ITEM: BONDING FOR PUBLIC BY: WILLIAM ELRITE BY: ~~i
IMPROVEMENTS AND AUTHORIZATION TO DATE: 10/03/02 //,/ DATE: /
SEEK PROPOSALS FOR UTiLITY RATE
STUDY ,
This council letter is a follow-up to previous discussions with the City Council regarding public
improvements in Zone 5, Zone 6A, Zone 6B, Zone 7 and Central Avenue. At the time these projects were
approved, there were limited discussions in relationship to bonding for the projects for the sU'eet portion, the
water main portion and the storm sewer portion as there are not adequate City reserves to cover these
construction items. The only fund that has adequate reserves to cover the construction where bonding is not
necessary is the Sanitary Sewer fund. The following chart shows the breakdown of bonding needed. As a
follow-up to the work session of September 16th, staff sent out informal requests for financial advisor
proposals. Attached is a memo from the City Finance Director summarizing these proposals.
Name Amount
Street Construction $1,370,442
Water Construction 1,240,693
Storm Sewer ConstructiOn 450,316
Streetscape i 250,190
i TOTAL $ 3,311~641
Also in relationship to this bonding, it will be necessary to increase storm sewer and water utility rates. To
facilitate this and to examine the long-range picture in our utility funds and rate structure, staff is
recommending utilizing a consultant to review and make recommendations in relationship to utility rates.
The reason for this is to have an outside individual perform a more in-depth evaluation of our long-term
needs and establish a long-term rate schedule. To accomplish both of these objectives, staff is requesting
approval to seek proposals for a utility rate study and seeking authorization from the council to have Ehlers
& Associates Inc. prepare documents for a bond sale.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement
x*i~h Ehlers & Associates Inc. to prepare bond documents at a cost of $15,750 based on their informal
proposal of September 30, 2002 for financial advisory service.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staffto seek proposals for the utility rate study.

INFORMAL REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL ADVISOR PROPOSALS (Page 1 of 2)
Attached is the letter I sent out requesting proposals for financial advisory services. Also
attached are excerpts from the various proposals showing the services provided and the fees
charged. Some of the proposals included additional information on other services provided by
their company such as clients served and bonding theories. The entire proposals are available for
anyone who wants them.
The chart below shows the total cost of the three proposals. From this chart, you can see that
Springsted, Inc. is high and Evensen Dodge is low with Ehlers & Associates coming in at a cost
slightly higher than Evense~n Dodge. The costs in these proposals were not surprising as Evensen
Dodge has a reputation oflconsistently being the low-cost bidder. As is noted in the Springsted
proposal, "Some of our competitors leave more of the detail work to others." This statement
could tie into several of the statements in the proposal from Evensen Dodge where they indicate
that they assist the city in Various aspects of the bond issuance process. At the same time both
the Ehlers and Springsted proposals quite clearly list the work that they will perform. In the past
the City has utilized services from both Springsted and Ehlers and found both firms to provide
fully satisfactory service.

In seeking a financial advisor, I think it is very important that the City look at establishing a
long-term relationship. Asi this is a consulting, advisory service, it is very important to consider
the long-term ramifications and not just the immediate cost savings of the current proposal. By
having a long-term relationship with a financial advisor firm, staff can call on them during the
Page Two
year for information and advice on various issues. If the City is bouncing around on every bond
issue looking for low bid Only, we cannot develop a long-term relationship and we have no one
to turn to during the year for information and other related financial advisor services.
In the past Springsted has served as the City's financial advisor for bond issues. Ehlers has
served as financial advisor to the EDA and has done the City's grant applications and financial
reporting for the tax increment financing (TIF). This TIF financial advisor relationship with
Ehlers has been very successful in recent years as they did apply for and qualify us for a
$300,000 state TIF grant. They also saved us several thousand dollars in the more recent
controversy with the state auditor's office over TIF funds received in the Sullivan Lake TIF
district. In addition to thisi Ehlers staff has met with us on several occasions to provide financial
advisor information regarding TIF and other items as a free service. Based on past experience
and the proposals received, I would recommend accepting the proposal from Ehlers &
Associates. The reason for this is that Ehlers has demonstrated a consistently high level of
service to the City and their proposal is $2,720 less than the Springsted proposal. The City could
save an additional $1,150 by going with Evensen Dodge. However, their service is an unknown
and it would be interrupting a successful, long-term relationship that we have had with Ehlers &
Associates. This, in a long run, could prove to be less cost-effective, particularly if Ehlers began
to charge for the ongoing advice they provide us during the year in relationship to TI1e and other
items. If you would like any additional information regarding this, please let me know.

