Accept Boards and Commissions Meeting Minutes -Removed
Nawrocki stated that the local VFWpost requested rental fees for Murzyn Hall be waived for
the annual Christmas party for their children. The Park and Recreation Commission has
chosen to charge a minimal fee. He indicated that the minutes refer to the VFW's contribution
of $1, O00. They failed to mention the VFW donation of $3,5OO for flags and banners and
$2,500 to the Fire Department for defibrillators. It was also incorrectly stated that the VFW
charges groups to use their facility, and they do not. Nawrocki stated that the VFW donates
about $57,000 a year to Columbia Heights groups. A second group made the same request,
that has never given a donation to this City, and they were given the same rate reduction. He
felt this was an interesting way to treat a local civic group.

exception of item number six. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried
Item//6: Accept Boards and Commissions Meeting Minutes
Motion by Wyckoff to waive the Murzyn Hall rental fee for the VFW Christmas party.
Ericson asked if there is a policy in place that the Park and Recreation Commission follows.
Fehst stated there is a policy, and the Commission's concern is to cover more of the operating
costs of the building. Fehst will have copies sent to each Councilmember. He stated that the
VFW is being requested to pay a nominal fee because their event would require a having an
employee open and remain in the building.
Nawrocki stated that the employee would be part time and be paid the same rate per hour no
matter when they work. Nawrocki stated that he appreciated the Mayor's motion, but would
not support it. He brought this up as a matter of principle.
Wyckoff indicated understanding that the other group would be charged a nominal fee, as was
the Sister City committee for their fundraiser. She listed many of the various contributions the
VFW makes to our community and felt they should not be charged a fee. Nawrocki indicated
that Murzyn Hall was built to be available for local groups.
Ericson was concerned that if the fee were waived for one group, the Commission would have
to decide which groups would be exempt. Kelzenberg stated that the Commission is only trying
to recoup the fees for opening the building and the clean up. Ericson asked the amount of the
regular fee. Fehst indicated that weekend day rentals are $600. Ericson felt it would put the
Commissioners in a difficult position to decide between the donations we receive or to adhere
to alee schedule. Wyckoff indicated that the Commission should be able to decide on an
"exception to the rule ". Nawrocki stated that the fee structure should have a better distinction
between community use and private use.
Wyckoff asked for a second to the motion. Without a second, the motion was not considered.
Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to accept the June 25, 2003, minutes of the Park
and Recreation Commission and the July 1, 2003, minutes of the Columbia Heights Public
Library. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Report of the City Manager
Fehst listed the upcoming Neighborhood Park Picnics hosted by the Police Department:
Huset Park - July 15, 2003 at 5:30 p.m.
· Hilltop City Park- July 16, 2003 at 5:30 p.m.

Wyckoff asked for an update on the sewage backup problems discussed at the last Council
meeting. Fehst stated that residents have filled out claim forms, which are submitted to our
insurance carrier. His conversation with the insurance company indicated they would conduct an
investigation prior to payment of any claims. The city has used due diligence to correct the
problem. Fehst reminded everyone that the rainfall amount was over the chart for even 1 O0 year
storms. Staff continues to research manholes in the area for illegal connections to larger
businesses that could cause these backups.
Nawrocki stated that he came to City Hall on Wednesday and was disappointed to find that we had
not help residents with the clean up. The Public Works Director and the City Manager were both
unavailable. He received a letter from a resident, which stated they did not get any help and he
was disappointed. Nawrocki questioned the follow-up to find residents with check valves installed.
Fehst stated a letter has been sent to see if anyone has these and to obtain any comments.
Individuals were spoken to regarding filling out damage claims for our insurance company.
Fehst indicated that an individual in the area told him that many years ago, 17people took the
City to court because of storm sewer problems, and the Court found the City not remise in their
responsibilities. To research check valves that were installed, it must be understood that some
ownership has changed, and that some owners chose to put them in and others did not.
Nawrocki stated that in speaking to an agent, found insurance coverage is possible through a
homeowner's policy. Fehst stated that one person did have that protection. Nawrocki restated his
disappointment that we did not help with the clean up. Fehst stated that the Public Works Director
contacted the League Insurance Trust and we were advised not to help. Mr. Clochie was helped to
obtain a power washer and provided dumpsters. Fehst stated his appreciation of Council's
support to pursue finding the problem. Wyckoff stated that staff did move some furniture for needy
residents.
Williams stated the need to find where the storm water is coming into the sewer system, and the
need to satisfy these people. Fehst stated it is a costly program, and we will try all other obvious
solutions first. The City of Duluth has gone through this process. Nawrocki indicated that private
sump pumps and any water that flows to the floor drain goes to the septic system.
Wyckoff stated that the local Shop and Save grocery store wouM be closing in a couple of weeks,
and suggested that the Big Lots store, which is currently located at the Kmart proposed

