Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, stated that he is working with the Columbia Heights Lion's Club to have the sign purchased directly by the Lion's Club to save tax on the purchase due to the fact that the Lion's are tax exempt. PAGE FOUR Commission Member, David Payne, noted that there are a lot of communities that have baseball teams with sponsors and inquired if it would be a possibility of getting sponsors for the Columbia Heights baseball teams. Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, informed David Payne that local businesses are consistently approached for donations.

REQUEST TO RESTRICT PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE OF JACKSON STREEt' FROM THE ALLEY TO 40TM AVENUE At the March meeting, the Traffic Commission called for a Public Hearing to install "No Parking Anytime" signs on the east side of Jackson Street from the alley to 40th Avenue. The concern is the difficulty vehicles have to use the alley when cars are parked on both sides of Jackson Street. One adverse affect of restricting parking on Jackson Street is that the vehicles will simply move. further south on Jackson Street. The City owns the vacant lot at the comer of 40th Avenue and Jackson Street. Paving that lot and using it for public parking has been discussed by the City Council. Mr. Robert Miller, of R.J. Miller at 834 40th Avenue stated that the large pick-up truck owned by one of his employees will no longer park next to the alley. This will help the visibility when exiting the alley. Mr. Miller suggested Jackson Street be restricted from the alley to 30' north of the alley. Parking is valuable and this will still allow 3 vehicles to park along the north end of Jackson Street. Ms. Becky Loader, Library Director at 820 40th Avenue spoke in favor of the parking restriction from the alley to 40th Avenue. The narrowness of the street causes traffic congestion both for vehicles exiting the alleys and on Jackson Street. No parking will also improve safety for pedestrian traffic. One resident felt the one-way alley entrance off of 40th Avenue caused problems by forcing the traffic onto Jackson Street, instead of being able to exit onto 40th Avenue. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission April 7, 2003 Page 2 Commissioner Goodman supported no parking from the alley to 40th Avenue. felt this was advisable for fire track access. He Commissioners Stump[ Sturdevant, and Anderson supported restricting the parking from the alley to 30' north of the alley in order to retain parking. Commissioner Carlson stated the City is planning to pave the lot at the comer. This will provide an altemative for on-street parking. Motion by Sturdevant to restrict the parking on the east side of Jackson Street from the alley to 30' north of the alley. Motion died for lack of a second. Chief Johnson commented that vehicles exiting the alley would also have difficulty seeing northbound traffic on Jackson Street. Chief Johnson suggested restricting parking for 15' on each side of the alley. Motion by Anderson to restrict parking on the east side of Jackson Street for 15' on each side of the alley. Motion died for lack of a second. Motion by Goodman, second by Carlson to restrict parking on the east side of Jackson Street from the alley to 40th Avenue. Roll call: Stumpf- no, Goodman - aye, Sturdevant - no, Anderson - no, Carlson - Aye. Motion failed. Chief Johnson suggested each option be marked at the site with cones and tape and photographed for the Commissioners review at the next meeting. Motion by ca~rlson, second by Goodman to table the issue to the next meeting. Motion carried unanimously. B. REQUEST TO INSTALL "YIELD" SIGNS AT THE INTERSECTION OF POLK STREET AND 42~qD AVENUE At the March meeting, the Commission tabled the request to install yield signs in order to obtain information concerning traffic speed and volume. The vehicle volume ranged from 17 to 43 vehicles per hour averaged over a 7 hour period (8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m). The 85 percentile speed ranged from 21 to 29 mph, with a maximum speed of 42 mph. Motion by Sturdevant, second by Stumpf to deny the request to install yield signs at the intersection of Polk Street and 42nd Avenue. Motion carded unanimously. