Memorandum
DATE: April 17, 2018
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Water drainage in the area of 61st Ave and Douglas Drive
Summary
Going into the Phase 16 Street Reconstruction Project one of the known issues was the localized
flooding at the intersection of 61st Avenue and Douglas Drive N. Extra design and storm water
modeling when into exploring this issue and trying to identify all potential options to mitigate it. Since
the construction was completed in this area, some residents have been expressing concerns about
storm water management in the area.
At the work session City and SEH staff will present on what the prior conditions were, alternatives
explored, challenges faced, what was constructed, and long term options.
Council input requested
It has been discussed that hosting a neighborhood meeting is a potential future action. The
presentation provided at this work session will be comprehensive. After the presentation, staff would
like Council input on whether a neighborhood meeting is needed, what information should be
presented, or what other (if any) next steps should be.

DISORDERLY PROPERTY
ORDINANCE
City Council Worksession
April 17, 2018
CURRENT CODE
•Only licensed rental properties are currently subject to the
disorderly house provisions in Section 425.21
•The list of what constitutes a disorderly house includes a
wide range of code or statutory violations including those
related to:
•Garbage; noise; controlled substances; disorderly conduct; liquor
laws; firearms; assault; terroristic threats; criminal damage to
property; gambling; gang crimes; racketeering
•These types of local ordinances are an expansion of the
disorderly house prohibitions in M.S. 609.33 that are
limited to liquor, gambling, prostitution, and drugs
2
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
•The proposed disorderly property ordinance levels the playing
field by making the disorderly house provisions applicable to all
properties in the city and provides a mechanism for the city to
recover some costs for multiple police responses to the same
property through the administration citation process
•Moves the existing list of disorderly conduct from the rental
section to a new Section 630
•As is the case with most, if not all, matters the city regulates
regarding what occurs on property, the property owner is
deemed responsible (water bill, zoning violation, etc.). Similar
to how business owners are responsible for the actions of their
employees (underage sales )
3
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
•Owner responsibility relates to letting the property be
used in a certain way, but does not create criminal liability
for the owner for the actions of others
•The person on the property with drugs gets charged for the drug
offense, not the owner
•The amendment continues the existing three strikes
approach based on the occurrence of a verified incident
on the property
4
VERIFIED INCIDENT
•Only a “verified incident” counts as a strike:
(1) Must be an incident on the list of disorderly property violations
(2) Responded to by a police officer; and
(3) Who, after completing a timely investigation, finds evidence
supporting the existence of a disorderly property violation
•A verified incident does not depend on a criminal
conviction being obtained, but multiple incidences
discovered during a single response only constitute a
single verified incident
•An owner cannot receive two or three strikes as a result of a single
visit by police even if multiple violations are discovered
5
THREE STRIKES
•First Verified Incident
•Property owner receives notice of the incident and that another
incident can result in an administrative penalty
•If a rental property, the licensee is also sent the notice, which also
directs the licensee to take steps to ensure another violation does not
occur
•The information required to be sent to a licensee for a verified incident is the
same as in the existing code
•Second Verified Incident
•If a second incident occurs within 12 months of the first, another notice
is provided that constitutes an administrative citation under Section
306, which contains an opportunity to request a hearing before a
hearing officer
•A licensee is required to submit a written report of the actions taken, or
to be taken, to prevent further violations
6
THREE STRIKES
•Third Verified Incident
•If a third violation occur within 12 months of the second,another
notice is provided that constitutes another administrative citation
•After a third verified incident, the city may take action against the
rental license
•The City Council has discretion on what (if any) action is taken
regarding the license –this is the same as in the current code
•Additional Violations
•Additional violations occurring within 12 months of the prior
violation are subject to the same administrative citation and license
actions applicable to a third violation
7
PROPOSED CIVIL PENALTIES
•The owner is subject to a civil penalty under the
administrative citation process starting at the second
verified incident within 12 months
•The proposed penalties are as follows:
•$170 for the second incident within 12 months of the first;
•$220 for the next incident within 12 months of the second;
•$260 for the next incident within 12 months of the third; and
•$340 for the next and any subsequent incidents within 12 months of
the most recent incident
8
RECENT STRIKE LETTER HISTORY
•Number of strike letters sent in recent years (roughly one per
month on average):
•2015 –19 letters
•2016 –12 letters
•2017 –11 letters
•2018 –4 letters
•The letters appear to have the desired effect
•A tenant at 6001 56th was the source of repeated noise and disturbance
complaints from the other 15 units
•This resulted in numerous police responses –21 calls for service at that
property in January 2018
•3 of 2018’s 4 strike letters were issued for that property.
