EDA STAFF REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING
4720 Douglas Dr — Sale of Lot to Novak-Fleck
FROM: John Sutter, City Planner/Assistant Community Development Director `a�
DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director�G�
DATE:
TO:
January 30, 2014
Anne Norris, Executive Director (for February 3, 2014 EDA meeting)
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider a resolution authorizing the sale of lot at 4720
Douglas Drive North to Novak-Fleck for construction of a new house
On January 21 the EDA tentatively accepted a proposal from Novak-Fleck to purchase the lot
at 4720 Douglas Drive North for $50,000. Novak-Fleck has a Minnesota Residential Building
Contractor license with no enforcement actions.
The proposed house would be similar to the one recently built at 5533 Xenia:
� Two car attached garage (unknown whether there would be space to add a third stall)
• 972 sq. ft. on the upper level, with an open living-dining-kitchen area, two bedrooms and
one bathroom.
� 912 sq. ft. on the lower level, with one bedroom and one bathroom finished now plus a
laundry/mechanical room and space for a combination of additional bedrooms and/or a
family room to be finished later.
The builder would have preferred to option this lot, but could not because they are also
optioning 5824 Regent and EDA guidelines limit the number of lots a builder may option.
Instead, the builder seeks to go ahead and purchase 4720 Douglas, but is requesting the
flexibility to increase the size, features and finishing of the proposed house depending on
market conditions and buyer interest. As discussed on January 21, staff would have the
discretion to review and approve house plans that result in greater features and larger size,
provided the new plan would still be consistent with the EDA's guidelines.
The proposal meets city code including zoning, and also is in conformance with the EDA's lot
sale guidelines. Lot sale closing is anticipated in early February, with construction start by
spring 2014 and house completion by summer 2014.
The proposed resolution, 2012 aerial photo, site sketch and house plan are attached.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: After holding the public hearing and receiving any testimony,
consider adopting the attached resolution authorizing the property sale.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF CRYSTAL
2013 Annual Report
The Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal ("the EDA") formulates and
implements the city's redevelopment and housing improvement programs. It operates
under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 469, and has powers similar to a
Housing & Redevelopment Authority.
For residential property, EDA activities generally involve using voluntary acquisitions to
replace blighted, structurally substandard or functionally obsolete houses; or providing
assistance to homeowners to help them make improvements to their houses. Multi-
family and commercial/industrial redevelopment are typically accomplished in larger,
more complex projects made possible by a combination of different funding sources;
they also sometimes require participation by multiple government agencies, non-profit
organizations and businesses.
As in previous years, the EDA recommended and the Council approved an EDA levy to
provide funding for redevelopment activities.
The following are specific descriptions of 2013 EDA activities:
1. Sinqle Familv Residential - Scattered Site Redevelopment
12 lots were sold in 2013. As of December 31, 2013 seven houses have been
completed and sold, two are nearly complete, two are under construction and
one is scheduled to start construction in spring 2014.
a) Lots Sold in 2013:
1. 4330 Zane (acquired 1999)
2. 5527 Xenia (acquired 2007)
3. 4343 Xenia (acquired 2007)
4. 5657 Adair (acquired 2007)
5. 6529 50t" (acquired 2009)

14. 5332 50th (acquired 2012)

