Council Member Rowan moved and Council Member Johnson seconded a motion to approve the Consent Agenda.

The motion carried unanimously. VII. NEW BUSINESS 1. Overpass Skate Park Operational Agr~ement (CR2004-072) The City Council has directed staff to find a means of operating the Overpass Skate Park that would have minimal or no cost to the General Fund. After a discussion with the Council, an announcement was placed on the web site. Two . agencies asked to be considered for managing the park. The first was a for profit company. They requested a commitment from the City for $7500 to install. new equipment. They planned a membership program that would be more costly to resident skaters that the current program. Community Sports and Recreation has asked for an opportunity to make a proposal to operate the park for the City. C8.R is a non-profit organization that works with all youth. Operating the park would give CSR a focal point to further their.. . mission. Leadership development programs are accomplished through youth sports; teen leadership; and programs in traditional, alternative, and extreme sports and recreational programming. CSR would assume all expenses for operating the park. They would also retain all revenues. The park will be open at a lower cost to the users as in the past. Hours will remain the same as in previous years. Wayne Cummings, founder of CSR, and their Administrative Director, Suzette Neal appeared to answer questions. The .contract will go into effect as soon as the City receives the insurance rider showing that the organization has coverage on the park. Council Member Brausen moved and Council Member Thompson seconded a motion to approve the Operators Agreement between Community Sports and Recreation and the City of Hopkins for the operation of the Hopkins Overpass Skate Park for the 2004 season. A poll of the vote was as follows: Council Member Brausen, aye; Council Member Thompson, aye; Council Member Rowan, aye; Council Member Johnson, aye; Mayor Maxwell, aye. 2.

On June 15th, the City Council will consider approval for design plans on theCSAH 73/5 intersection and the Minnetonka Blvd improvements. May 18, 2004 City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3 -. t The existing water main has been troublesome and has required several repairs. .

MINUTES CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - May 25, 2004 A work session of the Hopkins City Council was called to order by Mayor Gene Maxwell at 6:30 p.m. on May 25, 2004, at the City Hall. Council members Brausen, Johnson, Rowan and Thompson Were present. City personnel present were: City Manager Steve Mielke, Assistant City Manager Jim Genellie, Fire Chief Don Beckering, Economic Development Director Jim Kerrigan, Police Chief Craig Reid, Public Works Director Steve Stadler and Finance Director Lori Yager. 2004-5 Goals and Objectives Mr. Mielke said staff had worked to putthe goals into action steps. Consensus was for everyone to rank the goals and actions A, B or C, with A having highest priority. He stressed other goals and actions may be added later. Answering Mr. Brausen, he said the difference between goals 2 and 5 was that of growth in terms of individuals and group as contrasted to relationships. Both might go together in implementation. Goal 1: Improve Communications and Marketin~ Efforts to Residents, Developers and Businesses. Newsletter Ms. Yager noted the newsletter has been going out with utility bills since January; Mr. Genellie added staff feels it is working although there has not been a lot of feedback. Ms. Elveru:m has gotten so:me apartment owners to distribute it to their tenants. Some have asked if it could be put in the Highlights, but that would be tricky. Resident survey Mr. Mielke said . mailings don't get a reliable return. Chief Reid noted he sends a survey to. each person the force deals with and gets only 1/2 of 1 % back. Mr. Genellie said a phone survey would cost $15-25,000; a Web site survey would let one person respond :multiple times. Mr. Kerrigan felt the questions should be decided before the method; Mayor Maxwell agreed. Ms. Johnson suggested having a group such as the Jaycees do it for $1,000. Mr. Mielke noted that firms train telephone surveyors so they do not influence answers. Marketing Ms. Johnson said keeping the Web site updated is important; Mr. Rowan agreed. Mayor Maxwell asked about HBCA; Mr. Mielke. said his understanding is they want participation but not direction from the city. Mr. Kerrigan noted they don't have :money for a marketing program; Mayor Maxwell said after developing such a program, they could approach the city for help. Ms. Johnson said she felt publicizing HCA was more important than reestablishing the marketing committee. Mr. Mielke asked everyone to rank the four subcategories as well as the general goal. Educating about development benefits Mr. Mielke noted the decertification of TIF-l is a good exa:mple of this need. Mr. Tho:mpson asked about pamphlets as a means; some felt this would not be effective. Mr. Kerrigan suggested using the State ofthe City asa means. Ms. Yager and Mayor Maxwell brought up the Sailor. All America Festival Ms. Johnson said that is a certainty. A contact in the city needs to be put in place. Celebrate Accomplishments Ms. Yager said this was really a step for