Advisers t~ thc Public Scaer
September 30, 2002
Mr. William Elrite, Finance Director
City of Columbia Heights
590 - 40th Avenue NE
Columbia Heights, MN 55421
Dear Mr. Elrite: ~
Springsted is responding to your request for a formal proposal regarding our cost for the
City of Columbia Heights' upcoming Capital Improvement Bond for approximately $3,400,000.
We are pleased to have served as the City's Financial Advisor for twelve years and truly desire
to continue that relationshiip. We recognize that cost is important in undertaking any public
project and that good public policy dictates that a review of cost be a part of the process.
We take pride in the fact that our standard fees for undertaking municipal bond issues have not
significantly changed since 1987. We have maintained the highest quality of service available in
the municipal industry and have met all the increased state and federal regulations while
keeping our fees constanti. Of course, our cost of business has gone up just as the City's, but
we have been able to maintain our rate structure by the application of technology and paying
very close attention to our cost. We try to make our cost to the client as transparent as
possible. Direct cost is identified, as well as indirect cost. State and federal law mandate the
bond issue process. All of the steps and details have to be undertaken. It's just a matter of who
gets paid to do it. We assume the responsibility for managing the entire project, including
coordinating with the City,I bond council, underwriters, credit and reinsuring agencies. Some of
our competitors leave more of the detail work to others. They hold their cost down but others
have to charqe more. This is a fact known in the industry We have included a detailed outline
of the services we render in a bond transaction. With regard to other, less experience
proposals, the old saying Still holds, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is".
Springsted serves close tO 400 public localities in Minnesota, more than all our competitors
combined. We do not work for the private sector, so our focus is clear and we know which side
of the table we always repiresent. This is not true of the competition. The reason these public
entities choose Springsted year after year is our high quality service, delivered with absolute
integrity, at a fair market pirice. We hope Columbia Heights will see our proposal in the same
light as other public entities in the State. A partial list of representative Springsted clients is
enclosed for the Council's review.

One of Springsted's definiing qualities is long term relationships with our clients. Some of
our clients go back to theloriginal day Ossie Springsted opened the doors more than 50 years
ago. We continue to pro.~ide independent financial advisory services to the public sector.
Because of our belief in the importance of long term financial relationships and the value
it brings to both Springsted and Columbia Heights, we will also propose the following
contract terms: ~
1. Springsted will p~ovide a 5% discount on our fee on all projects undertaken during the
next three years,i based upon the standard schedule included in this proposal,
assuming a three-year contract with the City. This will include bond issues and any
special studies a~d tax increment work.
2. Springsted will p!ovide a 10% discount based upon a five-year contract for the
same services.
3. After five-years, Springsted believes both parties should reevaluate the contractual
relationship currently being undertaken.
Finally, we consider Columbia Heights an important client with whom we have enjoyed a
professional and respectfUl relationship. Our proposal represents our commitment to this
relationship and we look forward to discussing it with you to our mutual benefit.
Respectfully,
Paul T. Steinman, Vice P~esident

