NOW, THEREFORE, THE COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES: Section 1. Pursuant to Minnesota Statute, the City Council hereby desires to change from an odd numbered year election to an even numbered year election pursuant to the transition schedule set forth in the law. Section 2. The Columbia Heights Charter Commission is hereby requested to present appropriate amendments to the Columbia Heights Charter so as to accomplish a transition to an even numbered year municipal election and to provide for the conduct of said election consistent with the uniform municipal election laws.

The City of Columbia Heights does not have a ward system. All Council Members are elected at large. In 1995, there will be two Council seats and the Mayor seat up for election. In addition, one Council Member has resigned. There are currently two years remaining on his seat. This vacancy will also be filled at the 1995 election. Based on this: 1. Q. For a transition schedule on the three seats, would there be a 3-year term, a 5-year term, and a remaining 2-year term from the vacant seat, or could the 2-year term also be adjusted to 3 or 5 years? A. The 2-year term would stay 2 years. Qo mo As the Mayor is a 2-year term, would that go to a 3-year term and then in 1998 go back to a 2-year term? Yes, it would go back to a 2-year term. + mo It' it is drawn by lot as to which seat is a 3-year term and which one is a 5-year term, and it is done before the election, do the incumbents in those seats have to run respectively for a 3- and 5-year term, or could both incumbents run for the 5-year term seat? The candidate must specify on filing which seat they are running for. It will show on the ballot the 3-year and the 5-year seat. We cannot draw by lot. ° Qo A° Can all three seats be elected at the election and then after the election is completed draw by lot as to which one is the 3-year seat, the 5-year seat, and the 2-year seat? No, see answer to #3. o Qo A° Rather than drawing by lot for the three Council Member seats, can the top vote getter be the 5-year seat, the next vote getter be: the 3-year seat, and the next vote getter be the 2-year seat? No, see answer to #3.

Further, there are a number of other changes in our election process that could be incorporated into the Charter change, including: Establishing the date of the primary election as the first Tuesday after the second Monday in September. Changing the candidate filing period. Establishing a phasing or transition schedule through 1997 calling for the lengthening or shortening of terms to three and five years respectively for City Council and three years for Mayor. The Charter Commission meets on January 19th. In the event the City Council passes the resolution, I will request that the City Attorney prepare a charter change for first reading consideration by the Commission. It may be advisable that the Charter Commission consider a second reading of the charter amendment prior to their regularly scheduled March meeting so as to keep the process moving along in a timely basis and to assure that final ordinance amendments on the part of the Council would be resolved prior to the first day of municipal election filings. Please find attached questions that were posed to the Secretary of State concerning transition schedule and a table outlining the even year election transition schedule for a five member council. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available for the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Adopt Resolution 94-89, Requesting the Charter Commission to Consider Amendment to the City Charter Providing for an Even Year Municipal Election. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: April 10, 1995 ¥ AGENDA SECTION: ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER' S NO: 6 CITY M~NAGER' S APPROVAL ITEM: SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 1299, BY: PATRICK HENTGES BY: /'~ REQUEST TO VACATE ALLEY BETWEEN 37TH DATE: .April 6, 1995 DA On May 31, 1994, Perry Wagamon, who owns the property at 3707 through 3741 3rd Street, brought in a letter requesting that the City vacate the concrete alley adjacent to his east property line and to the neighbor north of him. Wagamon Brothers and Ernest and Betty Paulson are the only owners of property along this alley located between 37th and 38th Avenues and 3rd Street to University Avenue. Attached are letters from the Police and Public Works Departments stating that they have no objections to closing the alley. However, the Fire Department has concerns that are addressed in the enclosed letter. To avoid an unkept area, because University Avenue right of way is on the East line of the alley, I would recommend that the Ordinance state that the 14 feet of vacated alley be granted to the property owners along the west line of the alley. The attached correspondence was directed to MNDOT regarding its interests in the alley R.O.W. To date, the City has not received a response. In light of the uncertainty, I suggest we table the matter for one more meeting. The Wagamon brothers are also in the process of applying for fence permit to enclose portions of their yards for the purpose of providing security for vehicles that are being serviced by their business. I emphasize that these vehicles in some cases are inoperable when they are brought in, and in other cases are repaired and remain in the storage yard until the owner makes arrangements to pay for his or her bill. However, they assured us that they do not impound or store cars for the purpose of salvaging parts. The Wagamons have indicated intentions to plant evergreens adjacent to the south and east boundaries of their properties, and screen their "block" storage area that is in front of their property. Because they are an existing business, and the type of vehicle storage is not of a permanent nature, the screening and fencing does not require the approval of the Planning Commission or the City Council. A first reading of this ordinance was held on March 13, 1995. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to continue the Public Hearing on Ordinance No. 1299, an Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 853 City Code of 1977, Vacating a Certain Alley Easement until the April 24, 1995, City Council meeting. COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 1299 BEING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 853 CITY CODE OF 1977, VACATING A CERTAIN ALLEY EASEMENT The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: Section 1: The City of Columbia Heights herewith vacates the public alley over, across, and under the following described property, to wit: The alley running North-South, adjacent on the east side to Lots 16, 17, 18, 1~, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30, Block 91, Columbia Heights Annex to Minneapolis, Columbia Heights, Anoka County, Minnesota, excepting and reserving the authority of any person, corporation or municipality owning or controlling electric or telephone poles and lines, gas and sewer lines, or water pipes, mains and hydrants, thereon or thereunder, to continue maintaining the same or to enter upon such way or portion thereof vacated to maintain, repair, replace, remove or otherwise attend thereto. Section 2: The fourteen (14) feet of vacated alley shall be added to the above described lots that are adjacent to the west line of the alley.

Ruenirnann CiD' Manager Patrick Hentges March 21, 1995 Phil Keen 1500 West County Road B2 Roseville, MN 55113 Dear Mr. Keen: The City of Columbia Heights is planning to vacate an alley adjacent to the west side of Highway 47 right of way, north of 37th Avenue. The east seven feet of the fourteen feet of alley would go back to the lots that are part of the highway right of way. The property owners along the west side of the alley have asked for the alley to be vacated and fenced because of vandalism to their property on a regular basis. The City would like to have the vacated alley kept clean of weeds and brush, but if it is fenced the MNDOT would not be able to maintain the seven feet on the west side of their ~?e~ fence. Therefore, the City would like to give the whole fourteen vacated alley to the property owner on the west. Enclosed is a copy of the Ordinance to vacate the alley, a copy of the of the area from the plat map and a proposed Quit Claim Deed. We would like MN Dot to consider signing the Quit Claim Deed for the east seven feet of the vacated alley adjacent to Highway 47 {Lots 1 thru 15, Block 91, Columbia Heights Annex to Minneapolis).

The study will also monitor the ouffalls to the lake after the major improvements to runoff treatment in conjunction with the reconstruction of Silver Lake Road, Apache Plaza, and Wexford Heights are in place. The City's project to improve the pond at the boat landing should be completed this year. It is anticipated that the study would start in 1996. The estimated hard cost for the study is $17,000. The Rice Creek Watershed District will provide $5,000 to the study if Columbia Heights, New Brighton, St. Anthony and the Silver Lake Homeowners Association will each provide $3,000. Ramsey County will provide the manpower to conduct the study and monitoring. Each entity has been requested to submit a resolution supporting the study and a commitment to providing their share of the funding. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve Resolution No. 95-21 , a resolution committing to a share of the funding for a diagnostic study of Silver Lake.

SPEED HUMP POLICY Staff reviewed previous meetings held and guidelines pertaining to speed humps and costs. Staff is concerned that unless there is an adopted policy regulating the use of speed humps, there will be numerous requests for their installation throughout the City. Costs are also a concern. The estimated cost of a speed hump pair is approximately $4,500. Annual maintenance cost would average $200 per installation. In order to provide funding for the installation of speed humps, staff is suggesting that property owners in petition area would be assessed all or a portion of the cost. This assessment could be based on the following: full assessment based on equal share per parcel, property owners assessed a percentage of the cost based on the percentage of traffic generated by local residents, or a 50- 50 split. Commission members expressed their concerns with speed humps. Commissioner Carlson indicated he felt residents who ask for a speed hump should be willing to pay for it. Commissioner Jolly stated that the City hasn't budgeted any money for speed humps. Commissioner Sturdevant indicated that with "no parking" on the west side of Johnson St., and possibly the asphalt pathway around the park, the City has adequately addressed the situation. He suggested that with these items in place, perhaps nothing further need be done. Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission April 3, 1995 Page 2 Commission members were in agreement with the technical criteria in the proposed policy guidelines for installation of speed humps. The assessment issue is a decision of the City Council. Johnson Traffic Control Commission members received a copy of the correspondence by Mr. Marshall on the speed study done by Mn/DOT. He commented that all the actions already taken will help to correct the problems on Johnson St. He would still like to see a stop sign added on Johnson Street at the intersection with Innsbruck Parkway. He indicated that a residential street is not the same as a residential street that abuts a park. Staff indicated that the intersection does not meet any of the warrants for stop sign installation. Leonard Olson indicated that speed monitoring equipment has become available and will be used on Johnson St. in the near future. City Council requested delay of any stop sign installation at its meeting of October 10, 1994, and authorized staff to request an engineering and traffic study on Johnson St. by Mn/DOT. Motion by Carlson, second by Goodman, to reaff'n-m the recommendation made to the City Council on October 10, 1994, that a stop sign be installed southbound on Johnson St. at Innsbmck Parkway West.

Winson /~, ~,-~ BY: NO. JOHNSON ST. AT INNSBRUCK PARKWAY W. ,~ DATE: 4/4/95 DATE: 7. Mr. William Marshall has requested a review of the traffic control at Johnson St. and Innsbruck Parkway West bordering Mathaire Park along with several other suggestions to stop excessive speed in that area. The Traffic Commission recommended that a stop sign be installed on Johnson St. and Innsbmck Parkway West. They also directed staff to do a study of that intersection. City Council requested delay of any stop sign installation at its meeting of October 10, 1994, and authorized staff to request an engineering and traffic study on Johnson St. by Mn/DOT. At the Traffic Commission of April 3, 1995, a recommendation was made to reaffirm to the City Council that a stop sign be installed southbound on Johnson St. at Innsbruck Parkway West. The Mn/DOT speed study was done in December of 1994. The study indicated that the maximum safe speed should remain at 30 MPH. The study further indicated that 25 MPH was a "comfortable" speed on the curves and recommended the installation of 25 MPH advisory signs with curve indication. Staff feels that the existing "Children At Play" advisory 20 MPH is adequate. Staff cannot recommend the stop sign installation on southbound Johnson at Innsbruck as the intersection does not meet accepted warrants for stop signs. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the installation of a stop sign on Johnson St. at Innsbruck Parkway West, based upon the recommendation of the Traffic Commission.

MN 55418 612 574-0484 612 951-7266 " Subject: Your letter of 12-12-94 to Ms. Young (Col. Hts. Asst. City Engineer) Dear Mr. Schadegg and Mr. Brov,'n: Mr. Mark Winson (Ci~~ Engineer of Columbia Heights) provided me with a copy of the above letter. I've discussed this subject with Ed Brown yesterday as well as my role concerning excessive speeds and overall pedestrian safety on Johnson St. which runs north/south along the east side of Mathaire Park in the City of Columbia Heights. I am the person who circulated the petition signed by local residents last September. I've taken it to our Parks Commission, Traffic Commission, local School Board, and City Council since then. Current Updated Status As of last week the above commissions have voted to: · Post "no-parking" signs on the park side of-Johnson to improve visibility. · Directed the City Engineer to prepare detailed plans Ibr an asphalt sidewalk alongside Mathaire Park and the School Dist. 13 property south to 49th Avenue (with School Board approval). This will serve to separate pedestrians (kids in infant strollers) from the street traffic. · Recommend all-way stop signs at Johnson and Innsbruck for action by the City Council. Action is expected at the next council meeting 4.-10-95. In addition, in Jan. 1995 Anoka County commissioners turned back Ctv. Road #104 to the city where it will be a "state aid" street. This affects Innsbruck Parkway an~l the short segment of .. Johnson from 49th Avenue to the comer of Johnson and Innsbruck Parkway. Issues Raised By Your Letter Three references in your letter I believe to be-in error (or misinterpreted). First, your radar speed sample attached to your letter shows that on 12-7-94 between 1:10 and 1:56 PM a total of 24 vehicles NB and SB (measured at a location 600 Ft. north of 49th Avenue on Johnson St.) none of which exceeded 33 MPH. As a direct consequence you conclude that 30 MPH "appears to be an appropriate maximum speed limit". Faced with such sketchy data you might have "guessed" at that conclusion but it seems unwarranted by a profe}sional'. As an engineer with 38 years experience, a 46 minute measurement interval dunng a well knoxvn "un-busy" time of da,,,' to me seems to be without merit as far as reaching any conclusions as to the volume of daily traffic and associated excess speeds. .Second, on p.2 in reference to a "school speed limit" you state that it is not warranted because "there is no school crosswalk and the street does not abut school property". Both statements are simpl3' not true. The property north of 49th Avenue to the southern edge of Mathaire Park is School District #13 property' (the volley'-ball area is used for school phy-ed programs and this abuts Johnson St.). The north/south school crossing at Johnson St. and 49th Ax'enue (an Anoka County road) is both marked on the street and has "School Patrol" monitored crossing guards mc~rning and afternoon. Johnson St. is designated by the schools as a walking route for those not bused. Some 3'ears back, I v, as an elected school board director (SD//13) and initiated the process which resulted in 49th Axenue (in front of the two schools) being designated and signed as a school zone shortly after St. Anthony school board members informed me of the then new MN statute. To mx' knowi'edge there is no difference under (MN statute "MS 169.14 Sub. SA") between traffic conditions relating to the schools on either Johnson St. or 49th Avenue. Third, althpugh you did not mention it in your letter I'm informed by Mark Winson that there is a newer MS relating to lowered speed limits on residential streets (such as Johnson in conjunction with the abutting cit3' park) providing that the street does not exceed a certain maximum length. Mr. Winson tells me that prior to the "turn back" by the count3,' of Ct},,'. #104 the city council could have used that MS to set a 25 MPH speed limit on Johnson St. However, after the "turn back" the street is now 0.03 mile (i.e., 158.4 feet) too long! I'm unaware of the specific statute he refers too but I fully xxould expect you to know of it. It seems to me that a variance for that 158 feet (given the proximity' to tx'~th schools and city' park) could be granted. At the time of your letter note that Johnson St. met the length requirement. Closing Comments As Ed Broxvn may recall, it was last September that I talked with him and was told that the city council could request a traffic study' by MN DOT. At the next council meeting I reported to the council that conversation and the result was the City Council Resolution No. 94-72 you refer to in ','our letter. My understanding of a formal MN DOT Traffic Study ~x'as that it would be both independent and untainted by local residents. Dunng Oct. 17 to Oct. 19, 1994 (Monday noon to Wednesday noon), the Public Works Dept. ran their own traffic speed measurements and I would have believed that 3'our speed measurements (on Dec. 12, 1994) would have some correlation. I don't knox',' why you didn't have access to their database. Regardless, I attach copies of their data base with a graphical analysis I've prepared to reach conclusions on the ADT at the Johnson St. and Innsbruck intersection. As one example you v,'ilt note that 45ck of drivers SB on Johnson St. exceeded the speed limit and 93ck ignored the 20 MPH caution signs. Some 20 ~ exceeded 35 MPH and 9% exceeded 45 MPH on a residential street past a heavily' used city park. City st'df measured SB counts on Johnson (by the warming house in Mathaire Park) of 458 xehicles. Daily NB counts at 491h Avenue v. as 634. Two-~vay counts on Innsbruck Pk-v. '~vas 649. These were ADT counts over a 48 hour interval. To recap, the overall est. two-way traffic at the north end of Johnson St. was 916 ADT. The Innsbruck Pkv. was 649. The south end of Johnson St. xx as 1,238 ADT. If you analyze those values you will see that from the 634 vehicles going NB at 49th Ave., 250.25 x'ehicles turned to the east on Innsbruck Pkx'. and 383.75 continued NB. Of the 458 going SB from the northern part of Johnson St., 74.2~ turned east onto Innsbruck Pky. Of the 324.5 ADT 2 vehicles going west on Innsbruck Pky., 250.25 turned south on Johnson St. to 49th. Ave. and 74.25 turned north on Johnson St. The net ADT entering the Johnson St. and Innsbruck Pk¥. intersection was 634 + 458 + 324.5 or 1,416.5 ADT vehicles. This intersection is directly adjacent to the playground equipment designed for pre-schcx)lers who are usually accompanied by parents or grand-parents. In past years I've observed one y'oungster on a bicycle knocked down in the middle of the Innsbruck/Johnson intersection. Also, a car impaled on the comer street sign due to drunkenness and a collision between a car and a lO-inch diameter tree at the same location next to the street. Both tree and car were totaled. Some 400 feet north (about where you measured traffic speeds) my oldest daughter's 'bike was knocked under the front wheels of a speeding car. She was throv~'n to the pavement and suffered only bruises. At about that same location, about 2 years ago a pupp3' and a young child were hit by cars. The puppy died. These reports are in my original petition. This Johnson/Innsbruck intersection is where I believe all-way stop signs should be placed. I agree with 3'our letter that another stop-sign at the north intersection with Lincoln Terrace is also needed. Frankl3', I think your independent study was less than complete. The focus should be on the needs of a communit3' to have sale residential streets abutting heavily used city parks - no___it on what's best for the drivers passing through. Hundreds of kids and adults from a large area use the hockey and skating nnks in winter and many' more are involved with recreational baseball and the wading pool in the summertime. The MN DOT Traffic Studies section should be sensitive to these concerns which affect all of us with young children (or grandchildren in my' case). I believe you should follow up the initial study (as infercd in 3'our letter) and provide some leadership in solving these problems. Perhaps in the ways I've suggested in my unsolicited comments labeled Issues #1, 2, and 3. Regardless, I can only trust that you take these remarks in a constructive manner.

All I met were concerned with the traffic safety issues especially those with kids using the park or going to school. This petition was later given to the City Council (who sent me to the Park Commission on Oct. 3). From the Park Commission I had to go before the Traffic Commission in November and then the Council again and also the School Board (in December). Issues that have surfaced are as follows: · 1. Construction of a side-walk alongside Mathaire Park to 49th Ave. · 2. Stop-signs at the intersections with Irmsbruck Pky. and Lincoln Terrace. · 3. Installation of a "Speed-Hump" opposite the kid's wading pool on Johnson. · 4.. No-parking (yellow curbs and signs) in front of the pre-school play area. The "speed-hump" referred to is not intended to be a "speed-bump" similar to the "bump" on Lincoln Terrace for the past several years. The "speed-hump" concept has been used by the Minneapolis Public Works Dept. during the past two years. The "hump" is more gently sloping, fiat on top, and signed. These "humps" were successful in reducing speeds to an average 19 MPH without posing problems for liabiliw or snow removal. The School Board agreed in principle to pay for a sidewalk alongside their property (the volleyball courts). The Traffic Commission recommended stop signs at Johnson & Innsbruck. The Council has not acted on the Stop Signs as yet but did authorize a State DOT study to see if the 30 MPH speed limit could be reduced. The State of MN came back with "NO". A meeting on March 6, 1995 (in the warming house at Mathaire Park) was called to hear from about 25-30 residents. The Traffic Commission agreed on posting "No Parking" on the west side of Johnson bordering the park. This has since been done leaving Issues 1-3 still under discussion. Traffic Southbound Past The Wading Pool Is Unsafe For Kids! The traffic study data from Oct '94 was obtained from the Public Works Dept. It shows an estimated 916 vehicles ADT (with 458 southbound past the wading pool on Johnson) and the data is summarized below by speed ranges per day on the average over a 48 hour time interval: Speed Ranges of Southbound 458 Vehicles ADT (Over 48 Hours) Under Over ZO Over 30 Over 35 Over 40 Over 45 30 ADT By Speed In Percent Under Over ZO Over 30 Over 35 Over 40 Over 45 3O [ 55 93 45 20 11 91 A graph of the overall speeds by average number of counts in various ranges is shown below: ADT By Speed In Percent lO0 9O 8O 70 6O 50 40 30 2O 10 0 Fig. 1: Overall percentage of ADT by speed ranges As shown above, 20% of the ADT southbound exceeds 35 MPH and 11% exceed 40 MPH!. Some 93% ignore the "20 MPH Caution" signs posted in front of the park. Only 7% honor this caution! Overall only 55% obey the city's 30 MPH speed limit in residential areas. Shown in Fig. 2 is the ADT by end-hour of the meter. The time entry "19" refers to the time between 6:00 and 7:00 PM for example. Total ADT By Hour South Bound 70 60 5O 40 30 2O 10 0 Ending Hour Fig. 2: ADT by end-hour southbound past wading pool 2 As seen the period 7:00 to 8:00 AM is the peak hour. Other peaks occur at 2:00 to 3:00 PM and 6:00 to 7:00 PM as (presumably) school is out and drivers return home at supper time. These periods in the summer are in daylight when many parents and their kids are in the park and exposed to this street traffic. Walkers to the schools are exposed as well. A Highland teacher at the Mathaire meeting stated that she had trouble taking her kids to the park (for ice-skating during school hours) as her class had to walk along Johnson to the park. The answer to this problem is to construct (with the aid of the school district) a safe sidewalk (from 49th to the wading pool) in order to separate the kids and their parents from the street traffic. The Speed Hump Issue And Who Pays For It Public Works Dept. as stated at the Mathaire meeting is required by the council to draft a "Policy" as to how the "Speed Hump" is to be funded (est. at $5,000.00). I.~.was inferred that the residents along Johnson be assessed for the majority, of the cost (as somehow this is seen as an "improvement" to their property.). When concerned residents alert the council, park and traffic commissions that a severe traffic problem exists, we are assessed to solve it because (as stated at the meeting) many areas in the city with traffic problems will want one also! This assumption is tantamount to asking the residents to pay (some $200 to $250 apiece was suggested) for curing a problem that the city. has created and/or allowed to continue! This is in my opinion unreasonable. The severe problem e,,dsts because the park draws kids and parents for recreation and the city (with police powers) is apparently either unwilling or unable to deal with the 45% of drivers who scoff at state speed laws! Remember that 93% scoff at the 20 MPH park caution signs! Granted, if the park did not exist the Council would have to examine this more closely. The Minneapolis Council and their Public Works Dept. have successfully pioneered "speed-humps" because they too had traffic problems alongside parks. Use Of Stop Signs And Enforceable 20MPH Limits Cities such as our neighbor Fridley have traditionally solved residential speed problems by posting stop-signs at many corners just to the North of our park. It was stated by the Public Works director at the Mathaire meeting that a new state law allowed cities to post 20 MPH along problem streets of a certain length. Prior to the county making Innsbruck a city street we could have used that new law. However, due to a distance requirement we are locked out because Johnson is now 0.03 mile too long (or 158 feet)! This should be challenged by at least a request to the MN DOT for an exception to the length requirement. The Traffic Commission has already recommended Stop-Signs at Innsbruck. The Council has delayed acting on it. The intersection with Lincoln Terrace should be included as Johnson intersects at right angles with Lincoln Terrace and visibility with northbound traffic is not good. Three Requests To The Parks Commission · 1. The Park and Recreation Commission is asked to include in their budget the 1995 construction of a sidewalk along the west side of Johnson bordering Mathaire Park. This sidewalk to be cleared of snow in winter in cooperation with the School District who already have agreed in principle to an extension along their property, to the intersection with 49th Avenue. · 2. The Park and Recreation Commission is asked to consider adoption by resolution of a policy that city. parks and recreation programs must consider the "Neighborhood Safety" aspects of operation of parks and programs to include traffic safety on abutting streets. This means that just as installation of unsafe playground equipment and/or operation of unsafe recreational hockey games not be approved so would unsafe traffic on abutting streets not be condoned. The commission in effect is asked to agree that what happens inside the park is as important as what 3 transpires on abutting streets for those walking to the park. This is the same responsibility that school districts have inside school buildings and for safe walkways to school buildings and bus transportation. · 3. The Park and Recreation Commission is asked (considering Item #o_) to recommend to the council that the incidence of traffic speeds exceeding 30 MPH be curtailed (from the 45% over 30 MPH level) by whatever means necessary, such as (a) Police radar arrests, (b) Stop-signs, (c) Speed Hump installation, or (d) Posting enforceable 20 MPH limits the entire street if then recommended by Public Works and the Police Chief. Such actions to take effect in 1995. Compliance to be moitored by quarterly traffic count studies on abutting streets to all parks. My Personal Preference A sidewalk along Mathaire from the wading pool south to 49th Avenue is most needed in my own opinion. The sight of parents and grandparents pushing baby strollers with one or more pre- schoolers in the street with cars, trucks, and buses speeding by within a close passing distance cannot and should not be allowed to continue! I've had two of my own kids struck by speeding cars on Johnson next to the park many years back. One was hospitalized unconscious with a concussion after being thrown over 20 feet by a car. So I have no illusions that Johnson is not a dangerous street for kids. Give them a chance bv providing a sidewalk! Closing Comment In recent days our city has been singled out for national attention (on Public Radio) with our city manager being hammered unfairly by a book author on the "decline of the first ring suburbs" to the "inner central city". Some of this may be true but "media piling on" (as Columbia Heights solves it's problems thai have built up over many years) does all of us a disservice. I hope that these requests can show that our city: (a) Does not ignore the safety issues that concern us, (b) Acts on resolution of problems, and (c) Does not simply "Kill the messenger bringing bad news" (as was done in ancient days) ! By this last comment I mean an attitude that "If you want this improvement you will pay for it yorself since every' resident will want one also and we can't afford it"! I suggest that this attitude has been over past years why our city has developed the housing problems that it must and is dealing with now but at a much greater expense than if dealt with earlier.

Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (612) 574-0484 4 NOSN~S I IIIIgl d Z © Z 20 Oct 1994 Columbia Heights Park and Recreation Commission cdo Mr. Mark Vinson - Public Works Director Dear Commission Members: I request that the subject of "Mathire Park traffic safety improvement" for pedestrians who currently walk along Johnson Street bordering the park be placed on the agenda of your next meeting. I propose that the following be approved by the Park and Recreation Commission: · A sidewalk from 49th Ave. north to the northern edge of Mathaire be constructed in order to provide a safe separation of traffic from children enroute to-and-from both the park play area and school. This project to be completed this year if possible. · The curbing along the west curb of Mathire (on Johnson St.) be painted yellow (no parking) in front of the wading pool area and most importantly in front of the pre- school playground equipment area. I attach a copy of the petition signed by 16 residents of Johnson St. and my immediate neighbors on Innsbruck Pky. Also attached is my previous recommendation to the Traffic Commission. The comments on the petition by nearby residents indicate the seriousness of this problem which has grown over time as the park has been improved for young children. In discussions with Supt. A1 Holt of District #13, I believe he supports this sidewalk construction project along school properly. He indicated that district snowplowing in winter months is possible as this would constitute a pathway leading to two schools for students who otherwise would be forced to the street. I suggest that you may wish to confirm this with him directly. Submitted by: Bill Marshall Member, Col. Hts. Science, Technology, and Energy Commission Research Engineer (Ret.) 7:00 P'q)3 Columbia Heights Traffic Commission Meeting - Oct 3, 1994 RECOMMENDATION The petition by local residents concerning improved traffic control along Johnson St. bordering Mathaire Park (already signed for 20 MPH ) could most likely be satisfied by the following specific actions: · 1. More frequent radar monitoring of motor vehicle speeds over 20 MPH. · 2. Installation of one stop-sign at the intersection with Innsbruck Pky. · 3. Installation of a "Speed-Hump" at the north end of Mathaire Park. · 4. Construction of a side-walk alongside Mathaire Park to 49th Ave. Rationale for these recommendations will be presented at the Traffic Commission meeting. The "speed-hump" referred to is ng~ intended to be a "speed-bump" similar to the "bump" on Lincoln Terrace for the past several years. The "speed-hump" concept was reported on Ch.4 (6PM news last Saturday) as having been used by the Minneapolis Public Works Dept. on a Pilot Project during the past two years). The "hump" is more gently sloping, flat on top, and signed. These "humps" were used in two locations and were successful in reducing speeds to an average 19 MPH without posing problems for liability or snow removal. Traffic criteria were developed for installation that are exactly the same as found alongside Mathaire Park. The City of Minneapolis was reported as intending to install several more "speed-humps" in the future given that locations selected met specific criteria. Submitted by: Bill Marshall Member, Col.

He indicated that the issue was to be discussed at the City Council meeting of Monday, October 24 and that a resolution would be presented regarding a traffic study by the Department of Transportation. I am ~u-iUng this letter to support such a study. Hopefully, such a study could then result m mocl~-ing the speed limit to 20 miles per hour which, I believe, would enhance safer pedestrian conditions, especially for children walking to Highland Elementary School. Stneerely, Alain G. Holt Superintendent AGH/kb An Equal Opportunity Employer PUBLIC HEARING MONDAY 7PM AT MATHAIRE PARK BUILDING To: My neighbors concerned with traffic control on Johnson Street alongside Mathaire Park From: Bill Marshall (1600 Innsbruck Parkxvay, 574-0484) Background Last October I carried a petition down the streets ncar Mathairc All I met were concerned with thc traffic safety issues especially those with kids using the park or going to school. A copy of that hand-written petition is on the back side of this letter. This petition was later given to the City Council (who sent me to the Park Commission on Oct 3). From the Park Commission I had to go before the Traffic Commission in November and then the Council again and also the School Board (in December). Thc School Board agrccd in principle to pay for the sidewalk alongside their property (the volleyball courts). The Traffic Commission recommended stop signs at Johnson & Innsbruck. At thcir second meeting on "no-parking" alongside the play area they apparently wanted to address all of the different requests in one package. The Council authorized a State DOT study to see if the 30 MPH speed limit could be reduced. The State of MN came back with "NO". As a result, the meeting on Monday (Mar 6, 1995) at 7PM (in the warming house at Mathire Park) has been called to hear the residents. Identified Solutions I Hope You Agree With! I've identified what I think are reasonable solutions to the problems that you indicated in the comments on the original petition (see flip side of this letter). These actions are as follows: · 1. Construction of a side-walk alongside Mathairc Park to 49th Ave. · 2. Stop-signs at the intersections with Innsbruck Pky. and Lincoln Terrace. · 3. Installation of a "Speed-Hump" oppositc the kid's wading pool on Johnson. · 4. No-parking (yellow curbs and signs) in front of the pre-school play area. The "speed-hump" referred to is not intended to be a "speed-bump" similar to the "bump" on Lincoln Terrace for the past several years. The "speed-hump" concept has been used by the Minneapolis Public Works Dept. during the past two years. The "hump" is more gently sloping, fiat on top, and signed. These "humps" were successful in reducing speeds to an average 19 MPH without posing problems for liability or snow removal. My Own Preference A sidewalk along Mathaire from the wading pool south to 49th Avenue is most needed in my own ()pinion. The sight of parents and grandparents pushing baby strollers with one or more pre- schoolers in the street with cars, trucks, and buses speeding by within a close passing distance cannot and should not be allowed to continue! Our street as man3, realize is a through street for many Fridley residents who enjoy stop-signs on almost every corner. The "No-parking" in front of the preschool play area is also needed and costs less that a gallon of yellow paint. I've had two of my own kids struck by speeding cars on Johnson many years back. One was hospitalized with a concussion after being thrown over 20 feet by a car. So I have no illusions that Johnson is a dangerous street for kids. Give them a chance by providing a sidewalk! Please attend the meeting and support thc solutions listed above if you agree. 00T-24-94 i?)i,i. ! P, 02 Columbia Heights Public Schools Independent Schc~!

Commissioner Paulson was not in attendance. Also present were Evelyn Nygaard (Building/Zoning Administrator), Donald Schneider (Director of Community Development), and Jim Hoeft (representing the City Attorney's office). Tina Goodroad was introduced to the Commissioners as the recently hired Zoning/Grant Administrator. Motion by Fowler, seconded by Peterson, to approve the minutes from the meeting of March 7, 1995 as presented in writing. Roll Call: All Ayes. NEW BUSINESS: Petitions, letters and requests. A. Site Plan Approval Case//9504-09 Mpls. Auto Works/U-Haul 660 N.E. 39th Avenue Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Brian Bona of Minneapolis Auto Works and the U- Haul Company for site plan approval to allow the rental of U-Haul vehicles on the paved area behind the building located at 660 N.E. 39th Avenue. She stated the property is zoned I-2 with the current use being major auto repair. She informed the Commission that two trucks and two trailers would be stored on the lot to start and would probably average four trucks and four trailers once the business is established. Mr. Bona and a representative from U-Haul were present at the meeting. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Fowler, to approve the site ,plan as presented provided the current license requirements are met. Roll Call: All Ayes. Bo Public Hearing Conditional Use Permit Case//9504-10 Philip R. Reiter 4038 Madison Street Columbia Heights, Mn. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES APRIL 4, 1995 PAGE 2 Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Reiter for a variance to increase the perimeter of the non-conforming two family structure at 4038 Madison by allowing a recently constructed rear porch to remain. She also informed the Commission that two bedrooms were also constructed, one on the first floor in the porch and one on the second floor in the front porch, without the proper approvals and permits. She directed the Commissions attention to Section 9.104(3)(j) of the Zoning Ordinance which states "alterations may be made to a building containing non-conforming residential units when the alteration will improve the liveability thereof, provided it will not increase the number of dwelling units nor the outside perimeter of the building". She stated that an inspection of the unlawful construction revealed substandard construction methods and design which result in making the structure hazardous. As the Building Inspector, Ms. Nygaard recommended denial of the variance request to allow the two porch bedrooms to remain because they would increase the demand on the existing plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems of the structure which are already inadequate. She felt the higher number of occupants that could occur in a three bedroom unit versus a two bedroom unit would increase the non-conformity of the building. She indicated that if the existing porch was removed, a porch addition built to Mn. State Building Codes by a State licensed contractor could be allowed. This would, however, be contingent upon all the code violations which exist on the property in addition to the porch bedrooms and rear porch being corrected. It was explained that the prior owner had done this work after discussions with City Staff regarding permit requirements and Housing Maintenance Code requirements. Mr. Reiter stated that he purchased the building as is and he had no involvement in any of the construction other than to hire an electrician to upgrade some of the electrical. Discussion was held regarding what the owner would have to correct in order to meet the City's requirements. Attorney Hoeft stated that because this property is a non-conforming structure, the addition could not be allowed to expand the living area of either unit. The rear porch must be removed. He indicated that a deck could be built at a later date with the appropriate approvals and permits. Commissioner Szurek felt that the property could not accommodate any additional increase in occupants from the two-family non-conforming status that exists as it appears there is not ample off-street parking area as well as the building structure being inadequate. It was her opinion that the bedroom areas should be returned to the original open porch form to disallow future use as bedroom areas. In order to build any type of structure or addition to the PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES APRIL 4, 1995 PAGE 3 building, Mr. Reider would have to apply for a Conditional Use Permit to increase the perimeter of the non-conforming structure before the construction is started. Council Representative Peterson stated that it appeared that the rear addition was not attached to the rest of the building with the exterior steps just leaning against the building. He expressed his irritation that someone would construct something without following rules and regulations and then allow something this inadequate and improperly constructed to remain endangering the safety and welfare of future tenants. Luanne Finch of 4040 Madison Street spoke on her behalf and to represent the neighbors from the area who were present. She asked why the City is even considering this request when the work was done without the required building permits. She was concerned about the additional negative impact this property has on the neighborhood in respect to property values, trash, and parking expressing the fact that the building is not an attractive structure. She indicated that the neighbors were disturbed and felt it unfair that some people take responsibility to apply for the necessary permits before they start a project and others are allowed to do the work and get the permits later. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Larson to deny the conditional use permit to allow the two porch bedrooms as they would increase the demand on the existing plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems of the structure which are already inadequate and the higher number of occupants that would inhabit a three bedroom unit would increase the non-conformity of the structure. The request to allow the rear "porch" addition to remain was also denied as it has been improperly constructed. The addition must be removed. Roll Call: All Ayes. Co Public Hearing Variance Case//9504-11 Salvation Army RE: 3933 Central Avenue Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of the Salvation Army for a variance to allow additional signage on the west side of the building at 3927 Central Avenue. The Salvation Army is proposing to lease a portion of the upper floor from Home Carpet. They will have a building frontage of 57 feet and a total of 7,980 square feet of tenant space allowing a total of 114 square feet of signage. She informed the Commission that the Salvation Army is requesting that the total signage allowed be increased from two times the building frontage to four times the frontage with a maximum of 150 square feet total wall signage instead of the 100 square feet currently allowed by the Sign Ordinance. She explained that this would give them adequate total PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES APRIL 4, 1995 PAGE 4 signage to include a pylon of 75 square feet and be able to utilize the 144 square foot existing Home Carpet wall sign. Ms. Nygaard indicated that Section 9.117A(9)(b)(ii) of the Sign Ordinance allows two pylon signs on this property of 75 square feet each as the requirements for building and lot area are met provided the two signs are located a minimum of 50 feet apart and twenty-five feet distant from the lot line of any adjacent parcels. Ms. Nygaard stated that the building has been sold to the existing tenants, Mady's Bowl and Home Carpet. Section 9. ! 17A(2) of the Sign Ordinance requires compliance upon sale of a property. Because the building is hardship was evident to inadequate for visibility. located 244 feet back from the front lot line, Ms. Nygaard felt a allow the variance as regular signage on the building would be Major Carr, representing the Salvation Army, was present to describe their proposed sign. He stated that they are going to use the current Home Carpet sign and repaint it with the Salvation Army sheild. They will also have the use of one of the two allowed pylon signs. Mr. Foss of Home Carpet stated their sign would be relocated to the south end of the building near where the Mady's Bowl sign is located. He stated that the signage will comply with the Sign Ordinance. Commissioner Szurek asked what Mr. Mady was proposing for signage for his business. Mr. Foss indicated that Mady's sign would not be changed. Motion by Larson, seconded by Fowler, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the variance to allow additional signage on the west side of the building located at 3919, 3927 and 3933 Central Avenue increasing the allowance from two times the front foot of the building to four times the front foot of the building with a maximum of 150 square feet of wall signage instead of the current allowance of 100 square feet of wall signage to give them adequate total signage to include a pylon sign of 75 square feet and be able to utilize the 144 square foot existing sign. The defined hardship is the 244 foot distance the building is located from Central Avenue. This approval is contingent upon all remaining signage on the site being brought into conformance with the Sign Ordinance. Roll Call: Ail Ayes. **THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE APRIL 10, 1995 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES APRIL 4, 1995 PAGE 5 Do Public Hearing CUP/Variance Case #9504-12 Northstar Restaurants, Inc. c/o Boston Market Restaurant RE; 5050 Central Avenue Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Vince Driessen, representing the Boston Market Restaurants, for site plan approval and a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of a Boston Market restaurant with a drive-up window and a commissary in the rear of the 5,200 square foot structure and a request for a variance to allow 37 square feet of additional signage which will consist of a pylon sign of 75 square feet and wall signage of 3' x 32' on the front of the building. She explained that the proposed structure would be a proto-type combining an eat-in, takeout operation with a commissary kitchen which will supply 10-15 other Boston Market restaurants in the metro area. There will be a drive-up window on the south side of the restaurant. The facility will employ approximately 35 people of which ten to twelve will be full-time employees. She stated that the facility will require 19 parking spaces for the restaurant and twelve spaces for the commissary kitchen. The site plan shows 43 parking spaces, two of which are the wider handicap accessible spaces. Ms. Nygaard explained that the variance for an additional 37 square feet of signage was requested due to the hardship of having two facilities in one building and having to build them back to back because of the unique configuration of the property. The lot consists of a rectangle with a dogleg to the south. In order to provide ample parking for the two facilities and a safe traffic pattern, the structure must be built with the long side running east to west. Since the signage allowance is figured on the frontage of the building, a hardship is created due to the configuration of the lot. She stated that the Fire Department and Engineering Department have reviewed and approved the site plan. Mr. Driessen was in attendance to answer the questions and respond to the concerns of the Commission. Motion by Larson, seconded by Fowler, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan to allow the construction of the proposed new building at 5050 Central Avenue and the approval of the 37 square foot sign variance due to the configuration of the lot. Roll Call: All Ayes. **THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE APRIL 10, 1995 CITY COUNCIL MEETING. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES APRIL 4, 1995 PAGE 6 STAFF REPORTS: Evelyn Nygaard presented a memo from Mark Winson, Public Works Director, pertaining to the Metropolitan Council's Interim strategy to reduce nonpoint pollution. In 1992, the Metropolitan Council adopted a series of policies to reduce nonpoint pollution to the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. However, the Metropolitan Council has very little enforcement power in mandating this policy on the individual communities other than to require that the strategy be incorporated in local comprehensive plans before the Council will approve the plan. Although the City of Columbia Heights is not in the process of having a comprehensive plan approved by the Metropolitan Council, the Metropolitan Council noted that the City had not yet adopted the Interim Strategy in their review of the Environmental Worksheet required of the City to obtain a permit for sediment removal at LaBelle Pond. The watershed management plans of both the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization include many of the policies being promoted by the Metropolitan Council. The City's own Water Resources Management Plan incorporates these same policies. Therefore, adopting the Interim Strategy to Reduce Nonpoint Source Pollution does not require anything more of the City than is already being done. Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to recommend that the City of Columbia Heights will apply National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards for the design of new storm water ponds and the MPCA's urban best management practices titled Water Quality_ in Urban Areas to the review of any proposed development occurring in the City to reduce nonpoint source pollutant loadings in storm water runoff. The City of Columbia Heights will incorporate these standards and requirements in its storm water management plan and land use controls to implement this policy. The City of Columbia Heights will work with the Department of Natural Resources to adopt the revised shoreland regulations consistent with the DNR's schedule or priorities. Roll Call: All Ayes. **THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE APRIL 10, 1995 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. Motion by Larson, seconded by Fowler, to adjourn the meeting at 8:15 p.m. Roll Call: All Ayes.

Use Permit/Variance ~ Northstar Restaurants, Inc. NO: Case #9504-12, 5050 Central Ave. DATE: April 6, 1995 The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of Northstar Restaurants, Inc. for site plan approval and a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction of a Boston Market Restaurant with a drive-up window and a commissary in the rear of the 5,200 square foot building. They are also requesting a variance to allow 37 square feet of additional signage which will consist of a pylon sign of 75 square feet and wall signage of 3'x 32' on the front of the building. Section 9.113(2) (b) of the Retail Business Section of the Zoning Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a restaurant, cafe, tea room, bar or prepared food outlets subject to Section 9.116(5) and Prepared Food Delivery Establishments as such establishments are defined in Section 9.103(63). The applicant is removing the existing structure and rebuilding this proposed new facility. The proposed structure would be a proto-type combining an eat-in, take- out operation with a commissary kitchen which will supply 10-15 other Boston Market restaurants in the metro area. About 40-50% of the business will be takeout. There will be a drive-up window on the south side of the restaurant. This new facility will employ 35 people, of which ten to twelve will be full-time employees. The facility will require 19 parking spaces for the restaurant and twelve spaces for the commissary kitchen. The site plan shows 43 parking spaces, two of which are handicap accessible spaces. Section 9.117A(10)c) (i) of the Retail Business and General Business Section of the Sign Ordinance states "Total signage shall not exceed two square feet for each front foot of building or structure. In the case of multiple occupancy, the wall surface for each tenant, user or owner shall include only the surface area on the exterior facade of the premises occupied by such tenant, user or owner" The variance for an additional 37 square feet of signage is requested due to the hardship of having two facilities in one building and having to build them back to back because of the unique configuration of the property. In order to provide ample parking for the two facilities and a safe traffic pattern, the structure must be built with the long side running east to west. Since signage allowance is figured on the frontage of the building, a hardship is created due to the configuration of the lot. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit to operate a restaurant at 5050 Central Avenue and a variance to allow additional signage. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit as presented to allow the operation of a restaurant at 5050 Central Avenue.

