Dated: October 27, 1997 Mayor Joseph SturdeVant Carole Blowers, Secretary Pro Tem EXIqlRIT A RESOLUTION # 97-58 The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing Tax Increment Financing District No. 2. ("Housing District No. 2") as required pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469-175, Subdivision 3 are as follows: Finding that Housing District No. 2 is a "housing district" as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174, Subdivision 11. Housing District No. 2 consists of 1 parcel. The development will consist of a senior rental apartment building whose residents will meet one of the following income limitations: At least 20% of the units will be occupied by persons with incomes at 50% or less of median gross income ($20,050 for households with 1 person or $22,900 for households with 2 people in 1997); At least 40% of the units will be occupied by persons with incomes at 60% or less of median gross income, ($24,060 for households with 1 person or $27,480 for households with 2 people in 1997); or At least 50% of the units will be occupied by persons with incomes at 80% or less of median gross income ($30,450 for households with 1 person or $34,800 for households with 2 people in 1997). The market value of non-assisted housing or commercial property will be less than 20 percent of the total fair market value of the planned improvements. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the Council, wouM not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the site that couM reasonably be expected to occur without the use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market value estimated to result from the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected tax increments for the marimum duration of the district permitted by the plan. MINUTES OF THE OCTOBER 27, 1997 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING PAGE 14 Due to the high cost of building affordable new housing in the City and the cost of financing the proposed public improvements, this project is feasible only through assistance, in part, from tax increment financing. A comparative analysis of estimated market values both with and without establishment of Housing Tax Increment Financing District No. 2 and the use of tax increments has been performed as described above. If'all development which is proposed to be assisted with tax increment were to occur in Housing District No. 2, the total increased market value would be up to $2,400,000. It is the Council's finding that no development with a market value of greater than $1,564,031 would occur without tax increment assistance in this district within 25 years. This finding is based upon evidence from general past experience with the high cost of acquisition, site improvements and public utilities in the general area of Housing District No. 2. o Go Finding that Housing District No. 2 conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as a whole. The Plan was reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 7, 1997. The Planning and Zoning Commission found that the Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City. Finding that Tax Increment Financing Plan for Housing District No. 2 will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound need~ of the City as a whole, for the development of the Central Business District Redevelopment Project by private enterprise. Through the implementation of the Plan, the City or Authority will provide an impetus for affordable senior residential development, desirable or necessary for increased population with the City. Explanation/discussion on this item was provided by Ken Anderson, Community Development Director.

This study, combined with some staff research will fulfill the requirements of the Housing Section of the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update. ANALYSIS Nancy Reeves applied for a grant from the Metropolitan Council on behalf of several cities to complete these individual housing studies including Columbia Heights, New Hope, Crystal and Robbinsdale. The grant portion received totals $7,540 to be divided between four cities in the amount of $1,885. The total project cost for each City is $4,000. Thus, the remaining portion of $2,115 must be funded by the City. This additional amount will be paid through Community Development 1997 Expert and Professional Fund ~201-42400-3050 where approximately $5,000 remains in the account. Back on July 21st the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the City's participation in this joint grant with a limit of $1,000 paid by Columbia Heights. This smaller amount was discussed at a time when more cities expected to participate. With additional cities the cost would decrease as mentioned on page 1 of the contract. Only four cities are included making the cost $4,000 for each city with an individual grant amount of $1,885. The City is also completing an update to all other areas of the Comprehensive Plan and consulting services for this are being sought through an RFP. No additional housing work will need to be completed by this second consultant. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award the contract for a Life Cycle Housing Study to Nancy Reeves of Nancy Reeves and Associates, based on the bid received, and furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Council to enter into an Agreement for the same.