Lot sales from 1998-2013 are summarized in the attached Exhibits A(map) and
B(chart), with detailed information about 2010-2013 lot sales in Exhibit C.
2. Sinqle Familv Residential - Scattered Site Acquisition and Rehabilitation
The EDA does not acquire and renovate houses because city-managed rehab
projects are not a very cost-effective way of advancing the city's housing goals
when compared with other approaches. Instead, the city utilizes a combination of
regulatory tools, rehab incentives, and other agencies' programs to encourage
home renovations by homeowners, investors, contractors and others in the
private sector.
3. Sinqle Familv Residential - Home Improvement Incentive Rebates
In 1998, Crystal and four other communities partnered with the Greater
Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) to provide an incentive rebate for
improvements to owner occupied homes. Households up to 120% of Twin Cities
metropolitan area median income are eligible. Funding for this program initially
came from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and the Metropolitan
Council. After these outside agencies' funds were exhausted, the EDA approved
the use of local funds including available increment from expiring TIF districts to
maintain the program.
144 Crystal homeowners used the rebate program in 2013. The approximate
locations are mapped in Exhibit D.
PAGE20F4
4.
5.
The total and average 2013 rebates are as follows:
TOTAL 2013 TOTAL PAID BY TOTAL COST OF ALL
REBATES + HOMEOWNERS = 2013 PROJECTS
$219,220 $1,345,041 $1,564,261
AVERAGE 2013 AVERAGE PAID BY AVERAGE COST PER
REBATE + HOMEOWNER = 2013 PROJECT
$1,522 $9,341 $10,863
Sinqle Familv Residential — Deferred Home Improvement Loans
Since 1982, Crystal has used part of its federal Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) allocation to provide interest-free home improvement loans to
households up to 50% of regional median income. Repayment is deferred for 15
years and then forgiven if the recipient continues to own and occupy the property
throughout that time. Households from 50% to 80% of regional median income
are also eligible but those loans are interest-bearing. Hennepin County
administers this program for Crystal as it does for nine other cities.
By reducing and eventually eliminating the use of CDBG funds for scattered site
redevelopment, the city increased funding for deferred loans in 2000-2002 and
since then has maintained a relatively stable annual funding level of $80,000-
$90,000. In addition to the annual allocation, the program also recaptures
previously loaned funds in cases where the homeowner sells or moves out within
the 15 year term.
During the twelve months ending September 30, 2013, $34,000 was spent on
rehab projects and $60,000 was committed for additional projects. Three
projects were started and four projects were completed, with no properties on the
waiting list.
Sinqle Familv Residential — Tax Increment Districts for Housinq Renewal
In 2013 the EDA provided $5,000 in down payment assistance for a buyer of a
vacant house using an FHA 203K purchase-rehab loan. The funds will be
recaptured if the homeowner moves out or sells the property within five years.
This program is being discontinued due to low level of interest (only one project
in each of the last three years).
These funds are now being used for an interest rate write-down for the
Community Fix-Up Fund which provides home improvement loans to Crystal
homeowners.
PAGE30F4
6. Multi-Familv Residential Redevelopment
The Cavanagh (5401 51St Avenue North). In October 2012 the EDA acquired the
8.3 acre Cavanagh property from Robbinsdale Area Schools which had
determined that it no longer needed the property. In December 2012 the EDA
transferred the east 4 acres to the city for park purposes. In April 2013 the EDA
completed the demolition of the school with funding from Metropolitan Council for
asbestos abatement and Hennepin County for demolition. The EDA has
approved the sale of the west 4.3 acres to a private developer (Dominium) for
construction of affordable senior housing ("The Cavanagh"). It will be a four
story, 130 unit, age-restricted rental building addressed as 5401 51St Avenue
North. Unit sizes will range from 1 BR-1 BA to 2BR-2BA and all units will be
affordable to households at or below 60% of Twin Cities metropolitan area
median income. Construction of The Cavanagh will begin in spring 2014 and be
completed in summer 2015. The approved plan for The Cavanagh is attached
as Exhibit E.
7. Commercial and Industrial Redevelopment
No EDA-involved development activity in 2013.
8. Land Bankinq for Future Redevelopment
In addition to the more immediate redevelopment activities discussed in Section
1, the EDA also takes advantage of opportunities to acquire and hold property
for future development. These parcels will be sold depending on market
conditions, site characteristics and the status of adjacent properties. As of
December 31, 2013 the EDA is holding the following vacant parcels for future
development:
1. 3240 Hampshire (acquired 2000)
2. 3556 Major (acquired 2002 - private donation)
3. 3409 June (acquired 2003 - tax forfeit)
4. 3122 Douglas Dr (acquired 2003)
5. 5901 56th (acquired 2008)
6. 4824 56th (acquired 2009)
7. 4741 Welcome (acquired 2009)
8. 3401, 3415 and 3443 Douglas Dr (acquired 2009)
9. 5417 35t" (acquired 2010)
10. 5565 Vera Cruz (acquired 2011 - tax forfeit)
11. 3354 Douglas Dr and 6213 34t" (acquired 2011)
12. 3443 Edgewood (acquired 2012 - tax forfeit)
A map of city and EDA-owned property as of December 31, 2013 is attached as

