Roll call: All ayes Se OPEN MIKE/PROCLAMATIONS/PRESENTATIONS Councilmember Ruettimann was recognized on his being selected as the Grand Marshal for the East Side Parade. A resident of Fifth Street addressed some concerns he had regarding traffic, water runoff, an alley, the use of a building on 39th and California and truck traffic at the Post Office. These matters will be taken under consideration. A resident of Tyler Street ~hanked the Council for a sign which was installed at her request. She had also understood there would be additional signs in her area which addressed speed. This will be followed up by staff. This resident stated her concerns with loud music and questionable behavior in her neighborhood. She felt ordinances were not being cOmplied with and requested more aggressive enforcement be pursued. The City Manager advised that staff is aware of some of these behaviors and non-compliance activities and that measures are presently being taken to address them. A property owner on Van Buren Street stated to the Council he feels an ordinance is not being enforced relative to tires. There is a neighbor in his area who has positioned a large tire in the front yard and is using it for a planter. He feels this is a violation and that the staff he has contacted have been unresponsive. He thinks the ordinance regarding tires is very clear and not vague in its interpretation. Discussion continued regarding how tires being used as landscaping materials or planters are addressed in other communities. Staff was requested to have this information available for an upcoming Council work session. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING JULY 25, 1994 PAGE 4 Anoka County Sheriff Annual UDdate Anoka County Sheriff, Ken Wilkinson, briefly reviewed some of the crime statistics in Anoka County since 1993. He noted that the excellent working relationship his office has with the Columbia Heights Police Department continues. New technology in the Sheriff's Department was mentioned. Councilmember Nawrocki inquired if there is any progress on working out an arrangement for transporting prisoners from Columbia Heights to the County jail or to detox. He noted currently this service requires removing a squad car from active duty in the City for some period of time. Sheriff Wilkinson responded that presently there are no resources to perform this service. He did include this funding in his 1995 budget so it would be available for all Anoka County municipalities. He does not think it will remain in the County's budget. The Sheriff's intention is to continue to seek revenue sources for this service. National Night Out Proclamation Mayor Sturdevant presented a proclamation to Sergeant Bill Roddy which designated August 2, 1994 as "National Night Out" in Columbia Heights. Sergeant Roddy advised this is the eighth year that Columbia Heights has participated in this event and neighborhood activities have increased each year. pUBLIC HEARINGS!RESOLUTIONS/ORDINANCES a. First Reading - Ordinance No. 1285. Pertaining to Home Occupations Motion by Nawrocki, second by Ruettimann to waive the reading of the ordinance there being ample copies available for the public. Some residents who operate businesses out of their homes were not aware of the prohibitions connected with this activity. Some of them have employees who do not reside in their homes and are hired on a contract basis or on similar conditions. The City Manager felt the Home Occupation Ordinance needed additional discussion and that its language should be as precise as possible. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING JULY 25, 1994 PAGE 5 Councilmember Nawrocki expressed concerns with matters such as people who work as sales persons, telecommunicating businesses, "employee" relationships, etc. operating out of private homes in the City.

School District Early Childhood Special Education Program at Columbia Heiahts Mal~ - 4001 Central Avenue The Columbia Heights School District wishes to relocate the Early Childhood Special Education Program into the Columbia Heights Mall at 4001 Central Avenue. This educational activity would be located within 300 feet of an establishment, The BoxSeat, which holds a liquor license and could be in violation of an ordinance. Secondly, there is question whether this activity could be located in this area because of the zoning. Written opinions of both the City attorney and the School District's attorney were addressed by the City Manager. Members of the City Council expressed concern regarding possible future challenges to the City if there were to be a change in ownership of the property with the liquor license. It was felt the School Board and the mall landlord should agree to a Hold Harmless clause in the agreement for the school activity being located in this mall. It was also suggested there should be agreement that the activity should cease if such a situation should occur and new owners would not be penalized in seeking a liquor license. The City Attorney was requested to draft language to eccommodate an agreement whereby the School District would indicate it would not use this location to oppose some other operation in the mall and the landlord would agree to terminate the lease if need be. School District staff advised that some remodeling of the mall space must be done to accommodate the school activity. He also noted that there has been general agreement by the School Board to approving this location. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING JULY 25, 1994 PAGE 6 The School Board Chair advised that no lease has been presented to the School Board at this time by the landlord so no vote has been taken yet. There has been consensus on the School Board that this project should move forward on the site recommended. She also noted that she sees no problem with indemnifying the City. Motion by Nawrocki, second by Jolly to table further consideration of this matter until the August 8, 1994 City Council Meeting. Roll call: Jolly, Nawrocki, Ruettimann, Sturdevant - aye Peterson - nay b. Cable Company Franchise Violation Councilmember Nawrocki, who serves on the City's Cable Commission, reported on a meeting held with representatives of Meredith Cable regarding their settlement proposal being offered to the City. The settlement proposal was presented to the Cable Commission for discussion. The Cable Commission approved the following motion regarding this issue: "The Cable Company recommends to the City Council to follow through with the previous order and to instruct the City Manager to notify the Cable Company they are in non- compliance of the Rate Order and of our Cable Franchise as result of inclusion of the PEG fees in the rates beginning July 14, 1994." A representative of Meredith Cable responded with the following statement: " With respect to the City's determination that Meredith is in violation of its franchise and the City's rate order.as a result of its computation of permissible rates beginning July 14, 1994, Meredith respectfully disagrees with this conclusion. Effective May 15, 1994, the Federal Communications Commission adopted different rules governing the rates for basic cable service and equipment, superseding the rules adopted April 1, 1993 (which took effect September 1, 1993). Meredith was required, no later than July 14, 1994, to begin implementing revised rates calculated in accordance with the new rules. Because the new rules supplanted the rules upon which the City's rate order was based, those rules also, of necessity, supplantedthe City's rate order. In other words, Meredith was required to adopt new rates in accordance with rules, notwithstanding the City's prior rate order. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING JULY 25, 1994 PAGE 7 Based on the FCC deadline, Meredith intends to submit the appropriate FCC forms next month defending its rates and the City, as permitted by the FCC rules, will have an opportunity to review these rates and to order rollbacks and refunds to the extent the rates are found not to be in compliance with the new rules. Meredith requests the City to defer a decision on the recommendation of the Cable Commission until it analyzes our FCC forms to be filed by August 15." Councilmember Nawrocki again stated the position taken by the Cable Commission regarding enforcement of the original Order of the City relative the Meredith's rates. Motion by Nawrocki, second by Jolly that the City Council follow through with the previous order and instruct the City Manager to notify the cable company they are in non-compliance of the Rate Order and of the City's Cable Franchise as a result of the inclusion of the PEG fees in the rates beginning July 14, 1994.