Devel. Dept. /' APPROVAL iTE : ag. 0 a. DATE: No . 4, NO: Ahand~ned BACKGROUND Community Development Department staff have worked with the Police Department to make changes to the City Code pertaining to abandoned vehicle~., Section 7.205(3) of the City Code defines what an abandoned moto~'~"'~ut does not contain language about removing it and what the violation is if it is not removed. This type of language is necessary to assist the Police Department in dealing with abandoned vehicles effectively. ANALYSIS The new language regarding enforcement will read as follows as indicated in letter "C". The owner of an abandoned motor vehicle shall be given notice of violation by the City and will be given 15 days to take corrective action. Corrective action shall be defined as: An owner has taken corrective action when the vehicle is legally parked and licensed, mechanically operable, and is in compliance with all state requirements for an operable vehicle on public roads. In the event corrective action is not taken within fifteen (15) days from the notice of the violation, the City may take the vehicle into custody, impound it and sell it immediately at a public auction pursuant to M.S.A. Section 188B.08. Police Chief Tom Johnson has reviewed this ordinance amendment and feels it will allow for a more effective and immediate way to deal with abandoned vehicles. CONCLUSION RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the first reading of Ordinance ~__, being an ordinance amending Ordinance #853, City Code of 1977, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to schedule the second reading of Ordinance ~__, for November 24, 1997. COUNCIL ACTION: \bt\letter\council ORDINANCE NO. BEING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 853, CITY CODE OF 1977, AND PERTAINING TO PROHIBITED NON-MOVING VIOLATIONS. The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: 7.205 (3) No person with title or custody of a motor vehicle shall abandon such vehicle as defined herein, anywhere with the City. For purposes of this chapter, an "abandoned motor vehicle" shall consist of: (a) A motor vehicle which has remained in any one place on public property for a continuous period of 48 hours and lacks vital component parts that are essential to the mechanical functioning of the vehicle, or is otherwise in inoperable condition, or (b) A motor vehicle which has remained on private property for a continuous period of 48 hours without the consent of the person in control of such property.

Johnson, Chief of Polic6~-'~ I ' On Sale Liquor License and Sunday Liquor Sales License November 5, 1997 The Columbia Heights Police Department has completed a background investigation of Kenneth and Delores Steies, d.b.a. KJ's Cafe and Sports Bar, 4005 Central Avenue N.E., Columbia Heights, Minnesota. Mr. and Mrs. Steies have applied for a liquor license and a Sunday sales license. The department has checked the criminal history of Mr. and Mrs. Steles, their credit history, references, and with the law enforcement agencies in the jurisdictions where they have resided. We find nothing that would preclude them fi:om being issued a liquor license. We have also checked with the City of Blaine, where Mr. and Mrs. Steles currently run KJ's Bar and Grill. From the Blaine Police Department I was advised that on May 5, 1995, the department received a gambling complaint against KJ's Bar and Grill and Kenneth Steies fi:om the State Gambling Enforcement Division. This complaint dealt with illegal gambling machines, which were seized fi:om KJ's Bar and Grill The case never went to trial, and an out of court settlement was reached. Mr. Steles has no criminal record fi:om this incident. There were also two memos fi:om Blaine Police Department addressed to formed Chief Ron Nicholas. The first memo was from Detective Dan Szykuisk, dated November 12, 1993, in reference to sales of alcohol to minors. Detective Szykuisk accompan/ed a minor to several Blaine bars including KJ's and the minor was served at each location. A second memo fi:om Sergeant King, dated May 26, 1993, in which a minor was stopped for driving under the intluence and apparently had been drinking at KJ's prior to her arrest. It is the recommendation of the Police Department that the liquor license and Sunday sales license be issued to KJ Cafe and Sports Bar with the understanding that no unlicensed gambling is to take place on the premises and I.D.'s will be checked routinely to make sure no underage consumption is taking place on the premises. This approval would also be contingent on all required insurances being current and in place. TMJ:mld 97-486 BRC F;']t]NANCZAf...

