4. Oral Petitions
Mr. Thomas Oh)enkamp, 1325 44th Avenue, brought an issue to the Council that is of
concern to him and many of his neighbors. He presented a letter to the Council bearing
the names of many of the residents of his neighborhood stating their displeasure
with the occupants of a home on 44½ Avenue. They have observed large numbers of
people coming and going and have been bothered by excessive vehicular noise and
loud music. A religious deprogramming program is operated out of this house,
· . Mr. Ohlenkamp feels some of the conduct observed by the
neighbors near the home is not tolerable and he has called the police. Tags have
been issued for disturbing the peace but he feels this is not a very effective
deterrent. The Police Chief advised hlm to always call the police when a dis-
turbance occurs. The City Manager advised the Council that he will meet with the
staff and have a report on this matter before the next Council meeting. He will also
send a copy of the report to Mr. Ohlenkamp.
5. Continuation of Public Hearing for Backlot Drainage at 1029 42½ Avenue
Graphs and pictures of the property in question were presented by the City Manager
who gave a detailed explanation of the drainage problem that has occurred. He gave
a brief recap of the proposed improvements, which are mostly a matter of cutting
and fil)ing with grading and sodding. He listed the costs for this project including
engineering and administrative costs totalling $4,356. Liability of the City,
of the contractor and the former owner were discussed. In view of the high costs
connected with this project, the Mayor had requested at the last meeting that other
a)ternatives be explored. He requested this information from the staff again at this
meeting. The staff referred to the other alternatives that they have investigated
relative to this project and suggest that their proposa) would be the most cost-
effective. The City Attorney restated what he had told the Council and the parties
involved before. The City bears no )iability. He had advised the owner of the
property, by letter, and verbally at the last meeting, that she should take action
against the contractor. The City Building Inspector has talked to the contractor,
inspected the property, and said the conditions of the building permit had been
met. He was advised by the contractor, in a phone conversation, that some additional
cutting was considered but permission by the adjoining lot owner was not granted.
Councilman Norberg asked the City Attorney if the City has any authority to bring
the contractor to these negotiations and was told it has none. The Mayor had hoped
there would have been a meeting set up with all parties involved to informally
discuss this matter by now. A spokesman for the owner of the property said the
matter is still dealing with conflicting stories from the contractor and the
neighbors. Recommendations by the staff were reviewed. Councilman Heintz expressed
Counc i 1 Meet i ng
page 2

a hope that all parties involved could get together with members of the staff to
settle the problem.
Motion by Norberg, second by Hentges to continue this hearing until the next
regular Council meeting of September 8th. Roll Call: All ayes
6 Resolutions and Ordinances
a. Second Reading of Ordinance # 926
Being an ordinance amending Ordinance # 853, City Code of 1977, conveying certain
real property to Brad H.Rettke and Elizabeth Rettke.
A portion of Rettke's house is situated on City property and in order to resolve their
problem they had offered to purchase an eight foot strip. The possibility of reducing
the eight foot strip to a five foot strip has been discussed at the last Council
meeting. Mr. Gordon Jenson, attorney for the Rettkes, told the Council that the
property had been sold to a Mr. Wolf. Mr. Wolf had expressed an interest ih buying
more of the adjoining lot. Mr. Jenson, although he was representing the Rettkes,
felt Mr. Wolf should secure representation and meet with the staff on his own behalf.
Mayor Nawrocki explained the history behind the suggestion for a five foot strip
being considered versus the orlginal request of an eight foot strip. Mr. Jenson had
two reasons for appearing before the Council on this matter, the first being that
the Rettkes would be agreeable to a five foot strip but they no longer are going to
live on the property. Secondly, he felt the new buyer of the parcel, Mr. Wolf, should
know exactly what is being proposed with the compromise proposal that has been
suggested. The Mayor pointed out that the Council isn't really committed to any one
proposal but wanted to be sure that all the alternatives for building on the remain-
ing properties were protected.
Motion by Norberg, second by Heintz to table for further consideration Ordinance #92
until the next regular meeting on September 8th. Roll Call: All ayes
b. First Reading of Ordinance # 930

The City Clerk presented a letter to the Council stating that his department has
completed a signature tabulation on the petition presented concerning this ordinance
and has certified this initiative petition according to the City Charter.
The Mayor expressed a personal opinion that he would prefer to see this matter
be decided by al1 of the City's residents by putting it on the general election
ballot in November. He holds this opinion because he has been contacted by
innumerable residents in the last year since this ordinance was passed who have
strong feelings on both sides. Also, a survey that was done on this issue reflects
these feelings. Councilman Logacz expressed a concern for the hardship cases that
would result if this ordinance is passed as it stands. The City Attorney said he
will look into an amendment procedure and report back to the Council at the next
meeting. Councilman Hentges and Councilman Heintz suggested the ordinance could be
amended at the time of its second reading on Monday, September 8th.
Motion by Heintz, second by Hentges that the second reading of Ordinance # 930
be held at a special meeting on September 11, 1980 at 7:30 P.M..