Description of Services and Project Approach
General Financial Advisory Services
Financial planning for public jurisdictions is a coordinated, continuous
process, subject to review and modification as client objectives,
demographics, financial results and economic conditions change.
Although it often occurs in phases, the public financial planning process
is an integrated and ongoing financial management tool using numerous
independent decisions relating to a jurisdiction's financial concerns.
Springsted identifies five pheses in this strategic planning process:
2.
3.
4.
5.
Review data and establish financial goals and objectives.
Process and analyze information.
Recommend a comprehensive financial plan and debt policy.
Implement the plan.
Period cally monitor the plan.
Phase 1
Review Data and
Establish Financial GOals
and Objectives '
During the initial client meeting, the team clarifies and
establishes what the client may expect from planning
sessions and what the team requires to complete all
phases. The scope is finalized and the compensation
structure is outlined, in addition to all gathering necessary
details regarding the services to be rendered.
Springsted will gather and review quantitative and qualitative data.
The client will assist in providing the following documents (when available):
· MissiOn Statement
· ComPrehensive Annual Financial Report (last three years)
· Most!Recent Preliminary Official Statement (general obligation)
· Most Recent Preliminary Official Statement (revenue)
· Capital Improvements Plan
· Debt iManagement Policies
· Current Fiscal Year's Budget
· Five-Year Financial Forecasts
· Current Year's Unaudited Financial Reports
· Most Recent Credit Reports from Credit Rating Agencies
· Other' Available Information (Client-Specific)
(e.g., joint powers agreement, developer agreements, tax increment
financing plans, enterprise cash flows, feasibility studies, previous utility
or enterprise rate studies, engineering feasibility's studies, etc.)
The initial meeting is followed by more extensive fact-finding sessions
as necessary. Our computer system facilitates the processing, storing
and retrieving of client data.
[] SPRINGSTED Page I
Ci~ of Columbia Heights, Minnesota
In conjUnction with developing a quantitative economic and financial profile,
we ascertain qualitative information about each client, as well. These
topics include:
· Defined goals and objectives
· Rise profile
· AntiCipated legislative changes
· Current and future political climate
· Other planning assumptions
After thorough review of the client data, we assist the jurisdiction in
establishing realistic goals (or modifying existing ones) and quantifying
them as measurable objectives. As the central focus of the strategic
planning process, financial goals are quantified in dollar amounts and time
frames, ito the extent possible.
Objectives are prioritized and ranked in order of importance. The nature
of the objective may require evaluation of certain limiting constraints or
parameters, such as a declining tax base, volatile political climate, etc.
The team identifies and evaluates all factors limiting the range of
alternatives appropriate to meeting client public policy needs and achieving
strategic objectives.
Phase 2
Process and
Ana/yze Information
In Phase 2, we review relevant policy, planning, financial
and legal documents, such as statements of financial
position, current cash flow statements and, where
appropriate, projections of enterprise cash flows,
developer agreements and analyses of the make-up of
revenues and expenditures. Once all relevant information
has been reviewed, the team analyzes it to identify strengths and
weaknesses in the jurisdiction's total financial situation, prioritizing areas
needing immediate attention. Springsted identifies existing potential
problems that may negatively affect a client's ability to achieve objectives.
This is an important part of strategic financial planning.
Springsted reviews preliminary financial planning information with client
staff and, if necessary, suggests ways to modify the priority of objectives,
the objeCtives themselves, or the client's understanding of current or future
program needs and available resources. Economic conditions, both
current and forecasted, are evaluated in this phase.
[] SPRINGSTED
Page 2
City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota
Phase 3
Recommend
a Comprehensive
Financial Plan
and Debt Policy
Next, Springsted identifies appropriate techniques for
achieving client objectives in light of the political, legal
and economic environment. Usually, several scenarios
emerge (using conservative, moderate and aggressive
assumptions) to establish a range of possible
alternatives for detailed evaluation. Alternative
scenarios are further evaluated and integrated into a
comprehensive financial plan with recommendations to meet each client's
requirements. The draft comprehensive plan is then presented to key
client staff and elected officials. After appropriate modification, the final
comprehensive financial plan is presented to the jurisdiction for approval
and adoption.
Concurrent with the development of the comprehensive financial plan, we
will wore with the client to assist in the development of financial and debt
management policies. Often this work is done in conjunction with other
professionals, such as the auditor and risk manager, who provide financial
advice tO the client.
Phase 4
Implement
the Plan
In this phase, the client, with Springsted's assistance,
implements the plan using other professionals as needed.
A more detailed description of the six specific steps we
take when implementing a financing plan is provided in
the following section entitled "Services Related to
Debt Issuance."
Phase 5
Periodically
Monitor the Plan
As the plan is implemented, Springsted establishes with
the client a system for periodic review and revision.
Springsted monitors annual financial results, changes
in tax laws and general economic conditions. In addition,
we evaluate new financial products for possible inclusion
in the client's plan. In regularly scheduled reviews, we
evaluate the comprehensive financial plan for changes in the client's
situation. Objectives, revenue sources, expenses, legal and/or political
circumstances may have changed. In these situations, clients may need
to return to Phase 1 of the process to gather and review additional data
to develop and meet new requirements.
Springsted provides its clients with a variety of ongoing services. We
publish a newsletter that addresses trends in the market, including interest
rates, financial instruments, financial disclosure and federal tax laws. Our
Client Representatives are able to report to clients the results of a sale for
any bond issue that is offered publicly. Our Resource Center tracks state
law char~ges that have a financial component affecting particular clients.
[] SPRINGSTED Page 3
City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota
We maintain all past bond sales in a computer database, thus facilitating
periodic review of outstanding debt for refunding opportunities. Our
orientation is toward long-term client relationships.
' Springsted contracts with its clients for certain ongoing
Additional Optional services that must be provided on an annual basis,
Services
including arbitrage rebate and Securities and Exchange
i Commission (SEC) annual financial disclosure. Under
SEC disClosure regulations, effective July 3, 1995, underwriters may not
purchase or sell bonds in new offerings of over $1 million, unless the issuer
or obligor will sign a written agreement to provide information and notice of
material ievents to certain repositories. In addition, brokers or dealers must
have procedures in place to review information before recommending sales
of securities. Notice of material events includes such things as
delinquencies, defaults, unscheduled draws on debt service, credit
enhancement draws, adverse tax opinions, bond calls and rating changes.
Annual financial information includes audited financial statements, if
available, and/or annual financial information, such as budgets.
Services Related to Debt Issuance
Springsted's debt issuance services permit clients to select the service
approach best meeting their needs and resources. The selection ranges
from a fUll-service approach, whereby we perform all appropriate steps in
the process, to a "menu-like" service approach. Our objective is to
complement the client's resources to yield and optimal financing program.
Regardless of which service approach the client selects, we endorse, and
can provide, a comprehensive process to ensure that an individual
financing meets both the client's immediate and long-term objectives.
A hallmark of our unique approach to client service
is the initial planning phase that precedes every Step I
financing. We have discussed in some detail our Planning Phase
approach to financial planning. We believe very
strongly in this approach, for it provides the foundation for all bond
financings. We provide a written recommendation for each financing that
describes in detail the relevant points of the transaction. This document,
including the sale recommendations, facilitates an understanding of the
financing by client staff and elected officials. Normally, we follow up this
written presentation with an oral presentation by the Client Representative
to the apPropriate client constituents.
[] SPRINGSTED

