Report of the City Manager
Fehst stated he attended a North Star Corridor emergency meeting, which indicated a change in funding
for the North Star rail line, with MNDot action to stop the line at Big Lake instead of St. Cloud, because
of the lack of federal funding. Fehst outlined funding percentages for the project. Nawrocki stated there
wouM be no rail access to the City of Columbia Heights, but taxes wouM be increased taxes because of
the line. Wyckoff questioned the connection of the transit hub and the light rail system. Fehst indicated
the process. Peterson referred to the new bus line connection to Elk River, and felt it would be
advantageous to have this rail line to St. Cloud. Szurek felt the North Star Corridor was more practical
than light rail transit, as it would not stop every block and would run on existing tracks versus the light

Nawrocki referred to a call regarding new reflector signposts. Hansen stated the signposts are U-channels,
and give additional advance warnings. Nawrocki stated a resident request that one be placed on 49th and
Jefferson.
Nawrocki questioned work off the alley on 44th and 45th. Hansen stated the developer is currently working
on items at this location. Nawrocki referred to the lack of playground area around the units on 3rd. Szurek
stated the developer had assured the Planning and Zoning Commission there would be a lot of play area,
but there isn't. Nawrocki questioned the fixture on 50tn and Jefferson. Hansen indicated a pre-cast catch
basin manhole has been installed there. Nawrocki asked that information from the green sheet on
recycling/refuse be in the newsletter. Nawrocki felt the Jefferson retaining wall needs a fence. Hansen listed
the items, including the guardrails, which need to be completed. Nawrocki asked that fencing at the liquor
store be brought to a work session. Nawrocki stated he is still waiting for a balance sheet on the Sheffield
project.
Nawrocki referred to e-mail received on the use of fertilizers, and asked that a response be given. Wyckoff
stated she contacted this resident. Hansen stated that there is currently nothing restricting phosphorous use,
and referred to upcoming educational opportunities for the community and information from the Watershed
District. Hansen stated additional action would probably be forthcoming, and that the Watershed District
would work with vendors to not sell phosphorous fertilizers. Wyckoff indicated the City of Minneapolis no
longer allows this on their lawns, so dealers like Chem-lawn are probably not using it. Hansen agreed, and
stated that education on phosphorous is the best method of control.
Nawrocki referred to the City Planner's memo on not being able to require the Rainbow self-serve gas
station to have a bathroom and compared this to the Apache kiosk owner having to remove his building
because it did not have water. He would like to address the issue before the facility is built and there are
problems similar to the current situation at the municipal liquor store. Fehst stated he would check if the
building permit has been issued
Peterson asked that Vi Tabb's request, regarding sod replacement, be addressed. Nawrocki asked that she
received a written response.
Nawrocki stated there are still three cars for sale in the old Dr. Good parking lot, he stated that Community
Credit had been tagged for the violation of having too many cars for sale. He stated that Auto World does

not have a license to sell cars from this site and that something should be done about this violation. Fehst
indicated the Planner has addressed this issue. Hoeft referred to a meeting with the representative of the
property and the Planner, and pointed out that this sale of the autos is not a separate business, and the
vehicles are repossessions, which does not require a car selling license. If this were an accessory business,
a license would be required. Nawrockifelt it was another example of special treatment for this business.
Nawrocki felt that the original parking agreement for the Dr. Good lot was for excavation material and
employee parking. There are more vehicles there than employee cars, and vehicles that are not licensed.
Nawrocki stated that the landscaping required in 1986 has not been completed. Fehst stated that the
landscaping was discussed with the representative, and that unlicensed vehicles would be sited. Hoefi
indicated that the representative of the business stated he would deal with this. Fehst stated the Police
would be informed to visit the area.
Mayor Peterson asked that the youth present come forward to introduce themselves. Two students were
present.
Nawrocki referred to the Columbia Heights Historical Society meeting last week, and that Wyckoff and
Loader should be commended for their organization of this group.
Nawrocki stated, "Take City business very seriously.t"
Wyckoff asked if the port-a-potties would be removed from the University Avenue liquor store. Fehst stated
that the Police Department indicate 8 to l O people per night use the facility, and he asked if they could be
left there until the end of the month. Wyckoff stated that was not acceptable to her and they should not be
allowed around businesses. Nawrocki stated he wanted them left, as they are a part of the temporary
solution.
Wyckoff referred to the solution reached on the Abraham property, where he would convert two garage
stalls into part of the home, and would build additional storage to the maximum allowed on the lot.
Szurek stated concern that the design of the sound wall on University is not what was originally planned.
Hansen will check the plans and call the project manager.
Williams referred to past comments against Mr. Roberts' business, and that we need businesses in
Columbia Heights and should encourage them.
Williams asked everyone to "Pray for the peace and prosperity of the City", and read a message from
resident, Vi Tabb.
Peterson stated he does not believe there has been any special treatment of Auto World, and that they have
been singled out more than anyone. He referred to another business that has not been checked.
Peterson asked that with the recent problems in the world, everyone keep a positive attitude, and stated,
"Don't take ourselves too seriously, enjoy life, and do a random act of kindness - and may God continue to
bless America ".