Educating. Mr. Brausen said celebrating accomplishments needs to become part of the city's culture, and cited promoting new police officers as not getting the attention it should have. Mr. Mielke agreed that even when there was a communication coordinator this was not effectively done. Chief Reid noted when the police department has the paper do anything; they supply both the photos and the copy. Ms. Yager suggested checking with area schools about interns. Mayor Maxwell said each department should . designate someone to "be in charge of the camera." Mr. Genellie said he would put this on the department head agenda regularly. Citizen Academy Mr. Mielke said this could be set up like last time or else with one department highlighted for a year or other length of time. Some department heads had felt they could not do a good job last time because of lack of time. Cost had been -- " May 25,2004 '>-~ .'4 Page 2 $10,000. Ms. Johnson asked about taping for cable; Mr. Mielke said "talking heads" do not show . well and he does not know how "field stuff' could be done. Mayor Maxwell said perhaps some departments need a whole night. Chief Reid said in Ames hehad small groups (15 or so) who came multiple weeks; he feels he has 8 nights' worth of material. He sees the teaching as leadership training for his force. Mr. Brausen said he felt one should be able to go to any department and ask for a presentation. Mr. Mielke suggested doing "introduction evenings" with participants able to sign up for further sessions with particular departments. Chief Reid said perhaps one year could have the multiple department format, the next the police department, then multiple, then .fire department, etc. Chief Beckering said that would be a good way for the fire department to get volunteers, and live demos could be done for small groups. Mr. Brausen said he felt there was room for both generalist and specialist groups. Mr. Kerrigan noted Bobbie had spent a lot of time coordinating the Academy and she is no longer here. Ms. Johnson noted this ties in with the Employees Academy in Goal V, and could replicate the Citizens Academy during the daytime. She and Mr. Rowan noted Citizens Academy also interests people inbeing on Boards and Commissions. Mayor Maxwell.asked that staff check with Minnetonka, etc. as to how they are doing theirs. General Consensus: The newsletter is doing itsjob.and should continue as is. Any decision on the survey should wait until questions are decided upon. All America Festival is a way to get good publicity and the city will help with past videos, etc. Celebrating accomplishments needs emphasis. Names of Board and Commission members should go on the Web site. The Academy is valuable. Goal 2. More Gatherings of Council and Staff. No discussion as all agreed. . Goal 3. Improve the Budget Process Pre-budget meetings Mr. Mielke noted. pre-budget presentations are in process. Police will be discussed June 8. The 4 pre-budgets should be finished in July. Mr. Thompson said he felt information should go to the public during the process. General discussion followed. Mr. Brausen feared the public would misunderstand or information would be misconstrued; Mr. Genellie agreed that is possible, but it would elicit public feedback. 2- year budget Mr. Rowan thinks thi$ needs no deadline. Provide better understanding of the numbers Mr. Mielke said this includes public as well as council. Mr. Brausen added board and commission members need this. Mr. Rowan said an understanding between the kinds of funds is really important. Explore new funding sources Mr. Rowan asked if a department finds funds, does that change their budget. Ms. Yager said it depends on the type of funds; grants might, fees would not. Mr. Genellie added if most of their budget comes from the general fund, it would insulate them more from budget cuts. Mr. Mielke said if it werefor an old program, it would not; if it were a grant for a new program it would increase their budget money. General Consensus was to add III E "publish results of pre-budget discussions" Goal 4. Improve Quality of Life Develop senior housing Mr. Mielke noted Mayor Maxwell had suggested using a task force. Target blight Mr. Mielke said "blight" could have a legal definition and a community test meaning. Mayor Maxwell noted getting rid of blight could lead to development of senior housing. Partner with faith community Mr. Rowan asked if this would bring up church/state concerns. Mr. Mielke said this would depend on action steps, but should not be a problem with issues like housing for the homeless, etc. Review liquor store operations Mr. Mielke noted this is in progress. Improve bicycle and pedestrian safety Mr. Stadler said he wanted to add a new action: "Touch base with school district at least once a year, like before start of .' school term, to find problem areas." Reduce traffic congestion, cuHhrough traffic 1\1r. Thompson said that the public needs to see studies that show their fears are not realized, the city needs to better communicate good results. Mr. Stadler said follow-up articles in the newsletter could be one " ",,; May 25, 2004 ! Page 3 . method. Mayor Maxwell suggested having the information at hand for complaints would help, and gave fire response time after the new building as an example. Ms. Johnson felt an overview of