No, 1353 Rezon~g DATE: Nov. 6, ~9~ NO: , The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the p-6ssible need to rezone a portion of 40th Avenue from Washington Street to Jackson Street from the current "LB", Limited Business, District zoning to "R-2", One and Two Family Residential zoning. As you are aware, the homes located on 40th Avenue between Central and University Avenue are non-conforming. During the October Planning and Zoning meeting we discussed four options to fix this non-conforming situation on 40th Avenue. These options include: Recommend for approval Ordinance ~1353, (enclosed in packet) which rezones 40th Avenue from business zoning to "R-2", One and Two Family Residential, between Washington Street and Jackson Street, including City Hall property. Change "LB", Limited Business, District to allow residences as a conforming or conditional use. 3. "Spot zone" businesses· 4. Do nothing. These four options were discussed at length. The main issue raised during discussion involves the businesses on 40th Avenue and the effect of a rezoning on them. If the rezoning option is implemented, it would place five existing business parcels into non-conforming status. However, in looking at each parcel individually, I found that four of these five businesses are non-conforming currently due to lot size and setbacks in the "LB", Limited Business District. Please refer to the following list: 1. 4002 Jefferson Street: Conforms to LB zoning. 666 N.E. 40th Avenue: Non-conforming, over property line in front (12 foot setback is required). e 700 N.E. 40th Avenue: Non-conforming, almost to property line (12 foot setback required.) 710 N.E. 40th Avenue: Non-conforming, up to property line, lot size too small (12 foot setback required, minimum 50 foot lot width required). Se 808 N.E. 40th Avenue: Non-conforming, only five feet off front property line and lot size too small (12 foot setback required, minimum 50 foot wide lot required). November 20, ~997 Page 2 of 4 In summary, we have five businesses who are currently zoned LB, but even with that, four are non-conforming due to lot size and setbacks. Thus, only one property, 4002 Jefferson Street, would become non-conforming, while the remaining businesses will stay non conforming in another zoning district. Finally, an individual who owns a triplex at 624 N.E. 40th Avenue expressed concerns over being zoned out. A multiple family dwelling is technically allowed in the "LB"" District but only if it conforms with the provisions of Ordinance Section 9.110(4) which is the lot and setback restrictions of the "R-4" portion of the Zoning Ordinance. This section requires a minimum lot area of at least 10,000 square feet. The property at 624 N.E. 40th Avenue measures 50 feet by 125 feet for a total of 6,250 square feet and land area. Thus, this property is non- conforming in the current "LB" District and would remain non-conforming in the "R-2" District. The surrounding land uses and amenities such as churches, schools and parks favor residential uses, not commercial uses. At the October meeting it was determined by the Commissioners to move forward with option #1 for rezoning the area to "R-2". This rezoning has been prepared as proposed Ordinance #1353 and contains the legal descriptions for each of the areas and corresponding changes. A map highlighting each area has been included for review. This rezoning will accomplish the following: 1. Thirty-one (31) homes would be brought into conformance. Immaculate Conception Church would be changed to "R-3" from a current "LB" District, as 90% of the church property is zoned "R-3". City Hall property would be changed from the current "R-3", Multiple Family Residential, to "RB", Retail Business, which is a more appropriate designation for the use. In this, two businesses at 604 and 608 N.E. 40th Avenue would remain business zoning as "RB". Existing businesses will become non-conforming or remain non-conforming in another zoning classification. I have received requests to pursue alternatives to keep the businesses from being zoned out. This could be done through spot zoning the businesses or allowing homes in the "LB" District. We have to remember that this is a sensitive issue that should not be made harshly. We do have other areas along Central and University Avenues where homes exist in business districts the same as on 40th Avenue. Staff has been questioned why the City is not looking at these areas in addition. I have explained that Staff has been approached by homeowners to look into the situation on 40th Avenue and that is why this discussion has taken place prior to the Comprehensive Plan Update. Please be aware that the current Comprehensive Plan does show this area as commercial (please see attached land use map). In the current Comprehensive Plan, locations of special interest are identified of which 40th Avenue is included. The explanation states that "the city has long zoned the corridor for business rather than housing because of the level of traffic on 40th Avenue. That plan is sound and the city should continue with it in order to achieve long-term evolution to more appropriate land uses". This eludes us to the fundamental issue as to Publio Hearing November 10, 1997 Page 3 of 4 what the Commission and City Council foresee the area as being used in the future. It is a fact that when looking at existing land uses and under utilization of some properties on Central and University that are zoned commercial and based on what the market can absorb in Columbia Heights it could be considered unlikely that commercial growth will occur on 40th Avenue in the foreseeable future. If this proposed ordinance or any version of it would amend the zoning, A comprehensive Plan Amendment would be required. This could be done separately from the full update if we proceed or completed at the time the update is prepared. I did talk to the Metropolitan Council and received an opinion on how they would perceive a Comprehensive Plan Amendment showing this change in zoning. The Metropolitan Council has been a supporter of redevelopment and encourages this through mixed use development. However, they do acknowledge not every area is appropriate for a mixed use type of development. It is very