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF CRYSTAL
2014 Work Proqram
1. Deferred Home Improvement Loans (administered by Hennepin County)
$100,000 planned expenditures (all Community Development Block Grant)
This ongoing program is administered by Hennepin County and offers no-interest
loans to Crystal homeowners below 50% of Twin Cities metropolitan area median
income. The anticipated funding level would typically allow four projects in
Crystal per year. The loans are 100% forgiven after 15 years provided the
homeowner continues to own and occupy the property; if they sell or move, the
loan is due and payable in full, and the recaptured funds would be used to assist
another homeowner in a similar manner. Also available are deferred loans with a
modest interest charge for homeowners between 50% and 80% of AMI, but
these are funded by other sources. The county's administrative costs are
embedded within overall CDBG funding.
2. Home Improvement Incentive Rebates (administered by GMHC)
$272,000 planned expenditures
• $228,000 from TIF Housing Districts
• $44,000 from EDA Fund
This ongoing program offers a rebate for homeowners who complete home
improvement projects. The program is administered by the non-profit Greater
Metropolitan Housing Corporation ("GMHC") at its Housing Resource Center
located at 2148 44th Avenue North in Minneapolis. Homeowners with household
income less than 50% of Twin Cities metro area median income ("AMI") qualify
for a 20% rebate (TIF-funded); 50%-80% AMI qualify for a 15% rebate (TIF-
funded); 80%-120% AMI qualify for a 10% rebate (EDA-funded). Households
over 120% AMI are not eligible.
To be eligible for a rebate, the application must be made before beginning the
project, and the project must have a total cost of at least $2,000. No property
may receive rebates totaling more than $10,000 in one year.
3. Communitv Fix-Up Fund Interest Rate Buv-Down (administered by GMHC)
$25,000 planned expenditures from TIF Housing Districts
The EDA will provide funds to buy down the interest rate for Crystal homeowners
using Community Fix-Up Fund loans from GMHC's Housing Resource Center.
Maximum household income is 100% of the Twin Cities metro area median
income (if a household of 1-2 people) or 115% (if a household of 3+ people).
PAGE 1 OF 2
Minimum loan is $2,000; maximum is $35,000. Maximum loan-to-value ratio is
110% of the after-rehab value. Maximum loan term is 10 years (for loans up to
$10,000) or 20 years (for loans over $10,000). The interest rate, normally 5.75%,
will be discounted to 3%. There are no administrative costs for the EDA.
4. Scattered Site Acquisition/Demolition and Lot Sales
$100,000 planned expenditures from EDA Fund
$285,000 planned revenues to EDA Fund
This would be a continuation of the city's longstanding acquisition, demolition and
lot sale program. The adopted budgets are based on two properties being
acquired/demolished and six lots being sold for new house construction, although
actual property purchases and sales would depend on market conditions and
each transaction requires specific EDA board approval. As opportunities arise,
additional property acquisitions may be authorized by the EDA using the fund
balance.
6. Other Redevelopment
The Cavanagh (5401 51St Avenue North) will be a four story, 130 unit, age-
restricted rental building addressed as 5401 51St Avenue North. Unit sizes will
range from 1 BR-1 BA to 2BR-2BA and all units will be affordable to households at
or below 60% of Twin Cities metropolitan area median income. The EDA will sell
the 4.3 acre site to Dominium in the first quarter of 2014. Construction will begin
in spring 2014 and be completed in summer 2015.
Excess Hwy 100 Property from MnDOT. The EDA obligated $255,000 of
available increment from expired TIF District #1 (#2150) to acquire 5501 32"a
which is a 2.6 acre site zoned low density residential for up to 14 units. The
purchase will close as soon as Engineering staff and Three Rivers Park District
finalize an easement for the Bassett Creek Regional Trail which will be located
between this development site and the noise wall.
7. Redevelopment Fund Balance
The EDA board may authorize expenditure of part of its fund balances during the
year to respond to unforeseen opportunities. The amount available at any
particular time cannot be predicted because the fund balance varies throughout
the year depending on expenditures incurred and, especially, revenue from
unanticipated property sales. The EDA board would consider the condition of a
particular fund balance when considering expenditures from same.

