The legislation would help ensure that communities and local economies will benefit from the convergence of communications technologies. Attached is a copy of the proposed legislation. The legislation would require all providers of new telecommunications services to: obtain permits and follow minimum standards for the use of local rights-of-way and public property; prohibit "redlining" and uphold nondiscrimination standards for providing services; support community access to voice, video, and information services offered to subscribers at the local level (including public, educational, and government programming); compensate cities for the use of public rights-of-way. At their meeting of February 16, 199:5, the Columbia Height/Hilltop Cable Commission reviewed the proposed legislation and passed a motion recommending that the City Council pass a resolution supporting passage of the Minnesota Emerging Communications Services Act of 1995. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 95-]3 , being a resolution supporting passage of the "Minnesota Emerging Communications Services Act of 1995". COUNCIL ACTION: RESOLUTION 95- 1 3 RF_.$OLUTION SUPPORTING PASSAGE OF THE "MINNESOTA EMERGING COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES ACT OF 1995" WHEREAS, the Columbia Heights/Hilltop Cable Communications Commission ("Commission") is a Joint Powers Commission organized pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 471.59, as mended, and includes the following two municipalities: Columbia Heights and Hilltop (hereinafter "Cities"); and WHEREAS, the Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Columbia Heights and the City of Hilltop authorizes the City of Columbia Heights to enforce and administer the cable communications franchises of the Cities of Columbia Heights and Hilltop; and WHEREAS, the Commission serves in an advisory capacity to the City of Columbia Heights and its responsibility is to monitor the operation and activities of cable communications; to provide coordination of administration and enforcement of the cable franchise; to promote the development of locally produced cable television programming; and to conduct such other activities to ensure equitable and reasonable rates and service levels for the citizens of the Cities; and WHEREAS, it is the intent of the cable franchise to ensure the development and continued operation of a cable communications system so that the Cities may achieve better utilization and improvement of public services and contribute significantly to the communication needs of its residents; and WHEREAS, in pursuit of these goals the Cities have granted to private interests the use of Public Property and Public Rights-of-Way; and WHEREAS, at a regular meeting of February 16, 1995, the Commission endorsed and recommended that the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights endorse the "Minnesota Emerging Communications Services Act of 1995" and encourage its adoption by the Minnesota State Legislature. NOW, THEREFORE, at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, the City Council reviewed the proposed Minnesota Emerging Communications Services Act of 1995, and hereby endorses the proposed legislation and encourages its adoption by the Minnesota State Legislature for the following reasons: FINDINGS 1. Public Property and Public Rights-of-Way are valuable public assets and Local Authorities are entitled to ensure that the public is benefited, compensated, protected, and able to access and share in the use of any Emerging Communications Services that makes use of those Public Rights-of-Way by a private for-profit provider. 2. There is a wide range of persons seeking to use Public Property and the Public Rights-of-Way to deliver video, voice, and data services and all such Persons should be treated similarly by State and Local Authorities. 3. Existing state statutes do not adequately address these Emerging Communications Services. 4. Local Authorities are well equipped to analyze and implement the needs and interests of the local citizen/consumer, and protect taxpayers' investment in Public Property and Public Rights-of-Way.

Obtain permits and comply with minimum state standards and existing local standards for use of Public Property and Public Rights-of-Way. 2. Prohibit redlining and uphold nondiscrimination standards. 3. Support community access to Emerging Communications Services. 4. Oversee the design of local communications infrastructure to ensure the meeting of community needs which includes ensuring that a portion of the public capacity is being delivered on a city, county, and school district specific basis as determined by Local Authorities. 5. Allow Local Authorities to receive compensation for use of Public Property and Public Rights-of-Way. The City further concludes that existing local authority must be implemented with local permitting authority which: 1. Enforces compliance with financial, technical, legal, and connectivity standards. 2. Authorizes local collection of tees to compensate Local Authorities for both the use of and decrease in the value oI Public Property and Rights-of-Way as a result of the construction of and occupancy by Emerging Communications Services. 3. Assures delivery of Emerging Communications Services to Local Authorities and School Districts. This Resolution adopted by the City this__ day of ,1995.