The Salvation Army requests that the total signage allowance be increased from two times the front foot of the building to four times the front of the building and a maximum of 150 square feet of wall signage be allowed instead of the current allowance of 100 square feet of wall signage. This would give them an adequate total signage for a pylon sign of 75 square feet and be able to utilize the 144 square foot existing Home Carpet wall sign. The Salvation Army is planning on using this existing sign by painting over it and redesigning the sign for their use. The building is located 244 feet from the front lot line. A hardship is found, due to the distance of the businesses being nearly a block back from Central Avenue and would indicate that this variance for signage be granted. Section 9.117A(9) (b) (ii) of the Sign Ordinance allows two pylon signs on this property of 75 square feet each because the requirements for lot area and building area are met. They must be located fifty feet apart and 25 feet distant from the lot line of any adjoining parcel. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommend approval of the variance for additional signage. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the request for a variance that would allow total signage to be increased from two times the front foot of the building to four times the front foot of the building and a maximum of 150 square feet of wall signage provided the existing pylon signage is brought into compliance with the Sign Ordinance.

WALL SIGN I.awrence CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: April 10, 1995 AGENDA SECTION: Communications ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: 7 Planning & Zoning APPROVAL ITEM: Metropolitan Council Interim BY: Tina Goodroa~ BY~--~I Strategy to Reduce Nonpoint Pollution~~' f ~ ~ ~ ~. ~0 -~ ~ DATE: April 6, 1995 NO: At their meeting of April 4, 1995, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed a memo from Mark Winson, Public Works Director, pertaining to the Metropolitan Council's interim strategy to reduce nonpoint pollution. In 1992, the Metropolitan Council adopted a series of policies to reduce nonpoint pollution to the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. However, the Metropolitan Council has very little enforcement power in mandating this policy on the individual communities other than to require that the strategy be incorporated in local comprehensive plans before the Council will approve the plan. Although the City of Columbia Heights is not in the process of having a comprehensive plan approved by the Metropolitan Council, the Metropolitan Council noted that the City had not yet adopted the Interim Strategy in their review of the Environmental Worksheet required of the City to obtain a permit for sediment removal at LaBelle Pond. The watershed management plans of both the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization include many of the policies being promoted by the Metropolitan Council. The City's own Water Resources Management Plan incorporates these same policies. Therefore, adopting the Interim Strategy to Reduce Nonpoint Source Pollution does not require anything more of the City than is already being done. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve that the City of Columbia Heights will apply National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards for the design of new storm water ponds and the MPCA's urban best management practices titled Water Quality in Urban Areas to the review of any proposed development occurring in the City to reduce nonpoint source pollutant loadings in storm water runoff. The City of Columbia Heights will incorporate these standards and requirements in its storm water management plan and land use controls to implement this policy. The City of Columbia Heights will work with the Department of Natural Resources to adopt the revised shoreland regulations consistent with the DNR's schedule of priorities. COUNCIL ACTION: CCAG495.N03 CITY OF ~'OLI, IMBIA HEIGHTS Public Works l~pm'tmcnt TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: muc ^. w Nso PUBLIC WO~S D~~~ ENO~R ~O~L~ ~~ ~ S~GY ~ ~DU~ NO~~ ~TJ.~ON ~R~ 3, 1~5 In 1992, the Metropolitan Council adopted a series of policies to reduce nonpoint pollution to the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers. Nonpoint pollution can be defined as the pollution that is contained in storm water runoff as opposed to "point" pollution which would be the discharge of pollutants from a single source (i.e. discharge of spilled oil dumped in a storm drain at a refinery). The idea behind adopting this policy is to reduce the amount of pollutants, especially phosphorus, from reaching the rivers by encouraging the use of properly designed storm water holding ponds and by educating the public on certain "Best Management Practices" for reducing erosion and phosphorus runoff. The policy recommends the use of holding pond designs developed by the National Urban Runoff Program (NURP). This pond design specifies certain ratios of volume and pond shape based on contributing area and potential phosphorus loading in order to maximize the amount of sediment and phosphorus removed from the storm water before discharge to the receiving waters. The policy also recommends the incorporation of "Best Management Practices" (BMP's) in the review and approval of any new developments. These include such items as silt fencing, vegetative ~ter strips and proper use of ferti'li:,ers. The Metropolitan Council has very little enforcement power in mandating this policy on the individual communities other than to require that the strategy be incorporated in local comprehensive plans before the Council will approve the plan. Although the City of Columbia Heights in not in the process of having a comprehensive plan approved by the Metropolitan Council, the Metropolitan Council noted that the City had not yet adopted the Interim Strategy in their review of the Environmental Worksheet required of the City obtain a permit for sediment removal at LaBelle Pond. Memorandum to Planning & Zoning Commission Page' 2 March 3, 1995 The watershed management plans of both the Rice Creek Watershed District and thc Six Cities Watershed Management Organization include the many of thc policies being promoted by thc Metropolitan Council. The City's own Water Resources Management Plan incorporates these same policies. Therefore adopting the Interim Strategy to Reduce Nonpoint Source Pollution does not require anything more of the City than is already being done. The recommended language for adopting the Interim Slrategy is: The City of Columbia Heights will apply National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards for the design of new storm water ponds and the MPCA's urban best management practices titled Water Quality in Urban Areas to the review of any proposed developmeni occurring in the city to reduce nonpoint source pollutant loadings in storm water runoff. The City of Columbia Heights will incorporate these standards and requirements in its storm water management plan and land use controls to implement this policy. The City of Columbia Heights will work with the Department of Natural Resources to adopt the revised shoreland regulations consistent with the DNR' s schedule of priorities. The last statement refers to a program that the DNR has undertaken to incorporate revised shoreland standards in the land use plans of municipalities statewide. It has been indicated to staff that Columbia Heights is low on the priority list for this program. This information is being supplied to the Planning & Zoning Commission for comment and ultimately for a recommendation to the City Council on adopting the Interim Strategy. I am available to answer any questions the Commission may have on this issue. MAW:mw 95-124 Attachment WATER QUAL1TY IMPLF_MENTATION STKA~GY SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT NONPOINT SOURCE POLLLrrION TO ALL METROPOLrI'AN WATERS Summnr~ of The Policy Issue In 1990 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency ClvI'PCA) agreed on a goal to reduce nonpoint source pollution in the Minn~ota River by 40 percent from pre-1980 levels. The two agencies have set 1996 as the target date to achieve this goal. To accomplish this goal, current land development and agricultural practices must be altered to restrict nonpoint source pollutants fi.om entering area water bodies. While the Minnesota Rix ur may be an acute case of water quality degradation due to nonpoint source pollution all water bodies in the seven county area are impacted to some degree by human activities in both urban and rural The Mississippi River, especially in the Spring Lake and Lake Pcpin area, is severally, impacted by ~cessivc algal growth. A major inter-state and federal study is currently being conducted to identify the causes of the excessive algal growth. However, it is known that nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus, from whatever source are the prime cause of excessive algal growth. Both the State of Wisconsin and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency are attempting to get the MPCA to impose phosphorus limits on the Metropolitan Plant in St. Paul as a means to reduce the algal grovah. If phosphorus limits are imposed on the Metropolitan Plant this could result in capital expenditures of $80 to 360 million. Since phosphorus is found in surface water runoff it may be more cost effective to control nonpoint sources of runoff and have a more beneficial impact on the river than by controlling point sources of phosphorus. To address the acute problems on the Minnesota River, the Council developed an interim strategy · for communities in the Minnesota River basin. This strategy incorporated basic water quality management practices that will improve the water quality of the area water bodies. During the public participation process in developing these strategies, it became clear that these same interim strategies were appropriate for all local governments in the seven county area. A consistent and equitable policy is established to apply these strategies metro-wide. The Problem The Metropolitan Council has documented an increase of nonpoint source pollution to area ;vater bodies. These added pollutants reduce the recreational value and accelerate the eutrophication of ar~a water bodies. The increase of nonpoint source pollutants to area water bodies can be traced to two primary sources: land development and agriculture practices. Land development or urbanization, generally increases both the volume of runoff as well as the concentration of pollutants in the runoff. This happens with the conversiOn of land to hard surfaces and by the destruction of wetlands. Detention ponds' or artificial depressions can help mitigate th, se impacts. The best designed ponds, however, will not reduce the increased volume of runoff following urbanization nor ~ill they totally remove the additional pollutants following urbanization. An increase in runoff volume, total phosphorus and other pollutants arc the results of urban development. 2 AGriculture is still thc predominant land usc in a large portion o.~ thc seven county arcs and *.he a_ maior contributor of nonpoi~,: source pollutants. Nonpo~nt source pollution from agriculture occur.. ~ a result of intensive land cultivation and husband~ practic.~ and show~ up in three basic fomu: soil erosion; a~culturc supplements such as nutrients, pesticides and herbicides; and animal waste produce. ~ach of these sources fill area water bodies smothcrinG aquatic life, change the aquatic environment by limiting li?ht penetration of thc water, and result in the transmL~ion of toxins to area w~icr bodies. Thc Tv'in Cities Metropolitan Area is fortunate to have an abundance of lakes and Hvcrs. These water bodies provide the area with recreational, aesthetic and educational benefits envied by other parts of the United States. Preservation of these water bodies and the associated wildlife habitat is a major component of thc Council's planning framework. Measures to preserve and enhance thc environment can bc found in all of thc Council's major ~tcm and policy plans. Policy 7 of thc MDIF states that the Metropolitan Council: supports thc maintenance of environmental quality throughout thc region and will support programs or strategics to maintain or improve thc natural environment (page 16). Reducing nonpoint source pollution to area water bodies has a number of positive outcomes. Reduced nonpoint source pollution has an overall positive effect on the environment, improves the water quality in lakes, wetlands and floodplains and allows for fishable and swimable water bodies. Water resource management has historically focused on point sources such as wastcwater treatment plants and industrial facilities. Efforts to reduce pollution from point sources has been effective. Nonpoint source pollution abatement is thc next challenge that must bc addressed to ensure that water bodies in this metropolitan area arc protected. Existing Legislative and Policy Structure For Addressing the Nonpoint Source Pollution Problem The Minnesota Legislature Two pieces of legislation have been passed in the las: decade that set a framework for addressing the nonpoint source pollution issue. However, it will take several years to put this framework in place and will require local governments to extensively revise their surface water management plans and activities. Watershed planning legislation In 1982 legislation was passed requiring Watersh~l Management Organizations (WMO) to prepare watershed plans that addressed water quality issues. Under this legislation each WMO is to prepare a plan that states objectives and policies for water quality and identifies alternatives for improving water quality and methods of implementation. These plans are to be reviewed by the Metropolitan Council 'in the same manner and with the same au~ority and effect as provided for the council's 'review of the comprehensive plans of local government units" (M~nr~esota Statutes, section 103B.231 subd. 8 (1990)). The Council is required to determine whether the watershed plan conforms with the management objectives and target pollution loads stated in the Council's water resources plan prepared pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 473.157. 3 Local government planning A~ a pan of the WMG planning process descn'bed under Minnesota Statutes, section 103B.201, each local government will be required to prepare a local water management plan, capital improvement program and official controls necessary to implement the watershed plan. As part of the local water management plan, the local government will need to define water quantity and quality protection methods ~dequate to meet performance standards established in the watershed plan. Local governments will also be reouired to amend their local comprehensive plans to reflect the contents o17 the watershed plan. Local governments will have two years to amend their comprehensive plans from the time the WMO planning process is complete. Under rules currently proposed by the Board ot7 Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), WMOs have until 1995 to complete their plans. The earliest local governments are required to revise their comprehensive plans is 1997. It could take several years beyond 1997 to implement local government plans. The second piece o.r legislation is Minnesota Statutes, section 473.157, that requires the Metropolitan Council to prepare a water resources plan that includes management objectives and target pollution loads for watersheds in the metropolitan area. From this plan WMOs will advise local governments of th-~ir target pollution loads. Local governments will revise their stormwater management plans to include implementation steps that assure the target pollution loads are met. The Metropolitan Council has set as a priority developing the target pollution loads for watersheds tributary to the Minnesota River. This is a priority because of the urgency to meet the EPA/MPCA reduction goal of 40 percent by 1996. Target pollution loads for Bevens, Carver, Chaska and Sand Creek watersheds will be developed by 199Z ?ollution loads for other watersheds in the Minnesota River Basin will be developed by mid-1993. The Council will also be actively pursuing the development of target pollution loads for all watersheds in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency In accordance with the Clean Water Act, Section 319, the 1VI~CA is charged with developing a state- wide strategy for addressing nonpoint pollution. This plan is a 17our year plan developed in 1990 and is periodically updated as new info:-mation becomes available. This strategy both targets and prioritizes problem areas and develops a management plan for addreSSing these problem areas. The management plan looks at both a voluntary and a regulatory approach to addressing problems. The state plan is also required to develop various approaches to funding problem solutions from federal state and local source. The Board o17 Water and Soil Resources The Board of Water and Soil Resources is the primary state agency respons~le for surface water plannhag and is the lead agency respons~le for carrying out many of the administrative aspects of the recently passed Wetland Conservation Act of 1991, better known as the 'no-net loss" legislation. The act provides landowners with three options for preserving or enhancing wetlands: the wetland preservation areas option; the permanent wetland preserves option; and the wetland establishment and restoration program. If a land use practice requires the ta'lfing of a protected wetland the legislation requires a 1:1 and a 2:1 mitigation of wetlands in rural and urban areas respectively. 4 Wetlands perform essential hydrologic and water quality functions such as lowering o.r flood pea-ks, providing interchange between surface water and groundwater, and filtering and absorb .g pollutants. Because of these functions, wetlands are critical for reducing nonpoint source pollution to area lakes and rivers. The Metropolitan Council la September, 1988 the Metropolitan Council adopted its Water t~ource.v Management Wastewater 2'reatment and Handling Policy Plan (hereafter the policy plan). Local governments were notified of the policy plan contents ia the April, 1989 systems statement and pursuant to the Metropolitan Land Planning Act, had nine mont~ to amend their comprehensive plans. The need to reduce nonpoint source pollution, to especially the Minnesota River Basin, through regulating land development is well documented in the Council's policy plan. However, because of the potential that nonpoint pollution may impact MWCC wastewater treatment plants effluent limits in the future the Council adopted Policy 1-1 of the Council's Wastewater Treatment and Handling Policy Plan which iT]treatment level~ required for wastewater treatment plants in thc metropolitan s},~tem should clearly recognize the need to control both point and nonpoint sources of pollution from within and outside the Metropolitan Area (p. 9). The Council has actively pursued the implementation of its policy to reduce nonpoint source pollution to area water bodies. The Council's palicy plan outlines the responsibilities for implementing policy 1-1. These include, but are not limited to: working with watershed management organizations (WMOs) and the MPCA on monitoring and managing nonpoint source pollution programs; and, evaluating the efforta of' WMOs and local governments to control nonpoint source pollution and their impact on Hver water quality and effects on treatment plant effluent limits. (p. 10) The Council has also used its authority under the Metropolitan Land Planning Act of 1976 to review and comment on comprehensive plan amendments and environmental reviews to implement its policy on reducing nonpoint source pollution. These comments have generally focused on the need to reduce nonpoiat source pollution and the possible tools that may be used to accomplish this task In addition to policy 1-1 of the Council's Watert~e.vourc~ Management Plan, Part 1, the Council has two other policies addressiag the environmental effects of nonpoiat source pollution and water quality. The Council's Water P,e~ourc~ Management Plan, Part 3 states in policy 3-4 that: The Council. through its numerous review and approval authorities, will preseree all protected and unprotected natural watercourses - including associated wetlands, channels, floodplains and shorelands - to enhance water quantity and quality and to preserve their ecological functions (page 3-26); Policy 3-6 of the same policy plan states: The CouncR, in conducting its project approval.~ and r,~iews, will protect the utility of thc region's water and related land resources and seek their restoration, where needed. Any action that threatens the viability of the water and related resource will be negatively reviewed (page 3-30). Proposed Interim Stratel~' Aa interim strateu is needed to address both the nonpoint source pollution issue and to implement the Council's policy 1-1 of the Wastewater Treatment and Handling Policy Plan, Pan l, policies 3-4 and 3-6 of the Council's Water_Re. sources Management Plan, Pan 3. The Council is committed to working with WMOs and local governments through the planning process outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 103B.201. The Council also recognizes its responsibility to prepare and adopt a water resources plan that includes management objectives and target pollution loads for watersheds in the metropolitan area pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 473.157. In order to prepare the plan the Council had to prioritize its work schedule. Since the Minnesota River has been identified as having an acute problem with nonpoint source pollution this area will be addressed first and form the framework for dealing with nonpoint source pollution on a metropolitan wide basis. It will take several years for the Council, WMOs and local governments to prepare and implement the above referenced plans. In the interim, steps should be taken that allows, local governments and 'NMOs to take immediate action to reduce the adverse impacts of nonpoint source pollution on area water bodies. As part of their planning efforts, local governments will need to adopt measures that implement nonpoint source pollution reduction strategies. Local governments will need to amend ex4sting Capital Improvement Plans and local regulations to ensure the f'mancing and long-term management and maintenanc~ of ponds and wetlands receiving stormwater runoff. The Metropolitan Council recognizes that implementation is an important issue for local government and for the long- term effectiveness of any effort to reduce nonpoint source pollution. This interim strateKy is a minimum that the Coundl will accept as part of any local government ccmprehensive plan. It should be recognized by local governments that more comprehensive revisions to stormwater plans may be required once the Council and WMOs complete their planning under Minnesota Statutes, section 103B.201 and 473.157 in order to meet water quality goals. Local governments'throughout the metropolitan area ~ust adopt design standards for n , nds that will reduce the contaminant loadings from surface water runoff. One set of design criteria that is wide.', accepted is from the National Urban Runoff Program 0qUtLP). Appendix A is attached and descn'bes NUILP designed pond performance standards. These criteria, or similar specifications which are equally effective, should b~ incorporated in the stormwater plan of every local government in the metropolitan area. At the present time, this policy does not direct the retrofitting of existing stormwater ponds. 6 Local governments in the metropolitan area must al~o include in their stormwater plans the MpCA% urban 'i~est manac-,m~,nt_ .~r;/ctic'es~,' titled Prote"..tlng' Water Quality" ' bi--Urban Areas or an equi:'..lent se, of ztaudards, i'i'h~e standards are to be u~ed all new or redeveloped land development These'local governments must also notify their residents of ways to implement "best management practices' and available resources, if additional information is needed. All local governments in the metropolitan area must adopt the Department of Natural Resource shoreland regulatio~ as found in the-Statewide Standards For Management Of Shoreland Areas as prescribed by the timeline in (Minnesota Regulations Parts 6120.2500 - 61203900) and consistent with the DNR's implementation strategy. Local governments should work with the DNR to determine the most effective way to implement the DN'R's shoreland regulations. All local governments in the metropolitan area_must adopt as part of their c. gmprehensive plans and official exmtrols the measures described in items 1 and 2 by Janua_~. Each local government should notify the affected Watershed Management Organizations of its intentions to comply with items 1 and 2. After ~'anuary 1, 1993, the Council may require modification of plan amendments that involve land use activities that would generate surface water runoff, unless the local government has adopted the interim measures described in items 1 through 3. The Council will not require a plan modification regarding nonpoint source pollution if a local government has adopted NURP standards and MPCA's "best management practices" by January 1, 1993 and is following the DhrR.'s shoreland regulation implementation strategy. The Metropolitan Council will continue to develop target pollution loads for all watersheds in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will advise its member citi~ of the urgent need to implement runoff and land management practices that improve the quality of direct and indirect runoff discharges to area water bodies. The Metropolitan Council and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will work with State of Minnesota agencies to reduce nonpoint source pollution to area water bodies in Greater Minnesota. The Metropolitan Counzil. and the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities will monitor the effectiveness of the above-mentioned interim steps to address the nonpoiat source pollution problem in the metropolitan area. 7 CITY COUNCIL LETYER Meeting of: 4/10/95 AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO. 9 PUBLIC WORKS/~]/ ATE~~ ITEM: AWARD OF ASPHALTIC MATERIAL BY: M.

Key officers were instrumental in the planning stages which included an officer poll, identifying local community organizations willing to donate to our department, and a thorough search of prices from various uniform dealers throughout the twin cities area. Conclusions were made, the navy blue color was approved, and the local VFW club agreed to donate the necessary funding in two parts. We received funding for long sleeve shirts late fall of 1994. Funding for the summer short sleeve shirts arrived in the early spring of 1995. Prices were solicited from several metropolitan uniform dealers such as Cy's, Aspen Mills, and on October 10, 1994, we received the lowest competitive bid of $32.00 each for long sleeve shirts and $29.50 each for short sleeve shirts from Uniforms Unlimited of Minneapolis. This price also included the sewing of the police patch on each sleeve, which all other vendors priced out separately. Based upon the purchase of four shirts for each of our 26 employees, the bid price totaled $3068.00. Because the price exceeded $3000.00, permission to purchase was required from the Council.

In 1988 the City traded the old municipal liquor store located on 40th and University as a partial payment towards acquiring the building at 500 38th Avenue N.E. As part of this trade, the City was to pay the 1989 property taxes on that building. The building became tax exempt for taxes payable in 1990; however, due to the manner in which the County tracked property owned by governmental units, the City was not billed for these taxes and they went unpaid. Recently, the County discovered this error along with the fact that several governmental entities owed outstanding property taxes.