much dependent upon the market and what an area can hold. The Metropolitan Council also supports revitalization of residential areas and improvements made to it. With a quick review of the situation Met Council staff person felt the council would see the benefit of helping the majority of the people if they received such an amendment from the City. Several residents along 40th Avenue spoke in favor of the change because they are concerned if something happened to their home they could not rebuild. Business owners also spoke and one particular individual at 4002 Jefferson would like to seek other alternatives to the rezoning. The property is the only conforming business and will become non-conforming with this rezoning. This owner has questioned why not change the "LB" ordinance to allow homes to exist if they are damaged so that they can be rebuilt. This would affect all areas where "LB" zoning exists. We also have other commercial areas where housing exists which is an undesirable mix of uses, thus expanding this into the "LB" zones is not an effective way to fix this situation. Staff did discuss language changes in the "LB" ordinance as far as allowing existing homes to be a conforming use to make them an exemption to the nonconforming ordinance. If this is considered it would set a precedent for homes located in other commercial zoning districts. It could cause an inability to ever get homes removed from commercial zones. At the meeting we also discussed moving the boundary line for the proposed rezoning to Jefferson Street instead of Washington Street. This would remove 4002 Jefferson Street, a multiple family building and 3 homes from the rezoning. The Commission did not make a firm decision on this specific point. The Commissioners concern is in dealing with the situation in a manner that will help the majority of the people without affecting other areas of the City. They did acknowledge that with the growing amount of empty Public Hearing November 10, 1997 Page 4 o~ 4 commercial buildings along Central Avenue it is unlikely that additional commercial will expand along 40th Avenue. However, they are concerned over the existing business owners and suggests if they City Council feels its necessary that this issue be tabled until January/February so that it can be reviewed by the consultant who will be completing the Comprehensive Plan.

Thc Regional Blueprint cncouragcs regional communitics to explore and use a variety of innovative zoing ordinanccs or othcr local controls to implcm~nt thc comprchcnsivo plan. Innovativc local controls can include: Zoning and subdivision ordinances for cluster development, planned unit development and zero-lot-Iine housing development. Generally these ordinances allow construction of smaller, higher-density housing units such as townhouses, quad homes or condominiums on smaller lots. With cluster ordinances, a portion of thc residential development is set aside as common open space to be owned by a homeowners association. Thc open space may bc active recreational space or passive preservation of natural features. Planned unit development (PUD) ordinances are often used to allow a mix of housing types within a more flexible context - even allowing the preservation of some open land area. Such ordinances often address such issues as lot size, open space designation and management, architectural controls, and public facilities such as roads, streets and other infrastructure. Ordinances that allow mixed residential, commercial and industrial uses within certain areas, such as heavi~ used transportation corridors. Local ordinances may designate proportions of the various types of uses within a designated mixed-usc area: building height, building size, types of residential housing permitted, green space requirements, noise mitigation requirements, provisions for environmental issues associated with mixed-use development, public parking spaces, special traffic lanes and off-street parking requirements. Ordinances to protect natural features, such as bluffs, forests, or wetlands; setback buffer ordinances; and lake and pond shoreland setback requirements. Ordinances that prescribe building codes and housing maintenance codes addressing structural building components, electrical systems, heating and ventilation systems, plumbing systems, accessory structures, window space, accessibility by persons with disa~fies, and inspection programs to promote maintenance of existing residential, commercial and indusMal buildings.

Devel. Dept. ~ APPROVAL . Resolution No, 97~61 BY: Tina Goodroa~ BY: ~/~~7~ ITEM: Local Housing Incentives ~.~.; DATE: Oct. 29, 199~ NO: B~CKGROUND: Attached is the Resolution electing to continue participating in the local housing incentive account program under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. This resolution must be approved by November 15 of each year. This is the third year of the Livable Communities Act with the Metropolitan Council. During 1997, housing goals were set for each city and a housing action plan was required as part of participation. Columbia Heights exceeded life-cycle housing goals that have been established and our housing plan is in the review process. ANALYSIS: As part of the Act there are three grant programs available for application by any participating city. These funds can be used for life cycle housing efforts or to clean-up contaminated soils for economic development projects. These funds are on a competitive basis and the City has not yet submitted an application. However, staff has attended training sessions on the grants should a project arise in the near future. To make a application actual plans must be developed and ready for implementation to be most competitive. Results of the Minnesota Design Team visit can be an excellent resource for developing a competitive grant application to receive funds for design implementation. CONCLUSION: RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve Resolution electing to continue participating in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program Under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. ~ COUNCIL ACTION: \bt\letter\council CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS RESOLUTION 97 - 6!