Communications
a. The City Attorney gave information on a letter received from the League of Minnesota
Cities. The letter contained comments on areas where deficits could be made up that
were due to the Governor's'cuts in state aids and tactics that could be employed
where a city is adversely affected by these cuts. The Mayor felt the City
Council Meeting
page 8
August 25
would not have to take any kind of action since it does not operate on a
dangerous edge of its budget, conservatively budgets, and has some reserves.
b. The Mayor spoke to a letter received from the League of Minnesota Cities dealing
with the matter of the proposed new office building for the State League.
At its last meeting the League voted to proceed with plans to build its own
building. The Mayor presented the forms of payment for this building that can be
made by member cities of the League,those being; a lump-sum payment, payments
to be made over a period of five years or payments to be made over a ten-year
span. A fourth option was to retire the debt through dues or an assessment to
each member. The Mayor felt that for the League to have its own building would be
a~vantageous considering how much it pays in rent for the building it is in now.
The City Manager was requested to get the assessment figure that would be due
from the City before the Council takes any action on this item.
Motion by Hentges, second by Norberg to tab)e this matter until the next regular
meeting pending more information from the City Manager on the dollar amount
of the assessment. Roll Call: All ayes

informational purposes.

located on 51st avenue to a resident whose home is presently on 41st avenue.
This home will be displaced by the Downtown Development Project and the owner
wishes to move it to this parcel on 5)st avenue. The property is presently
owned by the City. The HRA has looked at the house and finds it will be
homogeneous to the types of homes that already are in the area.
Motion by Hentges, second by Heintz to authorize the City Manager to prepare
an ordinance for the possible sale of the City property described before the
Council. This ordinance to be brought back to the Council at its next meeting
on September 8th.
Councilman Norberg asked if the Council can legally do this and was informed
by the City Attorney it has been an inherent power of )ocal government to do
this for years. Councilman Norberg felt it should be done by the bidding process.
The City Attorney explained it may be done by ordinance so this information
would be available to anyone that would be interested. The Mayor advised the
Council when the ordinance is presented at the next meeting it cou)d be decided
then if this issue has a legitimate public purpose.

three advisory board members to at&end the above seminar.
Motion by Hentges, second by Heintz to authorize the attendance of three Cable TV
'Advisory Committee members at the Telecommunications Conference and costs not to
exceed $)05. Councilman Norberg questioned the wisdom of attendance of these
members as he wondered if the information from this seminar would be all that
a~plicable. The Mayor felt if these members were willing to take two days of
their time to attend that the least the City could do is pay their expenses.
The City Manager is familiar with the content of the program to be presented
and the speakers invited to this seminar. He feels the quality of the program
will be beneficial for those attending.

Anoka County as an "urban county" The signifigance of this designation will make
available approximately $2,000,000 in community development block grants to Anoka
County and its subdivisions. Columbia Heights is being asked to indicate its position
with regard to Anoka County qualifying as an urban county.
Motion by Heintz, second by Hentges for the City of Columbia Heights to express its
acceptance of the "urban county" des[gnat[on of Anoka County. Considerable discussion

The negotiated contract for the employees of the Public Works Department states

Council followed as to which day would be designated as the eleventh day, with
consideration for the day after Thanksgiving or a 'floating holiday'
Motion by Norberg, second by Logacz that the eleventh paid holiday for employees
of the Public Works Department be the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Motion to amend by Heintz, second by Hentges to designate the eleventh paid holiday
as a 'floating holiday' subject to a policy developed by the City Manager and
subject to approval of the City Council.
Without a specific policy Councilman Norberg felt the accountability and the
bookkeeping for this item would be extremely difficult. Councilman Heintz feels
the choice of a specific day for this holiday, such as the day after Thanksgiving,
would close offices and services of the City that should be available if they are
needed by any of the residents. He feels the policy of service by the City would
be interrupted and he rejects that.

the neighborhood and trailers that are being parked on that street. He is following

Public Works Director said he would check it.