1 The existing house may still be present but demolition is in the works.
This lot is mapped by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) as being within the Crystal Airport's 60 DNL
noise contour forecast for the year 2025. This is the lowest-level noise contour mapped by MAC in its plan for this
2 airport. Builders are encouraged but not required to construct the house in accordance with the Builders Guide
available from Metropolitan Council. This lot is not located in a Runway Protection Zone or Safety Zone for the
Crystal Airport.
This lot is adjacent to another EDA lot but both lots shall remain separate lots for construction of a single family
3 house on each lot. The EDA will not consider proposals to combine the lots or build a duplex. These adjacent lots
do not need to be purchased (or optioned) by the same builder.
4 Due to narrow lot width and the presence of an alley, the garage must be accessed from the alley not the street.
GENERAL NOTES:
The EDA considers proposals on a"first-come, first-served" basis. This means that the first proposal offering to buy the
lot and build a house meeting our guidelines will be presented to the EDA for their consideration. The EDA retains
absolute discretion to decide whether to accept any particular proposal.
Proposals must be submitted by state-licensed builders who have built at least three houses in Minnesota in the last five
years, or have equivalent experience acceptable to the EDA. The house may be built speculatively or for a specific buyer.
If you would be the house buyer, then your builder must submit the proposal; and if the proposal is accepted, then the
EDA would sell the lot to your builder.
The new house must be an owner-occupied, single family house. It must have at least three bedrooms, two bathrooms,
and a two-car garage (attached or detached, depending on the site). On a case-by-case basis, the EDA may also
consider the sale of a lot to provide a new location for an existing house currently located in Crystal. The moved house
would have to meet the general requirements described above, be brought up to current codes, and have a final value
and long-term viability comparable to a new house.
Builders may purchase a 6-month option on a lot for $500, renewabie for an additional 6 months for an additional $500.
The option provides the builder with exclusive rights to purchase the lot and build a house subject to the normal EDA
requirements and guidelines. As a condition of the option, the builder must list the lot with a to-be-built house on the MLS
for the duration of the option. The number of options is limited: The EDA will not approve additional options for a builder if
they already have more than 10% of the EDA's lots under option, and no more than 50% of the EDA's lots may be under
option at any time.

exceed $3,400,000. The Borrower proposes to use the proceeds of tlle Notes to be used to (i) refinance one
or more 30-year HUD loans for the Bot�rower's existing housing facilities for the disabled located in the
Cities of Golden Valley, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Plymouth, Hopkins, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, Maple
Grove, Brooklyn Park, and New Hope (the "Existing Facilities"); (ii) finance the acquisition of land and
the acquisition, construction, and equipping of a new facility proposed to be located in the City of Golden
Valley (the "New Facility," and collectively with tl�e Existing Facilities, the "Project"); (iii) fund any
required reserves; and (iv) pay the costs of issuance of the Notes.
The Notes are proposed to be issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended (the "Act"),
and Minnesota Statutes, Sections 471.59 and 471.656, as amended. Pursuant to the public notice
requirements of the Act and Section 147(� of the Inte��nal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
because a portion of the Project is located in the City, the City Council of tlle City is required to hold a public
hearing on the approval of the issuance of the Notes, a cooperative agreement to be entered into with the
other cities in which poctions of the Project are located (the "Coope►�ative Agreement"), and a housing
program prepared by the City of New Hope in accordance with the Act (the "Housing Progi�am"). However,
Section 5£103-2(d) of the Code provides that public hearings by multiple governmental units may be
combined into one public hearing as long as the combined hearing is a joint undertaking providing all of the
residents of the pai-ticipating governmental units a reasonable oppoi-tunity to be heard.
The attached 1'eSOIUtl017 designates Hennepin County, Minnesota ("Hennepin C011llij�") as the agent
responsible for conducting a combined public hea►•ing (the "Public Hearing") on behalf of the Cities of
438879v1 JAE Nr395-1
.. , � ... ., ..l. _ � , ..l. ■ ..
Golden Valley, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Plymouth, Hopkins, Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, Maple Grove, and
Brooklyn Park. The Public Hearing is expected to take place on Februaiy 25, 2014 or Mai•ch 11, 2014.
The City Council of t11e City of New Hope, as the issuer of the Notes, will conduct a separate public
hearing to satisfy the requirements of the Act and Section 147(� of the Code.
Following the Public Hearing to be conducted by Hennepin County, each City Council will be asked to
adopt a t�esolution approving the issuance of the Notes by the City of New Hope, authorizing tlle
execution of the Cooperative Agreeinent, and app►•oving the Housing Program. Our office will prepa�•e a
resolution for the City Council to consider at a meeting in March 2014.