projects after a year would be a good thing for both the Council and Z&P; Mr. Genellie added this would be helpful even if it did not get in the paper. Mr. Mielke suggested that putting a review a few months after completion of a project into the road policy might be good. Mr. Brausen said he got good feedback that the last resolution had a review after a year clause; people felt their concerns had been heard. General Consensus was to add IV G"Review and evaluate city projects." Goal V. Growth of Employees, Supervisors and Council. Leadership Development Chief Beckering said he patterned the action steps after the State of Minnesota. Employee Academy means several departments go to a training program together. Review of Supervisory Employees Ms. Johnson asked how trust and accountability could be put in there. Mr. Brausen said this goes with Council/staff communication, Goal II. He feels trust and accountability a.re the main reason this project started. Both "took a beating" this past year and he hears a lot of employee gripes. He tries to get them to go back to the supervisors, but after 4 years he hears the same complaints. A way needs to be found for the employee to feel comfortable going to the supervisor. Mr. Mielke said there are multiple outlets for employees. Maybe a follow-up system is needed. Perhaps an education prograni for the employees would help.. Ms. Yager agreed some problems arise because the employee feels the supervisor will not help, but sometimes it is they feel the supervisor cannot help. Mr. Mielke said peer mediation might be a tool. General Consensus was to add V E "Provide employees with information and resources to . resolve issues." Goal VI. Citizen Growth. Ms. Johnson said the communication with minorities might need to be different. Mr. Thompson suggested churches. General Consensus was to add "Locate and use appropriate venues to contact minorities" as an action step. Goal VII. Meet with Groups. Mr. Mielke clarified this meant group meetings. Mr. Mielke will compile the rankings and report back. He added results might impact budget decisions. Mr. Genellie said he had enjoyed this process and feels some problems have been resolved by it. Other Resolution Mr. Mielke said the county has passed this resolution. Ms. Hesch is asking Hopkins Council to also do so as they are trying to get a grant. Mr. Thompson moved to adopt the Resolution for Support ofMN Out-of-School Time Partnership. Mr. Rowan seconded. Passed 5- O. Fire Inspection System Mr. Mielke handed out copies of the proposed notification. City Manager Resignation Mr. Mielke said finding a new city manager is a high priority. Council needs to appoint an Acting City Manager. While Mr. Genellie does not want the City Manager position, he is willing '. to work as an interim City Manager until a new one is hired. An appointment needs to be made by mid-June. If Mr. Genellie is chosen, he should be given extra compensation. Answering Mayor Maxwell, he said that could be done per month or per pay scale or by negotiation. General Consensus was to have a closed-door meeting to discuss personnel options after the June 1 Council " May 25, 2004 t Page 4 meeting. ,., Mr. Mielke asked what tasks Council considers priority for him to work on in his remaining time. Mr. Brausen said personnel, as a new manager won't know the past history. Mr. Mielke said the Council could conduct a closed-door exit interview with him. Ms. Johnson said implementing Goal V E "Provide employees with information and resources to resolve issues." Ms. Johnson asked what he felt was important. Mr. Mielke listed Knox/Cornerstone; Hopkins House, noting he has tried to steer them toward senior housing; replacement process for City Manager; HCA agreement; Stages. Mr. Mielke noted it is required to post his position 5 days internally. He handed out literature on the hiring process. He strongly suggested the Council use a consulting firm as there are open meeting law issues if they do it alone. Ms. Johnson had several items. Hopkins Honda needs to be reminded they said they would do something about the sports building. She asked about progress on "slow down signs" -Mayor Maxwell got a price of $400 for 1 00. Parking violation citations are not being done fairly - employees in timed lots are being ticketed if they are late, but recently cars left all night in "no night parking" areas were not ticketed yet at 6 a~m. Is August 12 a good date for Volunteer Recognition? General Consensus was yes. She will not be at the June 22 work session. Mr. Thompson asked about North Annex marketing information. Mr. Mielke said Mr. Kerrigan is working on that. Mr. Thompson is interested in redeveloping a certain property and asked what issues might be raised. Mr. Mielke suggested he talk to Attorney Steiner. Mr. Brausen said there could be a "smell test" issue - a past city officer .had done nothing illegal in a similar . situation but had problems with bad press. Mayor Maxwell reminded everyone about the park bench dedication. Mr. Thompson moved adjournment. Ms. Johnson seconded. On a 5-0 vote, the meeting adjourned at 9:20p.m. Kasey Kester, Secretary COUNCIL MEMBERS: ATTEST: Eugene J. Maxwell, Mayor .' CITY OF May 26, 2004 - Planning Report 04-77 HOPKINS PUD OVERLAY REZONING - HOPKINS HONDA Proposed Actio.!!,. Staff recommends the ,following motion: Move to adopt Resolution 04-38, recommending approval of OrdinanCe. 