2001.
Staff, the Cable Attorney, and a Certified Public Accountant are currently in the process of
reviewing the rates AT & T Broadband implemented in July, 2001, for basic programming,
installation, and associated equipment. Basic programming consists of over-the-air broadcast
stations, public, educational, and government access channels, and any other programming AT & T
Broadband chooses to add to its basic tier of service. The City does not regulate the rates for
any programming not carried on the basic service tier, including (but not limited to)
programming offered on a pay-per-channel or pay-per-program basis. Under federal law, the rates
for all programming not included in the basic service ties are unregulated. The rates

As part of its rate review, the City must hold a public hearing. The purpose of the public
hearing is to permit interested persons to express their views on the basic service programming
and equipment rates and installation charges AT & T Broadband calculated in its March 2001 rate
filing and implemented in July 2001.
In accordance with federal law, it is the City's responsibility, as a certified rate regulation
authority, to determine whether the basic service programming and equipment rates and
installation fees charged by AT & T Broadband comply with the Federal Communication Commission's
rate regulation rules, orders, and decisions. If it is ultimately determined that AT & T
Broadband has overcharged subscribers for basic service programming, associated equipment or
installation, the City Council may order refunds and a prospective rate reduction.
At their meeting of October 18, 2001, the Telecommunications Commission recommended that the
City Council establish a public hearing date of Tuesday, November 13, 2001, at 7:00 p.m. or as
soon thereafter as possible, to permit interested persons an opportunity to express their views
on the basic service programming and equipment rates and installation charges AT & T Broadband

was reviewed. It was learned that even though all approvals for setting up the TIF District were obtained
in October 1997, the TIF District was never certified with Anoka County, because the project was put on
hold. Over the next 2 months, Ms. Eldridge and I worked with EDA Attorney Dan Greensweig,
Kennedy and Graven, to determine what, if any, procedure should be used to "decertify" this TIF
District, as it did not appear that there would be any activity in the District prior to the October, 2002
deadline.
Recommendation:
The recommended procedure is for the EDA to consider approval of the attached Resolution, which
rescinds the TIF District #2 and its related Plan. If approved by the EDA Board of Commissioners, then
a similar Resolution would need to be approved the Columbia Heights City Council. There is no need,
according to Mr. Greensweig, to notify Anoka County of the Minnesota Department of Revenue, as
nothing was ever filed with one of these entities. These Resolutions rescinding TIF District #2 and the
Plans should be sufficient to clarify the EDA's and City's internal records and enable the EDA and City
to authorize another District should the project become reality in the future
Recommended Motion: Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2001-64, there being ample
copies available to the public.
Recommended Motion: Move to adopt Resolution No. 2001-64, being a resolution rescinding the
Redevelopment Project Housing Tax Increment Financing District No. 2 and its related Tax Increment
Financing Plan

Resolution No. 2001-16 are incorporated by reference.

District and its related Plan.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Attached is the business license agenda for the October 22, 2001 City Council meeting. This agenda
consists of applications for various contractor licenses and a new Second Hand Merchant/Dealer License for
the calendar year 2001.
Also included on the agenda are the renewals for calendar year 2002 that have been received and approved to date.
These include renewals for fuel dispensing devices, motor vehicle rental, tobacco sales, and the secondhand
dealer/merchant who is obtaining a license for the remainder of 2001 and for the calendar year 2002.
Also listed on the agenda is the renewal of a Currency Exchange License for Kwik Cash at 4639 Central
Avenue. This type of business is actually licensed by the State of Minnesota. However, pursuant to MN
Statute 53A.04, the State is required to submit the application to the governing body of the municipality in
which the business operates. The law further requires the governing body of the municipality to render a
decision regarding the renewal of the license within 60 days. I forwarded this application to the Police
Department, and they see no reason to deny the renewal of this license.
At the top of the license agenda you will notice a phrase stating *Signed Waiver Form Accompanied
Application. This means that the data privacy form has been submitted as required. If not submitted,
certain information cannot be released to the public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to approve the items as listed on the business license agenda for October 22, 2001 as presented,
regarding the new licenses for 2001 and the renewals for 2002.