Negotiations between the City negotiating team and PMA have resulted in a mutually acceptable Memorandum of Understanding for calendar years 1995 and 1996. The proposed changes are attached and as follows: Waqes: 1995: 2.75% adjustment over 1994 and change in number of years to maximum of range from 16 years to 15 years 1996: 2.75% adjustment over 1995 Insurance: 1995: $285 per month (1994 = $270 per month) 1996: $300 per month Deferred Compensation: Employer shall pay on a dollar-for-dollar matching basis; $500 per employee for 1995; $500 per employee for 1996 (1994 = $500). Severance Pay: One-third earned and unused sick leave (consistent with other contracts). (Previously less than 10 years employment: 1/4 earned and unused sick leave; after 10 years employment: 1/3 earned and unused sick leave). The total cost package over the two years is 5.7%. Attached is a resolution which would adopt and establish the changes as negotiated for calendar years 1995 and 1996. Also attached is a uniform settlement form. Minnesota Statute 179A.04, Subdivision 3, paragraph (n) requires completion of a Uniform Settlement Form (Form). The Form is applicable to contract negotiations between exclusive representatives and all public employers, other than Townships. The Bureau of Mediation Services (Bureau) is charged with developing the Form and related instructions for compliance with the statute. Pursuant to that charge, the Bureau has adopted the attached Form to meet the requirements of this legislation. The Form is not intended to be a report of a public employer's labor costs or a substitute for the costing by labor or management of their collective bargaining proposals. Its purpose is limited to fulfilling the requirements of Minnesota Statutes 179A.04, Subdivision 3, paragraph (n). It is the intention of this legislation to provide a standard basis for public employers and the public to compare the economic elements of collective bargaining settlements. The attached Form must be presented to the governing body of each public employer at the time it ratifies a collective bargaining contract. The Form must be available for .public inspection during normal business hours within five (5) calendar days after ratification by the public employer. The difference between the percentage change from baseline reflected on the Uniform Settlement Form and the total cost package is attributable to the fact that the form includes cost of movement through the wage schedule. This is not included as a part of the total cost package of the City unless there is a change in the wage schedule (ex., added step, etc.). Thus, if the new dollars for wage schedule movement and the corresponding social security and retirement contribution attributable to the wage schedule movement were subtracted, the change in baseline would be the same as the total cost package. Likewise, if all members of the bargaining unit were at the maximum of their range, the change from baseline and the total cost package would be the same. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 95-]4 , regarding the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Columbia Heights and the Public Managers' Association, effective January 1, 1995 - December 31, 1996.

NOW, THEREFORE, BJ~ IT RESOLVED that the Memorandum of Understanding as negotiated, be and is hereby established as the salary and fringe benefit program for calendar years 1995 and 1996 for Public Managers' Association bargaining unit employees of the City.