Tag Penalty Schedule Res. 97~62 ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT POLICE BY: Thomas M. Johnso[l~l~ DATE: November 5, 1997" Background: APPROVAL: BY: DATE: On October 13, 1997, the City Council established Section 8 of the Columbia Heights Code, entitled "Administrative Offenses." As part of this ordinance, it stated that the Council would set penalties for these offenses by Resolution. Currently, County tags are issued for all parking violations including 2:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. parking. The fine for all parking violations in the County is $25. At times up to 250 of these tags have been issued for the same court date. When this happens and several citizens show up at court to contest the tag, the Anoka County judge hearing these cases will make a general announcement at the beginning of court that any person in court for a Columbia Heights parking ticket may pay a $10 fme at the Clerk's window and leave. At this time most of the violators pay their f'me and leave. With this in mind, I am asking that the administrative penalty for 2:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M. parking be set at $15, which seems to be a fair cost and yet will discourage people from ignoring the violation. Analysis/Conclusion: In order to start our administrative tag program, I request the City Council establish the penalty for "No Parking 2:00 A.M. to 6:00 A.M." November 1 to March 31 be set at $15.

This location is currently a pool hall which Break Time Billiards is purchasing and is required to have a Conditional Use permit and City license in the name of the new owner(s). Section 9.112(2) (n) of the Central Business District Section of the Zoning Ordinance allows, by Conditional Use Permit, pool/billiard halls. A site plan of the interior has been submitted which shows 22 pool tables, six video and pinball machines, seating on each side of the room and food/non-alcoholic beverage sales at the rear. This interior will remain basically unchanged by the new owner. Parking for this site will be provided either on the street or in the City ramp behind the building designed for use of the businesses in this block. Once this Conditional Use Permit is approved, the owner will be submitting all required applications for the City license for operation of a pool/billiard hall.

The amount budgeted for Sullivan Park is $6,000 from account #412-45200-5180. The amount budgeted for Prestemon Park is $15,000 from account #412-45200-5180. Over the past several years the city has purchased playground equipment in the Fall and installed it the following Spring. This system has worked well. Analysis/Conclusions: With all of the development that is planned in the Sullivan Park neighborhood in the near future, staff recommends that the money that was allocated for playground equipment replacement at Sullivan Park be combined with the money that was designated for replacement of playground equipment at Prestemon Park. The combined sum would be spent on replacement playground equipment for Prestemon Park. Sullivan Park playground replacement would be postponed until the surrounding area has been developed and we can determine what type of play structure would best serve that neighborhood. The picnic area at Sullivan also needs some major repairs. Council authorized staff to seek bids at its meeting of October 27th. Three quotations have been received:: Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc. Flanagan Sales, Inc. (Little Tikes Commercial Play systems) Value Recreation Inc. $20,650 $21,000 $25,9OO Flanagan Sales, Inc. has quoted equipment that has more substance and offers more activities than the other companies.

