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 City Council Minutes October 8, 2001 Page 11 of 12 rail transit, which would require its own tracks, with numerous stops. Upcoming Work Session Items Fehst stated that the Police and Fire Department budgets would be discussed at the October 15, 2001 meeting beginning at 8:00 p.m. And, if the report on the roof specifications arrives, it would be distributed.

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 City Council Minutes October 8, 2001 Page 12of12 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 ".

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.

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.

WHEREAS, the EDA previously adopted the Central Business District Redevelopment Project and Redevelopment Plan thereof. WHEREAS, by Resolution, dated October 21, 1997, the EDA adopted the District and its related Plan; and WHEREAS, a copy of the District and its related Plan were not sent to the Anoka County Auditor and the District was therefore not certified by the County; and WHEREAS, a copy of the District and its related Plan was not sent to the Minnesota Department of Revenue; and WHEREAS, the development foreseen by the Plan is not likely to occur as set forth in the Plan. WHEREAS, it is found and determined by the City that the findings and determinations of EDA Resolution No. 2001-16 are incorporated by reference. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board as follows: 1. The City hereby rescinds, revokes and annuls Resolution No. 97-58, adopting the District and its related Plan. 2.

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.

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 copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 2001-62, an amended and restated Resolution Enabling the Creation of an Economic Development Authority, Modifying Resolution 96-01. Attachments COUNCIL ACTION: h:\CL consent2001~EDA HRA -Ch Res2001-62 10-22-2001 RESOLUTION NO. 2001-62 AMENDED AND RESTATED RESOLUTION ENABLING TI-W~ CREATION OF AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY IN THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS; MODIFYING RESOLUTION NO. 96-01 BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota (City) as follows: Section 1. Background and Findings 1.01. The City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.090 to 469.1081 (EDA Act) to establish an economic development authority to coordinate and administer economic development and redevelopment plans and programs for the City. 1.02. By Resolution No. 96-01 approved January 8, 1996 (Enabling Resolution), the City established the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority (CHEDA), for the purpose of coordinating and administering economic development and redevelopment in and for the City. 1.03. By resolution approved January 8, 1996, the City transferred to CHEDA the control, authority and operation of all projects then administered by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Columbia Heights (HRA). 1.04. The City Council has determined to modify the respective powers of CHEDA and the I-IRA pursuant to Section 469.094, subdivision 1 of the EDA Act, and to that end has adopted Ordinance No. 1442 (the Allocation Ordinance). 1.05. The Allocation Ordinance generally allocates powers related to low and moderate income housing under Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.0146 (HRA Act) to the HRA, and powers related to economic development and redevelopment to the CHEDA. 1.06. The City Council has further determined to modify the Enabling Resolution in order to conform the powers of CHEDA with the Allocation Ordinance. 1.07. The City Council has in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Section 469.093, provided public notice and conducted a public hearing on October 22, 2001, concerning the modification of powers of the CHEDA at which all persons wishing to be heard were given an opportunity to express their views. 1.08. This resolution constitutes an amendment and restatement of the original Enabling Resolution, incorporating limitations on CHEDA's powers in accordance with the Allocation Ordinance. Section 2. Enabling Authority. 2.01. The CHEDA was established under the Enabling Resolution as adopted January 8, 1996. 2.02. The board of commissioners of the CHEDA shall consist of seven members, at least two but no more than five of whom must be members of the City Council. The members shall be appointed by the Mayor with approval of the City Council. 2.03. Commissioners shall be appointed for initial terms of one, two, three, four and five years respectively, and two members for six years. Thereafter all commissioners shall be appointed for six-year terms. Notwithstanding the above provisions, the term of any commissioner who is a member of the City Council shall coincide with that member's 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. (c) Development and redevelopment actions of the CHEDA must be in conformance with the City comprehensive plan and official controls implementing the Comprehensive plan. (d) The CHEDA must submit its plans for development and redevelopment to the City Council for approval in accordance with City planning procedures and laws. (e) The CHEDA shall not hire permanent or temporary employees without prior approval by the City Council.

'N Economic Development, Redevelopment and Housing Powers between the Economic Development Authority and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority 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 thus 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, the first reading of Ordinance No. 1442, being an Ordinance relating to the Division of Economic Development, Redevelopment and Housing Powers between the EDA and the HRA took place. The City Council established a second reading for Ordinance No. 1442 on Monday, October 22, 2001 at 7:00 p.m. By approving the second reading of Ordinance No. 1442 the Council has determined that the City's overall housing and redevelopment objectives will be best served if certain housing powers are allocated to the HRA and redevelopment and economic development powers are allocated to the EDA. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance 1442, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Adopt Ordinance 1442, being an ordinance relating to the division of Economic Development, Redevelopment and Housing Powers between the Economic Development Authority, and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority.

It is hereby determined that: (a) pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.001 to 469.047 and predecessor statutes ("HRA Act"), the City previously established the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Columbia Heights ("HRA") for the purpose of carrying out housing and redevelopment activities in the City. (b) pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.090 to 469.1081 ("EDA Act"), the City Council established the Columbia Heights Economic Development Authority ("CHEDA") by resolution approved January 8, 1996 (the "Enabling Resolution"), for the purpose of coordinating and administering the housing, economic development and redevelopment programs for the City. (c) by resolution approved January 8, 1996, the City transferred the control, authority and operation of all HRA projects to the CHEDA. (d) by resolution approved January 29, 1996, the HRA approved the transfer of all HRA contracts, programs and property from the I-IRA to the CHEDA and CHEDA officials were directed to execute and deliver quit claim deeds for all real property owned by the HRA to the CHEDA. (e) quit claim deeds for all real property owned by the I-IRA were never executed and delivered to the CHEDA and, therefore, title to those properties remains in the HRA. (f) the City is authorized by Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.094, subdivision 1 to divide the economic development, redevelopment, and housing powers between CHEDA and the HRA. (g) the City Council has found and determined that the City's overall housing and redevelopment objectives will be best served if certain housing powers are allocated to the HRA and redevelopment and economic development powers are allocated to the EDA, as further described in this ordinance.