CITY COUNCIL L~'TTER Meeting of: February 27, 1995 AGENDA SECTION: ORDINANCES & RESOLUTION~ ~RIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER'S NO: 6 CITY I~ll~I~GER'S J~:~PROVJ~ NO: , o As you are aware, the Community Core Values Program that was initially developed by the Southern Anoka County Community Consortium (SACCC) has fostered support from many facets of the community. A Vision Team has been established and made up of many individuals from a cross section of the communities. Two of those individuals, Bob Guzy of Columbia Heights, and Dave Solomon of Fridley co-chair the government sub-committee. This group has been charged with the effort of promoting the core values within the local government sector. I believe Councilmember Jolly also serves as one of the participants in the government sub-committee. Mr. Guzy has requested that the City adopt the attached resolution providing support for the sub-committee's efforts and embracing the community core values of rempons~bility, inte~rity, cmxing, self-control, respect, non-violence, m.nd citizenship. It is hoped in the future that the sub-committee will offer various program ideas or promotion efforts that will further promote these values in the delivery of government services. For example, coach's training could include a short presentation on how coaches can emphasize these values to the participants in their programs. Another example might be the emphasis of the values by our police officers in informal contacts with young people. Various techniques and approaches to emphasize these values can be developed for role models such as police officers or city officials. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 95-15, regarding support of the Core Community Values Program. COUNCIL ACTION: Resolution 95-15 WHEREAS, the County of Anoka, Cities of Columbia Heights, Fridley and Hilltop and School Districts 14 and 15 established the Southern Anoka County. Com~nity Consortium (SACCC) in 1993; and WHEREAS, SACCC worked in the three communities during 1994 hosting town meetings and circulating surveys for which thousands of citizens participated to identify core community values; and WHEREAS. this community-wide effort in Columbia Heights, Fridley and Hilltop resulted in the selection by citizens of the values of re~onsibility, integrity, oar~g, eel£-~ontrol, respect, nonviolence and citizenship as core community values; WHEREAS, the citizens of these three communities wish to have these core community values embraced and reflected in all sectors of community life and have volunteered their time and energy to reach this goal; and WHEREAS, it is citizens' and SACCC's desire that the City of Columbia Heights adopt these seven core values as part of & Community Values and Assets Program; and W/4EREAS, it is citizens' and ~ACCC's desire that the City of Columbia Heights, in conjunction with the other communities, will promote these seven core values in all aspects of city government and by supporting various community sectors establishing programs on these values. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY T~E CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS as follows: That the core values of responsibility, inte~rity, caring, self-control, respeut, nonviolence and citizenship are the core community values of the City of Columbia Heights, and That the City will work to embrace and reflect these values in all workings and actions taken by the City, and That the City will otherwise support the efforts of various community sectors in the promotion of these seven core values as part of a Community Values and Assets Program. Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights this day of __, 1995.

Community Room 2 is located in the lower level next to the police department. The meeting will start at 4:30 P.M. At the last Vision Committee meeting (January 19th) it was decided to postpone the Values Week Celebration until September. This was based on feedback from the subcommittees. A Values Newsletter was also proposed. It sounds like most of the subcommittees have gotten off to a good start. Enclosed are notes from our previous meeting and a schedule from a Values Week held in Chaska in 1990. Please review for discussion at our February 15th, meeting. AGENDA 2. 3. 4. 5.

We were disappointed with the paragraph that addressed the Southern Anoka County Community Consortium's effort on Rebuilding our Communities' Values (SACCC it to me!). The short article talked about the campaign lacking as the year closed, due to an absence of the general public's participation. It also gave inaccurate information on dates and participating cities. This article is of special concern because we have told the hundred of participants and phone callers to read your newspaper for upcoming events and meetings. The Consortium (made up of the cities of Columbia Heights, Fridley, and Hilltop, their school districts, and Anoka County) has made a tremendous effort to initiate a citizen-driven community building process around rebuilding families and communities through restoring community core values. A lot of effort and planned consideration was given to each of three town meetings held in April, June, and November that drew hundreds of residents from all three communities. As a result of these meetings: Over 130 residents personally signed up to participate on nine different subcommittees that have already started meeting in December and January of this year. Hundreds of ideas, suggestions, and programs were developed by residents to promote the seven values throughout the community. Several of these groups have already begun to brainstorm about what difference they can make in promoting values in our three communities. Janua~ 12, 1995 Page 2 . . ' · A 20-member volunteer Vision Team .(thatwill provide leadership for the project) decided' to ~'~te a Letter to the Editor each month for the Focus Newspaper to keep the public informed about what's happening and how people can get involved in the effort. Thought and discussion is being given to a possible Values Promotion and Celebration Week near the end of April 1995. This is a campaign that is increasing and building excellent public participation. Denny Johnson, a Fridley resident, wrote in his Letter to the Focus Editor in December 1994, '1 can honestly say that I have never experienced or witnessed anything that has more potential than does the core values progr .am for developing a much-needed sense of unity and community.' The Focus Newspaper staff have covered each town meeting. They saw the sincere effort made in designing the meetings to get people's participation and input. A survey was sent out in the Focus Newspaper to every household in all three communities to get people's input on their communities' values. The Consortium and the citizens participating in the effort have asked people to read the Focus for updates, progress, and future meeting times and locations. It appears the staff coverage and understanding of this community-wide effort by anyone reading the "SACCC it to me" article has not been there. In this week's Bill Moyer's program on, 'What Can We Do,' About Violence?" it was clearly pointed out that media surrounds us and our kids with the 'value" of violence. Giving controversial and/or negative stories the biggest headlines and the most coverage mi~ht-'i;. sell newspapers. Promoting violent toys, movies; and video games makes money..Violence sells, b~ it is selling us and our children out! · '- .' " The Community Values Program is unlike any effort these communities in the metro area have ever seen. We would like to meet with you to discuss positive coverage of a very exciting and deeply worthwhile community effort that does have the potential to bring unity and a sense of positive community or, in your own words, a sense of community spirit rekindling. As we look toward 1995's headlines and stories, let's join together to truly make our communities a safer and healthier place to live. If we do not, who will?