Cr Mr. Anderson reported the financial consulting firm has been working with staff and Anoka County officials to develop an updated cash flow analysis for each of the TIF districts in the City. Rusty Fifield, Ehlers and Associates, was present to review the status report that he handed out to the Commissioners and answered their questions. The report showed the cash flow by individual district as well as all districts combined. It was pointed out that the districts will be affected by the change in legislation this year which has revised the rates at which various property classifications are taxed. Industrial and conunercial tax rates have been reduced. This reduction will have impacts on the TIF proceeds generated for some of our districts. Therefore, the figures shown at this time are estimated. The information presented was as complete as possible but will be subject to change as the state completes its calculations for aid to school districts which is not known definitively at this time. Another report can be prepared in January which should provide more accurate figures for taxes payable in 1998. Mr. Fifield stated this cash flow analysis is done periodically to determine the amount of anticipated TIF revenues and the financial condition of each district. This is being provided for information purposes and may be helpful as the EDA considers the recommendation to establish a TIF district for the proposed senior housing project at St. Timothy's Lutheran Church. 2) Financing of Proposed Senior Housing Project at St. Timothy's Lutheran Church site - Presentation by: a. Mary Tjosvold, Mary T., Inc. b. Tom Torreson, CFO, Mary T., Inc. Mr. Torreson reported that Mary T., Inc. had heard from Glacier Finan- cial, th~ company working on the HUD financing. They do not have an answer yet whether financing will be guaranteed by HUD, but will be hearing something by the end of the week. EDA MINUTES Sept. 16, 1997 Page 4 of 7 Mr. Torreson stated their staff has also been working with Terry McNellis at Piper Jaffray and Mr. McNellis stated that if the HUD financing was not an option a non-rated bond issue could be looked at. The general terms of the non-rated bond issue would be similar to any bond financing with the following specific terms: Current effective interest rate on bonds would range from six and five-eighths to six and three quarters percent and the company would be required to provide a five year financial forecast of the project prepared by an independent accounting firm. Mr. McNellis stated it was easier to obtain bond financing for an existing project than it was for new construction. This is why the interest rate is projected to be up to one quarter percent higher than the existing bond market rate of 6.5%. Mr. Anderson added that the HUD financing referenced to by Mr. Torreson was not really financing, but a bond issue guarantee with a 40 year term. The financing would be tax-exempt and issued by Outreach Six Acres which is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. Mr. Anderson reported he had visited on the phone with Bruce Nedegaard, the contractor/ developer, and Mr. Nedegaard stated that Mary T., Inc. had drafted a Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of the property from St. Timothy's Lutheran Church. After the church reviewed the document they had numerous minor revisions. They also wanted to see in-depth elevation drawings as to the view of the proposed building from the church property. Mr. Nedegaard thinks it will be the end of October before the church will be ready to consider the request. That time frame still corresponds very closely with the original project time- table and allows enough time to review and analyze the financing before the Public Hearing at the City Council meeting of October 27. Staff stated that a request for a waiver of the 30 day notice to Anoka County Commissioner Kordiak needed to be requested and approved in order to follow the proposed schedule. MOTION by Ruettimann, second by Sturdevant, to recommend the City Council call for a public hearing on October 27, 1997 to consider the Modification of the Central Business District Redevelopment Project and the Establishment of Housing Tax Increment Financing District No. 2 (a housing district). All voted aye. MOTION CARRIED. Review Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Applica- tion Process. Tina Goodroad was present and explained the CDBG application process. She stated staff has begun work on the 1998 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application which is due sometime in January 1998. During this process staff and the City Council will determine programs and agencies that will be funded. Ms. Goodroad reported that over the past three years Columbia Heights. has administered the same or very similar CDBG programs. These include Public Service Agencies, Housing Rehabilitation, Neighborhood Revital- ization and Community Revitalization. If no program changes are made to the CDBG program by Anoka County we can expect to prepare a similar application. If changes are made to turn the process into a competitive one, the application may be very different and the City may have to alter what has been done in the past. · ED~ HINUTES Sept. 16, 1997 Page $ of ? Ms. Goodroad reviewed the Public Service Agencies that had previously submitted proposals for funding and the allocation they had received over the past three years. Detailed information concerning agencies funded and the amount allocated was available on the EDA Letter enclosed with the agenda packet. Staff will forward the proposals to the Human Services Commission for review and recommendation to the City Council as was done in past years. Ms. Goodroad reported that staff is aware of some changes that may take place at the County dealing with how CDBG funds are to be allocated. From the beginning, she said Anoka County has administered the CDBG program. Each year cities are provided an allocation