TRESKA Dist. Ct. File No. C4-94-1853 STATE OF MINNESOTA ) ) SS. COUNTY OF ANOKA ) Edward M. Treska, being first duly sworn, deposes and states as follows: 1. That your affiant is the Division Manager of Property Records and Taxation for the County of Anoka, Minnesota. 2. That as a Division Manager I am responsible for overseeing the assessment and collection of ad valorem real estate taxes and special assessments. 3. That in accordance with Anoka County's policy on abatement of taxes, penalty and interest, I, along with the County Commissioner responsible for real estate, initially review all applications for abatement of taxes, penalty and interest for ad valorem real estate taxes and special assessments. Furthermore, I am familiar with both past and present practices of the County with regard to abatement of taxes, penalty and interest as it relates to the payment of ad valorem real estate taxes and special assessments. 4. Governmental Units own certain property located in the County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, which property is identified for ad valorem real estate tax purposes described in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (hereinafter referred to as the Property). 5. Because the taxes have not been paid, penalty and interest have accrued on the unpaid taxes in the amount shown in Exhibit A. 6. Because of the manner in which the County tracked property owned by Governmental Units in the past, the fact that the taxes had not been paid was not brought to the attention of the Governmental Units until recently. 7. The Governmental Units are willing to pay the taxes. However, both the Governmental Units and the County believe that in the interest of fairness, the Governmental Units should not be required to pay the penalty and interest that has accrued because the there was no official notification of the taxes and no subsequent notices were sent by the County to the Governmental Units. 8. In the past, the County's normal procedure in a case such as this would have been to proceed with an abatement of the penalty and interest. However, because of recent legislative changes, the County is precluded from considering abatements for other than the current year and/or the two prior years, without equitable relief from the court. See Minn. Stat. § 375.192, subd. 2 (1993). 9. That because the Governmental Units were not notified of the taxes due they should not be required to pay the penalty and interest that has accrued on the unpaid taxes and that the County should be required to accept the amount stated in the column "Outstanding Tax" in Exhibit A as full payment for taxes assessed against the property. Further your affiant saith not, except that this Affidavit is made for the purpose of requesting that the Court grant the requested relief in the attached Motion. Edward M. Tr~esk~ Subscribed and sworn to before me this£2 'tci day of March, 1995. -2- dk\tax\~nunicips.aff STATE OF MINNESOTA COUNTY OF ANOKA DISTRICT COURT TENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT In the Matter of the Proceedings to Enforce Payment of Taxes on Real Estate Remaining Delinquent the First Working Day in January 1974 through 1978, 1980 through 1991, and 1993 in Anoka County, Minnesota MEMORANDUM OF LAW Dist. Ct. File No. C4-94-1853 ANALYSIS It is not disputed that the various Governmental Units identified in Exhibit A owe the tax identified in the column "Outstanding Tax." It is also not disputed that because of the manner in which the County of Anoka (County) tracked property owned by Governmental Units in the past, the County did not give the Governmental Units notice of the taxes imposed on the property or that the taxes would accrue penalty and interest if not paid. Nevertheless, the County is required by law to assess penalty and interest on the unpaid taxes. The Governmental Units are willing to pay the Outstanding Taxes. However, because there was no official notification of the taxes, both the Governmental Units and the County believe that, in the interest of fairness, the Governmental Units should not be required to pay the penalty and interest that has accrued on the Outstanding Taxes. In the past the County could remedy a situation such as this by abating the accrued penalty and interest. However, recent legislation precludes the County from considering an abatement for other than the current year and/or prior two years. See Minn. Stat. § 375. 192, subd. 2 (1993). The County requests the Court to exercise its equitable powers to remedy this unjust situation. In Minnesota the district courts have original equity jurisdiction. See Swogger v. Taylor, 68 N.W.2d 376 (Minn. 1955). Equity characteristically possesses the flexibility and expansiveness to invent new remedies or modify old ones to meet the requirements of every case and to satisfy the needs of a progressive social condition. See 20 Dunnell Minn. Digest Equity Section 1.01. Furthermore, a court of equity may mold relief so as to work out full justice between parties in a practical manner. See 20 Dunnell Minn. Digest Equity Section 1.01. In the present case, the County requests that the Court exercise its equitable powers to mold a remedy to rectify the current situation on the property identified in Exhibit A, specifically that the Court order the Division Manager of Anoka County Property Records and Taxation to accept, as full payment of taxes on the property identified in Exhibit A, the amount specified in the column entitled "Outstanding Taxes."

On February 13, 1995, City Council authorized staff to seek bids for a portable sound system that could be used at the bandshell and other outdoor City events. Staff contacted three suppliers in order to obtain quotes on a system that would adequately serve the large events that occur at the bandshell, yet would have the capability to be moved to other locations for outdoor events such as Arbor Day, Heights Pride, etc. Two of the vendors, Blumberg Communications and EPA Audio Visual, indicated that they didn't feel they could provide such a system, but recommended installing a permanent system at the bandshell and purchasing a separate battery powered portable system for other events. MTS-Northwest Sound has provided a cost to install a single system that could be easily moved to other locations. The system would consist of a permanent mounting bracket on the bandshell for four quick disconnect speakers, the four speakers and the amplifier, mixer, equalizer, etc. mounted in a rack that can be moved. This system requires standard power. The racked equipment would be approximately 50 pounds. The quoted price for the equipment is $6,862.00 which includes the capability to use wireless mikes and two speaker studs for use at other locations. As this cost is within the budgeted $8,500, staff is recommending purchase of this equipment from MTS-Northwest. Delivery could be made before the Heights Pride Celebration. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award a conlxact for purchase and installation of an outdoor sound system to MTS-Northwest Sound of Minneapolis, Minnesota for the quoted price of $6,862.00, to be paid from 412-45200-5130 and; furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

NO:~.,~ . ~" ' There have recently been changes to the City Council, including the appointment of Rtta Petkoff and Councilmember Jolly's appointment to the Rice Creek Watershed District Committee. The need arises to fill positions where Councilmember Nawrocki was serving on various boards and commissions as a Council representative. Thus, a Councilmember needs to be appointed to the Cable Commission to replace Bruce Nawrocki. Councilmember Jolly was appointed to the Technical Advisory Committee for the Rice Creek Watershed District, and the appointment will conflict with his Human Services duties. In turn, it has been suggested that Mayor Sturdevant's citizen position on the Human Services Commission be converted to that of a Council Representative, thus freeing another term for a citizen appointment. In light of the fact that Mayor Sturdevant already serves on the Human Services Commission, it seems reasonable to relieve Councilmember Jolly as Council representative to the Human Services Commission. The Mayor and City Councilmembers will continue to remain active in the City's representation at various association meetings and events. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to appoint Rita Petkoff as Council Representative to the Cable Commission and Joseph Sturdevant as Council Representative to the Human Services Commission.

The intent of the RFP is to solicit developers, real estate agents, or individuals who are interested in constructing single family homes on the scattered site properties. City staff has attempted to develop all available zoning and construction information necessary for an individual to easily propose the project for each site. The only major building exceptions are the three properties that are listed as possessing severe soil conditions, and three other Taylor Street properties as having income restrictions in that they are only available to persons who have income levels not exceeding the first time home buyer program. The later three properties were acquired under the HOME program. City Staff is requesting that all proposals be returned by May 5, 1995, and a decision to award projects will be made by June 12, 1995. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Direct City Staff to Seek Proposals for the Purchase of Various City-Owned Lots. COUNCIL ACTION: NOTE: A RFP booklet will be submitted on Monday at the Counc;1 meeting.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER MEETING OF: APRIL 10r 1995 AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO.: 9 FINANCE APPROVAL ITEM: INSURANCE COVERAGE FROM BY: WILLIAM ELRITE 5/9/95-5/9/96 DATE: APRIL 3, 1995 In 1993, the City obtained formal quotes for the renewal of the City's property insurance, general liability, liquor liability, and police professional coverage. The request for insurance quotations was mailed to 18 different insurance agencies. Two of these, American Agency (the City's current agent) and Alexander & Alexander, became highly involved in seeking quotes on the City's insurance coverage. The only quotes that were received for the property and general liability coverage were from USF & G and the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust because other insurance companies were not writing municipal insurance in the State of Minnesota. This year American Agency obtained formal quotes from three companies for the City's insurance coverage: League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, USF & G, and St. Paul Companies. At the present time these are the only three insurance companies writing municipal general liability coverage in Minnesota. Attached is the summary sheet showing the cost of the three different proposals. St. Paul Companies provided the lowest cost proposal at a total cost of $143,584, which covers general liability, property damage, automobile liability and comprehensive, and liquor liability. Their proposal has a $250 deductible on sewer backup claims. In addition, St. Paul Companies is offering a public officials liability/errors and omissions policy with a $500,000 limit in coverage for a premium of $9,114, and the option of $1 million in coverage for a premium of $10,722, and both options have a $10,000 deductible. For several years the City has not carried public officials liability because the premium was in excess of $12,000. St. Paul Companies is also offering a 3-year term with no rate increases as long as the loss ratio is 30% or less. This will lock them into a 3-year commitment; however, the City can cancel the insurance coverage at the end of any year during the term. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with American Agency for insurance coverage from 5/9/95-5/9/98 as quoted in their proposal with St. Paul Companies for property, general liability, police professional liability, liquor liability, automobile liability and comprehensive, and other small coverages, at a premium of $143,584. OPTIONAL MOTION FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS LIABILITY COVERAGE: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with American Agency for insurance coverage from 5/9/95- 5/9/98 for public officials liability coverage with St. Paul Companies at an annual premium of $9,114.

The current location of the bus shelter has been a problem in terms of keeping visual contact with the arrival of the bus. Though the relocation of the Court has minimized the usage of the shelter, the relocation would prompt better visibility and as such, may prompt more public usage. The actual bus stop sign will remain in the approximate same location. If you do not have any thoughts to the contrary, City staff will direct the change. There will be some local share for concrete pad and electrical service, approximating $500. 3) ACCAP RENTAL OF HUD FORECLOSURES Attached please find information from ACCAP regarding the ongoing rental and operation of HUD foreclosed properties. ACCAP has requested that the Anoka County HRA take ownership of approximately ten single family homes throughout the county so that they can continue to be operated as rental units on a tax-exempt basis. It is my understanding that ACCAP originally gained control of these HUD foreclosed properties through a program specifically designed to provide transitional housing opportunities to non-profit housing agencies. ACCAP can now permanently finance the public ownership; however, ongoing rental will be difficult if the exempt status is not maintained. Please note on page 4 of the ACCAP proforma the sources of financing to their project. These financing sources are some of the same opportunities that would be available to the City if we were to pursue the upgrade of other sub-standard, affordable rental units throughout the community. 4) PROPERTY TAX RAISE PROPOSAL Please find information concerning the potential reality and DFL sentiment relevant to passage of legislation involving the property tax freeze for local jurisdictions. It appears that the Senate DFL leadership is strongly behind such a proposal, however there appears to be less support from the House side and little support of the Republicans. With or without a property tax freeze or strict levy limitation legislation, I do not expect the City to receive any significant increase in fiscal disparities, LGA, HACA, or other intergovernmental financial aid. In the preparation of the 1996 budget expenditures, I have cautioned City staff to be sensitive to the limited tax resources and bleak outlook for any new revenue sources from the State. 5) REPORTS AND CORRESPONDENCE Attached please find reports, correspondence, and documents that may be of interest to the City Council: 1994 Residential Real Estate Activity Report as submitted by Anoka County Association of Realtors Community Economic Development Report as submitted by Northern States Power 1994 year end report, as submitted by HealthSpan Transportation Services 6) CONSENT DECREE - HOLLMAN VS. CISNEROS, MINORITY/POVERTY CONCENTRATION Enclosed please find the Consent Decree outlining the terms of settlement for the Minority/Poverty Concentration lawsuit. As outlined, HUD will provide Minneapolis with 900 new Section 8 certificates/vouchers and other replacement opportunities to be dispersed throughout the metropolitan area. The sole exception is that these new units cannot be located in minority/poverty concentration areas. Columbia Heights will have one census tract that will be designated as a minority concentration area according to the definition outlined in the April 3rd HUD correspondence. That area is essentially in the south-central part of the City, bounded by Reservoir, 44th Avenue, and Quincy Street. In any event, I expect that the implications of the lawsuit were a result in further concentrations of lower income populations to our community as a result of our affordable housing stock opportunities and close proximity to the inner city. 7) HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTIONS Attached please find a brochure regarding the dates for the household hazardous waste collections and product exchange. This year, the drop off point will be Anoka County Fairgrounds on April 8, May 13, and June 12, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Additional dates throughout the summer will be announced later. 8) TORNADO AWARENESS WEEK DRILL Be advised that the City will have two mock tornado watch/warnings during the week of April 24th-30th, 1995. 9) RECREATION DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT Be advised that Randy Quale, now a Recreation Supervisor with the City of Apple Valley, has accepted the job of Recreation Director for Columbia Heights. Randy's first day of work will be May 1st. I was extremely surprised with the overall quality of the fifty-five applicants, and the exceptional capabilities of the five finalists. I will introduce Randy to the full Council after he is aboard. 10) MAY 1ST CITY HALL/COUNCIL CHAMBERS APPRECIATION RECEPTION On May 1st, I expect the City Hall and Council Chambers improvements to be fully completed. I have arranged a 5:30 p.m. appreciation reception for employees and contractors who worked on the project. I request that the Council consider arranging your schedules to attend the function. 11) HOUSING/REDEVELOPMENT PHASE II EFFORTS Attached please find a document that outlines the City's planning efforts for the development of a Comprehensive Housing Program to be implemented on a city-wide basis. The planning efforts will include an inventory of the housing conditions in the City, and the development of a short and long term strategy to improve the ongoing development of Columbia Heights' housing stock. It is hoped that the plan would be fully completed by June, 1995, at which time I expect the Council to review the document and perhaps conduct a public forum to educate the citizens on the results of the inventory and the proposed strategy implementation schedule. 12) 1995 PROPERTY TAX DATA Attached please find a table profiling the property tax value and tax capacity of the City of Columbia Heights. The table provides an excellent summary profile of the characteristics of the City's tax base. I suggest that you closely familiarize yourself with the statistics outlined therein, as information is extremely important as the City is faced with various taxing, development, and tax base diversity issues. 13) STATUS OF VARIOUS PUBLIC WORKS PROPOSED PROJECTS Stinson Boulevard Signals - The City is awaiting the change in MSA funding criteria that may allow both St. Anthony and Columbia Heights to use state aid funding on all legs of the intersection. LaBelle East Bank Erosion Project - To date, City Staff received approximately six of the fifteen easements for the project, and will be making an effort to secure the balance this month. In the next 30 days, City Staff intends to formally discuss the status of the project at a City Council work session. F. G. H. Mill Street Reconstruction - City Staff will be conducting an informational meeting with the affected property owners on April 12, 1995, at 7 P.M. Staff is waiting for costs on underground electrical and lighting from NSP, and will file a formal status report with the City Council prior to authorization for bidding. 44th Avenue Sidewalk - City Staff will be conducting an informational meeting on the project on April 12, 1995, at 8 P.M. Additional right of way will have to be obtained on the west portion of the project. The acquisitions are expected to slow down the starting date, but nevertheless, the project will be completed in 1995. Stinson Boulevard Rubberized Crossing - The railroad strike delayed the installation of the crossing in 1994. City Staff expects Soo Line personnel will install the crossing by early summer, 1995. LaBelle Pond improvements - City Staff will provide a status report on the project at a work session to be conducted within the next thirty days. Rail Trackage Adjacent to Huset Park - City Staff will continue to work with the railroad to remove trackage from the point west of the JPM south parking lot entrance. Street Rehabilitation Education meetings - Public Works Director Winson will be arranging seven educational meetings that will be conducted within various city improvement zones throughout July, August, September, and October. It is hoped that the program can be finalized in November, so that early winter pre-planning can get underway for the f'n:st improvement zone to be addressed in 1996. Abandonment of TCAAP Sewer Lines - Some traffic disruption will occur along 37th Avenue as the Army contracts to have the old sewer lines filled with concrete and sand. The Columbia Heights' portion of the line runs along 37th Avenue from Stinson to Johnson. 14) GOAL SETTING MEETING I request that the City Council make plans for a goal setting meeting to be conducted in the first week of May. Ideally, the meeting would start in late afternoon and work through dinner. The timing of the meeting is important in that the May 19th Chamber Town Meeting at JPM in conjunction with Heights Pride will center around a state of the City, School, and County presentations. Also, if the Council is serious about a Neighborhood Planning Program, it is important that the City have in place a strategic vision for the future. Further, the 1996 budget document will be presented with performance based goals in each budget activity. The "issue discussion paper" as developed by City Staff will serve as an outline for the goal setting discussion. The meeting may also be a good opportunity to conduct the evaluation of the City Manager. Upon completion of the meeting, Staff will prepare a strategic planning document to be available for the public. Please advise me as to your schedules that week. cb 95/32 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS DATE: TO: FROM: RE: APRIL 3, 1995 PATRICK HENTGES CITY MANAGER WImAM EI. RITE FINANCE DIRECq~OR OPERATIONAL REPORT MARCH 1995 ACCOMPLISHMENTS: 1994 Audit: The 1994 audit is in the final stages of completion. Staff has put together the final draft of the comprehensive annual financial report. This draft is being reviewed by the auditors and is being distributed to the City Council as a preliminary report. As soon as the auditors are done with the final review, the final report will be distributed to the Council and a meeting scheduled between the Council and the auditors. MIS Coordinator Position: Ed O'Donnell started in the position of MIS Coordinator on March 27, 1995. Ed is a long-time Columbia Heights resident with a degree from St. Cloud State in computer science. While attending college he worked part-time at the City's municipal liquor operation. Ed has very strong knowledge of computers, software and problem diagnostics. I am certain Ed will be a major enhancement to the City's computer operations, greatly improving efficiency and eliminating some of the problems and time delays that have been encountered in the past. DEPARTMENTAL GOALS: 1996 Budget Process: The budget calendar for the 1996 budget preparation process has been completed. The first meeting with department and division heads is scheduled for April 4th. With the major revision to the budget document last year, there are very few changes being made this year. Some slight improvements and enhancements to turn the document into an even better management tool will be included.

Olson, Acting Police Chief Operational Report, March, 1995 April 6, 1995 I. Events/Accomplishments mo The week of March 6 was the county police officers spring qualification shoot. This shoot. This shoot was held at the Anoka City Police Department's indoor range and is one of tour mandatory county wide training sessions. Bo I was invited to attend the Central Middle School PTA meeting of March 7. I spoke to concerns of juvenile smoking as well as several other juvenile issues. With prior knowledge that the meeting topics dealt with juvenile crime, I took the liberty of also inviting our Anoka County Assistant County Attorney Robb Scott. Robb is the juvenile prosecution county expert. He fielded questions as well as providing some interesting insights. The pastor of St. Matthews Church invited me to their Lent soup supper on March 8. For the soup supper, I provided a crime and crime prevention talk to the church membership present. The time spent was very productive. II. Projects/Goals A. The police department survived the much needed painting and carpeting during March and the temporary mess was eventually overcome. The area looks much better. Bo March marked the beginning of the long awaited C.O.P. training. All of the presently designated C.O.P. officers attended part 1 of 5 on March 17 at the Anoka Police Training Institute. The training was excellent and everyone is looking forward to the April 21st and future sessions. Co I completed the nine week management course put on by the Dynamic Leadership Training Center in New Hope. The course was excellent and I highly recommend other City staff to attend such training. Mayor and City Council Page 2 April 6, 1995 III. Issues/Problems mo The March month crime statistics report comparing March 1994 to March 1995 shows offenses down in the business sector, up slightly in Sheffield, as well as Hilltop, and down overall for the remainder of the community. The Mathaire Park neighborhood has been the site of stepped up police radar patrol and with the recent receipt of our "Your Speed Is" device, stationary use of it will be visible in the near future. The neighborhood has been concerned with speeding motorists going by the park. 95-086 City of Columbia Heights Recreation Department TO: FROM: RE: DATE: Patrick Hentges, City Manager Karen Moellm,~cting Recreation Director Operational Report, March 1-31, 1995 April 3, 1995 A.

Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421 RE: Request for Assistance/Affordable Housing Dear Mr. Hentges: The Anoka County Community Action Program has undertaken a county-wide effort to acquire, renovate, and manage a wide range of affordable rental housing units. A major portion of this inventory has been made up of HUD foreclosed properties which were offered under lease to ACCAP. We are now at a point with these properties that our Agency must put in place permanent financing if we wish to retain these housing resources on a long term basis. You will note from the attached proforma, that ACCAP must raise most of the equity to complete this transaction and that the rents that can be collected on these units will not cover property taxes. I am asking that your community work with ACCAP and the Anoka County HRA to put in place public ownership of these units so that the exempt status and continued operation of these properties can be maintained. All of the units included in this proposal with the exception of 1/2 of the duplex in Andover, are currently exempt for payable 1995 taxes. We will be requesting financing from MHFA to complete this project and we project a twenty eight percent (28%) loan to value ratio. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this rec~uest in more detail. Should you wish vou may also contact Tim Yantos, Deputy County Administrator. Thank you for your interest in this matter. Your prompt response to our request would be most appreciated.

Carlson, IGR Director Property Tax Freeze Proposal for 1996 On Thursday, March 30, the Senate DFL leadership introduced S.F. 1570 which would freeze property taxes for all local units of government in 1996. The bill's authors are Majority Leader Roger Moe (DFL-Erskine), Tax Committee Chair Doug Johnson (DFL- Cook), Assistant Majority Leader Ember Reichgott Junge (DFL-New Hope), John Hottinger (DFL-Mankato), and Len Price (DFL-Woodbury). This bill would be a disaster for local governments. The bill will receive its first hearing on Tuesday, April, 4, 1995 at 4:00 p.m. in Room 15 of the State Capitol. Plan to attend this meeting. The authors claim that the intent of the bill is to force reform of the state/local finance system. To achieve this goal, the bill would not only freeze property taxes for 1996 but also sunset LGA and HACA in 1998, as well as aspects of the education finance system. The effect will be to destroy local finances. To prevent property tax increases in 1996, cities and other local units of government would be prohibited from certifying a 1996 levy greater than the amount certified to the county auditor in 1995. The only exception is for debt service for bonds issued before March 27, 1995. Cities would also be prohibited from incurring any new debt after March 27, 1995, regardless of its impact on property taxes. For property owners, property market values would generally be frozen at the value determined as of January 1995 (for taxes payable in 1995). Property values could decline due to abatements or revaluation. The only exception is for value of new construction or improvements. This value would be added to the parcel's market value. The bill would provide additional aid to local units to assure that actual property taxes paid by taxpayers will not increase. This aid would compensate for tax base reductions or levy increases due to debt issued on or before March 27, 1995. The tax rate could only exceed the previous year level if tax base reductions occur or if debt service levies increase for bonds issued before March 27, 1995. OVER To prevent large levy increases after the freeze expires, the bill would reimpose levy limits for 1997. The limit would be equal to the lesser of the implicit price deflator or three percent. A city could increase its levy beyond this level only if voters approve the increase in a referendum. I have attached a copy of a document used by the Senate to outline the rationale for the freeze and describe how it would work. This document is the best expression of the intent of the bill's authors, including the politics of the proposal. This bill would be a disaster for cities. Once imposed, a property tax freeze or strict levy limits will be difficult to repeal. Call your representative and senator immediately and insist that they oppose any property tax freeze. If your schedule permits, plan to attend the hearing on Tuesday. This could be one of the most important and onerous bills introduced this legislative session. Senate OFL Caucue Property Tax Freeze ~. ~ Politiosl Polnt~ 1.