The Columbia Heights Public Library needs your help!
Please consider participating in the Barnes & Noble Bookfair on November 13,2001 which will benefit
the library. A portion of your purchases will be dedicated to establishing a foundation for the library.
The bookfair is scheduled for 5pm to 8pm on November 13 at the HarMar Barnes & Noble, 2100 Snelling
Avenue. Only purchases made during the specified time frame will count toward the library's fundraiser.
How can you help?
1. Start your holiday shopping early and consider giving books as gifts.
The Library has
prepared a number ofbooklists with suggestions for that special person on your shopping list.
Stop in and pick up a listing of gift suggestions at the library. Consult with the library staff
and check out the many great reading lists available.
Contact Barnes and Noble ahead of time to request the titles you wish to purchase (only those
items that have arrived by the day of the bookfair will count toward the fundraiser).
Be sure to visit the HarMar Barnes & Noble bookstore on November 13th between 5 pm and 8
pm to make your purchase.
Don't forget to get your purchase gift wrapped at the hospitality table and receive a special
thank you from the library.
Is there anything else you can do?
1. Consider donating a book to the library.
It's what we're calling the 1- 2 PUNCH;
1) the library receives a percentage of your purchase toward the foundation and the
book as a donation.
2) you can take the entire purchase as a tax deduction. A listing of books the library
would like as donations will be available that evening at the hospitality table.
2. Don't forget about Project Bookshelf, the local holiday fundraiser to provide books as gifts to
those less fortunate children in Anoka County. Pick up your donation on November 13 (it's
another 1-2 PUNCH).
3. Spread the word! Talk to neighbors and friends about the fundraiser. Make a date to shop or
eat out that evening in the HarMar area and then make a stop at the bookstore before or after
your outing.
For any additional information on this event, contact Marsha Tubbs at the
Columbia Heights Public Library 763.706.3690 anytime between 9am and 5 pm Monday through Friday.

the Creation of an EDA, Modifying
Resolution 96-01.
BACKGROUND: At the EDA Board meeting held in February of 2001, the Board discussed specific
direction and priorities of the HRA and EDA. It was suggested that the Board consider transferring all
City housing responsibilities, ownership, and operations to the Columbia Heights Housing and
Redevelopment Authority allowing the EDA to focus on Community Development and Redevelopment
Issues. This would allow greater focus to be conducted in each respective area.
At a following Board meeting, President Ruettimann requested Board authorization to obtain procedural
direction from the EDA legal counsel and to layout the necessary steps to accomplish the proposed
transition.
I have enclosed a copy of a letter from Steve Bubul of Kennedy and Graven, Chartered that summarizes
these steps.
At the September 24, 2001 City Council meeting a Public Hearing was set for October 22, 2001 at 7:00
p.m. regarding an amended and restated resolution enabling the creation of an EDA, Modifying
Resolution 96-01.
Therefore, the Columbia Heights City Council has in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Section
469.093, provided public notice and is holding a Public Heating concerning the Modification of powers
of the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority.
This resolution constitutes an amendment and restatement of the original enabling resolution,
incorporating limitations on Columbia Heights powers in accordance with the allocation Ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to close the Public Heating.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2001-62, there being ample

respectively, and two members for six years. Thereafter all commissioners shall be

term of office as a City Council member.
2.04. A vacancy is created in the membership of the CHEDA when a City Council member of
the board of commissioners ends Council membership. A vacancy for this or any other
reason must be filled for a new term or the balance of the expired term, as the case may
be, in the manner in which the original appointment was made.
2.05. The following limits apply to the CHEDA and its operation:
(a)
The sale of bonds or other obligations of the CHEDA must be approved by the
City Council.
(b)
The CHEDA must follow the budget process for City departments in accordance
with City policies, ordinances, and resolutions and the City charter.

Issue Statement:
A request to review bidding proposals submitted for the sale of City owned property at 4656 Monroe Street NE.
Back~round:
The City of Columbia Heights acquired and demolished a substandard home at 4656 Monroe Street NE in August 1995.
This property has been vacant since 1995, but with the City Council's reallocation of these former CDBG funds, the
property can now be sold on the open market without CDBG requirements. The City Council recently took action to
establish a minimum bid price for this property at $33,000 and authorized staff to publicly advertise the sale of the same.
Analysis:
The City advertised this property for 45 days as recommended by the City Council and EDA, and sent out bidding packets to
builders and parties who had expressed interest in developing a single-family lot. The lot was also advertised in the Focus
and the Star Tribune, as well as on local cable television. As indicated in the bid packets, bids would be considered on the
basis of purchase price, as well as the estimated value of the property when fully developed. The City acquired the property
in 1995 for $33,000, as well as additional costs for demolition, appraisal, and closing fees. The fair market value of the
property has recently been established at $35,000, which will have to be paid back to Anoka County as CDBG program
income. Any additional money gained from the sale of this property over $35,000 will be considered profit. As indicated in
the bid packets, the City Council reserves the right to reject any and all bids, can negotiate terms of the proposals, and
reserves the right to award the contract in the best interests of the City.
Recommendation:
Staffrecommends the City Council review responsible bids submitted for the sale of City-owned property at 4656 Monroe
Street NE and award the highest and best bid at the October 22, 2001, City Council meeting, thus allowing construction to
start as soon as possible.