amount available to them and they must make application for it. The larger, more developed cities in the County have consistently received funds while the smaller cities are either not included or one or two are added, at a much lower dollar amount each year. Anoka .County is the only county distributing funds this way and they have received a lot of pressure from HUD to change the process to a completely competitive one with no set allocation amounts. This issue will be discussed with the County Board and HRA Technical Advisory Committee in the next few months. Staff will follow this issue Closely and keep the EDA advised. If changes are made we may need to re-think our projects/programs in order to prepare a competitive application. Once a determination is made and adopted by the Anoka County Board, staff and the City Council can proceed with preparation of the application. Typically Columbia Heights has funded the same organizations for the Public Service Agencies over the past few years. However, City Council could have agencies submit bids for funding on a more competitive basis or direct staff to request proposals from currently funded agencies. She said the City Council may request that the Human Service Commission review the proposals and make the final selection. Commissioner Ruettimann inquired about funds that various cities have not used and if it was possible to apply for these unused monies. Staff will check on this situation. MOTION by Jolly, second by Dustin, to recommend the City Council forward all public service agency proposals for the 1998 CDBG Application for review and recommendations to be prepared by the Human Services Commission. All voted aye. MOTION CARRIED. 4) Agreement for Section S Professional Services. Staff reported that the EDA is in the process of a three month transi- tion period to "port-in" the Metro HRA Section 8 Certificates and Vouchers. The Board authorized staff to initiate this transition process which will result in more administrative revenues, yet maintain- ing a comparable work load for administration of the approximately 114 Certificates and Vouchers currently under the Metro HRA Program in Columbia Heights. This transition process will require staff to input relevant data into the computer. We have estimated that it will take approximately 40 hours of staff time. Several options for meeting this workload were discussed. Jennifer Stoopes-Mokamba has offered to provide her services during non work hours in accordance with her proposal dated September 11, 1997 as attached to the agenda packet. EDA MINUTES Sept. 16, 1997 Page 6 of ? Staff prepared an agreement that was included with the agenda packet providing for her to assist with this project to insure the transition occurs on a timely basis. She is requesting compensation at the rate of $14.50 per hour and work would be completed after regular work hours. MOTION by Jindra, second by Dustin, to award the Agreement for Profes- sional Services for Section 8 Program data entry to Jennifer Stoopes- Mokamba based on the proposal dated September !1, 1997; and furthermore, to authorize the President and Executive Director to enter into an Agreement for the same. All voted aye. MOTION CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS. A. Report of the Deputy Executive Director. Mr. Anderson passed out information and explained the 1997 CIAP Funding Approval for a $129,470 grant for Parkview Villa North. He requested Board approval of Resolution 97-10, Resolution Approving the CIAP Budget. He informed the Commissioners that certain other documents must be signed and a request submitted to HUD by the September 24, 1997 deadline.

Mr. Anderson also reported that he had met with representatives from Code Welding and Manufacturing. They are looking for a facility to lease in Columbia Heights. There is also a printing company looking for space in the Columbia Heights area to relocate from St. Paul. It is possible there is space available in the old H.B. Fuller building. Mr. Anderson gave the company's name and information to Scott Tankenoff, the purchaser of the H.B. Fuller building. Commissioner Peterson suggested staff keep in contact with NAPA as they are looking at relocating in this area. They are presently looking at a site in the Columbia Heights Mall location in the former Marshall's space. Report of the Executive Director. None. Committee/Other Reports. None. GENERAL EDA COMMUNICATIONS. Fair Housing/Equal Opportunity Review - Section 8 Program Gated September 10, 1997. Mr. Anderson reported that the full report of the Fair Housing/Equal Opportunity Review conducted by HUD officials was included in the agenda packet, with favorable remarks provided for Jennifer Stoopes-Mokamba and Valerie Hayden's assistance. M TES Sept. 16, 1997 Page ? of 7 CITIZEN FORUM TO ~DDRESS ED~ ON MATTERS NOT ON ~GEND~. Renie Sufka, resident at Parkview Villa, stated that she had three concerns.- One being why nothing had been done regarding the blacktop pathway around LaBelle Pond. It is in such poor condition that wheelchairs cannot get around on it. Secondly, she inquired if the antennas that were added to the building were causing 'problems, especially since the building has been stuck by lightning. Thirdly, she questioned if the intercom system in the building was ever going to be repaired. Ms. Sufka was assured that the City Park Department would be contacted to check the pathways at LaBelle Park and staff will bring a progress report to the next EDA meeting. Secondly, Thompson Lightning Services was hired to check the antennas on the roof of Parkview Villa and stated the antennas had nothing to do with the building being struck by lightning. Thirdly, staff reported MountainStar, a consulting firm, has been hired to prepare bid specifications for the fire alarm panel at Parkview Villa which is connected to the intercom system. Therefore, the problem is being addressed and it will just take time before it is completed.