SUBJECT: Council Chambers
The audio-visuallcable broadcast system equipment and lighting in the Council
Chambers are scheduled to be replaced and updated this year. Most of the currect
equipment was installed in the early 1990's when City Hall was remodeled.
There is $200,000 in the 2014 Permanent Improvement Revolving (PIR) fund for this
project. A staff committee is working with Tim Gaffron from Northwest Community
Television along with consultants from Emanuelson-Podas Consulting Engineers on the
design and equipment for the chambers.
Several upgrades and improvements have been identified, including changing out the
dais lighting, replacing the audio/speaker system and switching out the dais monitors.
In addition, the projector display may be replaced with large display monitors and the
Crestron system that controls the room lighting and display scources may be replaced.
The timeline for completion of the project is:
➢ January — February: Preparation of bid documents and advertising for bids
➢ March 17: Bid opening
➢ April 1: City approval of bidder
➢ June 18 — July 14: Installation of equipment
Depending on how the installation progresses, the July 15 City Council meeting may
need to be relocated or broadcasted in a different manner.
At the February 3 City Council work session, the committee and Tim Gaffron will be
available for questions. The committee is also interested in council feedback regarding
the changes and improvements to the chambers.

DATE: January 29, 2014
TO: Mayor and City Council
Anne Norris, City Manager
FROM: Charles Hansen, �Finance Director
SUBJECT: Discuss Financing Options for JWC Emergency Water Supply
Background:
The Joint Water Commission (JWC) has committed to add wells as an emergency
water supply backup. Two options for financing Crystal's share of the project have
been discussed. One was to participate in bonds that Golden Valley was going to issue
to finance the project. The other is to pay Crystal's share from cash on hand in the
Water Fund. Golden Valley has decided not to issue bonds on behalf of the JWC.
Crystal could still issue debt on its own to pay for its share of the project.
Crystal will pay a share of the project costs based on the water used by Crystal
customers compared to the total water used by all JWC customers. This share
fluctuates from year to year since water usage changes over time. This recently has
been in the range of 27% to 27.5%. It has been as high as 30% in past years. A 30%,
30%, 40% split (with Crystal being 30%) was cited at the joint city council meeting. The
final split for this project has yet to be determined.
Financing the CIP using cash to pay Crystal's share up-front, Alternative #1
Crystal could use the Water Fund's cash on hand to pay its share (about $1,215,000) of
the project.
The cash on hand scenario is shown in the Alternative #1 budget. The JWC — Capital
line is $1,215,000 higher than the 2014 Adopted Budget to reflect paying up-front.
Impact on the cash & investments is substantial. Even with faster rate increases in
2016 through 2018, cash & investments fall to about zero at the end of 2018.
Financing the emergency wells using bonds or an internal loan, Alternative #2
The City could issue bonds or set up an internal loan from another city fund to finance
its share of the emergency wells. There would be interest expense with either bonds or
an internal loan. Bonds would also incur some issuance costs.
A possible debt structure for bonds is shown on Attachment A. I assumed a ten year
life for the bonds. This minimizes total interest expense but results in higher annual
debt service payments than were contemplated with the Golden Valley bonds. I
assumed an average 2.5% interest rate. This is probably high, but there will be no way
to know until bonds are sold.
A possible debt structure for an internal loan could look similar with the same
assumptions for interest expense and annual payments. Interest should be paid since
the fund making the loan will lose investment income on the money that is loaned to the
Water Fund.
In this scenario, Crystal's water rates can increase at the same pace over the next five
years as proposed in the 2014 Adopted Budget. However, cash and investments will
be about $132,000 at the end of 2018, compared to about $1,068,000 in the 2014
Adopted Budget.

