needed anything. 3B3 MOTION LUNDE, SECOND TREPANIER TO ADOPT THE 2013 CITY OF BROOKLYN PARK LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM WITH THE AMENDED COMPONENTS AS DISCUSSED. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 4.0 MOTION GATES, SECOND CREMA TO APPROVE THE FOLLOWING ADMINISTRATIVE CONSENT ITEM:

MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 8.1 Planning and Development Director Cindy Sherman briefed Council on liquor regulations and asked Council for direction on the Star Liquor license. Mr. Kenneth Streeter, 6900 Winnetka Circle, addressed the Council. He stated he had operated in the City for over 30 years until redevelopment at Zane and Brooklyn Boulevard. Mr. Streeter
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 5 asked the Council to honor, for a two year period, an original agreement he had with the City to relocate anywhere in the City. Council Member Mike Trepanier stated he didn t remember the specifics of the original offer and asked Ms. Sherman if anything was in the file that would help Council. Ms. Sherman stated they reviewed the agreement and there was nothing in the file that referenced a time line. Council Member Jordan inquired if there was a settlement agreement and if there was mention of any rights other than legal rights. Ms. Sherman stated there was an agreement and no to any rights but deferred it to the attorney. City Attorney Mike Norton stated he had not seen a settlement agreement, but if nothing was in the settlement agreement in terms of condemnation action, all those rights would have been settled at that time. Council Member Jordan inquired if there was a gentlemen s agreement, could that be interpreted as a right. Is there a reasonable expectation this could go on for seven years? Could the other party sue based on this? Mr. Norton stated there would be little chance of an owner winning in litigation with the information. Council Member Mata stated he was confused and wanted to know if there was an agreement that needed to be honored. Ms. Sherman stated there was a side agreement, which was not written down. It was part of a discussion. Mr. Jason Aarsvold stated there were two things that happened. There was a moratorium and it was while the Village North redevelopment was happening and during the moratorium, the Star Liquor license (as well as another license) was exempt from that moratorium. Council Member Trepanier stated he would like to know if there was a sequence of events that would help make sense of the issue. Mr. Aarsvold stated the following: Acquisition of Star Liquor was on going for several months,
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 6 Loss of Going Concern issue was going on when the Court ruled about the same time as the Council placed a moratorium, Staff was directed to hold a license for an unspecified period of time. Everything happened about the same time. Council Member Gates stated it s been ten years since the City acquired the property and that a time line was needed to be placed on the agreement. His only issue was the proximity and he thought one year was more than enough. Mayor Lunde stated conversations did happen and he liked the idea of putting an end date on the liquor license for Star Liquor. Council Member Trepanier stated he wanted to understand the sequence a little better and whatever the Council ended up doing, the license needed to be north of 93rd, unless a license freed up south of 93rd. Council Member Jordan stated it was about proximity and liked to know how a similar city measured distance. Ms. Sherman stated there had been studies done, but they were outdated and she would like to update the information. Council Member Crema stated he would like to honor the agreements of the past, but he agreed ten years was a long time to hold a license without anything happening. He stated it s important that conversations and records were maintained for this very reason. Council Member Mata stated that in Mr. Streeter s letter dated January 7, 2013, Mr. Streeter stated he was in discussions to purchase another store. Council Member Mata asked if he was submitting an application soon. Mr. Streeter stated they weren t looking for the last ten years because they had been focused on their other businesses. He stated they didn t feel there was a deadline and they felt they had a deal. He also stated they weren t planning on litigation. He stated they (Star Liquors) were asking for two years and he stated there was a cooperative effort on their part. He also stated that part of the original agreement didn t include the north and south limitations. Council Member Mata stated there was a license sitting out there and they needed to do something with it. Mr. Streeter stated that the building was taken in 2003, but the matter wasn t resolved at that time and that didn t happen until 2005.