Years 1988 and later inctude all property type sales from the Regional MLS. 1993 and 1994 sales include only single family, condominiums, townhousa and co-op sales. Through 1992 Division III districts were sorted by a 500 number. In 1993 Division III became sorted by a 300 number. See pages 15 and 16 for a list of numbers. The single family average sales price for Division I and II has been added to this year's edition of the Residential Real Estate Activity Report. Average and median sale prices are included in portions of this report. According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary a median is "a value in an ordered set of values below and above which there is an equal number of values which is the arithmetic mean of the two middle values if there is no one middle number." An average is determined by dividing the total dollar volume by unit number. The Residential Real Estate Activity Report is published by the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®, 5750 Lincoln Drive, Minneapolis, MN 55436. REALTOR® is a federally registered mark which identifies members of the National Association of REALTORS® who, by their membership, subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics. The 1994 edition of the Resi- dential Real Estate Activity Report includes data from the Regional Multiple Listing Service [RMLS]. RMLS includes 545 participating REALTOR® offices in the Minneapolis area, 197 offices in the St. Paul area, 99 offices in the Anoka County area and 110 offices in the Dakota County area. The RMLS is divided into three geographic divisions. Division I includes properties located in Anoka, Chisago, Ramsey, Washing- ton and some areas in Isanti and Sherbume Counties. Division II includes properties located in Dakota, Scott and some areas in Goodhue, Rice and LeSueur Counties. Division III includes properties located in Hennepin, Carver, McLeod, Sibley, and some areas in Wright Counties. On July 1, 1993 two changes were implemented by RMLS. First, there were several district changes made, mostly in Division III. See page 15 for the numbers used prior to 1993. Second, there was a change made in reporting sale information. At the time a purchase agreement is agreed to, it is reported by the listing broker as a "pending." After the closing has taken place a second report of "final sale" is made, which includes the sale price and terms. At that time the data is added to the "total sales" and "dollar volume." The data in this report is taken from the statistical information provided by the MLS vendor, Moore Data Management Systems Division. The information included, while deemed to be correct, has not been verified by the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®, its Multiple Listing Service or the Regional Multiple Listing Service. Neither the MAAR nor RMLS assumes responsibility for the accuracy of the data found in this report.

Years 1988 and later include all property type sales from the Regional MLS. 1993 and 1994 sales include only single family, condominiums, townhouse and co-op sales. Through 1992 Division III districts were sorted by a 500 number. In 1993 Division III became sorted by a 300 number. See pages 15 and 16 for a list of numbers. The single family average sales price for Division I and II has been added to this year's edition of the Residential Real Estate Activity Report. Average and median sale prices are included in portions of this report. According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary a median is "a value in an ordered set of values below and above which there is an equal number of values which is the arithmetic mean of the two middle values if there is no one middle number." An average is determined by dividing the total dollar volume by unit number. The Residential Real Estate Activity Report is published by the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®, 5750 Lincoln Drive, Minneapolis, MN 55436. REALTOR® is a federally registered mark which identifies members of the National Association of REALTORS:~ who, by their membership, subscribe to a strict Code of Ethics. The 1994 edition of the Resi- dential Real Estate Activity Report includes data from the Regional Multiple Listing Service [RMLS]. RMLS includes 545 participating REALTOR® offices in the Minneapolis area, 197 offices in the St. Paul area, 99 offices in the Anoka County area and 110 offices in the Dakota County area. The RMLS is divided into three geographic divisions. Division I includes properties located in Anoka, Chisago, Ramsey, Washing- ton and some areas in Isanti and Sherburne Counties. Division II includes properties located in Dakota, Scott and some areas in Goodhue, Rice and LeSueur Counties. Division III includes properties located in Hennepin, Carver, McLeod, Sibley, and some areas in Wright Counties. On July 1, 1993 two changes were implemented by RMLS. First, there were several district changes made, mostly in Division III. See page 15 for the numbers used prior to 1993. Second, there was a change made in reporting sale information. At the time a purchase agreement is agreed to, it is reported by the listing broker as a "pending." After the closing has taken place a second report of "final sale" is made, which includes the sale price and terms. At that time the data is added to the "total sales" and "dollar volume." The data in this report is taken from the statistical information provided by the MLS vendor, Moore Data Management Systems Division. The information included, while deemed to be correct, has not been verified by the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS®, its Multiple Listing Service or the Regional Multiple Listing Service. Neither the MAAR nor RMLS assumes responsibility for the accuracy of the data found in this report. The Residential Real Estate Activity Report has been published annually by the Minneapolis Area Associa- tion of REALTORS® since 1979.

I believe you will find that our efforts in 1994 produced a series of important outcomes in both community and economic development, particularly in the areas of business retention and expansion, education alliances and community volunteerism. More importantly, the results demonstrate the importance of working collaboratively with partners in the private, public and non-profit sectors to make Minnesota a better place for all of us to live, work and do business. The Power Through Partnership clearly demonstrates NSP's commitment to the communities we serve, helping to expand economic opportunities and build strong, lasting communities. We welcome any comments you may have on our Annual Report or The Power Through Partnership, and pledge our commitment to build on last year's efforts and achieve equally significant results in 1995.

Orn: goal is to use our collective knowledge, resources and skills to meet the needs of our customers and partners. While we take pride in our achievements, _we recognize they are never ours alone. They _represent the accomplishments of many organiz_ation� that may vary in perspective yet share a common goal: the willingness to combine resources and expertise and work together to help our region develop strong communities and a vibrant economy. --L ,·From the VICE 'PRESIDENT . ong-term economic development is an ourgrowth of community arid regional stability.

Schulte Vice President -Customer·Service 2 1994 HIGHLIGHTS Worked with community and economic development· partners to retain o,r attract 23 firms providing 2,400 jobs and $1 Bo' million in plant and equipment investment. Retained or ;i.dded more than $4 million in annual gross revenues from energy sales; Supported industrial development in Area Development Rate wnes by providing discounted electric rates, under Project Gemini; to five companies with _more than 500 employees. Served as a principal co-spo�s�r of Medical Design and Manufacturing, a trade exhibi tion that, �ttracted 4,000 participants and 300 exhibitors, and secured a commitment to bring the event back to the Twin Cities in 1996. Maintained active partnerships with seven high-need schools, involving 75 employees with outreach to 310 students. Organized 10,000 hours of participation by 1,800 NSP employees and retiree volunteers in 63 projects with outreach to more ihan 11,500 customers. Coordinated NSP representation in 68 community events providing 32;000 customer contacts. Organized and scheduled 300 tours ofN'SP power plants and other facilities involving ' . 6,500 partic;pants. Invested $9 million in 12 affordable housing projects, yielding 916 units of housing, through Eloigne Company (a non-regulated NSP subsidiary) and NSP Community and Economic Development. From the DJ RECTOR I n 1994, the first full year in which NSP's communicy development and economic development programs have co-existed as a single department, we worked to complete the transition and coordinate our efforts to more effectively share the benefits of this new relationship with the communities we serve. While this report outlines an impressive list of accomplishments achieved by the Community and Economic Development Department and its partners -we exceeded our goals for job retention and creation, private investment and gross revenues for NSP ..:__ our new organization/tl structure also has positioned us to take better advantage of opportunities that produce less-measurable bur equally important benefits. Understanding community development and economic development as two halves of the same whole helps NSP and the communities we serve craft more comprehensive strategies for long-term community and regional well-being. We can work more effectively with our partners to recognize and build into economic development strategies the critical links to such issues as quality of life, education and affordable housing, important elements in keeping and attracting environmentally sustainable companies. The integration of community development and economic development is also critical in helping NSP play a greater leadership role in framing public sector initiatives that benefit the region as a whole. As we evolve, our regional perspective and community sensitivity will allow us to encourage consensus-building by better understanding and reconciling the needs of the region with the needs and concerns of individual communities. As we work to build on the success of 1994, we plan to continue our emphasis on linking economic development strategies to community development initiatives, particularly education and training. In addition to the critical role schools play in strengthening communities, the quality of our educational and training systems may well prove to be one of the most significant factors in positioning our region to compete successfully in the global economy. As always, we look forward to working with our community, government and business partners and serving NSP's customers in the year ahead. �6_;, /'.J �� Anita S. Duckor Director of Community and Economic Development 3 st rate g _v on e Increase household-supporting wage jobs by encouraging the retention, expansion and attraction of environmentally sensitive companies producing high value goods and services. Results In 1994, NSP's Community and Economic Develop ment Department (C&ED) met or exceeded each of its goals under this mategy, investing in 16 key economic development organizations, retaining or creating more than 2,400 jobs, stimulating more than $180 million in private capital investment and securing five Area Development Rate (ADR) projects. Together, these activities generated more than $4 million in annual gross revenues for NSP. In addition, C&ED: •Fina::iced the participation of 86 NSP customers in the Small Business Innovation Research Program to secure federal agency research grants leading to the eventual commercial application of technologies. (T hirty NSP sponsored applicants received 56 grants totaling $8.8 million for the federal fiscal year ending September 30, 1993.) •Sponsored, in cooperation with the University of Minnesota's Institute of Technology and the University of St. Thomas' Manufacturing Systems and Engineering Center, a seminar on future manu facturing strategies that attracted 100 participants during Minnesota Manufacturing Week in October. •Co-sponsored, with Minnesota Technology, Inc., the annual Technology Issues Dinner, defining the future of manufacturing jobs in Minnesota ---' an event attended by 400 business leaders representing technology-oriented companies. 180% 100% II I ADR Projects NSP Annual 4 Gross Revenues Background Building a diverse and environmentally sustainable manufacturing/industrial base that provides house hold-supporting jobs is essential for ensuring the long-term health of our communities. C&ED pro vides a comprehensive set of programs designed to support the growth of NSP's existing and potential business customers. •The Business Retention and Expansion Program encourages manufacturers to stay and expand in NSP's service area by offering management consul tation, technological assistance and access to valuable business resources such as financial assistance, market ing support and training information. •The Location Site Assistance Program helps manufacturers expand or reloc�te in NSP's service area by providing access to a database of sites and facilities, assisting in the development of requests for proposals and offering the Rite Site Guide, a free step by-step guide to the expansion/ relocation process. •Project Gemini encourages the expansion or relocation of manufacturers into 10 metropolitan target zones by offering five-year discounts (Area Development Rate) on energy demand charges. -Goal -Results 143% 11 Jobs Retained/ Created 347% Private Capital Investment As a manufacturer of semiconductor chips, Cypress Semiconductor, Inc. operates in a competitive inter national marketplace. Based in San Jose, Calif, the company employs 1,300 worldwide, including 200 at a production facility in Bloomington, Minn. In February 1994, Cypress faced a crucial deci sion: whether to expand its existing wafer fabrication plant in Bloomington or consider alternative sites in Mississippi and Texas. Cypress contacted the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic Development (DTED) and the City of Bloomingron to explore potential financial assistance options and other incentives. Becal\se Cypress operates 24-hours a-day, 365-days-a-year, making energy cost and relia bility key factors in the company's decision, NSP was asked to participate in the proposal process. In March 1994, the City of Bloomington, DTED and NSP submitted a joint proposal to "Cypress that included provisions for $750,000 in tax increment financ;ing, site development assistance, a $500,000 Economic Development Recovery grant, a $180,000 Job Skills Partnership grant, environmental consulting assistance, $1.5 million in upgraded elec trical equipment and energy-efficient equipment rebates, Shortly thereafter, Cypress announced its decision to expand its Bloomington facility. The two-phase, $200 million expansion, to be completed in 1997, will: •Double the plant's production capacity. •Retain 200 existing jobs and create 400 new jobs (at "household-supporting" wages of $14-$20 per hour plus benefits). •Stimulate the creation of 181 indirect and induced jobs. •Provide $8.1 million a ye;i,r in additional wages. •Demonstrate that Minnesota, through public private cooperation, can compete effectively with "low-cost" states for high-skill, high-wage jobs. Neighborh�evelopment Center, Inc. If the story of Cypress Semiconductor demonstrates the need for regional cooperation to help companies compete in the global economy, the Neighborhood Developmem Center, lnc. (NDC) shows that infus ing vitality into local economies is equally important. Many low-income, inner-city neighborhoods are rich in home-based businesses eager to expand into storefront and small manufacturing operations that would create jobs and stability. However, poor neigh borhood conditions and lack of expertise often pre vem these "micro-entrepreneurs" from acquiring the capital they need to grow. Money flows through these neighborhoods, but little stays as long-term invest ment. Established in 1992, NOC provides training and small loans to stimulate the growth of small busi nesses in Minneapolis and St. Paul neighborhoods. The training program provides valuable skills and information and functions as a support network to help entrepreneurs develop, test and refine their ideas. NOC has trained more than 100 entrepreneurs in eight inner-city neighborhoods. All rrainees have incomes below the area median, about 70 percent have been persons of color and more than half have been women. An early supporter of the NOC program, NSP's commitment helped attract additional investments by other corporations and foundations. NDC has made 16 loans to entrepreneurs, including loans to rwo small production businesses in the Selby neighbor hood of St. Paul. The NSP-sponsored NDC loans helped a small food processor purchase additional equipment and provided start-up funding for a firm that employs 12 local residents in manufacturing safety lighting systems for bi cycling, in-line skating and other outdoor uses.· 5 strategy Two Help achieve a globally competitive and internationally focused business communi-ty. Results The Community and Economic Development Department (C&ED) has focused on attracting medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers to help nourish Minnesota's growing medical products industry. In 1994, these efforts: •Qualified 40 new medical industry business prospects for Minnesota. •Produced formal business proposals and qualified Minnesota as a finalist (final decisions pending) for two projects proposed by medical/ biotech companies in California and Delaware. •Attracted, with NSP as co-sponsor, Medical· Design and Manufacturing (MD&M), an annual medical components trade exhibition that attracted 300 exhibitors and 4,000 attendees from the United States and Canada. Secured a commitment from MD&M to return to the Twin Cities in 1996. •Elected. NSP to the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Biotechnology Association, which is leading efforts to create a five-year strategic plan to develop Minnes.ota's biotech�ology industry. •Positioned NSP as co-sponsor and advisor for WorldMed 94, a two-month series of international trade events and other opportunities to promote Minnesota's medical products industry. In addition, NSP participated in the following critical strategic planning efforts: •Served on St. Paul Mayor Norm Coleman's Economic Advisory Council to develop a city-wide economic agenda. 6 •Co-chaired the Enterprise Development Subcommittee of the Greater Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce "Building Our Future" project, which produced five key economic development strategies for the region and 24 tactics to carry out those strategies. •Participated in the strategic planning process to help redefine the mission of the University of Minnesota's Humphrey Institute State and Local Policy Program. •Served on the Twin Cities Industry Cluster Project, sponsored by the Humphrey Institute and the Metropolitan Council, designed to identify sectors of the local economy that provide competitive advan- tages and develop recommendations to capitalize on those advantages. Background Competing effectively in a global marketplace requires more than regional cooperation to help individual businesses thrive. It demands a clear strategy that encourages the business community to work together to attract economic development opportunities cqnsistent with our region's strengths. With its regional perspective and crucial responsibility as a major energy-provider, NSP plays a strategic role in Twin Cities' economic development. Through its Target Marketing Program, C&ED recruits targeted medical device and pharmaceutical product manufacturers from throughout the United States an_d Canada, encouraging expansion into the Twin Cities region. The purpose of this effort is twofold: to encourage expansion of the medical products industry and to keep valuable research, technology and high-wage jobs in Minnesota. , c. Ko_rean native Hyon Kim founded JMT, Inc. in 1987 to he�p medical products manufacturers in the Twin Cities market their prqducts in Korea. As JMT grew, s.he expanded the company's consulting services to include technology transfer and the development of international distribution net works. In 1992, Kim decided to expand JMT to include contract manufacturing and product development. Recognizing the need for available business resources to avoid the delays and other pitfalls that plague a start-up manufacturer, she contacted the Minnesota Department of Tr ade and Economic Develop merit . . . ' (DTED) and C&ED to explore options, including financial assistance opportunities, location site assis ta1_1ce and energy efficiency. In addition "to its significant product export ' . . potential, the venture offered other important economic development benefits. Kiin's goals included locating in the St. Paul urban core and providing high-wage job opporturiities for-minority groups. Working with its economic development part-: ners, NSP conducted an exhaustive search for 14,000 square feet of manufacturing space that would meet JM�'s production and cost criteria. A consulting architect toured and evaluated each candidate site. The year-long search resulted in JMT securing manu:.. facturing space in St. Paul's Energy Park that fits the company's needs. The City of St. Paul, St. Paul Porr Authority, Ramsey County, the Metropolitan Economic Development Association, DTED, local banks and private investors cooperated to design a .$1.2 million financing package with terms that would satisfy JMT's capital structure. 7 " strategy _Three Link education and business resources to prepare workers for excellence in present and emerging job opportunities. ResuJts NSP's Community and Economic Development Department (C&ED) has helped ensure the availability of a skilled workforce to fill the high-tech jobs of the future and encourage the development of responsible citizens better prepared to contribute to their com muniti�s. Through C&ED's efforts in 1994, NSP: •Conducted active partnerships with seven high-need schools, involving 75 employees with outreach to 310 students. ' • Supported nine education alliances, involving five employees with outreach to 150 students. •Distribured 3,000 K-12 Energy Education Curriculum Kits to 1,105 schools, with outreach to 105,000 students. ·• Hosi:ed 92 teachers for 2,760 students at 80 schools involved in the 15th annual Environmental , Academy for Minnesota Te achers. •Delivered 366 presentations -on topics such as energy production, renewable energy and environmental protection -involving 85 employees with outreach to 21,650 pa.\"ticipants (98 percent of whom rated presentations "excellent"). 8 Background In the long run, even the most effective economic and community development initiatives are wasted without well-educated citizens. Strong school_s and a skilled workforce are assets in helping existing businesses-expand and attracting new businesses to the region. With public and private education in Minnesota facing enormous pressure to prepare work ers, NSP has become a model of the more active role corporations must play in supporting education and sharing educational resources. The C&ED Education Program: •Directs NSP's efforts to.form school partner ships, develop sound education policy and recruit and train employees for tutoring and mentoring roles. •Distributes curriculum kits providing impor tant safety, energy conservation and environmental protection information for teachers and students in grades K-12. •Recruits, trains and schedules employee speakers for secondary students i'nterested in learning more about energy production, supply, conservation, renewable energy, environmental protection and other utility-related information. •Distributes energy safety poster· calendars annually to -K-12 classrooms in schools located in NSP's service territory. mative '-./ A project ofthe:Sar)fo:rd Middle·S&ool (gr�des;6--:-8); · :: located in the Longfellow Communicy of southeast', Minneapolis; rhe Sanford AJrernative School is a sctio�_l-wirbin-a.:.school designed t? :help hi�;.r{slc · .. stuclents)mprove their acadein,k:perforrrtanc�-and·. .. , _�void devel�·ping attendance and discipline p�obl�s. · [n 1994, C&ED expanded the scope of its fow--.

Results The Community and Economic Development Department ( C&ED) has fulfilled a key coordinating role in maintaining and. expanding NSP's program of corporate volunteerism. In 1994, C&ED: •Recruited, trained and organized NSP employee and retiree volunteers to participate in 63 projects involving 1,800 employees and more than 10,000 hours of volunteer time, with outreach to more than 11,500 customers: •Recruited and trained NSP officers, senior managers and employees to serve on the boards of directors of 63 not-for-profit organizations and to report directly on the activities of 123 organizations. •Coordinated NSP' representation and/or recruited employee participation in 68 community events involving 32,000 customer contacts. •Organized and scheduled 300 plant tours involving 10 plants and 6,500 participants. In addition, C&ED's network of contacts with community-based. organizations.helped NSP participate in community events and remain aware of community issues. 10 Background As a regional energy-provider, NSP service reaches into most homes and businesses, its influence touch ing almost every community in the Twin Cities area. NSP devotes significant corporate resources to assist its business customers, wm:k with communities to develop and implement community development strategie·s and support educational initiatives. NSP's leadership role in corporate volunteerism helps cement these business and community relationships in inore direct, humari. terms. C&ED provides leadership for NSP's volunteer programs Sharing Time and Resources (STAR) and Pioneers in Public Service (for retirees), coordinating NSP participation in not-for-profit organizations, organizing NSP participation in community events and organizing tours of NSP plants. C&ED helps NSP and its employees maintain a strong sense of customer service and an awareness of community needs. eels .