Ideas Discussed: Define what we are to promote, i.e., how do we describe values? Many persons wanted us to concentrate on youth programs, with suggestions that good communities need good youth. Don Jolly described the Tempe, Arizona, youth decision- making program. To start, values should be incorporated in existing programs, with an example under a non-violence theme of not having kids participating in video games with violence in them. Reaching members of the community by way of letters to the editor, city newsletter, cable television, communication at Utilization of a humanity award, such as the program in the Heights. Need to ensure we can communicate with members of the community, realizing that some persons in the co--unity read at a second grade level and can't write. We should constantly think of a way to communicate. Values Week during the last week of April is too close. If we have a values week, we better be able to follow up and thus have a plan in place to so follow up. 9. We need to walk the talk. 10. Values should be on everything, i.e., agenda, letterhead, etc.~ : 11. How should the values program be named and should a logo be developed? Both should be developed by a contest utilizing youth. 12. We should look at meeting monthly, varying the meeting times and dates. 13. Discussed the enlargement of the committee to include other members of the community and employees of the county and city.

The City of Columbia Heights, as the rate regulatory authority, has 30 days to review the information and determine whether the proposed rate increase to basic service is within the FCC's standards for updating basic service rates. Meredith's request would result in the basic rate changing as follows: Current Effective 4/1{95 Basic .Service Other Franchise Fees $7.48 $7.63 1.96 Total Basic $9.44 $9.46 If the rate regulatory authority determines additional time is needed to ensure that the proposed increase is within the FCC's standards, the rate regulatory authority may toll the period for review of the rates for an additional 90 days. At their meeting of February 16, 1995, the Columbia Heights/Hilltop Cable Commission passed a motion recommending that the City Council toll the initial 30 day period for an additional 90 days, and permit the basic increase to go into effect April 1, 1995, subject to rollback and refunds. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the order, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt the order tolling the initial thirty day period for the review of the proposed rates and other entries on the amended FCC Form 1210 for an additional 90 days in order to complete an assessment of the proposed increase and issuing an interim order permitting the basic increase to go into effect April 1, 1995, subject to rollback and refunds. COUNCIL ACTION: ORDER REGARDING THE TOLLING PERIOD FOR THE REVIEW OF PROPOSED RATE INCREASE SUBMITTED BY MEREDITH CABLE COMPANY TO THE CITY ON FEBRUARY 10, 1995 WHEREAS, the City of Columbia Heights "City" is certified as a rate regulatory authority pursuant to roles of the Federal Communications Commission (hereinafter "FCC"), WHEREAS, the City has notified Meredith Cable Company (hereinafter "Company") that the Company is subject to the rate regulatory authority of the City, WHEREAS, the City has received from the Company a FCC Form 1210 "Update Form", dated February 10, 1995, WHEREAS, the Form 1210 ~ing implicates the City's authority to regulate basic service rotes in requesting an increase in the Company's maximum permitted basic service rate, on a going forward basis, WHEREAS, the City has determined that it needs additional time to review FCC Form 1210 to ensure that the proposed rates are within the FCC standards for updating basic service rates, WHEREAS, said additional time is required to solicit, receive, and analyze additional information related to said review by the City and staff. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED by the City of Columbia Heights that the initial thirty (30) day period for the review of the proposed rates and other entries on the amended FCC Form 1210 is hereby tolled for an additional ninety (90) days. FURTHER, that this Order shall be effective immediately, however, the tolling period shall not begin until the expiration of the initial thirty (30) day period. FURTHER, that the Company is permitted to put the basic rate increase into effect April 1, 1995, subject to rollback and refunds. ORDERED THIS __ DAY OF FEBRUARY, 1995. Offered by: Seconded by: Roll call: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Jo-Anne Student, Council Secretary Joseph Sturdevant, Mayor 1 1, 11Meredith Cable Kevin C. Griffin President & General Manager 934 Woodhil[ Dnve Rosevil!e, MN 55113 February 10, 1995 Chairman Dennis Stroik Columbia Hei§hts/Hilltop Cable Commission 3938 Polk Street NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 (Fax) 612/483-9184 612/483-3233 FEB ~_ 0 1995 Dear Chairman Stroik: Please be advised that Meredith Cable will be adjusting rates for both the Basic and Preferred Service levels beginning April 1, 1995. Basic rates will go from $7.48 to $7.63 before franchise fees and the FCC regulatory fee, the Other Franchise (PEG) Fee will go from $1.96 to $1.83 and the Prefe_r[..ed rate will go from $12.12 to $12.88 before franchise fees. The Late Fee assessment will go from $4.50 to $5.00. Equipment rates are not being adjusted at this time. The Basic Rate is being increased as a result of inflation for the time period of September 30, 1993 to June 30, 1994 and changes in our basic programming expenses. The Other Franchise Fees are being lowered due to the growth of subscribers in your area. FCC Form 1210 and a summary of Other Franchise Fee costs are enclosed for your review. As you know, your commission regulates our Basic rate (inclusive of the Other Franchise Fee) and equipment rates. You must either approve or deny our proposed increase, or adopt a tolling order, within 30 days. The FCC regulates our Preferred Service rate. The Preferred Service rate goes into effect upon 30 days notice to the FCC, the local cable commission and our subscribers. Historically, Meredith has implemented rate adjustments at the same time for all tier levels. This has proven to be much less confusing to subscribers and is more efficient. Therefore, I would like to request that Meredith be allowed to implement the new rates for Basic and Other Franchise Fees at the same time we adjust our Preferred tier on April 1, 1995. Specifically, in the event the Commission has not completed its assessment of the proposed increase and/or decrease within the initial 30-day review period, we would request that the Commission adopt both a tolling order permitting the Commission to continue its review of the increase and an interim order permitting the basic increase to go into effect April 1, 1995, subject to rollback and refunds. Meredith Ltr./Stroik February 10, 1995 Page Two will keep records regarding payments of the increased rate so that, in the unlikely event that the Commission's review subsequently concludes that a rollback and refunds are warranted, refunds can be made back to April 1, 1995. Meredith will follow the s~me plan for implementing refunds and interest as described in the refund plan submitted to you last year. I have attached a copy of the letter and rate information that is being sent to our subscribers in your area for your ~n[ormation. Should you desire further information please feel free to contact me directly. Sincerely, Kevin C. Griffin KCG/grs Attachments cc: L. Magee Tom Creighton, Esq.