Other Unanticipated Capital Projects
Crystal's infrastructure is aging. It is probable that unanticipated breakdowns will
happen, causing additional capital projects besides the ones currently identified. This
will put additional financial stress on the Water Fund no matter which financing
alternative is chosen for the emergency wells.
Conclusion:
Each of the alternatives has drawbacks. Selling bonds requires payment of substantial
interest expense. Paying cash up front requires rapid water rate increases to generate
cash to take the place of bond financing. Future water rate increases may well exceed
the rate increases shown in any of the alternatives due to unanticipated capital projects.

Tom Mathisen, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Study Regarding DeCola Ponds/Winnetka Avenue and Medicine Lake
Road Flooding
There are flooding issues in the DeCola Ponds and Winnetka Avenue/Medicine Lake
Road area in Golden Valley and New Hope. Several years ago Golden Valley hired
Barr Engineering to complete a study of possible engineeringJpublic works solutions to
reduce or temper flooding in that area. The study report contained several public works
solutions which are cost-prahibitive and so, not realistic. Further discussions between
Golden Valley and Barr Engineering led to the conclusion the flooding issues needed to
be approached as a land use issue which would involve working with neighbors Crystal
and New Hope.
Barr Engineering is prepared to do a study of the land use issues, the cost of which
would be shared among the three cities (Crystal, Golden Valley and New Hope).
Since Crystal is at the praverbial top of the hill, we do contribute water to this area. In
the mid-1990's when the Crystal storm sewer work was done as part of thase street
reconstruction projects, the idea was primarily to get storm water aff roads and
driveways as quickly as possible. This doesn't necessarily address managing large
amounts of storm water that go ta Golden Valley (or anywhere else) with such tools as
retention ponds. The only retention pand that Crystal built in this area as is the small
ponding area that was created in Yunkers Park.
The proposed study would evaluate:
- Reducing impervious surfaces;
- Options for absorbing more water before it gets to Medicine Lake Road and
DeCala Ponds area;
- Long term land uses;
- M�re green space;
- Reduced road widths and parking areas; and
- Acquiring properties that may currently be impacted by flooding.
Based on discussion at a work sessian last May, Crystal sent a letter to Golden Valley
stating concerns and offering to pay $11,000 towards the cost of the study. The cities
of Golden Valley and New Hope requested the Bassett Creek Watershed Commission
to initiate mediation to try to resolve this matter. A mediation committee was created
and two meetings were held to discuss Crystal's concerns as well as the positions of
Golden Valley and New Hope. Members of the negotiating committee met with the
Crystal City Council on October 15 to hear concerns of the Crystal Council firsthand.
In November, the Mediation Committee recommended to Bassett Creek Watershed
that:
- The cost share formula for participation in the study should mirror the cost
share formula used for assessing annual watershed costs;
- Include language in the agreement for the study that participation in the study
does not set a precedent for cost sharing in any future studies or projects that
are identified in the study; and
- The contingency in the study proposal be eliminated and that any additional
costs beyond the original scope of study would need to be negotiated
between all 3 cities before those costs are incurred.
Attached is a revised Cooperative Project Agreement reflecting the recommendations
of the Mediation Committee.
The study costs have been updated and revised and the total cost of the study is
$110,400. Based on the cost share formula recommended by the Mediation
Committee, Crystal's share is $25,392. Below is the calculation of the three cities'
participation in the study.