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 7 Council Member Gates stated he was in agreement that the north and south of 93rd may not be the answer, but proximity was the concern and suggested using a number like 1500 feet instead of using the 93rd line. He also stated one year should be more than enough to settle the Star Liquor license. Mayor Lunde stated he would like to see more study related to proximity and other existing factors related to the issue. 8.1 MOTION LUNDE, SECOND KNIGHT TO ALLOW STAR LIQUOR TO RETAIN A LICENSE FOR NO LONGER THAN A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS. Council Member Crema offered a friendly amendment to the motion that they apply for the license retained for them within two years. Mr. Streeter stated he would like to know when the two years would begin, given that the Council had not established the final details (proximity, locations, etc.). Mr. Norton stated with respect to the above/below 93 rd Avenue, that could be adjusted tonight. When Mr. Streeter applies for his license, staff will adhere to whatever the current codes are. Mayor Lunde stated his intent was to bring what was understood to the application for the Star Liquor license. Council Member Jordan stated Council needed to make the proximity decision and from the point that decision was made, Mr. Streeter s agreement would begin. Council Member Gates stated he wanted to know if they should put a moratorium on all liquor licenses. He stated the example of MGM coming in, if there was a license available prior to the decision being made. Chief Davis stated research showed an unequivocal link between the proliferation/availability of alcohol and neighborhood livability, and it went toward the negative. Council Member Mata stated the timeline needed to be clarified for Mr. Streeter and Star Liquor and asked if the timeframe was to submit his application or to have the building done and doors ready to open. Mayor Lunde stated he would like to know how long the process takes for a license to be approved.
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 8 Planning and Development Director Sherman stated there was a hearing thirty days after the application was received and background checks have been completed. In this situation they would ask for the license pending the certificate of occupancy, if relying on a construction schedule. Council Member Mata asked if Star Liquor had a license right now. Ms. Sherman stated they did not have a license, just the right to a license and it was reserved for their use. She stated they would need to go through the whole process from start to finish for a new license. Mayor Lunde asked if a moratorium could be done in a night Ms. Sherman stated they had clarity based on previous conversations about limiting the number of licenses south of 93rd. If a license became available, Council had discretion and controls in place. She stated they could quickly complete a study and did not feel they needed a moratorium on liquor licenses, but deferred to Mr. Aarsvold. Mr. Aarsvold stated it was up to the Council what they wanted to do, but agreed with Ms. Sherman that they could get the work done quickly before it became an issue. Council Member Gates stated there was a motion on the floor and if he wanted to make a motion for a moratorium, could he do it now. Mayor Lunde stated he could as an amendment, link it to the motion that was currently on the floor, or vote down the existing motion. Council Member Gates stated he had a concern, if something closed tomorrow, if they did a moratorium, there should be an opportunity to get the residents involved based on a conversation with Mr. Aarsvold and Mr. Verbrugge. Council Member Trepanier stated he would like to keep the motions separate because if the Star Liquor license was passed before the other motion, then it would be subject to the current codes. Council Member Crema suggested withdrawing the motion regarding Star License. He stated they should do everything right. He also asked Ms. Sherman to check into the one per 4,000 residents and where that came from and what other cities do? 8.1 MAYOR LUNDE WITHDREW HIS MOTION AND SECONDER KNIGHT AGREED.
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 9 Ms. Sherman stated the following items were included in the 2005 study and would plan to ask: Do you limit the number of off sale liquor licenses in your city and then what limitations or qualifications do you have as they relate to off sale liquor licenses? How many off sale licenses did the city issue (based on population)? Was there a limit on licenses? Geographical distribution limits? Other catch all items (i.e. store size) 8.1 MOTION, GATES, SECOND LUNDE FOR A SIX MONTH MORATORIOUM ON ALL LIQUOR LICENSE APPLCIATIONS AND TO DO A STUDY OF NUMBER, DISTANCE, AND ARRAY OF QUESTIONS COUNCIL HAD TONIGHT AND ADD A COMPONENT OF RESIDENT INPUT. City Manager Verbrugge asked the City attorney for the process on establishing a moratorium because it was complicated process. City Attorney Norton stated Council would direct staff to bring back a draft of the interim ordinance for consideration that outlined the length of time recommend by staff or Council, the extent in nature of the study parameters including the parameters discussed tonight, also a provision for any waivers or exemption for applications already in, decide on the cutoff date, and what actions that may be in existence that are covered subject to the moratorium or not. City Attorney Norton stated if the motion passed, he would be interpreted as direction to staff to bring that back to Council and the reason they needed to do a zoning moratorium, based on his reading of the staff report, is that it had both liquor licensing regulations that applied to liquor licenses and zoning regulations that applied to liquor licensing. He stated from the discussion he heard, they were going to want to study both elements of it because some of the discussion tonight had gone into both areas and would not have a full discussion of the elements unless Council discussed both liquor regulations and zoning regulations. Council Member Jordan stated they should add the recommendation from the Police Chief to the study regarding demographics with other cities doing something. Ms. Sherman stated a hearing was set tonight to issue a new license and her intent would be to make them an exception to the moratorium. Mr. Verbrugge stated the date was for February 19 and it s the discretion of the Council how they wanted to treat that process, along with warning of possible adverse consequences. Mr. Gordy Aune, Jr., resident, questioned the number of licenses per 3,000 vs. 4,000 people and there was a cap of 12 licenses south of 93 rd Avenue. He asked if that meant there were 36,000 people south of 93 rd Avenue.