04-923. placing an overlay zoning of PUD on the area occupied by Hopkins Honda between Sixth and Eighth Avenues. on the north side of Mainstreet for first reading. At the Zoning and Planning meeting, Ms. Aristy moved and Mr. Sholtz seconded a motion to adopt Resolution RZ04-14, recommending approval of Ordinance04~923, placing an overlay zoning of PUD on the area occupied by Hopkins Honda between Sixth and Eighth Avenues on the north side of Main street. The motion was approved unanimously. Overview. Hopkins Honda has purchased the former Knox site with the plans to relocate the Honda facility to this site. This relocation will remove the entire Honda line from downtown Hopkins. The site on Fifth and Maihstreet will become a smaller franchise. The area occupied by Honda on Sixth and Seventh Avenues will be available for redevelopment. This is the first step in the redevelopment of this area. At this time, The Cornerstone Group is proposing to redevelop the Hopkins Honda area on the north side of Main street. The area is an odd shape that presents challenges in the redevelopment of the sites. The triangular area on the north side of Mainstreet between Sixth and Seventh Avenues would be a row of five townhomes. The area where the old Honda showroom was located and the area to the north will be. a retail/condo building. The last area used by Honda / along Eighth A venue would be another row of three townhomes. Primary Issues to Consider. . What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site? . Why place an overlay zone ofPUD on this property? . What are the areas that would be included in the overlay zone? . What is the schedule for the development? . What are the items that will have to occur for any development to proceed on these sites in the future? . What was the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting? Supporting Documents. .

What is the zoning of the property, and how has the Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site? The zoning of the property is B-3, General Business. In order for this development to occur the property will have to be rezoned to PUD; this would allow flexibility in the uses and site development. The Comprehensive Plan has designated this site as Commercial. The base zoning and Comprehensive Plan designation will remain. . Why place an overlay zone of PUD on this property? The property is zoned B-3, General Business. The overlay district will allow flexibility for future development of the site. The overly district will allow the base zoning to remain while providing the flexibility to allow a mixed-use development. . What are the areas that would be included in the overlay zone? There are three areas of redevelopment with this proposal. The first area is the small triangular area on the north side of Mainstreet between Sixth and Seventh A venues. This is a difficult area to redevelop into a retail area because of the shape of the lot. Because of the shape, Cornerstone is proposing a row of five townhomes. / The second area is the area along Mainstreet from Seventh A venue west to mid-block and the area. to the north. This area provides the largest area for redevelopment. This area will have a retail area on the first floor along Mainstreet and condo above the retail and to the north. Cornerstone is proposing to constmct 26 one and two-bedroom lofts. There are also three townhomes proposed for the north end of this site. Although it is hard to visualize without an elevation, the condo/retail building will be over the parking area that is immediately north of the building on Mainstreet. The third area is the small triangular area along Eighth A venue. This area is proposed to have three townhomes. . What is the schedule for the development? This development is tied to the redevelopment of the former Knox .site. Hopkins Honda is proposing to start constmction this summer for the new facility. An estimated time for the start of constmction is summer of 2005. . What are the items that will have to occur for any development to proceed on these sites in the future? The following are the items that will have to occur for this development to proceed: . Hopkins Honda relocating to the new site . Conditional Use Permit approval for constmction (this includes drainage, CR04- 77 Page 3 grading, etc.) I . Replatting of the site . Vacation of the alleys . Whatwas the discussion at the Zoning and Planning meeting? Ms. Anderson reviewed the areas and the reason for the overlay zoning. Eric Johnson, a property owner to the north of the Luther property, appeared before the Commission. Mr. Johnson asked if the HCRRA property would be part of a future development. Mr. Johnson was told that the proposed redevelopment did not include HCRRA property. Alternatives. 1. Approve the overlay zoning of PUD. By approving the overlay zoning, the site will have a zoning consistent with the proposed redevelopment. 2. Deny the overlay zoning of PUD. If the overlay zoning is not approved, the existing zoning will remain and any redevelopment of these sites will have to be consistent with the existing zoning. 3. Continue for further information. If the City Council indicates that further information is needed, the item should be continued. / . . .