HealthSpan Transpo tion Services A HealthSpa,ffOr~anization Another year came and went in a hurry, bringing to you another year end report from HealthSpan Transportation. We move on so quickly from one project to the next that we often lose sight of our daily accomplishments. Until January, that is, when we mm around and take a good long look at all that happened in the past 12 months. I'm always struck by how far we've come when I see it in black and white. We have many people to thank' for our success, not the least of whom are our employees. We also owe credit to the many professionals throughout the region -- fire fighters, police chiefs, sheriffs, medical providers and others -- who lend their collaborative hands to shared efforts. We stepped up to the challenge in 1994 of redefining our role in medical transportation. We believe that changes to the nation's medical model should and will have a direct impact on our business -- emergency service will always be needed, but prevention and preparedness are increasingly important. We face a paradigm shift of sorts, and this excites us. The 1994 report begins to articulate our new vision. We look forward in this coming year to active conversation within our ranks and with people in the community at large about these ideas. As many of you know, we suffered a tragic loss in 1994, with Robin Nei's death. She had been a dispatcher with us for 11 years. People came from far and wide to pay tribute to a special woman who ~vas always keeping us on track while bolstering our spirits. She will be missed. We strive to keep our ears and minds open, ever learning from the valuable perspectives of our customers and colleagues. We invite your comments and suggestions. And we anticipate another dynamic year of change and evolution. Thank you. Sincerely, _ David R. Miller President, HealthSpan Transportation Services Vice President, Allina Health System DRM/jn Enclosure HealthSpan Transportation Services 1994 Year End Report Februory 1995 HealthSpan Transportation Services 167 Grand Avenue St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 612-222-3728 HealthSpan TRANSPORTATION SERVICES 1994 Year End Report There's no escaping it. Change remains the order of the day. In this ::: :: :~i fifth annual year end report, we'd like to update you on our progress during the last year. As you read through this report, you'll see that HealthSpan Transportation's strength is built on increasingly collabora- tive relationships with agencies and health care providers throughout our region. In this day and age, we can't do it alone. We also couldn't do it without the dedication and talent of our own people, our employ- ees. This report witnesses and celebrates their accomplishments. HealthSpan Transportation Services The Mission To promote the preservation and the quality of life by providing preeminent, cost effective medical care services to our cus- tomers, and to the communities we serve and to support and value our employees' contribution to family, community and HealthSpan Corporation. BEGINNING TO REDEFINE OUR ROLE IA[e began reflecting this ye,ar on the traditional rol,e, of medical :: ~/~l/transportation. What we ve been in the past isn t necessarily what will be needed in the future. The nation's healthcare community faces great challenge and opportunity -- surely we are no exception. "The new (Minnesota) laws will shift financial incentives towards a system of prevention...Prevention couM also result in a surplus of existing services, which could then be used to deliver other forms of 'prehospital primary care. '" A Transition to Prevention: A Vision for Change Ambulance Industry Journal, May-June 1994 authored by David Miller, President, HealthSpan Transportation Services Arriving at the scene of an accident or illness, administering medical care, rapidly transporting patients to a hospital -- this vital role will never be eliminated. But we don't think it is enough anymore. In 1994 we began articulating a new vision for the company, recognizing all of its prime competencies -- including medical staff, communication technologies, and the efficient application of resources. We started to think in terms of wellness, and actually preventing people from getting sick or hurt in the first place. An ambulance company preventing accidents? It makes perfect sense in light of insurance plans that encourage people to stay healthy, and help them live longer and more productive lives while keeping escalat- ing costs in check. Not only do we welcome managed care into the medical transportation arena; we intend to be an instigator. "Managed care" has too often become a code word for cost-cutting. We want to emphasize its original intent to keep people healthy. HealthSpan Transportation Services The Core Services Advanced Life Support (ALS) Paramedic staffed ambulances provide continuous coverage, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They respond to 911 emergency calls and transfers requiring all levels of support. Special Transportation (ActiveRide, etc.) Specially trained staff provide transport to and from medical appointments for people requiring special care not avail- able through mass transit sys- tems. Basic Life Support (BLS) Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) staffed ambulances. They respond to our customers' need for transfers that do not necessarily require the high level of skill of ALS, yet require continuous medical monitoring of the patient. Training Services Tailored training courses and Medical Director support are available for "First Responders," e.g. police, fire, state patrol, and sheriff's departments, as well as community groups. Communications Center Dispatchers trained as EMT's and Emergency Medical Dispatchers staff the Center 24 hours a day for emergency calls and scheduled transports. Customer Accounting Department The business office is staffed with service agents prepared to respond to customer inquiries during regular office hours. STEPPING STONES TO A NEW MODEL ~o in 1994, we decided to "up the ante" on prevention and ~preparedness. We formulated strategies to actually reduce the need for emergency services. In the coming year, we will be introducing still more innovative programs that keep us moving in this new direction. Throughout the summer we worked with public service officials in Bloomington to roll out a colorful and interactive new family safety program. Over 1,000 children learned about bicycle/rollerblade safety and basic first aid, resulting in a 12% increase in helmet use. To encourage participation, paramedics awarded gift certificates, donated by local merchants, to children "caught" demonstrating safe practice. Within our own ranks, we continue to focus on safety and prevention -- monitoring our drivers' records, rewarding good performance, and implementing improved vehicle safety standards. We spent many hours designing a program to help First Responders (police, fire, etc.) continuously improve their own medical skills and performance. The resulting Medical Director Package is offered by contract to agencies that don't have in-house staff to write medical protocols, train employees, and review actual cases. We continued to offer a core of training classes that both businesses and First Responder groups have come to rely on; last year 1,080 students participated in 64 programs. On a still grander scale, preparedness efforts for potential MCI (mass casualty incidents) went into full swing. We conducted extensive train- ing for our own medics and for First Besponders in the region. We organized and conducted 12 life-size emergency drills, involving hun- dreds of paramedics, EMT's, law enforcement officials, fire fighters, and public works departments in five counties. Mock incidents were often unannounced, ranging from airline accidents, to chemical spills with hazardous materials, to massive personal injury accidents. At critique sessions immediately afterward, we identified deficiencies, and then watched our ratings improve throughout the year. Our overall MCI plan is now being copied and utilized by other emergency providers in the region. Medical advances in the field added to our sense of preparedness for sick or injured patients. In April, paramedics began using a new device called PerTrach that opens the airway for choking victims and other patients suffering from obstructions to breathing. Clearly, this device saves lives. A second breakthrough was in the area of cardiac monitors. We purchased equipment which, when applied to the body surface in the event of heart failure, keeps the heart pumping and stabilizes blood pressure. The manufacturer of this revolutionary device has invited HealthSpan Transportation to participate in field testing for new product development beginning in 1995. "'When we'd find them being safe, that's when we'd essentially pull them over, and give them an ice cream cone coupon,' Peterson (Family Safety Program Coordinator) said." Bloomington Sun-Current Wednesday, September 7, 1994 "Thank you for your good services. More importantly for my husband's life. You have my eternal thanks. He relayed to me how very kind and efficient you were with him the whole time, Thank yOU." Buffalo resident Personal letter 3 In the midst of all these changes and improvements, we also have kept a careful eye to the basics that our public still counts on. Our CAD (computer aided dispatch) system helped us radically improve our emergency response times in 1992 and 1993. We continued our efforts in 1994, fine tuning our performance in adjacent Twin Cities communi- ties such as Roseville, Vadnais Heights, Columbia Heights, Champlin, Little Canada, and portions of northern Anoka County. The result was measurable response time improvements in each town or region. During the spring and summer months we spent time developing a customer survey for ALS (Advanced Life Support) services. We mailed questionnaires to every one of our patients who were not hospitalized. We sought information about our performance, and asked for their opinion as to what they felt were the most important components of quality service. They identified speed, training, courteous attitude, and sound equipment as the quality cornerstones. Those we served gave us a 96% satisfaction rating. In 1995 we will begin measuring our per- formance against those same variables identified by our public. CHANGING OUR LOOK INSIDE AND OUT : :::::The management team at HealthSpan Transportation celebrated last :~summer, when the proposed merger between HealthSpan and Medica (a regional company with a variety of health management plans) was approved. This creates an integrated system of healthcare services -- including hospitals, clinics, home care, and insurance pro- grams -- that combines our mutual interest in wellness and prevention. The new organization is called Allina Health System. With it's broad resources, Allina provides us with more means to imple- ment our vision in the medical transportation arena. Since our name hasn't changed, the most visible effect of the merger was our color. We adopted the corporate colors and put a fresh coat of paint on our rigs, giving them a white base highlighted by a teal-green band. Our cus- tomers took note and shared their positive impressions (and otherwise) of our new stripes. GROWTH THROUGH COLLABORATION ~_rowth in and of itself has never been our main objective. But care- kJ fully designed growth in contiguous service areas helps residents by improving our effectiveness in responding quickly to emergency calls. By year-end, our coverage spanned 60 communities in the greater metropolitan region, representing 600,000 people. Two new regions became part of our PSA (Primary Service Area) for ALS coverage. As a result of the new relationship forged between HealthSpan and St. Francis Regional Medical Center in 1993, the ambu- lance arms of both organizations got together to decide the best way to "1 was transported from the Airport to Fairview Ridges in Burnsville on June 1.

Both of us want to thank the para- medics for their prompt, concerned help," Elk River resident Personal letter 4 serve the region, which includes portions of Carver and Scott Counties, and the cities of Shakopee, Savage and Chaska. After a year of careful study and evaluation -- involving employees, community leaders, and hospital board members -- a decision was reached to fully integrate the services of the two providers, beginning in October of 1994. In addition, portions of central Scott County -- including Prior Lake, Spring Lake, Credit Pdver, and the Dakota communities -- began receiv- ing full coverage through the HealthSpan emergency network. Even before the switch, HealthSpan provided back-up coverage, with prima- ry coverage coming from the local fire department and a corp of volun- teers. When we were approached about taking on full responsibility, we accepted, and the transition began in December. An innovative and cost-effective program to transport outstate residents into major medical facilities blossomed in late 1994. The "Greater Minnesota" van service delivered 250 people to their hospital, doctor's office, or treatment center. We transported patients over 150,000 miles. Demand continues to grow for this much needed service. HealthSpan's Communications Center, the dispatching hub of our operation, assumed complete control of all dispatch activities for our ALS regions in August, when Wright County transferred responsibility to us for dispatching emergency services in that region. We received an estimated 160,000 calls in 1994; a 6.7% jump from the prior year. On a contract basis, we began the year by offering full dispatch service to District Memorial ambulance. Other providers benefit from our dis- patching expertise and capability, including electronic pagers, accurate and detailed road information, and performance driven management reports. As part of our move toward prevention, we were awarded a major contract with Metropolitan Health Plan, a managed care organization serving residents of Hennepin County. We'll be providing an estimated 1,200-1,400 scheduled trans- ports per year for enrollees making hospital and clinic visits. We also continued looking for ways to collaborate more substantially with LifeLink III, which provides fixed-wing, helicopter and critical care ground transport. In March, HealthSpan Transportation received recognition for a differ- ent type of collaboration. The Anoka County American Red Cross Chapter presented us with an appreciation plaque for donating an ambulance, which was converted for use during disasters and public gatherings in the community and surrounding areas. Their old vehicle was retired and auctioned for sale, generating funds for maintenance of the new one. One might even say that our collaborative efforts reached international proportions last January, when we delivered a keynote presentation entitled "The Virtues of Privatization' at the Ambulance World The fall chapter meeting was held at HealthSpan Transportation.

TRACKING THE COURSE OF CHANGE The following graph illustrates service volumes for the past six years: 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 ALS 14,668 15,345 16,376 16,111 16,335 17,125 BLS 16,339 18,078 18,711 15,475 12,756 9,766 SpecialTransportation 48,126 52,027 45,839 38,802 40,551 34,721 5000 5000 4000 3000 2000 1000 VOLUME TRENDS 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 ....... ALS .................. BLS ....... Special Transportation ALS volumes continued upward as we added new PSA coverage. Special Transportation and BLS (Basic Life Support) volumes, however, have been declining since 1990 and 1991 respectively. Continually dropping BLS volume, with no reversal in sight, prompted our decision in September to consolidate that department's activity within our ALS department. Our prices for BLS remained steady. We believe the change has been transparent to our customers, with the exception of improved service. It was a prudent move that supports our continuing financial viability. Since we can now deploy our network of ambulances more efficiently, the change has led to improved on-time performance of our scheduled service, with no sacrifice to emergency coverage. Allina's commitment to our partnership helped us to identify excellent career opportunities for HealthSpan Transportation employees who were displaced by the change in BLS. I was especially impressed with the attitude and profes- sionalism of (HealthSpan's repre- sentative) as he engaged many students of diverse cultural backgrounds in productive conver- sations in an effort to teach students from grades 9-12 about the field of EMS and the paramedic profession." John Prondzinski, Assistant Vice President Ridgeview Medical Center. Waconia 6 THE SOUL OF THE MACHINE Nut own people provided many of the ideas for improvements we ~,.~ made last year. Over one-third of our work force was involved in implementing 141 ideas to improve quality. The men and women of HealthSpan Transportation also continued to exercise their dedication and commitment to service by participating on a volunteer basis at numerous special events -- such as parades, fairs, career days, sports events, and open houses. Involvement has grown steadily over the years, culminating in 52 people helping with more than 450 events in 1994. Among the more visible events were the Burnett Senior Golf Classic, and the high school soccer tournament held at the Blaine Sports Center. We started using a special purpose vehicle -- a uniquely built golf cart, courtesy of several local Lions Club affiliates -- to give us added versatility for maneuvering in areas where a larger emergency vehicle couldn't be accommodated. To improve the training for our new employees, we turned the program "on its head". Instead of following a rigid schedule of classroom and field training, each new employee worked with a mentor and "graduat- ed'' to progressive levels of training based largely on their performance. The 15 people who completed orientation in the fourth quarter under this new program received stellar results. It took merely weeks, instead of months, to establish them as fully productive medics and EMT's. It also assures greater consistency across the board for employees who receive this training. Internal training took on a new twist for continuing education with the Learning Library, which lets employees check out material from a cen- tral location and pursue an independent study program for CME (con- tinuing medical education) credit. GRIEVING UNAVOIDABLE LOSSES j~t Thanksgiving of 1994, our company experienced a loss for which ::~there could be no preparation. Robin Nei, who had been with HealthSpan and its forerunner organizations for 11 years, died from a sudden illness. Robin's contributions as a dispatcher and a friend never went unnoticed. Her keen "sixth sense" kept us all in tune with our business needs and with each other. She was a recipient in 1993 of the prestigious Key Contributor Award for her work in setting up CAD. Her death stunned us all. In the aftermath, we were blessed with a spirited coming-together -- a deepening respect for each and every col- league's presence. This was Robin's final gift to all of us at HealthSpan Transportation. "1 am sending this note to two of your paramedics who saved my life on July 21...(They) gave me a second chance at life on that day and I shall be eternally grateful. I understand I was quite 'feisty' as I was coming to and need to apologize if l was rude in any way/ They came in to see me in the emer- gency room after- wards and were so pleasant and caring."

We have come to trust and depend on the feedback that you provide to us. We look forward in 1995 to initiating more dialog throughout our region about prevention and preparedness as an important focus for the medical transportation model. We are excited about the possibili- ties for improving service to our communities. And we anticipate more dynamic and collaborative interaction with other agencies and providers, as we usher in a new era of healthcare delivery between now and the new millennia.

CONSENT DECREE Civil 4-92-712 I. INTRODUCTION 1. Plaintiffs Lucy Hollman, et al., ("Individual Plaintiffs") and Plaintiff National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and Defendants Henry Cisneros, Thomas T. Feeney. the United States Department of Houz~:ng and Urban Development 0-IUD) ("federal Defendants"), Cora McCorvey, the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA), the Minneapolis Community Development Agency (MCDA), the City of Minneapolis ("Minneapolis Defendants"), and the Metropolitan Council, Curtis W. Johnson, and Thomas McElveen ("Metropolitan Defendants"), enter into this Consent Decree ("Decree") for the purpose of settling this lawsuit. 2. Plaintiffs initiated this action alleging that Minneapolis and federal Defendants have administered the Public Housing and Section 8 Existing Housing programs in Minneapolis so as to create and perpetuate patterns of racial segregation, in violation of the United States Constitution, and federal and state laws. Subsequently, Plaintiffs added Metropolitan Defendants to the case, alleging the Metropolitan Defendants abandoned efforts to encourage the spread of low-income housing throughout the metropolitan area in violation of the law, thus making it more difficult for Plaintiffs to effectuate relief in this case on a metropolitan area-wide basis. Minneapolis Defendants then filed cross claims of a similar nature against Metropolitan Defendants, as well as filing cross claims against federal Defendants. Defendants deny all claims and cross claims.. 3. The parties have entered into this Decree to address the issues raised in the Plaintiffs' complaint and the Minneapolis Defendants' cross claims, and to avoid the expense and inconvenience of further litigation. The purpose of this Decree is to set out a series of actions to Page 1 be taken by Defendants which will promote equal housing opportunity, expand and maximize geographic choice in assisted housing, and encourage racial integration, by (1) deconcentrating racially concentrated family public housing projects, (2) improving living conditions in remaining family public housing units, (3) relocating public housing units to areas outside of minority concentrations, (4) improving administration of the Section 8 Existing Housing program so as to remove barriers to effective choice, (5) expanding access to application opportunities for assisted housing, (6) developing means to encourage expansion of low-income housing opportunities in suburban cities in the metropolitan area, and (7) ensuring Defendants remain committed to preserving and expanding locational choice and the goals of fair housing. Through this Decree the parties seek to expand access to assisted housing not only in areas outside of minority- and poverty- concentration in Minneapolis, but in such areas throughout the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area. 4. The parties have agreed to the terms set forth below and have agreed to the entry and implementation of this Decree. Therefore, based on the agreement of the parties, and all mater/als submitted to the Court on the appropriateness of the relief set forth in this Decree, it is ordered, adjudged and decreed that the parties shall be bound to undertake the obligations set out below. o II.

DECONCENTRATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF NORTHSIDE PROJECTS A. Demolition and/or Dispostion 22. Defendant MPHA will submit two applications for demolitibn and/or disposition and replacement of 770 public housing units in two phases. The first application will be done promptly and will include 402 units in the first phase: the Sumner Field project, projects Mn 2-5 and 2-7, currently consisting of 350 units; 4 units located in the Glenwood Project; and 48 scattered site units detailed in IV below. The first phase demolition and/or disposition will be completed three years from the date of HUD approval of the phase I application. The second phase will consist of the units in the Glenwood Project, Mn 2-4, currently consisting of 220 units (less the 4 in the first phase); the Olson Project excluding the Bryant Highrise, Mn 2-2, currently consisting of 66 units; the Lyndale Project excluding the 800 N. 5th St. Highrise, Mn 2-3, consisting of 86 units. This application will be submitted to HUD within six months and in any event before September 30, 1995. The second phase demolition and/or disposition may begin before the first is completed and v,411 be completed within five years of entry of the Decree. These applications shall be provided to Plaintiffs for comments before submission to HUD. 23. HUD will promptly process, and shall approve the applications unless they fail to meet the applicable statutory standards.. Page 7 24. Within three months of entry of the Decree, Defendant MPHA and Plaintiffs will agree to a plan for demolition of Sumner Field which will coordinate the demolition, relocation, and development of replacement housing in order to achie'~'e the following goals: development of replacement housing as quickly as possible, provision of relocation certificates as soon as a mobility housing counseling program can be effectively established, phasing of demolition so as to minimize the time in which units otherwise available for occupancy are vacant, and phasing of demolition so as to ensure that the remaining project constitutes a viable and safe environment for its residents. 25. MPHA and HUD agree that they will promptly take all steps necessary to comply with federal law with respect to the status of the Sumner Field Project as a property potentially eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. 26. HUD agrees that Northside Project land made vacant by demolition may be disposed of by MPHA at substantial writedown, consistent with the re-use of the property as ultimately determined herein. 27. The MPHA and MCDA agree that they will promptly undertake, in conjunction with residents and organizations in the affected Northside community, a study process to develop a comprehensive plan for reuse of the Sumner Field site and any additional land vacated by second phase demolition. The planning process will be coordinated with the Minneapolis Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP) planning process for this area to the extent feasible. The MPHA has contracted with the Design Center for the American Urban Landscape of the University of Minnesota to provide technical assistance in this process. The Page 8 planning process will be completed within two years ofentD, of the Decree and will consider the following: alternative uses, including: (1) (2) (3) park recreational and/or wetland areas; mixed income housing and/or owner-occupant oppommities; and commercial and industrial uses which create the potential for jobs for class members and other low-income residents of the area. the need for buffers to separate residences from highways and industrial uses. the extent to which connections to and reintroduction of commercial services to the area and the surrounding community. are necessary and feasible. the extent to which changes in public services, including police, transportation and social services are necessary, to reduce the isolation of the area and produce a more viable neighborhood. Particular attention should be paid to means to enhance residents' sense of personal security from crime. B. Relocation whether to provide for the re-introduction of streets through and subdivision of the "superblock" area west of the site area. 28. Residents of units scheduled for demolition will be relocated by Defendant MPHA in a manner which provides the residents wSth as wide as possible a geographic choice of where to live. g,~here possible, permanent replacement units will be created prior to scheduled demolition so that persons to be relocated may move directly into replacement housing. Persons moving into scattered site public housing units in nonconcentrated areas, will receive counseling to enable them to achieve a successful transition into such neighborhoods. In addition, Page 9 Defendant'MPHA will provide information to neighborhood residents to facilitate their acceptance of replacement housing. 29. When MPHA residents must be relocated due to pending demolition and permanent replacement units are not yet available, such residents shall be provided with Section 8 certificates (relocation certificates) to enable them to relocate, along with housing mobility counseIing services, described in paragraph 70 herein, in order to provide the opporumity to move to non-concentrated areas. Following completion of counseling services, residents using relocation certificates shall be free to use their certificates to move to any location they desire, subject to federal statutory and regulatory laws governing the Section 8 Existing Housing Program. 30. Persons who receive relocation certificates because permanent replacement units are not yet available, shall be offered permanent replacement units when such units do become available. In the event a person chooses to move into a permanent replacement unit, the relocation certificate shall be returned to the pool of relocation and mobility certificates described herein in paragraph 64. 31. The MPHA will pursue strategies to maximize home ownership opportunities for persons relocated. C. Replacement Housing and Metropolitan Mobility Incentive Housing 1. Resources and Statutoo, Requirements 32. Within two weeks after Court approval of this Decree, HUD will submit to MPHA an Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) for development of 770 units of public housing. These units will either replace public housing units demolished pursuant to III.A. or Page 10 will be used to provide incentives to other PHAs to accept replacement units located in nonconce~.trated areas as set out in paragraph 37 below'. Units provided as incentives to other PHAs will not be required *.o provide a priority to applicants from the MPHA waiting list and will not count as replacement units pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1437p. Replacement units may be located either in Minneapolis or in the Metropolitan Area suburbs. All replacemefit units will give priority to applicants on the MPHA waiting list. 33. The MPHA will submit, as pan of its disposition application, and HUD will approve a replacement housing plan which will permit the MPHA to count as replacement housing for purposes of 42 U.S.C. § 1437p a portion of the 900 section 8 tenant based certificates to be provided pursuant to paragraph 61, up to the statutory maximum of 50% of the units to be demolished or disposed of. 34. The Sumner Field Units and all scattered site units to be disposed of pursuant to IV. will be replaced with tenant based Section 8 certificates or with public housing located in nonconcentrated areas as set out in III.C.2. below. The remaining units to be demolished will either be replaced in nonconcentrated areas as set out in III.C.2. below or at or adjacent to the current site of the four Northside Projects, to be determined pursuant to the planning process set out in III.C.3. below. 2. Replacement in nonconcentrated areas. 35. All of the project based replacement units for the Sumner Field Project, scattered site public housing, and the replacement units for the Glenwood, Olson, and Lyndale Projects which are not to be located on current Northside Project sites pursuant to III.C.3. below will be located in nonconcentrated areas of Minneapolis and Metropolitan .Area suburban Page 11 locations. No less than 80 of these units will be replaced in Minneapolis. New construction replacement units will be located within the Metropolitan Urban Services Area or within Free Standing Growth Centers as those terms are defined in the Metropolitan Council's Regional Blueprint. 36. In the course of implementing the replacement housing plan, MPHA will solicit suburban housing authorities and other local government units, and contract with such authorities or units as necessary, in order to place replacement scattered site public housing in the suburban Metropolitan Area. 37. MPHA may offer a portion of the 770 public housing development units provided by HUD pursuant to III.A. above to suburban jurisdictions as an incentive to accept MPHA replacement units in those suburban jurisdictions. These incentive units need not give priority to applicants from the MPHA waiting list. The number of units offered as suburban incentives will not exceed the number of tenant based certificates counted as replacement housing and will not exceed 203 without Plaintiffs' and HUD's written consent. 38. Defendant MPHA will focus its replacement housing efforts on acquisition of existing single family units with modest rehabilitation requirements, including single family property disposition units, although appropriate HUD multifamily property disposition projects also may be considered. These efforts also will explore the feasibility of new construction of smaller multifamily buildings. Replacement will focus on units with bedroom sizes approximating the needs of MPHA applicant and transfer waiting lists. With respect to any multifamily properties acquired as replacement housing, or with respect to newly constructed or rehabilitated multifamily units used for replacement housing the following restrictions shall Page 12 apply: for projects containing 100 or fewer dwelling units, no more than ten (10) units shall be replacement units; for projects containing more than 100 dwelling units, no more than ten (10) percent of the units or 35 units, whichever is less, shall be replacement units. MPHA, however, will not use federal funds toward acquiring dwelling units that will not be made available as public housing units. 39. Persons displaced or scheduled for displacement by demolition of units in which they were residing shall have first priority for replacement units regardless of where such units are located in the Metropolitan Area. Second priority shall be given eligible persons on Defendant MPHA applicant and transfer waiting lists who reside in minority or poverty concentrated areas, regardless of where such units are located in the Metropolitan Area. Third priority shall be given all other eligible persons on Defendant MPHA applicant and transfer waiting lists. 40. HUD, in connection with the above 770 public housing replacement units, will consider waiver of applicable HUD Total Development Cost (TDC) caps and will grant such waivers only to the extent of increased acquisition cost of housing of modest design in nonconcentrated areas. 41. HUD will make FHA single family or multifamily property disposition units available to the Minneapolis Defendants only in accordance with applicable HUD regulations and procedures. 42. HUD agrees that MPHA may proceed with developing replacement housing immediately upon approval of the demolition/disposition application, and that such activity need not wait until the demolition of units is accomplished. Page 13 43. HUD agrees that in the event MPHA and a suburban PHA enter into a joint powers agreement under which the suburban PHA develops or manages replacement housing in the form of scattered site public housing, MPHA shal~ not be required to take bids for the development or management of the replacement housing. 44. Replacement housing shall be completed by MPHA and avhilable for occupancy within six years of HUD approval of the demolition or dispostion application. MPHA shall make all reasonable efforts to phase in completion of the replacement housing over the course of the six year periord so that most of the replacement units are complete prior to the end of the six years. 3. Redevelopment Of Olson, Glenwood, and Lyndale Project Site. 45. The MPHA will promptly enter into a planning process with the residents, resident organizations, social service providers and other affected community groups in the Glenwood, Lyndale, and Olson Projects, the Golden Age Apartments, and the scattered site units located on Smith Circle to develop a plan for these projects. This plan will consider to what extent replacement should take place on the current site, how any resulting vacant land should be re-used, and how any public housing replaced on site can be improved to better meet resident needs. The MPHA has contracted with the Design Center for American Urban Landscape to provide technical assistance in this process and the Design Center's preliminary evaluation of the projects will be used as a starting point in the planning process. The Plaintiffs will be integrally involved in this planning process. The process will be coordinated with Minneapolis Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP) planning for this area and will be completed within two years of entry' of the Decree. Page 14 46. HUD will approve replacement of up to 368 units on the current sites as meeting the "overriding need" standard in 24 C.F.R. § 941.202(c)(1)(!i) based on the representations of neighborhood redevelopment and revitalization made by the Minneapolis Defendants and the participation of the Plaintiff class and other tenants in the formulation of a redevelopment and revitalization plan. ' 47. HUD and the MPHA will attempt to find ways to replace units on the current site through substantial rehabilitation of existing units. 48. HUD agrees that Northside Project land made vacant by demolition may be disposed of by MPHA at substantial writedown, consistent with re-use of the property as ultimately determined herein. D. Action Plan 49. HUD will explore with MPHA how to provide at least $175,000 to carry. out the studies of reuse of the Sumner Field site and the study of replacement of the Glenwood, Lyndale and Olson projects, including author/zing the use of development funds, so long as that will not require an increase in the amount of HUD funding for the ACC and is permitted by law.. 50. Based upon both studies, Minneapolis Defendants will produce an action plan which will provide for the restructuring of the Smith Circle, Golden Age. Glenwood, Lyndale and Olson projects, and redevelopment of the Sumner Field site as well as any vacant land resulting from second phase demolition, to be presented to the parties within two years of entD' of the Decree. 51. Subject to the dispute resolution procedure set out in paragraph 97, any party may petition the Court to review' the action plan. In determining the adequacy of the action Page 15 plan, the Court shall f'md the plan invalid to the extent that it is not reasonably calculated to achieve the goals set out in subparagraph A below or fails to fully consider the factors set out in subparagraph B below or omits information required by subparagraph C below. In the event the Court invalidates any aspect of the plan, the Minneapolis Defendants shall amend the plan as required by the Court. Ao The goals which the plan must be reasonably calculated to achieve are the following: i. substantial deconcentration of the Northside Projects; ii. improved physical integration of the Northside Projects with the surrounding communities; Ili. redevelopment of the area into a more viable neighborhood with improved housing quality, social and other services, economic opportunity, and amenities comparable to those found in family subsidized housing located in predominately white metropolitan-area neighborhoods, including re-use of vacant land as described in paragraph. 27; and iv. providing housing in a variety of locations for low-income families on the MPHA's waiting lists. Vo Responsiveness to the expressed preferences of current and prospective residents regarding housing type and location. B. The planning process must fully consider the following issues: Desirable numbers of public housing units to remain on the site, in light of a. the goals set out above: sound design principles for maximizing resident satisfaction, privacy, responsibility, stability and security in multifamily housing; ability of the MPHA's housing stock to meet the needs of current residents and applicants in a variety Page 16 of locations, especially those that are racially and economically integrated. Preferences of current and prospective residents regarding housing location. ii. Desirable locations and bedroom sizes for replacement units. Ili Desirable design improvements and levels of rehabilitation and modernization. iv. Desirable amenity levels, including the desirabiliD' and feasibility of providing amenities in individual units beyond those normally provided in public housing in order to increase racial and economic integration. v. Needed public services and social services. vi. Needed management improvements and desirable management innovations, including study of a self-management option. vii. Potential for homeownership, either on site or as an individual option for residents who choose to leave the site. viii. The potential for development of mixed income housing. ix. To the extent that recommendations produced suggest additional demolition resulting in developable parcels, the study will be expanded to include surrounding community organizations and will recommend reuses for the developable parcels. This process will be coordinated with that described in paragraph 27 (First Phase above) and will address the same issues. Xo The plan will set out a timetable for removal and replacement of all units designated to be demolished and strategies to minimize the amount of time involved in occupying replacement units and to provide for maintenance of remaining housing and grounds to provide a safe, sanitar.y and decent living environment during the phased removal and replacement of units. Page 17 xi. Long term viability of the remaining units, given the soil conditions and measures necessary to mitigate the effects of adverse soil conditions on common areas and individual units. C. The plan shall identify the cost of each aspect of the plan, identify the source and type of funds which will be required to effectuate the plan, and indicate .~ schedule for completing the plan. 52. With respect to the cost of implementation of the plan, the MPHA will make available up to $2,500,000 of year five and six Comprehensive Grant Funds for demolition, and provision of amenities. HUD will be responsible only for funding the 770 units of public housing and will not be required by this Decree to fxmd any other elements of the plan. (This provision does not limit HUD's responsibility for funding the planning activities as described above and for funding other activities specifically set forth in parts V, VI, and VIII of this Consent Decree). HUD will approve demolition or disposition of units in the Golden Age project and scattered site units on Smith Circle as indicated by the plan unless the applications fail to meet the applicable statutory standards. The Minneapolis Defendants shall be obligated to provide only such funding as is necessary for their compliance with their obligations with respect to preparation or implementation of the action plan. 53. Once the action plan is presented to the parties and the parties have had thirty (30) days to present objections or comments, Minneapolis Defendants shall implement the plan according to the schedule set out in the plan. 54. During and following implementation of the action plan, and subject to the dispute resolution procedure set out in paragraph 97, any party may seek the Court's review in the event those persons or entities carrying out the plan depart from the plan, fail to effectuate all aspects of the plan, or lag behind the timetable set out in the plan. Page 18 IV. DECONCENTRATION OF SCATTERED SITE UNITS 55. MPHA agrees to evaluate 129 of its 376 scattered site un/ts which are in minority concentrated areas for possible demolition/disposition. These 129 units were generally built before 1970 or have not received major modernization work within the past five years, and are the units most likely to need lead paint abatement and substantial rehabilitation. 56. The MPHA has adopted a policy, set out in Appendix A, under which units being evaluated will be demolished or otherwise disposed of if the cost of lead paint treatment and required modernization is substantial and unless the units after lead paint treatment and modernization are especially desirable for some other reason, such as large bedroom size or high amenity level. Any such units that are demolished or otherwise disposed of will be replaced in Nonconcentrated Areas. In addition to the commitments made by MPHA in the preceding sentences regarding the location of replacement scattered site units, MPHA agrees that any non-replacement scattered site units developed in the future by MPHA will not be located in poverty-concentrated areas and will in general not be located in areas which are minority-concentrated. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of HUD's fight under applicable law to review and approve or disapprove sites proposed by the MPHA. 57. The MPHA estimates that application of this policy will result in approximately 100 units located in minority concentrated areas being replaced in non-concentrated areas. To date, 44 units have been submitted to HUD for demolition or disposition. HUD has approved demolition or disposition of 19 of these. The remaining 25 will Page 19 be resubmitted to HUD along with an additional 23 units as part of the 770 unit package referred to in part III. Demolition/disposition applications for all scattered site units referred to in paragraph 56 above shall be submitted to HUD, after providing Plaintiffs with copies and the opporumity to comment, by no later than two years from entry of the Decree. HUD shall approve all disposition or demolition applications consistent with this policy unless the applications fail to meet applicable statutory standards. 58. HUD agrees that scattered sites may be turned over to the MCDA or nonprofit developers at no cost in order to foster homeownership or similar public policies intended to ensure long term ownership of the premises and avoid the kind of absentee ownership which may lead to neglect. 59. Demolition/disposition of scattered site units and production of replacement units shall be coordinated so as to minimize the period of time between demolition/disposition and the initial operation of replacement units. Ail replacement units will give priority to MPHA tenants and applicants. Paragraphs 28, 31. and 35 herein applicable to first phase demolition, relocation and replacement shall also be applicable to demolition/disposition of scattered site units herein. Vw METROPOLITAN AREA FAIR HOUSING INITIATIVE 60. The parties intend the provisions of this Decree to serve as a demonstration program in order to provide a national model for deconcentrating public housing and maximizing g6ographic choice throughout a metropolitan area. To that end, HUD will become a co-sponsor of this initiative as described herein, cooperate with the other parties in Page 20 developing and implementing the policies set out below, and Mil provide the substantial funding described in paragraphs 32, 61, 69, and 74. 61. Within two weeks after entry of the Decree, HUD shall provide an Annual Contributions Contract amendment for funding an additional 600 tenant-based Section 8 certificates and 300 tenant based Section 8 Vouchers (hereinafter referred to as C~rtificates), for relocation and mobiliW purposes, to Defendant MPHA. From this pool of certificates, MPHA shall provide residents of units scheduled for first phase demolition such certificates, known as relocation certificates, for all such residents for whom acceptable permanent replacement units are not available. 62. Following the receipt of housing counseling services as described in paragraph 70, persons receiving Section 8 relocation certificates shall be free to use their certificates throughout Minneapolis and the Metropolitan Area, subject only to federal statutory. and regulatory, laws governing the Section 8 Existing Housing Certificate and Voucher Programs. 63. All remaining certificates in the pool ofg00 shall be designated mobility certificates. MobiliD' certificates are provided for the express purpose of enabling public housing residents living in public housing in areas of minority and poverty concentration to move to nonconcentrated areas. These certificates, along with housing counseling services, shall be offered to public housing residents currently living in either family rowhouse units or scattered site units which are located in areas of minority or poverty concentration and which are not already subject to the offer ora relocation certificate pursuant to demolition. FolloMng completion of housing counseling services, certificate holders will be allowed 180 days to enter Page 21 into a lease for the rental of a unit in a nonconcentrated area. At the expiration of the 180 days, if the certificate holder has received an offer of housing in a nonconcentrated area facilitated by the housing counseling service and a Housing Assistance Payments Contract or a Housing Voucher Contract has not been executed, the certificate will be returned for distribution to other public housing residents. In the event a certificate holder has not received an offer of housing in a nonconcentrated area facilitated by the housing counseling service the certificate may be retained by the holder until such an offer has been received. The same restrictions shall apply to any reuse of the certificates (i.e., movers); however, if the reuse is by the certificate holder after having resided in a unit in a nonconcentrated area for one year, the restriction shall not apply. 64. In the event some mobility certificates remain unused after offers are extended to all current MPHA residents as described in paragraph 63 above, the remaining mobility certificates will be offered to MPHA's waiting list for public housing with priority given to households with children living in minority- or poverty-concentrated areas. In the event relocation or mobility certificate holders subsequently give up their certificate, such certificate shall be returned to the pool of 900 certificates to be used first for relocation of residents subject to subsequent demolition/disposition, and secondly, as a mobility certificate for MPHA's waitlist, with priority given to households with children living in minority- or poverty-concentrated First priority for mobility certificates shall go to Plaintiffs Lucy Hollman, Shirlnice Givens, Mai Yang, Charlotte Brown, Vanessa Boateng, Joyce Charles, Josephine Hill, Lia Shoua Pha, Anne Balentine, and Her Hang. These named plaintiffs shall be eligible for Page 22 mobility certificates as long as they meet income eligibility rules, regardless of whether they currently live in public housing or in minority- or poverty-concentrated areas. After that, eligible public housing residents shall receive certificates pursuant to paragraphs 63 and 64 above in the order of their seniority within MPHA public housing, with those residing in MPHA public housing units the longest receiving certificates fn-st. 66. The parties agree that for the purpose of deterrnining fair share allocations of Section 8 resources in future years, the allocation of 900 certificates described herein will be in addition to the fair share allocation which MPHA and the Metropolitan Council would normally receive pursuant to 24 C.F.R. Parts 791,882 and 887. In determining the Metropolitan Council's and the MPHA's fair share allocations in future years, the parties agree that mobility, certificates shall not be considered part of the allocation on which Minneapolis and the Metropolitan Council are normally judged, due to the unique purpose of these certificates. 67. Within 90 days of entry of the Decree, Plaintiffs and MPHA shall enter into an agreement defining the timing of distribution of certificates and housing conseling services to those entitled to relocation certificates, mobility certificates, and current holders of Section 8 certificates who will be entitled to counseling services. 68. Except to the extent barred by law, HUD, when it enters into any new or renewed contract to provide any form of HUD assistance to owners or managers of Metropolitan Area low income projects, shall include in the contract provisions that such owners and managers market their units to persons eligible to reside in such low-income projects through the Clearinghouse/Network established herein in addition to any other marketing efforts. In the Page 23 course of HUD monitoring reviews of these owners and managers, HUD will examine the compliance of such c,'.,mers or managers with such contract provisions. VI. ADMINISTRATION OF TENANT-BASED SECTION 8 PROGRAM A. Mobility Counseling for Certificate and Voucher Holders 69. Federal and Minneapolis Defendants shall provide funding (o create a Housing Mobility Counseling Program, at a budget estimated to be approximately $1,409 per household, which shall be designed to assist persons seeking to use either mobility certificates, relocation certificates or regular MPHA certificates or vouchers outside areas of minority- or poverty-concentration. Federal and Minneapolis Defendants shall fund, or arrange funding for the program at a level sufficient to serve 850 regular MPHA Section 8 households over three years in addition to funding these services for 900 households obtaining mobility or relocation certificates. Notwithstanding the above two sentences, HUD's sole obligation is to provide MI'HA with $1,750,000 for use in the Housing Mobility Counselling Program, within 90 days after the approval of the Decree by the Court.. The Metropolitan Council will contribute up to $100,000 to fund any additional costs of this program. The Minneapolis Defendants shall fund or arrange for the funding of the remaining cost of theprogram described in the next paragraph, up to $615,000, primarily from CDBG funds and foundation grants and donations. In the event the budgeted amounts become insufficient to perform the counseling tasks set out herein, the Minneapolis Defendants agree to take all reasonable efforts to seek additional funding from sources other than HUD. 70. The purpose of the Housing Mobility Counseling Program is to remove as many barriers as possible which impede the exercise of informed choice by class members in Page 24 determining where they will use their Section 8 certificate. These barriers include lack of information about other neighborhoods and cities, lack of information about portability features and exception rents in the Section 8 program, lack of transportation, lack of child care, difficulty in effectively applying for available units, difficulty in satisfying tenant screening requirements, landlord unfamiliarity or misconceptions regarding the Section 8 program, illegal' discrimination, language barriers, and lack of assistance with transition related problems following a move. To that end, the program will include the following elements: Providing Section 8 recipients with detailed information about locationai options in non-concentrated areas, both in Minneapolis and throughout the Metropolitan Area; Providing services to assist recipients as they look for housing, including transportation, escort services and child care; Co Providing intensive counseling and advocacy, as needed, to recipients to assist them to pass standard tenant screening procedures; do Assisting recipients with needed transitions after the move: help finding schools, churches, child care, employment; locating needed social services, etc.; assistance and support in reducing any sense of isolation and in resolving disputes with neighbors; Providing assistance and appropriate referrals to recipients who encounter illegal discrimination; f. Marketing the program to landlords in non-concentrated areas; Counseling regarding homeowuaership options when HUD implements a program permitting the use of Section 8 assistance with homeownership; ho Interpreting for foreign language speakers and people with language disabilities. Page 25 71. Various elements of the program will be administered by one or more nonprofit organizations under contract with the MPHA. The MPHA and the Plaintiffs shall agree on the selection of the nonprofit entities. Such approval by Plaintiffs shall not unreasonably be withheld. MPHA shall promptly select the nonprofit entities and begin program operations within six months of entry of this Consent Decree. Any nonprofit entities are subject to approval by HUD Headquarters. Persons in receipt of relocation and mobility certificates will have first priority for housing counseling services, but all persons with certificates or vouchers seeking housing outside areas of minority concentration are eligible for such services. 72. The organization(s) administering the housing mobility counseling program shall determine by the end of the program's first year whether lack of transportation is a major impediment to locating in suburban areas. If so, the parties agree to jointly seek a solution to this problem, wkich may include, but is not limited to, seeking expansion of public transportation. 73. Individual named Plaintiffs participating in MPHA's Section 8 certificate/voucher program at the time the housing mobility counseling program is initiated shall have first priority for access to such services, and any individual named Plaintiffs who subsequently participate in the Section 8 certificate/voucher program shall have first priority for such services upon receipt of a certificate or voucher. 74. The Metropolitan Council has begun a pilot program in cooperation with the MPHA and St. Paul PHA to provide mobility counseling services, similar to those set out above, to certificate and voucher holders in the Minneapolis and St. Paul programs (50 households in each program.) HUD will contribute $100,000 to this pilot program and the Page 26 Metropolitan Council is funding remaining costs up to $50,000. In light of the Metropolitan Council's desire to immediately initiate its pilot program. HUD will include, in the agreement pursuant to which HUD grants the aforementioned $100,000 to the Metropolitan Council, a provision that will allow the Metropolitan Council to reimburse itself, up to that amount, for costs that the Metropolitan Council may incur, pr/or to execution of that grant agreement, for Section 8-authorized mobility, counseling activities carried out pursuant to the pilot program. B. Improvement In Administration Of MPHA Certificate Program. 1. Recruitment of Landlords 75. MPHA will take the following steps to increase participation in the Section 8 program of landlords who control property.' located in Nonconcentrated areas of Minneapolis: a. MPHA will obtain, from the Minneaplis Inspections Department, a list of all owners of rental property' in non-impacted areas. This list will identify, the size of the unit, the number of units owned by each landlord, and whether the landlord is a Repeat Offender Code Compliance Initiative landlord or owns property, with recent serious code violations. The list will be updated annually. b. MPHA will develop a marketing strategy for the Section 8 program as follows. MPHA will consult with Plaintiffs in developing this strategy: 1. MPHA will survey the literature on techniques used to recruit landlords. 2. MPHA will hire a marketing consultant. Page 27 3. MPHA will survey a sample fi.om the landlord list developed in 1 above, selected to provide a valid sample of various types of landlords (e.g.., "mom and pop;" part-time owners; full-time professionals) to identify interest in and barriers to participation in the Section 8 program. Landlords with serious code violations will be excluded from the sample. 4. MPHA will devise_and implement a marketing strategy; based on the results of the survey, which will include: i. changes in program administration to address landlords' concerns, to the extent permitted by HUD regulations. ii. periodic mailings to all owners iii. attempts to recruit landlords to market the program to other landlords. c. MPHA will continue to work closely with the Minnesota Multi-Housing Association, the Star-Tribune FONAHOME staff, and similar entities to promote the Section 8 program among real estate professionals. d. Implementation of this program will begin no later than six months fi.om entry of the Decree. e. The MPHA agrees to work with the Metropolitan Council and others interested to affirmatively recruit to the Section 8 program more landlords who control property outside of Minneapolis which is not located in minority- or poverty-concentrated areas. Page 28 2. Information Packet. 76. The MPI-L~, in consultation with Plaintiffs, shall revise the informational packets provided to MPHA Section 8 certificate and voucher holders, as necessary, within 30 days of the commencement of the Housing Mobilis' Counseling Program. 3. Exceptions To Fair Market Rents. 77. The parties agree that in certain circumstances exceptions to Fair Market Rent limits may be necessary to enable class members to use certificates outside areas of minority concentration, both within Minneapolis and in the suburbs. MPHA agrees that in such circumstances, subject to the limitations of 24 C.F.R. Part 882, it will provide exception rents within its jurisdiction. In order to determine which nonconcentrated areas within the City of Minneapolis have rent levels sufficiently high that exception rents of 10% or 20% will be necessary., the MPHA will undertake a study, the design of which will be made reasonably acceptable to Plaintiffs, of rent levels at the census tract level, broken down by unit size, throughout Minneapolis. 78. Following the study of rent levels by census tracts, MPHA agrees to promptly apply to HUD for permission to provide blanket exception rents of up to 120% of fair market rents for such tracts in Minneapolis. This study will be undertaken as soon as practicable after HUD has determined fair market rents for th/s Metropolitan Area for fiscal year 1995, but by no later than 90 days from entry of the Decree. HUD shall grant such permission for such exception rents if MPHA's application is consistent with federal regulations. In addition, MPHA shall consider exception rents up to 20% on a unit-by-unit basis for class members seeking Page 29 housing in nonconcentrated areas outside blanket exception rent areas, where special circumstances may exist. 4. Voucher Payment Standards. 79. The MPHA has undertaken the analysis necessary to adjust its voucher payment standard and will apply to HUD for an increase in the voucher payment gtandard to 100% ofFMRs witlain 30 days of signing of this Decree by the parties. HUD will promptly review the application, and will approve the increase unless the application fails to meet applicable statutes or regulations. MPHA will review its voucher payment standard on an annual basis to ensure that the voucher payment standard is sufficiently high so as to enable class members holding vouchers to exercise a wide choice of available units in nonconcentrated areas. 5. Provision Of Services. 80. To the extent the MPHA Housing Mobility Counseling Program provided for herein is unable to provide services to class members with either mobility certificates or regular certificates or vouchers who are seeking to move, MPHA shall ensure that services are provided to said class members as required by statutes and regulations generally applicable to the Section 8 Program. VII. FAIR HOUSING MOBILITY CLEARINGHOUSEfNETWORK 81. MPHA agrees to fund, as set out in the next sentence, a Metropolitan Area-wide housing mobility Clearinghouse/Network designed to maximize access to existing Iow-income housing, particularly for central city residents of minority- and poverty-concentrated areas least likely to otherwise apply for housing throughout the Metropolitan Area. MPHA shall Page 30 provide $500,000 per year for five years from its Comprehensive Grant funds to the Clearinghouse/Network for use in connection with assisting and establishing mechanisms and procedures to assist public housing residents and applicants to obtain housing. 82. The parties agree to jointly develop this housing mobility Clearinghouse/ Network which, through intergovernmental cooperation and coordination and contracting with nonprofit entities, would: a. plan, establish, and coordinate procedures for implementing a coordinated or consolidated subsidized housing application process and/or waiting list. provide information on Metropolitan Area-wide housing opportunities to all low-income applicants for federal housing programs; coordinate metropolitan-wide landlord recruitment for the Section 8 program; and provide information to low-income families seeking affordable housing and information and coordination to the current network of home-finding assistance providers to maximize access by low-income families to existing affordable housing and homeownership opportunities, especially those located in non-concentrated areas. 83. The Clearinghouse/Network activities would be coordinated with housing counseling services for Section 8 recipients described above, although these housing counseling services would not necessarily be carried out by the Clearinghouse/Network. 84. In developing and implementing the Clearinghouse/Network, the parties will involve social service agencies, private owners of low-income housing projects, and non-party government agencies such as the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) (with its oversight over privately owned Section 8 projects) and Hennepin County. Within 60 days of entry' of the Decree, the Metropolitan Council will convene a working group consisting of Page 31 representatives of the parties, governmental entities, housing and social service agencies, and other appropriate providers. The working group will examine fi.tnding and operational issues and make recommendations for implementing the Clearinghouse/Network. The Meu'opolitan Council will provide staff assistance and direction as needed to enable the working group to complete the planning and development of the Clearinghouse/Network. The Clearinghouse/Network will begin operation within one year of entry of the Decree. 85. After receiving notice from the parties that operation of the Clearinghouse/Network is imminent, HUD shall promptly notify all current owners of HUD-assisted housing in the Metropolitan Area of the existence of the Clearinghouse/Network established herein and encourage them to participate in the Clearinghouse/Network's activities. VIII. AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING: SYSTEMS TO ANALYZE AND OVERCOME IMPEDIMENTS TO METRO WIDE FAIR HOUSING AND LOCATIONAL CHOICE A. Housing Planning Documents. 86. With respect to Consolidated Plan Submissions of Metropolitan Area local governmental units to HUD, HUD shall require each jurisdiction to submit a certification that it will affirmatively further fair housing, which means it will conduct an analysis to identify impediments to fair housing choice within the jurisdiction, take appropriate actions to overcome the effects of any impediments identified through that analysis, and maintain records reflecting the analysis and actions in this regard. The analysis of impediments that the local governmental units certify to conduct shall include identifying their policies which affect opportunities of Page 32 minority, households to select housing in the jurisdiction. In the event HUD subsequently adopts regulations which conflict with the preceding sentence, such subsequent regulations shall prevail. 87. The Metropolitan Council will commence coordinating housing planning documents on a Metropolitan Area-wide basis as soon as feasible following entry of the Decree. To assist units of general local government and other participating jurisdictions to Tulfill their responsibilities to draft and submit such housing planning documents, the Metropolitan Council will: (1) identify the unmet need for affordable housing for low-income households throughout the Metropolitan Area; (2) develop metropolitan and community, indices to serve as standards to encourage appropriate types of local government activities to achieve a metropolitan distribution of affordable housing, alternative housing types and tenure and rehabilitation of existing housing; and (3) assist in the coordination of Metropolitan Area strategies to achieve a metropolitan distribution of affordable housing. Within 60 days of entry of the Decree, HUD wSll retain one of its consultants to perform studies with regard to items (1), (2), and (3) above. The studies will be made available to the other parties. Upon signing of this Decree by the parties, the other parties will begin to review and work with HUD in arriving at a scope of work order for the consultant and in the production of the work. All parties will provide the HUD consultant w/th any relevant data in their possession that is requested. B. Fulfilling Responsibilities To Affirmatively Further Fair Housing. 88. In the event HUD determines that any local government receiving federal funds for housing and urban development is unlawfully impeding or failing to cooperate with proposals by the Minneapolis Defendants to site replacement housing for Minneapolis residents within the local govemmenfs jurisdiction, HUD shall take whatever enforcement action it Page 33 deemsappropriate against that local governmental entity to enforce such obligations, including, but not limited to, judicial enforcement, or suspension, abatement or conditioning of future federal funding, until such time as the jurisdiction complies w/th its obligations. In addition, HUD shall, if it deems it appropriate, refer determinations of non-compliance to other federal executive agencies for review and possible issuance of sanctions with respect to that agency's funding of the recipient, pursuant to Presidential Executive Order 12892 of January 17, 1994 (Leadership and Coordination of Fair Housing in Federal Programs: Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing). HUD shall cooperate with the local parties in developing strategies, including incentives, to encourage cooperation by all suburban jurisdictions, regardless of whether they are currently recipients of HUD funding. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed as obligating HUD to provide funding beyond that which is specifically provided in this decree. 89. HUD shall review annually each Metropolitan Area local government's performance under its Consolidated Plan including specifically, the certification described in paragraph 86 and, where appropriate, under 24 C.F.R. §§ 570.904(c) and 570.601(b). Reviews will include site visits by employees in so far as practicable and evaluation of the government's performance repons. In the event HUD determines that a government's performance violates its legal obligations, HUD shall take whatever enforcement action it deems appropriate including, but not limited to, judicial enforcement, or suspension, abatement or conditioning of future federal funding, until such time as the jurisdiction complies with its obligations. In addition, HUD shall, if it deems it appropriate, refer determinations of non-compliance to other federal executive agencies for review and possible issuance of sanctions with respect to that agency's funding of the recipient, pursuant to Presidential Executive Order 12892 of January 17, 1994. Page 34 90. Within six months after the entry, of the Decree, HUD shall require, to the extent practicable, each Metropolitan Area housing provider that uses a local residency preference with respect to any federally assisted housing, to provide information that HUD may determine to be relevant to an analysis of possible racially discriminatory effects of the preference. Within six months of receipt of the data, HUD shall analyze this, and any other relevant data and determine, for each residency preference, whether the preference has an adverse discriminatory effect with respect to racial minorities. In the event HUD determines that any local residency preference has an adverse discriminatory effect, HUD shall take whatever enforcement action it deems appropriate, which can include requiring the housing provider to eliminate the preference or modi~' it to eliminate the discriminatory effect. 91. For purposes of this Decree, all obligations set out herein apply both to grantees which constitute consortiums of smaller sub-grantees, and each of the sub-grantees themselves. In the case of consortiums where a sub-grantee is failing to fulfill its responsibilities set out herein, the consortium grantee is responsible for ensuring compliance by the sub-grantee, and the consortium grantee may, if necessary, suspend or terminate sub-grants to the sub-grantee. 92. HUD shall send to the Chief Executive Officer of each local governmental jurisdiction in the Metropolitan Area which is a recipient of federal housing and urban development funds a letter, at the beginning of each federal fiscal year, with respect to certain relevant portions of this Decree. The letter shall: 1) encourage jurisdictions to participate in developing housing planning documents with the Metropolitan Council as described in paragraph 87; 2) inform them about the replacement housing provisions in the Decree and the provisions concerning HUD's review of performance under their certifications to affirmatively further fair Page 35 housing; 3) encourage them to enter into cooperation agreements for replacement housing; and 4) advise them that the failure to sign a cooperation agreement will be taken into consideration by HUD in determining whether they are failing to comply with their certifications to affirmatively further fair housing. HUD shall l~rovide the other parties with a copy of this letter and a list of the recipients each year. 93. Although HUD does not concede that any provision of the Decree grants the Court jurisdiction to review any HUD enforcement decision, HUD recognizes its responsibilities under Section 808(e)(5) of the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3608(e)(5)), which requires it to administer its programs in a manner to affirmatively further fair housing, and will make enforcement decisions in a manner that is consistent with that section. C. Metropolitan Area Housing Policy Activities 94. The Metropolitan Council is considering and has a variety of housing policy activities underway which are intended to assist local governmental units meet their statutory responsibility under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 473 to adopt local land use plans and implementation programs for providing adequate opportunities to meet existing and projected local and regional housing needs. These housing policy activities may include: a. a housing profile that looks at each community's share of lower income households, units affordable to those households, forecasts of population and households, household composition and household income distributions, number of subsidized housing units, rent distribution, and housing value distribution; b. an analysis and report on this information; c. an index and analysis of selected variables like low-income households and affordable units establishing a norm and analyzing each community's relationship to the norm; and Page 36 d. a review and analysis of barriers to the production of lower cost housing using existing information. 95. The analysis set out in paragraph 94 may be incorporated into other appropriate Metropolitan Council policy work and may be applied to appropriate Metropolitan Council decisions and recommendations regarding the Metropolitan Council's funding, construction, or approval of regional wastewater and transportation facilities. The Metropolitan Council will redraft its review guidelines for comprehensive plan housing elements to encourage affordable and life cycle housing in local planning and implementation activities and, when the Metropolitan Council determines it is appropriate, it will conduct negotiations with the affected units of local government to determine the steps necessary to facilitate such housing. The Metropolitan Council will prepare affordable housing comments on major regional facility reviews and may undertake work related to recommendations on the rehabilitation and redevelopment process after completing the housing redevelopment and rehabilitation study required under 1994 Minnesota Laws Chapter 577. For the purposes of this paragraph, affordable housing means housing affordable to households of low and moderate income. IX. RELEASE OF CLAIMS 96.