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 10 Mr. Aarsvold clarified that the number was one for every 4,000 people and 93 rd Avenue had nothing to do with respect to population whatsoever; it was a line that Council made for policy. Mayor Lunde stated there was a motion for a moratorium and directed staff to put together the language. Council Member Jordan stated there was a motion but had to discuss the one that was on the consent agenda and had to figure that out. He stated they were in process; they existed already and thought the Council should exempt them because the Council was really talking about future locations. Council Member Crema stated he agreed with Council Member Jordan with regard to the exemption and had a question about the location on the map. City Manager Verbrugge stated the previous site was on highway 81 and 63 rd Avenue and the proposed site was further east towards the bottom corner of the map. Council Member Crema stated it was further away from the other store on 63 rd and not clustered by anything. Council Member Mata asked if the Council put a six month moratorium to hold all license and if the study was done in a month or six weeks, did the moratorium continue until the six months was over or could it end at the time when the Council made a decision on it? City Attorney Norton stated Council could put language in the moratorium ordinance to the effect if Council wished to adopt it, that the moratorium would be for six months or until Council took final action on any recommendation. He stated if the study was done in three months, there would be no reason to continue the remaining three month moratorium and could lift it. He stated he had a recommendation, to indicate in the moratorium ordinance, to have an exemption element in it. Something to the effect to matters already in process that have been before Council before. He stated could or should it be exempted; thought it was a reasonable result and encouraged Council to have staff assist them in making a record when doing the moratorium, why they were doing it and there would be facts in there. He recommended Council hold their discussion on whether to exempt an existing application until that period of time and the decision was to exempt the entity. He stated staff would assist Council in making a good factual record as to why they were doing that rather than trying to make a record tonight. Mr. Aarsvold stated this was a fine approach and anticipated over the next six months there might be a situation such as name or ownership change and wanted to know how staff should deal with those special conditions or exemptions.
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 11 Council Member Gates asked if it made sense to withdraw his motion and direct staff to come back with the moratorium language. City Attorney Norton stated his recommendation would be to act on the pending motion and then if there were some issues that Council wanted staff to address but not decide tonight, for example, if there was a change of business entity but the location was going to stay the same, should that come under the moratorium. He stated he would talk to Mr. Thomson and could work with staff based on their discussions tonight to put it in the moratorium ordinance. He stated if there were some specific issues, there was nothing wrong with putting them forth tonight and would come back with a comprehensive ordinance with as many of the issues they could think of to have Council resolve when it was heard. Council Member Gates wanted to make sure the language being voted on covered all the bases and wanted to know if he should withdraw his motion. City Attorney Norton stated legally it made no sense to withdraw it and Council could decide to just give staff direction. City Attorney Norton stated there was a legal aspect of having the Council state on the record that they wanted to place a moratorium on the uses for public record and people would know and was appropriate and important. He stated for that reason he didn t think the motion should be withdrawn unless the Council decided to withdraw it. Council Member Trepanier stated he would like the motion read so it s clear what they are voting on and then discuss any language that needed to be put in. City Clerk Montero restated the motion on the floor: Six month moratorium on all liquor licenses, Do a study based on the questions posed tonight, Add a component of resident input. Council Member Trepanier asked if the motion was going to do what Council talked about what they wanted to do. City Attorney Norton stated that it did and staff had a good idea of what Council would like to have in it. He stated if there were some specific issues that had not been stated tonight that Council wanted staff to consider, they could add them. He stated it wasn t needed to be part of motion because it could be too cumbersome and could add direction to staff if they desired. Council Member Jordan stated the motion was to do a moratorium and asked if it should be to direct staff to draft a moratorium.