Summary of Events
Section 12.1.1.3 (Dispute Resoluti�n Prvicess) of thQ Commission 200A Water N1anagement Plan (WMA)
contains language that allows cities to request the Commission's invAlvement in resolving disputes
between cities within the watershed. The cities of Golden Valley, New Hop� and Crystal carne to the
Commission and asked for assistance regardfng the distribution of c�sts for a Phase II study evaluating
flc�dirs is�u�; �n the M�dicine Lake Ro�d and ueCoia Ponds area. Per the requirements in the 2004
WMP, the commission appointed threp commissfoners (the Committee) to hear the dispute and make
rec�rrtmendatians ��u the full Board of commissioners.
On August 14, 2U13, the Committee met with the staff of all three cities' staff to discuss the areas af
disagreement and the preferred pr•ocess. In addition to hearin� fihe concerns fron� city staff, the
autcoi'ne o# that meeting was 1) that a round table type discussion process would be implemented ta
address the cities' concer�s (as opposed to a hearingtype process) a.nd 2) the recommendations ofthe
Gommittee ta address the issu�s w�uld not be bindfng on the parties. A second meeting was held �n
September 9, 2013 with city staff, and at tliis meetin� it was decided that the �'ommittee would meet

concerns.
The Commitlee met with the Crystal City Council on October 15, 201� and identifi�d Crystal's three
pri�nary issue�:
e The cost share formula for th� financial participatlon of each city (n the Phase II study is unfair ta
Cry�tal
o The City's cuncern that particiNation in the Phas� II study would obfigate it, or set a precedent,
for future cost sharing in any project(s) recommended in the Phdse II study; and

Recommendations
The CommitCee met on Ostober• 2$, 2U13 to discuss the issues, the information presented to the
Committee and the concerns rais�d at the October 1S, 2013 meeting. The following ar� the
recommEndations of the Cornmittee;
The committee entourages the BCWMC member cities to develcp their own cooperative agreements
for juintly conducting studies and projects. The fullowing recornmpndatibns are intended to addre.ss
this specific dispute between the cities of Golden Valley, New Hope and Crystal.
The cost share formula for the Phase II study should mirror the cost share formula used by the
Commission to assess annual BCWMC costs, but determined on the basis of the contributing
sub-watershecl(5090 based on the nettax capacity of all a mEmber city`s properties within the
boundaries of the contributing sub-watershed and 50� bas�d on the total area of a member city
within the boundaries of the wntributing sub-watershed);
2. Inch�de lar�guage in the �greement for the Nhas� II study stating clearty that participation in the
Phase 11 study does not set a preceden# for e�st sharing or obligate ary city to partieipate in
future studies or proJecCs identified in the Phase II r�commendatlons; and,
3. Rema�e the 25 percent contingency from the proposal far the study and include language that
any additional costs, assuciated with Items outside of the initial scope of work, would ne�d ta be
negotlated between the three cities before the costs could be incurr•ed.
Respectfully Subrnitted,

FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager ���� �'��`""�
SUBJECT: Request for Funding Community Mediatian Services
Several years ago, the Council adopted Resolution #2Q08-56, a policy regarding use of
charitable gambling proceeds. The policy outlines the type of services or organizations
that may receive funds from charitable gambling proceeds and is based on language in
Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.12, Subd. 25. This allowed the Council to provide funds
to local food shelves serving Crystal residents and Community Mediatian Services. In
2009, 201 Q, and 2011, the Council approved funding of $1,000, and in 2012, $1,1 Q0, to
Community Mediation Servic�s (CMS).
Recently I received the attached invoice (dated April 2Q13) from CMS requesting $2,000 in
2013. The 2013 caseload included 27 cases involving 46 residents of Crystal. In addition
to mediation services, CMS provides training to Crystal apartment managers and property
owners through Crime Free Housing. CMS also serves as a resource to the Robbinsdale
School District and Hennepin County's Juvenile Advisory Council.
Other cities supporting Community Mediation Services include:
Brookiyn Center
Brooklyn Park
Corcoran
Golden Valley
Hopkins
Maple Grove
Minnetonka
Maund
New Hape
Plymouth
Robbinsdale
St. �ouis Park
Community Mediation Services, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) organization and as such, is qualified
to receive charitable gambling proceeds so the Council could use some of its lawful
gambling 10% fund in City Initiative Fund for this request. There are funds in the City
Initiatives Fund for this request (see attached fund balance as of December 31).
The Cauncil should discuss whether ta continue to fund Community Mediation Services
and if so, in what amount, from the City Initiatives Fund.