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission April 7, 2003 Page 3 W. OTHER OLD BUSINESS None V. NEW BusINEss REQUEST FOR "NO PARKING" ON 40TM AVENUE ON EACH SIDE OF THE ALLEY BETWEEN WASHINGTON STREET AND 7TM STREET Mayor Wyckoffreceived a call from Linda Cichomski of 4032 Washington Street concerning the alley at 40th Avenue between Washington Street and 7th Street. As residents enter onto 40th Avenue from the alley, cars parked along 40th Avenue make it difficult to see vehicles traveling on 40th Avenue. Ms. Cichomski was in a serious accident last year and another almost happened the other day. The curb is painted yellow for a few feet on each side of the alley. Visibility is a problem at many alleys, especially along 40th Avenue. There is a high volume of street parking because of businesses along 40th Avenue and in addition at this location, City Hall. Chief Johnson reported that the accident occurred in August of 2001. A westbound vehicle on 40th Avenue broad-sided Ms. Cichomski's vehicle when exiting the alley. The best advice is to proceed with caution onto 40th Avenue or to exit the alley on 41st Avenue. Commissioner Carlson stated that parking on 40th Avenue is the only parking available to'the dentist. Commissioner Anderson stated that those living on the alley know to be careful when entering' 40th Avenue. Motion by Anderson, second by Sturdevant to deny the request to restrict parking on 40th Avenue. Motion passed unanimously. B. REQUEST TO ADDRESS SPEED OF TRAFFIC AND PARKING ON GOULD AVENUE Mr. Kevin Hlivka of 961 Gould Avenue has requested the Traffic Commission review traffic speed and parking issues on Gould Avenue. Mr. Hlivka felt the volume of traffic on Gould Avenue was more than normal due to nearby businesses and that this traffic travels at speeds above the speed limit. Traffic leaving the ramp goes to Reservoir Blvd, not to Central Avenue. He would like to see stop signs or speed bumps installed. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission April 7, 2003 Page 4 Mr. Hlivka was also concerned about parking on Gould Avenue, primarily by patrons of Heights Theater. When the theater was remodeled, the graphic about parking available in the ramp was removed from the side of the building Mr. Hlivka was wondering what can be done to encourage them to park in the ramp. Councilmember Kelzenberg will discuss promoting the ramp parking with the theater owners. The Commissioners discussed speed bumps and stated their use was not an option. Chief Johnson presented the following information concerning speed and volume of vehicles. Date & Total Vehicles Speed, MPH Location Time Vehicles Per Hour Min. Max. Avg. 85 % Gould Oct. 22, 2002 484 48 11 46 22 26 Avenue 8:30am-6:30 pm Gould Nov. 13, 2002 423 47 11 46 21 26 Avenue 9:15 am-6:15 pm Gould April 2, 2003 317 34 12 34 22 27 Street 9:30am-6:45 pm To date, traffic has been recorded in the eastbound direction. Chief Johnson will set the trailer up and obtain information for traffic traveling westbound. Mr. Hlivka fe~iuested a stop sign at Peters Place. Young stated that a stop sign at this location would do little to slow the traffic on Gould Avenue. Gould is a long street and studies have shown that vehicles will travel faster mid-block to make up for "lost" time'. Commissioners also stated that a stop sign may provide pedestrians with a false sense of security. Mr. Hlix~ka questioned if the speed limit could be lowered. Commissioner Carlson stated that the speed limit was set at 30 mph by the state and that it was not controlled locally. Motion by Sturdevant, second by Goodman to direct the Chief to review the new information and send a letter to Mr Hlivka about possible changes and inform the Commissioners what was done at a future meeting. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission April 7, 2003 Page 5 CJ REQUEST TO INSTALL TWO "HANDICAP" PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF 3701 JACKSON STREET Tracie and Larry Pogue, Sr. at 3701 Jackson Street both have handicap permits. The permit numbers are 495040 and 432146, respectively. The Pogues were requesting tv(.9 handicap parking spaces in front of their property. Motion by Anderson, second by Sturdevant to approve one handicap parking space for 3701 Jackson-Street on Jackson Street. VI. OTHER NEW BUSINESS A. REQUEST FOR "NO PARKING" ON 40TM AVENUE ON EACH SIDE OF THE ALLEY BETWEEN WASHINGTON STREET AND 7TM STREET Ms. Cichomski (Item A) arrived at the meeting. She described the accident and provided photographs. Ms. Cichomski stated that it was difficult to see westbound traffic when exiting the alley onto 40th Avenue. The Commissioners suggested exiting the alley onto 41 st Avenue. Ms. Cichomski stated that with the position of the garages, sometimes it was not possible to go to 41 st Avenue. Chief Johnson stated that it's not just a problem with traffic visibility on 40th Avenue. A vehicle traveling south bound on Washington and then westbound on 40th could also broadside a car exiting the alley before the driver realized it was there. " Ms. Cichomski questioned if stop Signs could be installed, Young stated that 40th Avenue is an Anoka County road and that the County sets the traffic control. It is doubtful the County would stop traffic on Jefferson and 1 block later on Washington Street. Commissioners directed staff to review the visibility and the possibility of extending the yellow striping at the alley for discussion at the next meeting.

