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 MI~/DOT 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. At the April 10, 1995, City Council meeting, this item was continued to the April 24th Council meeting. At the April 24th meeting, this item was tabled to May 5th, then to tonight's meeting. On May 17th, Phil Keen of MN/DOT said they would give the City of Columbia Heights a Quit Claim Deed to the east 7 feet of the vacated alley as soon as we send them a copy of the passed Ordinance. The Quit Claim Deed will be to the City; therefore, Section 2 of Ordinance 1299 will need to be amended to state that. Per Jim Hoeft, the first reading on March 13, 1995, can still stand since the amended portion does not change the intent of the Ordinance. A third reading is not necessary. Once the City receives the Quit Claim Deed from MN/DOT, we will deed the east 7 feet to the properties adjacent to the west 7 feet of the vacated alley. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the second reading of the ordinance, there being ample copies available to the public. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Ordinance No. 1299, an Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 853 City Code of 1977, Vacating a Certain Alley Easement. COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 1299 WITH REVISED SECTION 2. ORDINANCE NO. 1299 BEING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE N0.853 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, 19, 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.

Ruettimann City 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 I thru 15, Block 91, Columbia Heights Annex to Minneapolis). Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance, please call me at 782-2814.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 30, 1995 AGENDA SECTION: ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER'S NO: ~ CITY MANAGER' S APPROVA___L NO: , , DATE: 5-23-95 ~)~ · On May 1, 1995, City staff received notice from Meredith Cable 'indicating their intent to adjust basic and preferred rates effective July 1, 1995. This rate adjustment is a result of information released from the FCC, allowing an inflation adjustment of 5.21% instead of the 2.15% taken in April. Meredith intends to change rates to reflect the remaining inflation adjustment effective July 1, 1995; Meredith will not retroactively adjust subscribers' rates for April through June, 1995. Meredith's request would result in the basic rate changing as follows: Previous Current Effective 4-1-95 Requested Effective 7-1-95 Basic Service Other Franchise Fees $7.48 $7.63 $7.85 $1.96 $1.83 $1.83 Total Basic $9.44 $9.46 $9.68 The Columbia Heights City Council (rate regulatory authority) have a 30 day period to review and approve or deny the increase. If the review cannot be completed within the 30 day period, the City can adopt an order tolling the review for an additional 90 days. If a tolling order is adopted, Meredith requests the City adopt an interim order permitting the basic increase to go into effect July 1, 1995, subject to rollback and refunds. At their meeting of May 18, 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 July 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 July 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 MAY 1, 1995 WHEREAS, the City of Columbia Heights "City" is certified as a rate regulatory authority pursuant to rules 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 May 2, 1995, WHEREAS, the Form 1210 filing implicates the City's authority to regulate basic service rates 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 July 1, 1995, subject to rollback and refunds. ORDERED THIS __ DAY OF MAY, 1995. Offered by: Seconded by: Roll call: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Joseph Sturdevant, Mayor Jo-Anne Student, Council Secretary Meredith Cable Kevin C. Griffin President & General Manager 934 Woodhill Drive Roseville, MN 55113 (fax) 612/483-9184 612/483-3233 May 1, 1995 Chairman Dennis Stroik Columbia Heights/Flilltop Cable Commission C/O 3938 Polk Street NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 Dear Chairman Stroik: As you know, on April 1, 1995 Meredith Cable raised thc rates for our Basic and Preferred. levels of service, as well as lowering the rate for the PEG Fee. The increases for Basic and Preferred were done in accordance with FCC regulations, and reflected increases in external programming charges and inflation. The inflation taken by Meredith Cable was for the time period of September 30, 1993 to June 30, 1994 and was 2.15%. The Columbia Heights/Hilltop Cable Commission was notified of these changes on February 10, 1995. On March 8, 1995, the FCC released a set of Questions and Answers on Cable Television Rate Regulation addressing issues related to inflation adjustments by "transition rate" systems, such as Meredith. The Q & A indicates that Meredith was entitled to take an inflation adjustment of 5.21% instead of the 2.15% adjustment taken in April. The Q & A goes on to point out that we are actually allowed to recover inflation from September of 1992, and that the figure of 5.21% represents that time frame. Meredith plans on changing its rates to reflect the remaining inflation adjustment effective July 1, 1995; Meredith will ngt retroactively adjust subscribers rates for April through June of 1995. In order to calculate the full 5.21 percent inflation adjustment of our rates, we are revising our initial Form 1210 (using the FCC's March, 1995 version of the form). This approach avoids calculating inflation on inflation, which would be the case if we simply took the Form 1210 rate calculated for April 1, 1995 and adjusted it upward by the rest of the inflation to which we are entitled. The following summarizes the changes in the Basic and Preferred rams: 4/1/95 7/1/95 BASIC $7.63 $7.85 PREFERRED $12.88 $13.13 Ltr./Chairman Sla-oik May 1, 1995 Page Two You may recall that we have already submitted a revised 1210 Form (reflecting the full 5.21 percent inflation) to the FCC. The only notification required for the Preferred service increase is to provide a letter to the FCC indicating that, beginning July 1, 1995, our Preferred service rates will be adjusted to reflect the full inflation. I would like to request that Meredith be allowed to implement the new rate for Basic at the same time as we adjust our Preferred tier on July 1, 1995. Meredith 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 luly 1, 1995. The same plan for implementing refunds and interest as described to you before would be followed in tiffs event. I would also like to inform you that the FCC has ruled on the must carry status of KXLI, channel 41, and has infonned us that we will be required to can'), them. As a result of their decision, we will be dropping The Nostalgia Network from cable channel 68 to make room for the carriage of KXLI beginning June 1, 1995. We are pleased to let you know that we will be able to do a full re-alignment of our channel line-up on August 1, 1995 and begin the implementation of Universal Service. I've attached a copy of the channel line-up that will go into effect on August 1 for your information. We will also keep the Commission up to date on our plans for subscriber notification on this issue. On July 1, 1995, just prior to the re-alignment, Meredith plans on adding The Home & Garden channel, that effective August 1, 1995 Meredith will replace Prime Sports Network with ESPN II, and begin carriage of The History Channel on May 1, 1995. Should you desire further information or have any questions please feel free to contact me directly. Sincerely, Kevin C. Griffin KCG/grs Attachments cc: Linda Magee, Asst. to City Mgr.