In conjunction with designated client staff, our
analysts will prepare the Official Statement that is Step 2
Prepare and Distribute
used in marketing the obligations. Our extensive the Official Statement
Resource Center, the client's staff and other sources
provide information for the development of a financial, economic
and demographic profile of the issuer. The draft Official Statement is
reviewed by the client, bond counsel and Springsted before being
distributed. Our internal procedures ensure that full disclosure
requirements are met.
SpringSted converts the Official Statement document into a PDF format
and posts it on our website. We then notify potential bond purchasers
across the nation, through the use of electronic mail, that the Official
Statement has been posted and is ready for their use. This process
guarantees that each bond offering receives the widest exposure possible
to receive the maximum number of bids.
A limited number of Official Statements are printed in hardcopy version
and sent to our clients. In addition (after the completion of the sale), all
final Official Statement are printed in hard copy and delivered to the
purchaSer of the bonds.
Pdnting of the hardcopy official Statement is most frequently performed
on our in-house docuTech brand equipment, but due to workload and
special needs, it may be outsourced.
When appropriate, the team conducts informational meetings with the
investment community, including investment bankers (dealers and dealer
banks, institutional investor's banks, bank holding companies and insurance
companies) in New York and elsewhere, to establish bidding interest for
each offedng. We also advertise the sale in appropriate national financial
publications above and beyond any state publication requirements.
Our staff collects and submits necessary
documentation to the credit rating agency Step 3
Obtain a
or agenCies. Before this is done, our staff reviews Credit Rating
the official Statement, the client's financial
statements and budget, and independently arrives at a credit assessment.
This helps us identify strengths and weaknesses so they may be
addressed in a proactive rather than reactive manner. This process has
been crucial to our clients' overall success in protecting weakened credits
and upgrading strong credits.