redevelopment site, move to this location. Fehst has spoken to the mall owner, who has shown
interest, but stated there is currently another dollar store in his mall and that lease would need to
be reviewed for any related clauses. Wyckoff praised the Big Lot store.
Report of the City Attomey
Wyckoff questioned the Heights Theater sign reference to lawyers. Jim Hoeft, City Attorney,
indicated he was unaware of the reason.
CITIZENS FORUM
Roger Strom, 690 47 ~ Avenue, thanked Councilmembers for the park bench that was placed by the
Sullivan Park shelter, and requested three more benches be placed around the walking path. Fehst

stated that five of the six new benches were donated. Strom stated that the Sullivan trail is three-
quarters of a mile long. Strom requested that the street cracks on Monroe and 42 ~ Avenue be filled in
so they do not get worse. Fehst stated that staff would check on sealcoating the cracks.

referred an email fi'om Captain Gary Gorham, regarding his appreciation for vital police
assistance given during the fire at 4347 Tyler Place, which was necessary due to a dispatching

· Should adopt the attitude of doing more with less.
· The meeting with School District was very good and it is important to work together.
Acknowledged the need expressed by our citizens to have police in our middle school.
Disheartened to find young people have a negative view of police. We need to show them the
police are here to protect them and not to harm them.
· The Audit Report was viewed as clean and we again received the GFOA award of excellence.
Fehst stated that we have received this award for about the last ten years. Questioned the cost
to implement Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Fehst indicated there is
extensive staff time required. He complimented Roxane Smith, Assistant Finance Director, for
her excellent work in this area. Approximately $25,000 to $30,000 is required to do an audit
and ful. fill the requirements of the State. Fehst indicated that the State is looking into what
businesses cities should be involved in, such as sewer, water, liquor, and other enterprises.
· Challenged Larry Scott, Liquor Operations Manager, to continue increasing profits. Fehst
stated that profits are up, which is an accomplishment considering the additional competition
on Central Avenue this year. Mr. Scott is doing a super job. Wyckoff referred to the reduction
in all resident's taxes because of the liquor store's revenue. Fehst stated that number could be
established when the audit is finalized. A letter will be sent to Council answering any final
questions, and if not satisfactory an additional meeting would be scheduled for sometime in
August. Complimented Ms. Smith on the great job she does.
· Pray for the peace, prosperity and health of our city.
· Would like to begin planting trees in City parks and has forwarded the request to the Park and
Recreation Commission. Wyckoff stated it is best to plant trees in the fall. Black walnut trees
were suggested.
Wyckoff
· Invited residents to open house of the new GMHC home on July 21st. A blighted house was
removed and rebuilt, and will be owner occupied. Fehst will have the dated, time and address
put on the City's web page. He encouraged residents to call our Community Development
Department to ask about available fix up funds and assistance from the Greater Minnesota
Housing Corporation (GMHC) to purchase and upgrade homes. GMHC will provide help to
any resident that has questions on maintenance type concerns. GMHC's intention is to replace
10 to12 more homes. The open house is from 4:30p. m. to 6:00pm., with a 5:00p. m. ribbon
cutting ceremony.
Kelzenberg
· Will begin 500 card games this fall at Murzyn Hall, to help bring the community together.
· Impressed with the joint School Board meeting. We need to look at creating a community
center, possibly through a joint referendum. It should be on a general election ballot and
should include a type of water feature. We need to provide this type of facility for our
children and our community. Nawrocki asked if the card club would pay regular hall rental
rates. The group would pay whatever the Park and Recreation Commission required.