All information gathered with this application request will be compiled in a computer system designed for the fire service.

Enclosed is the new License Application plus an explanation/rationale of the items required on the Rental Housing License Application. This License Application will cover the period from March IT 1995 thru February. 28~ 1996.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting off 5/30/95 AGENDA SECTION: COMMUNICATIONS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER NO. 7 PUBLIC WORKS ITEM: CENTRAL AVENUE MEDIAN FENCING BY: K. Y°ung ~,o BD~~. As directed by the City Council, staff has contacted Mn/DOT, the School District, City of Hilltop and business owners adjacent to Central Avenue requesting comments with regard to removing the fencing. To date, the following responses have been received: Date From Summary 1. May 2 Hilltop Hilltop is concerned for the safety of pedestrians and agrees that the fence is an eyesore but will not make a recommendation. 2. May 4 School District School district does not support the idea based on an increased potential for school-age pedestrian accidents. 3. May 17 Central Barber The business owner does not support the idea based on an increased potential for pedestrian Stylists accidents. 4. May 22 Mn/DOT Mn/DOT does not support the idea based on an increased potential for pedestrian accidents. Mn/DOT will obtain pedestrian counts and may reconsider based on counts and documentation that removal of fence is acceptable to all parties involved. Final decision may be available by June 12. Based on the comments to date, it appears some sort of barrier will remain in place. Staff has discussed three alternatives and would appreciate your comments at the meeting. Staff can then address these possibilities with Mn/DOT. 1. Remove chain link fence and extend existing guard rail. Remove chain link fence and install new chain link fence with 12" to 18" of clearance at bottom. This should minimize trapping debris at the base. 3. Remove chain link fence and install ornamental fencing similar to the railing on Central Ave. by Rainbow. Both options I and 3 may require contribution of local funds above the cost of a chain link fence.