POLICE APPROVA~k/ j,~-~'/ ITEM: Agreement to place antennas on City water tower & BY: Thomas M. Johnson BY: ~~~/~ NO place control bldg. to support Public Safety radio DATE May 6, 2003 DATE: system BACKGROUND In March of 2003 the City was approached by the County of Anoka to see if our water tower would be available to support the antennas required by the new 800 Mghz public safety radio system. The antennas for the current radio system are at a site on Matterhorn Drive in the City of Fridley. The reason the County is looking to move them to our site is that the City of Fridley is making changes at the Matterhorn Drive site and cannot guarantee how long the antennas would be up before major upgrades or changes will take place at this site. Checking with Public Works Director Kevin Hansen, this does not appear to be the case with our water tower. It is also felt that our city would experience better radio reception for our police officers and fire fighters if the antennas were moved to the City of Columbia Heights water tower. Both police and fire have experienced what is referred to as dead spots throughout our city with the current radio system. Anoka County has put together a rental agreement (contact) for the use of the tower as a site for the antennas. Although they do not want to incur ongoing rental fees, they are willing to assist us with costs of upgrading security at this site, which is greatly needed. We have attached a list of what Public Works Director Kevin Hansen feels are the needs at this site and the estimated cost. We have also requested our City Attorney to review the contract and suggest any changes that should be made. The suggested changes are listed on the attached e-mail. Drawings of the site are attached. John Tonding will be at the work session representing the County on this proposal and is willing to answer any questions. ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION Staff is suggesting that the City enter into this contract with the Countyifthe County will consent to the changes noted in the contract by our City Attorney and if they agree to the attachment of security upgrades at the site, the County would cover the costs on. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Anoka County to place antennas on the City of Columbia Heights' water tower, a six-inch dish on the neck of the tower, and to place a 12 x 26 control building at the water tower location to support the new public safety radio system; all in accordance with the lease agreement between the City and the County TMJ:mld 03-065 Attachment COUNCIL ACTION: From: To: Date: Subject: Walt Fehst Kevin Hanson; Tom Johnson 4/15/03 4:33PM Re: Tower lease Agreement with Anoka county With re: para 5 ......... why should we pay for this at all. We should require this study at their expense ......... we choose the consultant. >>> Tom Johnson 04/10/03 03:13PM >>> Walt and Kevin, I gave Jim Hoeft a copy of the lease agreement to review and get back to me with any suggested changes. He came up with the following: /1'~aragraph 5 Additional Uses: Non-Interference, Jim suggested that we change the line that states "City will cause an electrical interference analysis to be done to ensure County's Network will not be affected" Jim wants this changed to "City may cause an electrical interference analysis to be done to ensure County's Network will not be affected". Jim wants this change to keep the city from having to spend money needlessly. ~.Paragraph 6 Utilities I believe we want reference to propane gas struck. ~. Paragraph 15 talks about this lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. Jim felt we may want to add an addendum before signing with a list of what the County will do for us such as: screening on the north side, new fencing all the way around site, security (proximity readers?) on fence gate and doors to tower and other out buildings and anything else that Kevin would like to see added. ,4~'. Paragraph 1 B the size of the building needs to be changed to 12 x 26 feet. /~'m was also concerned about an RFP he saw in the League of Minnesota Cities Bulletin from our city that ~.stated we were looking for an inside and outside inspection of the tower. He was concerned that we )would do this and need new paint or major work which would require the county to remove everything right 3tufter they had put it all up. I told him I was unaware of this and that I would let Kevin respond to this. I i~f,F~i~, ~ think this is the reason they are not going with Fridley though. t~rJ, l( ~"evin could you respond to these issues to Jim, Walt and I as I.will be out of the office next week at a conference.