and if the City incurs costs beyond the $10,000, they will payfor those as well The ED,4 agrees

and to work with only this developer during the term of the agreement. In order to receive TIF

will provide their credentials to the City.
Nawrocki stated he is against anymore rental housing in Columbia Heights and wanted to know
what the comments were from last weeks Open House. Streetar stated the current plans are for
owner-occupied housing with price points from $150 to $350,000. The three main comments
from the Open House were: 1) it's about time; 2) concern by residents living behind Kmart of
blocking their view of the City; and 3) the back hill run off issues, which Nedegaard has already
discussed some kind of landscaping and tiering of the wall to prevent deterioration.
MOTION by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to Approve the Preliminary Agreement between
the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (EDA) and the New Heights
Development, LLC (the Developer), and furthermore, to authorize the President and Executive

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
40th & Universi~
Schumacher stated the Conoco Station is down and all the debris will be removed by the end of
the week. Staff received three competitive bids for the demolition. One was a little over $12,000,
one at $8,200 and the low bidder, Brown Contracting came in at $2,700. Brown is a local
company with a small operation that will take longer to remove the debris, but is very
reasonable. Paul Reinke of Haugtand talked to Culvers recently. They are very interested in the
site and will let Paul know in a week or so.
Murzyn asked if the City requires documentation as to where the debris is disposed of
Schumacher indicated the state regulates that as part of their state licensing.
Nawrocki asked how the negotiations are going to purchase the MGS building. Schumacher
stated the owners putting a bid in on a property on Central and will be ready to sell very soon to
sell the City their property.
Industrial Park Redevelopment
Schumacher stated staff has received approval of the funding for the contamination study of the
Industrial Park. The consultant will take the tests and file the reports to the state within a three-
month period of time. Staff went out for bids for the Phase II Environmental. Pro Source came
in with the low bid of $73, 700 and STS Consultants bid $80,000. Staff will be working with
Kevin Hansen and the Public [FOrks staff on right-of-ways, railroad spurs, vacation of lines, and
easement issues involved with the site redevelopment.
37th & Central
Schumacher stated Mohamed Samaha owns the old Bridgeman's Restaurant site at 3800 Central
Avenue and wants to develop the three city owned sites, along with his site. Roman Roos, a
developer has worked with Samaha for the past three months to help with the redevelopment
plans and has gotten nowhere. Roos is now ready to work with the City on the redevelopment of
the site. Staff will talk to Samaha about the possibility of selling his property to the City. The
redevelopment site is only a $4 million development and many developers aren't interested in
that small of a jfroject.

4833 University Avenue
Schumacher stated Collins Autobody has agreed to pay $65, O00 for the City owned single-family
home. Collins will remove the building this year and start construction by next summer.
Nawrocki stated at the last meeting staff was directed to negotiate the full $75, O00 for the
property. Schumacher stated he tried to receive the full price with no results. Williams
suggested staff check into what the cost would be if we burn or demolish the home and then sell
the property to Collins for the full amount. Streetar stated this could be done, but felt
Schumacher's time would be better spent on the Industrial Park Redevelopment rather than
trying to negotiate $1 O, 000 difference for a blighted, non-conforming building site that no one
else is even interested in. Fehst directed staff to try to negotiate the full $75, O00 from Collins,
with the City removing the tree and home.
NEI
Streetar stated staff has contacted United, Welsh, Cornerstone, and Schaffer Richardson to
provide either redevelopment or reuse ideas for the NEI building. The following is the
developers responses: 1) Cornerstone said tear the building down; 2) Welsh wasn't interested in
the site; 3) United suggested tearing it down; and 4) Schaffer Richardson suggested tearing the
building down or using it for senior housing.
Dental Office on University
Streetar stated the Dental office on University Avenue has submitted plans for a new dental
building to be built on his property, which was approved by P & Z and City Council. The owner
is talking about renting out the current house his dental office is in. The City Liquor store
manager has contacted staff in regards to purchasing the current dental office building and
constructing a new City Liquor Store in the site.
Streetar has talked to an individual from Ehlers & Associates that would be willing to work for
the City for a short period of time to help develop a plan for the Liquor Store project. She has
experience in the development of other liquor stores in the twin cities. Murzyn directed staff to
put the item on the agenda for review.
GMHC
Streetar stated GMHC applied for and received $240,000 in funding from the state to purchase
13 homes in Columbia Heights for redevelopment and ask boardmembers to let staff know of any
homes staff should look at first. Williams suggested 37~h and Buchanan where the property has
been vacant for years. Wyckoff suggested the Chies property on Tyler Street, across from First
Lutheran with the hole in the roof