September 1, 1993 REPORT TO THE COMMISSIONERS FROM: Cora McCorvey, Executive Director SUBJECT: Scattered Site Disposition Policy previous D~rectives: Supports agreement with plaintiffs in Hollman, et al. vs. Cisneros, et al.' Resident Council Review/Recommendation: Not applicable. Budget Impact: Long-term lower operating costs by replacing older units with substantial maintenance costs with newer lead-free units. Affirmative Action Compliance: Replacement units will expand housing opportunities for MPHA residents. REC0~4ENDATION: IT IS RECOMJ4ENDEO THAT THE ATTACHED SCATTERED SITE DISPOSITION POLICY BE APPROVED. There are 377 scattered site units in minority identified census tracts, 53% of the MPHA inventory. Of these units, 113 were built before 1960 or have not received major modernization work within the past five years. These are the units that are most likely to need lead paint abatement and substantial rehabilitation. The following disposition policy is recommended: The MPHA will dispose of units within the minority identified census tracts unless there is a compelling reason to preserve the unit. Such compelling reasons include large number of bedrooms (four or more), above average unit features (high quality construction, very functional floor plan), and above average neighborhood amenities (parks, shopping, schools). DOCUMENT staff would conduct and document an evaluation based on the following factors: 1. Estimated rehabilitation and lead paint abatement cost: 2. Number of bedrooms; 3. Floor plan (below average, average, above average); 4. Neighborhood amenities (below average, average, above average); 5. Heating cost, compared to MPHA average by bedroom size; 6. Proximity to other scattered site houses; 7. Opportunity and feasibility of a development project to improve all assisted units and/or other on the block. This evaluation will be completed by October 30, 1993. This report was written by Lisa Kugler. please call 342-1403.

Cisneros Lawsuit As you know, Hollman v. Cisneros is closer and closer to being settled. The parties have signed the proposed consent decree and Judge Rosenbaum will have the final hearing on April 20, 1995. We expect that he will sign the consent decree shortly thereafter. The consent decree contains a number of definitions, including the definition of Minority Concentrated Area and Poverty Concentrated Area: A Minority Concentrated Area is a census tract with a minority population greater than 28.69% (twenty percentage points greater than the percentage of minority population in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Statistical Area). A Poverty Concentrated Area is a census tract in Minneapolis or St. Paul with a population at or below poverty level which is 15 percentage points greater than the percentage below poverty level in the City. In Minneapolis, this means any census tract with a population at or below poverty level of at least 33% of the census tract population and in St. Paul tracts with a poverty population of at least 31.7% of the census tract population. In the suburbs, a tract with a poverty population which is one and one-half times greater than the percentage of population below the Metropolitan Area as a whole is poverty-concentrated. This means that any suburban census tract with a poverty population of at least 12.2% of the census tract population is poverty- concentrated. - 2 - It appears that almost all the replacement housing and the certificates/vouchers used in conjunction with the Mobility Counseling program are to be used in areas which are not poverty- or minority-concentrated. For your information, I have enclosed a listing of the census tracts in the seven-county Metropolitan Area which meet the Hollman definition of either minority- or poverty-concentrated. As each of you begins to work with Legal Aid and the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, you should be aware of these areas and whether there are any census tracts within your jurisdiction which are affected. If you have any questions on this material, please call me at 370-3185 or Internet Jaime_Pedraza@hud.gov.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CIVIL DEFENSE TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Mayor Joseph Sturdevant City Manager, Patrick Hentges Finance Director, William Elrite Library Director, M. Rebecca Loader Acting Police Chief, Leonard Olson Public Works Director, Mark Winson HRA Director, Don Schneider Liquor Store Manager, Phil Suckerman Recreation Department Charles Kewatt, Deputy Civil Defense Director Tornado Awareness Week Drill DATE: April 4, 1995 This memo is to inform you of Tornado Awareness Week activities scheduled for the week of April 24-30, 1995. Those of you who have been issued weather radios should make sure they are turned on at this time and left on throughout the severe weather season. You should inform your employees of the two scheduled tornado drills which will occur on April 27, 1995. The National Weather Service will issue a statewide mock tornado watch at 9:00 A.M. They will then issue a mock tornado warning at 1:45 P.M., at which time the outdoor warning sirens will be activated and all occupants of City buildings should go to their designated shelter area. Employees and patrons are to remain in the shelter area until the all clear is given by the Civil Defense Director, at which time they can return to their normal schedule. This is the appropriate time to refresh your employees about where they should go and what steps they should take when we do have a weather warning. Employees who are routinely outside or on the road should be informed of the proper techniques to protect themselves. The second tornado drill will occur at 6:55 P.M. on the same day. Again, outdoor warning sirens will initiate the drill. This drill will focus on families and second shifts. I ask that you encourage your employees to participate in this drill and, when the sirens sound, to actually take shelter at home in their designated shelter space. Employees working an evening shift can also test their work place sheltering plans. As you may recall, individual communities can now sound their sirens without activating the entire metro area as was the previous situation. This means that when the outdoor warning sirens sound in Columbia Heights, there is an increased chance that the severe weather is actually close to us. mld CD95-020 c: City Council Members CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TO: FROM: DATE: RE: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAT HENTGES, CITY MANAGER MARCH 31, 1995 HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT--PHASE II EFFORTS Attached please find two draft documents that are currently underway relevant to City-wide housing efforts. First, the Community Development Department is assembling a proposal for the development of scattered-site lots throughout the city. If approved, the proposal will be distributed to developers and individuals during April and early May. It is hoped that once the City receive proposals, we can have them approved by mid June. Second, Tina Goodroad, the Zoning/Grant Coordinator is assembling the comprehensive housing inventory and plan. The purpose of this document is to inventory the housing conditions within the City and develop a short and long term strategy to improve the development and condition of Columbia Heights' housing stock. A consultant is also working in unison to identify funding strategies that are available to help implement the various strategies that would be identified in the report. We hope to have the plan totally completed by June, 1995. I appreciate the City Council's comments or questions concerning either of the two documents. Thank you. cb Attachments OUTLINE FOR HOUSING INVENTORY/STUDY Compile and Analyze Housing Condition Information. 1. Analyze existing information of housing conditions from the Fire Department, Building and Zoning Department and the city's address files. 2e Conduct a windshield survey of housing conditions and report the conditions on a rating scale. Be Compare housing condition research and survey's with the Building and Zoning Department's non-conforming dwelling inventory.

Identify and map, based on a value structure, properties with considerable lower values in neighborhood blocks. Summarize Housing Information and Survey's. Identify and define problem housing locations by neighborhood and map these locations. 2. Highlight the analysis of each section into a concise report with reference tables and graphics. 3. Integrate consultant information on housing programs and funding sources. Provide a summary of federal, state, local/region, housing policies that may affect the City's development and implementation of housing programs. Housing Recommendations and Goals. Upon completion of the housing inventory/study, a final section will be made to add a list of goals, priorities and recommendations that could be developed and accomplished over the next five year. This list will be more complete once the data and results are clear from the study. Identify goals, based on the study, of city staff pertaining to scattered site acquisitions-making new home construction possible. Be Based on housing stock and housing needs in the community, develop a strategy to continue neighborhood redevelopment and stabilization activities. Ce Integrate consultant information on housing programs and develop a schedule or phases for utilizing existing funding and applying (through grants) for additional funding. Do Additional priorities, goals and recommendations will be developed as this study is worked through and completed. mo WORK PLAN FOR HOUSING INVEI~ORY/STUDY Compile and Analyze Housing Condition Informatioh: Go through existing information and research on housing conditions from the Zoning Department and Fire Department. Research on a block by block basis the address files in Assessing: This will tell us: age of structure, evaluation of the structure, sq ft, etc. This information can be used to identify older homes-built on or before 1950 and homes that are non-conforming. Values can also be accessed to identify homes of lower values in the neighborhood blocks. Files in the Building Department will tell us what has been done to the structure as far as remolding. If nothing has been done to an older home it may be one to look at. Conduct a windshield survey on homes that we have no information on. Base this survey on a scale: (1) Houses that are non-conforming, numerous code violations, so substandard it could not be brought up to code. (2) Non- conforming, however repairs could be made to make it more livable and lengthen the economic life. (3) Non-conforming use in some way, or needs repairs, without too much difficulty. (4) Houses that are in good condition. Areas to begin looking at: Any blocks with small lots-35 foot lots. Blocks between 37th and 40th, Van Buren-Quincy. Neighborhoods south of the industrial areas. The inventory and research information will be compiled into a table on a block or neighborhood area. 2. Compile Demographic\Population and Housing Information from multiple sources. This information is readily available in the HRA office and on the GIS system at Public Works. Census data will be used to pull together socioeconomic data on the community and neighborhood areas. Legislative information will also be researched. These first two sections of the outline will be worked on concurrently. Once discussion with each department is complete we will be able to determine the length of time and amount of work that needs to be done. I expect the inventory process to take approximately 2-4 weeks.