•The strike letters helped the property owner evict the disruptive tenant at
the end of January
•Since then, calls for service have declined 88% (only 2 in February and 3
in March)
9
RENTAL LICENSE ACTION PROCESS
•After a third verified incident, the city manager notifies licensee of a
hearing to be held by the City Council
•The City Council holds the hearing and then may take any of the
following actions against the license:
•Take no action
•Add conditions to the license as an alternative to suspension or revocation
•Suspend the license*
•Revoke the license*
•Deny or non-renew the license*
*If the licensee applies for a new license for an additional property, the City Council may also decline
to approve such new license for up to one year (two years if the licensee has had multiple licenses
suspended, revoked or denied for properties in Crystal)
•Exceptions: No license action can be taken during eviction
proceedings or within 30 days of an eviction notice, and city may
delay action if it determines the owner is working to prevent further
violations

_____________________________________________________________________ FROM: John Sutter, Community Development Director _____________________________________________________________________ DATE: April 12, 2018 TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for April 17 Council work session) SUBJECT: Quarterly Blue Line Extension (Bottineau LRT) Project Update and Master Funding Agreement PROJECT UPDATE BNSF has requested copies of the 90% plans for review Recently adopted federal budget includes increased funding for the FTA for “New Starts” projects like the BLX No official change to anticipated timeline, but BLX no longer expects to open for service by 2022 MASTER FUNDING AGREEMENT Metro Transit is required by FTA to enter into a Master Funding Agreement with each city along the line as well as the county and MnDOT. The Master Funding Agreement establishes the framework for the following types of cost participation: 1. Metro Transit pays for construction of a BLX facility that is part of another agency’s project Example: West Broadway reconstruction (Brooklyn Park/Henn Co) Not applicable in Crystal 2. Another agency pays Metro Transit for construction of their facility that is being built as part of the BLX project Only one such facility in Crystal: June Avenue water main south of 36 th See next page and attachments for details 3. Metro Transit pays for inspection services provided in-house by another agency Crystal will be reimbursed for city staff field inspection time but the amount is not expected to be significant
EDA STAFF REPORT Blue Line Extension Quarterly Update
PAGE 2 OF 2
The Master Funding Agreement was discussed in general terms at the January update. Since then: Staff and the city attorney reviewed the proposed agreement and coordinated their response with Robbinsdale The project office informed staff that a 6% design fee will be charged in addition to the 3% administration fee Each item will have a separate Subordinate Funding Agreement as the project gets further along. JUNE AVENUE WATERMAIN The project office estimates the total cost to the city to be $129,241: 103,104 Construction + 15,446 15% contingency =118,569 Construction Subtotal + 3,557 3% administrative fee + 7,114 6% design fee =129,241 Estimated Total Cost to City The plan sheet and detailed cost estimate are attached. This is the type of detail that would be included in a Subordinate Funding Agreement. Staff opinion is that this is a good deal for the city for the following reasons: Someday we will have to replace this water main and it’s in borderline condition It would be more expensive for us to replace it as a small, stand-alone project We would have to reconstruct June Avenue at our expense to get at the water main (Metro Transit is incorporating that cost into their project) The 3% administration fee and 6% design fee are relatively low (for example, we charge adjacent cities 20% to cover administration and design when we have a joint project on the border) All in all, it’s simply the right thing to do UPCOMING COUNCIL ACTION Staff intends to request approval of the Master Funding Agreement at the May 1 City Council meeting