A. REQUEST TO INSTALL STOP SIGNS AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF
TYLER STREET AT 42ND AVENUE AND AT 43R~ AVENUE
John and Donna Schmidt of 4260 Tyler Street requested stop signs be
installed at the intersections of Tyler Street at 42nd Avenue and 43rd
Avenue. Their concern is the number of accidents in the area.
There were two reported accidents at 42nd Avenue and one reported
accident at 43rd Avenue over the past three years. ~he visibility at these
intersections is good and does not meet the warrants for stop signs in the
MMUTCD. Traffic volume and speed survey results were given for both
42nd Avenue and 43rd Avenue on different days and times. The average;
nd
speed on Tyler Street at 42 Avenue was between 18 and 20 mph. On
43rd Avenue and Tyler Street the average speed was between 19 and 20

V. NEW BUSINESS
A. REQUEST TO DESIGNATE THE FRONTAGE ROAD NORTH OF
50TM AVENUE AND EAST OF CENTRAL AVENUE AS TWO-WAY
White Castle submitted a letter requesting the frontage road north of 50th
Avenue and east of Central Avenue be designated as a two-way street.
Their concem is the right in/right out change at 51 st Court has created a
hardship and a negative impact on their business. The frontage road is
currently one-way going north.
The Engineering Department staff opposes a two-way frontage road. The
frontage road is located close to Central Avenue. Southbound traffic will
create turning movement conflicts with the traffic on 50th Avenue.
White Castle representative, Chris Howard, indicated that she had spoken
with the manager of Denny's Restaurant and the manager of LaCasita
Restaurant and they are in agreement with the request.
Commission members all agreed that it was not a good idea to make the
one-way street going north into a two-way street in front of Jellies and
Beans Donut Shop. Traffic congestion in the area was a major concern;
however, they all agreed that something should be done to help these
businesses. One option would be to close offthe one-way frontage road
north of 50th Avenue and create a road behind Jellies and Beans Donut
Shop. This would mean that a road would go through part of the east
parking lot behind Denny's Restaurant and the south end of the parking lot
of the professional building. Costs to construct a road were mentioned;
and Commission members indicated businesses in that area would have to
share in the cost of such a road.
Motion by Goodman, second by Anderson to deny the request to designate
the frontage road north of 50th Avenue and east of Central Avenue as two-
way. Motion carried unanimously.

waming sign be installed.
Motion by Goodman, second by Stumpf, to install a "Deaf Child" waming
sign for 1629 41st Avenue. Motion carded unanimously.
C. REQUEST TO REVIEW SIX-HOUR PARKING ORDINANCE
The City Council requested the Traffic Commission review the six-hour
parking restriction. Police Chief Johnson indicated they had surveyed
other communities and found many of the communities have the same
ordinance. The ordinance was originally used to keep commuters from the
northem suburbs from driving to Columbia Heights and parking their cars
on our city streets to ride the bus downtown for work. He stated that
enforcement is on a complaint basis.
Chief Johnson stated that the six-hour parking ordinance works well and
makes sense. He stated that it helps keep unknown vehicles from being
parked for long periods of time in front of residences and removing
vehicles that are preventing road maintenance.
Commission members agreed that the rationale for the six-hour parking
ordinance was sound.

ordinance, Motion carried unanimously.