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 12 City Attorney Norton stated the moratorium motion was appropriate and once Council considers the discussion and votes on the six month moratorium, Council could then give staff any other direction they wished, but staff had a good idea of what Council wanted to see. Mr. Aarsvold stated staff understood the direction Council wanted staff to go with regard to the ordinance. He stated there would be two readings of the ordinance and opportunities for tweaking the ordinance. 8.1 VOTE ON THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. 9A COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Council Member Crema stated he and the Mayor attended the Many Faces of Brooklyn Park and Martin Luther King Talent Showcase. He stated because it was very cold, the attendance was down and thanked everyone involved in putting the event together. Council Member Trepanier stated he attended the Multi Cultural Affairs Committee meeting and it used to be in partnership with the City of Brooklyn Center and now they were doing their own committee as the City of Brooklyn Park. He stated it was helpful to the community in the past and now more helpful because the focus will be in the City. He stated this past week he was in Los Angeles and his trip was not paid by the City, because they were invited to share information about citizen engagement. He stated compared to the other cities he was glad to have what the City had because the City was on the right track and on the leading edge with interacting with the citizens in order to bring down crime, improved neighborhoods and stability. Council Member Knight stated she was a Fellow at the Humphrey Institute and their last session talked about civic engagement. She stated they had two leading speakers on civic engagement and the pioneer area now for civic engagement was in the work place and they were working on a project and looking at best practices for immigrant communities and whether the dominant model actually worked, but liked to incorporate some of the workplace engagement in their work. Mayor Lunde stated he attended a community meeting held by Continental Properties and their proposal for a market rate upscale rental near the Target Complex. He stated they were targeting workers that were not looking to purchase but looking at rentals. He stated they talked about the ABC ratings for apartments and the City did not have Class A apartment amenities, price and function which would be something new in the City. He stated there were two hearings tonight, and two tomorrow, and gave them credit for taking the City s new standard on how to engage people and set up meetings. He stated discussion was also held on
BROOKLYN PARK COUNCIL MEETING; JANUARY 22, 2013 Page 13 what kind of workers would be renting, and how people were leaving Target because they didn t want to move to the City without Class A rentals. 9B CITY MANAGER REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS City Manager Verbrugge clarified that six of the seven team members going to Los Angeles were covered by the Kellogg Foundation and one team member was an expense to the City. He stated there would be a more comprehensive presentation on their sessions and would have more about community engagement initiatives in a couple of weeks for the Council. He gave an update on the Brooklyn Bridge Alliance and stated the Council approved a revised Joint Powers Agreement with partners in the Alliance last summer that committed financial resources from the partnering entities for the purpose of hiring an executive director for the Alliance to do the work that was described in the Alliance s strategic plan. He stated it was focused on combating conditions that challenged hope in youth and focused on leveraging all different resources and programs the partner entities provided for youth to make sure they were having a maximum effect. He stated the partners were: Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Hennepin County, Osseo area schools, Anoka Hennepin Schools, Brooklyn Center Schools, Robbinsdale Schools and ex officio members, Hennepin Community College and Hennepin Technical College. He stated today the board of directors for the Brooklyn Bridge Alliance in their first meeting approved the hiring of an executive director, Ms. Rebecca Gilgen, currently a senior planning analyst with Hennepin County. He stated she was a consultant to the City and worked with the City on the Youth Violence Prevention Initiative with establishing performance measures and data tracking so the City could evaluate the program. He stated she would be starting in a couple of weeks and would introduce her to the Council and to talk more about the work of the Alliance. ADJOURNMENT With consensus of the Council, Mayor Lunde adjourned the meeting at 9:05 p.m. DEVIN MONTERO, CITY CLERK JEFFREY JONEAL LUNDE, MAYOR