Anoka, MN 55303 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Public Works Department TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Walt Fehst, City Manager Tom Johnson, Police Chief Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director Overview of Proposed Security Improvements to City's Water Tower and Lift Stations April 28, 2003 The following is a cost overview of the proposed safety improvements to the City's Water Tower Facility location. The Public Works Department is proposing to upgrade the security access system, replace the fencing, and add security lighting at the Water Tower Site. Security Access System Improvements Cost estimates for an access control system at the water tower and pump stations (Tie into existing City system at City Hall): Total $8.9.__~22.10 Lighting Improvements Cost estimates for lighting improvements at the water tower and water pumping station: Furnish and install four (4) security fixtures controlled by photo cells at the water pumping station. $3,980 (including labor) Furnish and install three (3) security fixtures around the base of the water tower, controlled by a photocell. $3,680 (includin~ labor) Total $7:660.00 Fencing Improvements Cost estimates for new fencing at the water tower facility: Furnish and install six foot high black vinyl coated chain link fence with new access gate at main entry. Fencing: $17,600 (including labor) Access Gate: $ 4,200 (including labor) Total $21:800 Site Landscaping I would recommend adding site landscaping for screening the residential property to the north and for aesthetic improvements. The cost range for minimal type of landscaping would be in the $2,000 to 3,000 range. As an additional note, the City of Columbia Heights should have an agreement with the County to reimburse the City for actual expenses related to inspections. This would be for minimal City staff time related to site/civil work and for an independent consultant for welding and coatings inspection. The City had the same agreement when Sprint PCS performed work approximately two years ago.

Hansc~ DATE: 5/5/03 ~ The City of Columbia Heights Jamboree will be held June 25-29th this year. The carnival, operated by Family Fun shows, Inc. usually arrives a day or two for set-up, which requires the closing of Jefferson Street on Monday afternoon, June 23rd. Staff is requesting permission to close Jefferson Street from the alleyway on the north end of Huset Park to the railroad tracks north of 39th Avenue. Other arrangements are made with various City departments including the license application, payment of necessary license fees and permits and that the required damage deposits are submitted. The annual Jamobree Parade will be held on Friday, June 27, 2003, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The parade route has changed back to the normal route of many years, beginning on Central Avenue at 45th Avenue to 40th Avenue; west on 40th Avenue to 5th Street and 5th Street to Mill Street. Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the Police Department to issue a parade permit for the Jamboree Parade. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staff to close Jefferson Street for the time period from Monday afternoon, June 23rd, 2003 through Sunday, June 29th, 2003.