A member of the
projec~ team vdll help
develop the presentation
and accompany youl
representatives on a
rating presentation
meeting.
As the bond sale approaches, we will do a full rating analysis and
a cost/benefit analysis to determine whether the cost of pursuing an
upgrade would be offset by interest cost savings or other benefits of an
upgrade. Depending on the size of the project or projects to be financed,
as well aS possible changes that may have occurred, we may, as a result
of our in~house evaluation, recommend that a client select appropriate
representatives to visit New York for a personal presentation to the rating
agencies. A Springsted representative will coordinate the development of
the presentation and accompany the client's representatives to guide them
through the actual rating presentation. We can work with rating agencies
to help yOu manage the impact of debt on your credit rating.
Springsted uses the Bloomberg terminal for
up-to-the~minute research on market trends, Step 4
Monitor
interest rate levels, comparable sales, market supply the Market
and demand factors, economic trends and political
events affecting the markets. Monitoring these situations before the sale
can aid in optimal timing of the sale. We use such research on an
ongoing basis after the sale as a basis for comparison with other issuers
in the m~rket.
Our master mailing list for competitive sales includes national, regional
and statei dealers, as well as institutional investors. By contacting the
trading desks of previous syndicate managers and selling group buyers,
in addition to others who have indicated an interest, we can increase the
number of potential bidders and increase their awareness of the offering.
In competitive sales, our preference is to conduct
the bid-taking process from our fully staffed and Step 5
= Conduct
fully equipped offices, rather than at the site of the Sale
the issuer. This reduces the risk of having to
reject bids because they could not be processed prior to the bidding deadline.
It also sPeeds verification and reporting. Tabulated bids are
then promptly presented to the client, along with our recommendation for
acceptance or rejection.
Because electronic technology is having a great impact on the way
municipal! securities will be presented to the investment market, we believe
special attention should be given to our experience in this area. Springsted
has had experience using all three electronic bidding platforms that are
currently available for this purpose: MuniAuction, Parity and Bloomberg.
There are! differences among them. For example, MuniAuction permits
separate bids for each maturity; the others do not. Another difference we
have obServed is that Parity is linked to the Bond Buye?s BidComp program,
[] SPRINGS]ED Page 6
City of Columbia Hei£hts, Minnesota
which is used by nearly all major underwriters to prepare their bids.
It requires only a touch of a button for the underwriters to submit the bid
electronically. As a result, the underwriters are happy to pay for the Parity
bidding Service.
Our legal liaison group coordinates the compilation
of transcript material with the client's bond attorney,
oversees all bond printing or book entry set-up
and reg!stration procedures, and ensures that
proceeds are wired to the proper client account on
the day of settlement. This unique client service reduces the time
and concern expended by the client and other parties to the financing.

Dear Mr. Elrite:
The fee for a $3,400,000 bOnd sale by Ehlers and Associates, Inc. would be $15,750. This fee would
include one bond issue that would include three different purposes, street, water system and storm
sewer improvements and does not include any underwriter's fee (discount). The fee includes all
services necessary in the issuing of the obligation, including, but not limited to:
· Working with citY staff and engineers in preparation and planning of the issue and its
structure,
· Providing debt service schedules,
· Forecasting alternative scenarios for special assessment revenues and pre-paid specials, and
altering the debt serVice schedules to avoid unexpected arbitrage or (in today's investment
rates) negative arbitrage,
· Work with bond attorneys to assemble appropriate documentation necessary to issue the
bond,
· Research, author, produce and distribute a thorough, accurate and attractive official statement
for the sale of the bonds,
· Advertise the sale as required in financial publications to best assure competitive bidding,
· Facilitate bond rating conference with Moody's Investors Service,
· Attend all requested City Council meetings,
· Receive bids, compute results and advise as to the acceptability in light of the bond market
conditions,
· Supervise the delivery of the obligations, closing the financial transaction and delivery of the
proceeds,
· and provide a record book to the city, of all necessary documents and necessary data through
the maturity of the issue.
Recently a number of our client communities have received bond rating upgrades. We begin the
process by working with city staff to assemble and prepare presentation material and have had
strategy sessions prior to the bond rating interview. We would suggest and facilitate Moody's
Investors Service visiting the City of Columbia Heights as an enhancement to the usual rating
conference call.
Ehlers and Associates, Inc. will work to make the issue as flexible as possible for the City without

compromising interest rates. We have been able to achieve this by structuring 15 year improvement
issues, which traditionally have had call dates at ten years, with call dates as short as five to eight
years while receiving competitive interest rates.
We believe that we provide the highest level of quality and innovative service to our clients. We are
an independent financial advising finn, meaning we have no financial interest in the issue, beyond
the stated up-front fee. We have a wide range of expertise in staffand personnel available to assist
the City of Columbia He{ghts in this and future projects and will make any of these personnel
available to the City upon request. We look forward to serving as part of the City of Columbia

