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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Economic Development Authority Meeting Minutes June 17, 2003 Page 3 of 3 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.

II. APPROVAL OF JUNE 2, 2003 MINUTES Motion by Goodman, second by Anderson, to approve the minutes of June 2, 2003. Motion carried unanimously. III. OLD BUSINESS 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 mph. Motion by Anderson, second by Goodman, to deny the request to install stop signs at the intersections of Tyler Street at 42nd Avenue and at 43ra Avenue. Motion carried unanimously. IV. OTHER OLD BUSINESS None. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission July 7, 2003 Page 2 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. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission July 7, 2003 Page 3 Bi REQUEST FOR A "DEAF CHILD" SIGN AT 1629 41sx AVENUE Mr. Curt Meyer, of 1629 41st Avenue, has requested a "Deaf Child" 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. VI. Motion by .Anderson, second by Goodman, to retain the six-hour parking ordinance, Motion carried unanimously. OTHER NEW BUSINESS None. VII. REPORTS A. CITY ENGINEER Staff has addressed all the visibility issues discussed at the last Traffic Commission meeting at 45th Avenue and 7th Street and at the mall's north exit to 41 st Avenue.

All ayes. OLD BUSINESS A. Channel Check Everything was ok. B. Correspondence Log and Follow Up on Complaints Don Wiegand-- 1606 W. Innsbruck Pkwy NE-He was unhappy with the Comcast telemarketer regarding incorrect information he was given for a special package offer. The situation was resolved by Comcast giving him a one-month credit to his account and checking to make sure that he is pleased with the new digital package he is receiving. C. New Digital Packages A letter was received May 20, 2003 regarding the new digital packages being offered to new customers. Current customers will be able to keep their existing packages, but will eventually be transitioned to a common channel lineup and packaging. D.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 17, 2003 PAGE 2 NEW BUSINESS A. Annual Report Chairperson Stroik asked for any comments on the Annual Report. This report is considered to be a standard report that meets the minimum requirement of our franchise. It is sure to be a topic of discussion in the negotiations of the renewal of the franchise. Motion by Dave Mahoney, seconded by Dennis Stroik to accept the Annual Report. AH Ayes. 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. E. Grant Request from Bryan Olson Bryan Olson fi.om Real Life Video proposed the making of a video production that focuses on the history of the City of Columbia Heights. He plans to produce a 60 to 90 minute video and enclosed an estimate of what he feels the costs would be to produce such a video. He is requesting a grant of $18,445. TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 17, 2003 PAGE 3 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. TELCOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MINUTES JULY 17, 2003 PAGE 4 REPORTS Bo Do Other New Business Jean shared a copy of a report of the June testing of the emergency warning systems on the digital systems. Time Warner, Comcast, and Charter all reported they had problems with the audio when the testing was done. They have since corrected the problem. Commission members would like to see NASA programming added to one of the reserved channels not being used currently, even if it is temporary. Channels 14 and 20 were mentioned as being two available at the present time.