We appreciate your business and remain committed to providing you with the best customer service possible. Should we ever fail to meet your expectations, please bring it to our attention so we can do our best to correct the situation. -' An important part of our commitment to our customers is keeping you informed of changes that will affect your cable service and rates. During 1995, Meredith Cable will make changes to rates and the channel lineup. These changes will come in a couple of stages with the first one beginning in April of this year. Effective with your April, 1995 cable bill, th.e rates for Basic cable service and Preferred cable service will be adjusted in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Federal Commtmications Commission. The adjustments we are permitted to make are the result of inflation over the nine month period encompassing September 30, 1993 to June 30, 1994 and changes in our programming expenses. The specific rate adjustment(s), and a listing of all rates in your community are detailed on the enclosed chart. That chart also lists the name and address of your local franchise authority who regulates basic cable rates. The FCC Cable Services Bureau's phone number and address are also listed as they regulate our Preferred Service. You have a right to file a complaint with them within 45 days of the Preferred Service increase first being reflected on your bill. In addition, Meredith Cable is exploring the opportunity of adding another service or two of programming to the cable lineup sometime in the near future. That addition will be followed by a realignment of the entire channel lineup in early summer. The result of these two actions will be expanded and improved viewing options that we hope you, the customer, will enjoy. We are also pleased to remind you that our customer service representatives are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This extensive customer service is only one of the many ways we strive to provide a prompt, professional response to your needs. Thank you for spending your entertainment dollars with Meredith Cable.

In conjunction with this training, another topic of training became available regarding family group conferencing. This is the concept of providing a police generated forum of young juvenile offender, parent(s), and victim within the same meeting. This new approach is another crime prevention tool to divert the young offender early on. To provide this service to our community, permission is requested to send Sergeant William Roddy to attend training in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on March 22, 23, and 24, 1995. Numerous Anoka City teachers and Anoka police representatives will also be attending, and rates are reasonable based upon the three-day, four-night stay. The police budget contains funds to pay for the following: Round trip air fare $259; training tuition $300; food $109; and lodging $288, all of which is based upon three days and four nights. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the police department to send Sergeant William Roddy to attend a three-day training session in Family Group Conferencing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, March 22, 23, and 24; and to authorize the expenditures from budgeted police department funds. 95-050 COUNCIL ACTION: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIOHTS AUTHOJ~I7-~kTION RF.~U~ST FOR CONFF=.RF.~ WORKSHOPS, This completed form must be presented to the City Manager by the Monday preceding the regular Council Meeting fo~ approval of attendance.

Due to the long wheel base of the current vehicle, there have been several incidents that have resulted in body damage to the vehicle.

MAW:jb 95-094 COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETI'ER Meeting of: 2/27/95 AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO. 9 PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS TO BY: M. Winson BYi, No. ACQUn LAWN SW E?ER Cl DA : 2/21/95 DA The Park maintenance staff has indicated a need to acquire a small self-powered lawn sweeper to use in park cleanup. Currently we use large sweepers pulled behind tractors to clean debris from the park. These large sweepers are very efficient for cleaning large open spaces but we still have to use manual labor to pick up around trees and other obstructions. The use of a small, more maneuverable power sweeper to clean these obstructed areas will greatly reduce the time spent collecting trash in the parks. Funding for acquiring a sweeper was discussed during the budget preparation process and it was indicated that funding would be provided in the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund, but this item does not appear in the final budget. Staff is requesting authorization to seek bids for the lawn sweeper using Tractor #283 which is a 1970 Ford 3000 tractor as a trade-in. The acquisition of a new Ford tractor in 1993 has greatly reduced the need for #283. Staff would attempt to use the trade-in value of #283 as the majority of the cost of a sweeper and use savings in other equipment acquisitions to cover this difference. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staff to seek bids for a self-powered lawn sweeper using tractor//283 as a trade-in.