MOTION PASSED.
B. New Channel Guide and Pricing Sheet
Enclosed in the agenda packets was the new channel guide and pricing sheets that became
effective July 1, 2003, for both the analog service and the digital service line up.
C. Franchise Fees
A letter was received July 1, 2003 regarding the review of the itemizing of franchise fees
which is done to avoid over or under collecting fees fi.om cable service customers. The
franchise fees were adjusted effective July 1, 2003, fi.om 5.49% to 6.05% to reflect payment
amounts per government regulations.
Commission members questioned the percentage amount as they thought the previous fee had
been set at 5%. Steve Guzzetta explained to the members that the City did receive 5% of the
gross revenues and that Comcast can now also pass through revenues received fi.om
Advertising and the Home Shopping Channel. The wording on the notice to subscribers
caused some concern, therefore, there was a meeting with representatives of the cable company
and Steve Guzzetta to establish acceptable wording to reduce the amount of confusion
regarding the amount of franchise fees collected. It was also decided to discontinue using a
specific % amount and that fees will be reviewed annually. The revised wording will be placed
on bills starting with the next billing cycle.
D. Annual Privacy Notice
A copy of the bill insert of the Annual Privacy Notice was enclosed in the agenda packets.
These were sent out beginning with the July 5 billing cycle.

Ken Henke who could not be present at the meeting, sent his comments to Jean regarding this
request. Ken was not in favor of granting the request for funds as he feels it is a commercial
company looking for funds to do a project possibly resulting in a profit for them, which is not
allowed under the current guidelines. He also raised the following issues:
1. Not a Columbia Heights Resident
2. Grants are not meant for wages, they are meant for supplies.
3. The proposal does not specify what the money would be used for, and that is a requirement
in the grant guidelines.
4. The mount we can give out as a grant is limited, and that amount is only a small portion of
the dollar figure requested. What are the other sources of funding?
Ao
Bo
A discussion took place regarding the request. Dan Swee also felt it looked more like a bid
and that the request included the billing for his time. Steve Guzzetta advised the commission
that according to the guidelines, incomplete applications are not to be considered, and this is
not a complete application. Also each organization requesting fimds cannot be awarded more
than $10,000. If it met all the criteria necessary and was approved by the commission, the
request would then be forwarded to the City Council for their approval. Jean stated that she
had given Mr. Olson a copy of the grant guidelines when he submitted the application enclosed
in the agenda packets. Mr. Olson felt he had submitted everything he needed at that time to
qualify it as a proper application.
Bruce Nawrocki commented that he felt the project may be of interest to the Columbia Heights
Historical Society and they may want to have some input in a project of this sort. He would
like to see what they think of the project.
Motion by Dan Swee, seconded by Dave Mahoney to reject the request as it is not a proper
application. Staff was directed to send Mr. Olson notification of the decision and to enclose
another copy of the guidelines/criteria that must be met. All ayes. MOTION CARRIED.
Election of Officers
Dennis Stroik stated he was no longer interested in serving as the Chairperson of the
Commission. However, the other commission members felt he does a good job and with the
renewal of the fi:anchise coming soon, they felt he would be the best person to continue serving
in this position.
Motion by Dan Swee, seconded by Dave Mahoney to nominate Dennis Stroik for Chairperson.
Ali Ayes.
Motion by Dave Mahoney, seconded by Dan Swee to close nominations. Swee, Ruen, and
Mahoney-aye. Stroik-abstain. Motion Passed.
Annual Holiday Dinner
It was the consensus of the Commission to go on record that due to the budget constraints of
the City, that the Annual Holiday Dinner for members and their spouses, be discontinued.
They would enjoy something low key such as ordering pizzas or subs for their December or
'January meeting, but thought they should be fiscally responsible and set precedence for other
commission groups.