LETTERS AND REQUESTS:
REQUEST FOR BIKE AND SKATEBOARD PARK IN COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
Columbia Heights resident, Kathryn Snyder, residing at 5210-5th St. NE inquired on
getting a skate park built in Columbia Heights. Commission Chairperson, Eileen Evans,
indicated that there is no money in the budget to fund a skate park and that having a skate
park would incur a heavy liability for the City. Kathryn stated that neighborhood kids are
skating in their alley or the Snyder Drug parking lot, which is not a safe place for the kids
to be skate boarding. Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, informed her that there is no
money allocated in the budget for a park of that nature. Many current structures and
playgrounds within Columbia Heights are outdated but there is no money to make any
improvements at this time. Prestemon Park is the only park that has had major
improvements and those improvements were made possible with grant monies.
Columbia Heights resident, Laurie Zagaros, residing at 5205-4th St. NE asked if looking
into getting local construction companies to help and if fundraising would be an option.
She also asked if the next important issue is liability. Keith indicated that liability for a
skate park is a major issue and would be determined by the type of skate park built. If a
tier 1 skate park was built, the liability would be minimal and the park would be open at
all times without supervision. If a tier 2 skate park was built, the liability is major and the
skate park would need to be closed during the nighttime hours and there would need to be
onsite supervision. The difference in the two tiers is the heights of the ramps.
Commission Member, Tom Greenhalgh, stated that looking into getting community
organizations to help defer costs and fundraising would be a good place to start. Mayor

Gary Peterson stated that if the money were raised, the City would look at options of a
good location for the skate park within a City Park.
OLD BUSINESS:
UPDATE HUSET pARK MASTER PLAN
Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, reported to the Commission that Public Works
Director/City Engineer, Kevin Hansen, was out ill so this item will not be discussed in
detail. He also stated that in regards to the Huset Park Master Plan, the Industrial Plan
would be working in conjunction with the Huset Park Master Plan. The current timeline
is to wait for the Industrial Plan, as this plan may impact the park plan.
NEW BUSINESS:
JPM 1F. ASE AGREEMENT
Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, discussed with commission members about
adding additional wording that would be beneficial to the JPM lease agreement. The
City's insurance company has suggested this additional wording. Additional wording
would require all licensed caterers to list the City as additional insured and provide the
City with a copy of their insurance. Motion by Greenhalgh, second by Foss to add the
additional wording that all caterers must provide the City with a copy of their catering
license and a certificate of insurance listing the City of Columbia Heights as additional
insured, to be effective the 1st of October 2002. All ayes, motion carded.
RECREATION AND MURZYN HALL BUDGET FOR 2003
Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, briefly discussed the recreation and Murzyn Hall
budget for 2003. He indicated that the 2003 budget has had minimal increases, which are
mostly due to personal services, step increases and utility increases. The budget meeting
is scheduled for Wednesday, October 23, 2002 at 7:00 p.m. in the Gauvitte room. He has
suggested that the Park and Recreation Commission meeting take place at 6:00 p.m.
instead of 6:30 p.m. on that same day to accommodate the budget meeting.

REPORTS
RECREATION DIRECTOR
THE BUILDING OF A LIQUOR STORAGE CABINET FOR THE COLUMBIA
HEIGHTS LION' Si CLUB
Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, reported that the Columbia Heights Lion's Club is
moving forward with building a liquor storage area just south of the LaBelle Lounge.
They are planning on starting the building process on Wednesday, October 2, 2002.
JPM SIGNAGE
Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, indicated that he would be approaching he
Columbia Heights Lion' s Club for money to purchase a new JPM sign for the front of the
building. Commission Member, Jerry Foss, asked if this new sign would be
programmable from the inside JPM. Keith stated that it would not be programmable
from the inside JPM; it will be an updated version of the current signage.
NEI
Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, informed the commission members that Harry
Wilcox from NEI stated that the roof must have leaked and damaged the gym floor in the
large gym. The southwest and northwest comers of the gym floorboards are warped and
need some major repair. This is a serious problem now that NEI has determined that the
small gym is already unsafe and will not let us use it. Keith also indicated that to be in
compliance with the new NEI contract, there must be someone at the front doors during
any recreational events to supervise the facility.