I request the Council review this, and if you have any additional items or comments on the report, please advise me early next week. I will update the report and resubmit it to you on Friday, March 3rd. 3) 1994 ANNUAL REPORT The 1994 Annual Reports will be distributed to the City Council on Friday, March 3rd. 4) STATUS OF THE CITY'S SPECIAL TAX INCREMENT FINANCING Columbia Heights' special bill calling for a waiver of HACA/LGA penalties has been introduced to the House of Representatives and presented to the Senate. I have testified before the House Local Government Operations Committee, whereby the bill was passed along to the Tax Committee. Last Monday, I testified before the House Tax Committee, whereby the bill was laid over for future consideration to be included in the overall Tax Bill. Representative Ann Rest questioned the local match and the amount of LGA/HACA dollars to be waived in comparison to the amount of local dollars invested in the project. We'll be meeting with Representative Rest individually to discuss her concerns. The Senate Tax Committee is expected to review Senator Novak's companion bill later in March. 5) RECREATION DIRECTOR APPOINTMENT To date, we have received considerable interest concerning the Recreation Director position. The application period closes on Monday, February 27th. The Park and Recreation Board had asked for an opportunity to be involved in the selection process. As I envision the process now, ten finalists will be qualified for staff interviews. That group will be narrowed down to three or four persons. These individuals will be brought in for final interviews, a tour of the city, a briefing of the recreation program, and to meet the Park and Recreation Board. With the input from the Park and Recreation Board, I will make a final selection for the position. I expect that the selection process could be completed in March, and the person would be on board in April. 6) CABLECASTING OF COUNC1L MEETINGS Council meetings held at Murzyn Hall will not be cablecast live due to technical and logistical impracticability, but rather will be rebroadcast at the following times: Tuesday and Thursday Saturday and Sunday Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 10:00 A.M. 4:00 P.M. 6:30 P.M. The special meeting of Tuesday, February 28, will be rebroadcast at the following times: 7) Wednesday, March 1 and March 8 Thursday, March 2 and March 9 Saturday, March 4 and March 11 Sunday, March 5 and March 12 CITY/FIRST CHOICE SPONSORED OPEN HOUSE 4:00 P.M. 7:00 P.M. 8:00 P.M. 8:00 P.M. Approximately fifty local officials and business community members attended an advanced Open House preview of the model home at Fillmore/47th Avenue in the Heritage Heights Addition. The Mayor cut the ribbon and the invited guests were given an advance tour of the home. It is my understanding that the interest level and activity for the house has been extensive. My understanding that a purchase agreement at least one of the lots is expected to be signed this weekend. I will keep the Council apprised of the sale activity in the development. Enclosed is a copy of the Parade of Homes listing for the house. cb 95/16 Z n~ <,- m< > eel eel I -- n~ > Revised Date: 2-17-95 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS SHEFFIELD REDEVELOPMENT TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PROJECT PROFILE COLUMBIA HEIGHTS CHARACTERISTICS: Median value of homes: $73,600 -Columbia Heights; $89,311 - Metro area Housing units built before 1960: 54.8% - Columbia Heights; 40% - Metro area Median household income: $30,469 - Columbia Heights; $36,678 - Metro area Per capita property tax capacity: $487 - Columbia Heights; $848 -Metro area Percent of support by LGA/HACA: 45% - % of General fund; 53% - % of levy/aids Percent of housing that is affordable: 29% - Columbia Heights; 27% - Total Metro Area SHEFFIELD PRE-REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (~HARACTERISTICS: Location: 12 Block neighborhood in center of city Adjacent to high school and elementary school Adjacent to highly visible Central Avenue Housing stock: Over 95% of dwellings are 35 years or older 239 residential buildings, totaling 518 dwelling units Over 45% of the buildings are dt~plexes with same design/appearance Over 45% of dwellings units are ',absentee landlord/rental in nature Over 60% of all dwellings are classified as affordable units Housing problems: Property values decreased 10% to 20% in neighborhood Landlord mismanagement resultell in troublesome tenants Exceedingly high vacancy rate/tei~ant turnover 24% dwellings declared substandard Crime problems: Neighborhood consumed over 25% of the City's police calls Neighborhood was source of over 50% of all residential police calls 37 arrests for narcotics (mostly for crack cocaine) TAX INCREMENT ACTIVITIES: Purchase/removal of 30 substandard properties (mostly vacant dwellings) Relocation of tenants (some to other neighborhood dwellings) Site preparation/design cost Construction of 18 market rate homes (aimed at entry level/second time home buyers) Rehabilitation assistance for 10 private ownership dwellings Construction of 5 homes (aimed at first time/low to moderate buyers) TAX INCREMENT FINANCING: Project budget - $2,000,000 (mostly for acquisition) 50% of the project funding are City Funds.