I .'jb COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: 5/12/03 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT AGENDA ITEM: RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING A CONTRACT FOR CITY PROJECT #0300: 2003 MISCELLANEOUS CONCRETE REPAIRS AND INSTALLATIONS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS CITY MANAGER Background: On January 27, 2003 City Council authorized staff to seek bids for the Miscellaneous Concrete Repair Program to replace/install concrete throughout the City. Plans and specifications were advertised for bids in the Focus on April 10, 2003 and Construction Bulletin on April 11 and April 18, 2003. Six contractors requested copies of the bidding documents. Four bids were received and publicly read aloud at the May 2, 2003 bid opening. A copy of the bid opening minutes is attached. Analysis/Conclusions: The bidding documents were written with a base bid and an alternate, with award based upon the combination the City selected that provided the lowest total bid. Quality Restoration submitted the apparent low bid for the base bid, but did not submit a bid for the alternate. Ron Kassa Construction, Inc. of Elko, Minnesota, submitted the total low bid, comprised of the base bid and the alternate, in the amount of $29,309.70. Public Works staff recommends accepting the alternate bid that replaces the concrete walkway to the public parking ramp from 40th, between the buildings at 4022 and 4024 Central Avenue, and is adjacent to Budget Computer. The design of the walkway matches that out on Central Avenue in scoring pattern and provides two 12-inch color bands. Surface drainage through this area would also be improved by integrating an inverse crown in the center, draining to the alley. This sidewalk will be funded with State Aid Maintenance funds. Specific items replaced or repaired under the Miscellaneous Concrete Program base bid include structures such as curb and gutter, sidewalk and street panels. The concrete replacement is budgeted for in the Public Works Department budgets, such as in the Water Fund, for repairs of damaged concrete caused by water main breaks or paid for with funds generated by projects such as special assessments for curb and gutter replacement in seal coat areas. The umt prices are consistent with the Engineer's Estimate and increased an average of 8% over the 2002 program unit prices. Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2003-22, there being ample copies available to the public. Recommended Motion: Move to approve and adopt Resolution No. 2003-22 accepting bids and awarding the 2003 Miscellaneous Concrete Repairs and Installations, Municipal Project #0300, to Ron Kassa Construction, Inc. of Elko, Minnesota, based upon their low, qualified, responsible total bid in the amount of $29,309.70 with funds to be appropriated from Fund 401- 50300-4000; and, furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a contract for the same.

Hansen~/ B JACKSON STREET FROM THE.ALLEY TO 30' NORTH DATE: 5/6/03 ~ OF ALLEY Background: At the March Traffic Commission meeting a resident from 3946 Jackson Street expressed concern over the difficulty vehicles have to use the alley when cars are parked on both sides ~f Jackson Street. A Public Hearing was held at the March meeting to install "No Parking Anytime" signs on the east side of Jackson Street from the alley to 40th Avenue. Analysis/Conclusions: Views expressed at the hearing ranged from support for the parking restriction to improve vehicle and pedestrian safety to support for less of a restriction in order to retain some on-street parking. The City owns the vacant lot at the corner of 40th Avenue and Jackson Street. It was suggested the City's empty lot on the SE comer of 40t~ Avenue and Jackson Street be paved and used for parking. Paving the lot and using it for public parking has been discussed by the City Council but no plans to do so have been put in place. Commission members agreed that it would be good to restrict parking on the east side of Jackson Street from the alley to 30' north of the alley. Recommended Motion: Move to designate the east side of Jackson Street from the alley to 30' north of the alley as "no parking", based upon a recommendation of the Traffic Commission.

The jurisdictions enforcing the code are required to adopt the new code as per MN State Statute 16B.62. In the past the city has adopted the code every time it is changed or updated, usually every three years. The proposed ordinance would be self-perpetuating in that it would always reflect the most current edition of the State Building Code and not require Council action every time the code is updated. As per State Law, the Building Code cannot be modified at the local level so the adoption process becomes simple. There are two optional provisions to consider: Section 1306, dealing with special fire protection systems (fire sprinklers) and Appendix K to give the city some control over grading and excavating projects. It is the recommendation of staff to also adopt these provisions at this time. Attached is Ordinance #1456, Adopting the Minnesota State Building Code. This ordinance provides for the application, administration and enforcement of the MN State Building Code by regulating the erection, construction, enlargement, alteration, repair, moving, removal, demolition, conversion, occupancy, equipment, use, height, area, and maintenance of all buildings and/or structures in this municipality; Provides for the issuance of permits and collection of fees thereof; provides penalties for violation thereof; repeals all ordinances and parts of ordinances that conflict therewith. This ordinance shall perpetually include the most current edition of the MN State Building Code with the exception of the optional appendix chapters. Optional appendix chapters shall not apply unless specifically adopted. It should be noted that permit fees adopted by Resolution and are not included as part of this code adoption. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance #1456, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to set the second reading of Ordinance #1456, being an Ordinance adopting the MN State Building Code, for May 27, 2003, at approximately 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