May 2, 1995 Mr. Mark Winson, Director of Public Works City of Columbia Heights 590 40th Avenue NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 Re: Central Avenue Median Fence Dear Mr. Winson, In response to your request, the Hilltop City Council discussed your possible removal of the above referenced fencing at its meeting last night. During the discussion, several comments were made regarding safety concerns for school children and other pedestrians who may start crossing Central Avenue at places other than intersections, if the fencing is removed. The Council also agreed that the fencing has become an eyesore due to its deteriorating condition and debris collection. Since the decision and responsibility to remove or replace the fencing ultimately rests with Columbia Heights, the Council did not feel it was appropriate for them to issue a recommendation or anything more conclusive than an expression of the above mentioned concerns. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 571-2023. Sincerely, Ruth J. Nelsen City Clerk p.s. Congratulations on your new job. It has been my pleasure to work with you during the past few years. I appreciate the help you have been able to provide. Good luck!

In your correspondence you request our opinion of removal of the fencing on the median of Central Avenue from 48th Avenue to 51st Avenue. The following represents the feeling of several District administrators and myself and, therefore, are certainly not founded on a knowledge base of pedestrian safety measures. Our discussions, however, have revolved around student safety issues in that many young people who attend Central Middle School do utilize the pedestrian bridge at Central and 49th Avenues. I fear that some of these young people would be tempted to cross Central at inappropriate locations. The current fencing does deter pedestrians from crossing the highway except at the intersection of Central and 49th. If I can be of further assistance, please contact me at 574-6507.

May 22, 1995 Kathyjean Young Assistant City Engineer City of Columbia Heights 590 40th Avenue North East Columbia Heights, Mn 55421-3878 Dear Kathyjean Young: This letter is in response to Mark Winson's letter of April 26, 1995, regarding removal of the fence in the median of Central Avenue from 48th Avenue to 51st Avenue. At this time the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) does not support removal of the fence based on the increased potential for pedestrian accidents. The number of pedestrian accidents for this length of roadway is probably a little above average but not too unusual considering the volume of traffic on TH 65. It is difficult to say if the fence is a deterrent to pedestrians without knowing the actual pedestrian counts for this two block section. Mn/DOT will obtain pedestrian counts for the adjacent at-grade crossing and the pedestrian bridge to evaluate the potential for uncontrolled or midblock crossing if the fence were removed. We expect it to take approximately three weeks to obtain these counts. At that time we will inform you of our decision. The following is a summary of the pedestrian accidents in this area. From January 1, 1992 through December 31, 1994 there were four pedestrian accidents between 47th Avenue and 51 st Avenue on TH 65. The chain link fence in the median extends from the frontage road leg (left), approximately 275 feet north of 47th Avenue N.E., to 50th Avenue N.E. Of the four accidents the two most serious, a fatal and an incapacitating injury, occurred between 47th Avenue and the frontage road leg (left), which is the block just south of the southern most fence. The other two accidents were possible injuries. One of these occurred at the intersection of 49th Avenue N.E. and the other occurred about 200 feet north of 50th Avenue N.E. This one was beyond the northerly limits of the north fence. There were no accidents adjacent to the chain link fence. An Equal Opportunity Employer Kathyjean Young May 22, 1995 Page Two If Mn/DOT were to allow removal of the fence based on the pedestrian counts, we will need documentation that removal of the fence is acceptable to the city of Columbia Heights, City of Hilltop, school district and the property owners adjacent to this section of TH 65.

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. At the April 10, 1995, City Council meeting, this item was continued to the April 24th Council meeting.

COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: May 30, 1995 AGENDA SECTION: Old Business NO. 8 ITEM: Award of Police Non-patrol NO. Vehicle ~.~. ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT POLICE BY: l~onard M. Olson DATE: May 19, 1995 CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: DATE: Efforts to downsize the Police Department's unmarked vehicles will provide for a more cost effective means of transportation for staff and investigative use. With Council permission, three full-size unmarked Ford LTD's were entered in the City of Columbia Heights spring bicycle auction. The goal was to sell the three to recoup funds to purchase a downsized staff vehicle. Total funds from the sale amounted to $11,100. To develop information to purchase a down-sized automobile, two avenues of thought were explored; one was to find a late model dealer program car (lease or rental return), and the other to research the possible purchase of a new automobile. The new car purchase is based upon the existing discounts available through government bidding contracts. The list is based upon informal bid pricing for fully equipped program cars. Prices invariably paralleled existing vehicle mileages. The new car possibility is based upon the existing state contract M9538 and the availability of only one remaining vehicle comparatively equipped. The Hennepin County contract dealer had no comparably equipped automobiles remaining. The equipment includes power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, tilt steering, etc. Superior Ford '94 Ford Taurus 4-door sedan 20,000 miles $12,368 Walser Chev.

Lumina 4-door sedan 28,000 miles $13,000 Polar Chev. '95 Chev. Lumina 4-door sedan new $14,989 Based upon informal bid pricing, the CFL Leasing Company purchase would be least costly; however, there would be no warranty available. Should there be an interest in the purchase of a new vehicle, the state contract dealer, Polar Chev, has an offering and would provide the new car warranty of three years or 36,000 miles.

Rebecca Loader ~'.~ DATE: May 17, 1995 CITY MANAGER APPROVAL BDYATE.~~-- In the 1995 budget the library has $6,500 in line item #5170 to purchase a copier for departmental use. The library currently owns a Gestetner 2240Z copier which was purchased in 1988 for $4,814.23. The Gestetner has 414,441 copies registered on the counter as of 5/15/95, which averages out to about 60,000 per year. The service contract costs $800/40,000 copies and includes a set amount of supplies. This machine has experienced numerous breakdowns and repairs since it was purchased. It is unreliable and cannot handle either long runs or dual-sided copies well. It has averaged three service calls per month over the past three months. Replacement needs to be considered because of: 1. Age of the machine 2. Rising cost of maintenance agreement for an old machine 3. Frequency of break-downs It is the intent of staff to examine various models of machines, types of options (including leasing), and copiers available through State/County contracts to determine what features are necessary to meet the library's copying requirements most effectively. Staff has looked at some options prior to requesting permission to seek quotes and has come to the conclusion that a mid-range copier would be suitable for most library copy jobs with major copying hms being reserved for the Kodak copier at City Hall. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staff to obtain quotations for purchase and installation of departmental copier at library. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Meeting of: May 30, 1995 AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL ITEM: MHFA FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER BY: Tina Goodroa~ BY: ~ MINNESOTA CITY PARTICIPATION PROGRAM~%6~ DATE: May 15, 1995 v - (MCPP) The HRA/City has been invited by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) to participate in the 1995-96 Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP) first time homebuyer program. Since starting to participate in this yearly program in 1991, 84 loans have been completed for a total of $5,787,331. These loans with reduced interest rates are enabling 84 low to moderate income first time homebuyers to purchase homes in Columbia Heights. In prior years, under the MHFA MCPP, HRA's and/or cities could apply for a specific allocation amount for providing loans at reduced interest rates (1 to 1 1/2% below market mortgage interest rates). The 1995 program is expected to have $43.75 million available for the program, however, the allocation rules have changed. This year's allocation will be based on a per capita allocation. This is roughly estimated at $34.00 per resident X 18,910 residents (1990 census) = $642,940. This would be sufficient for approximately 9 loans. However, this will depend upon the number of cities that apply and what their total population base is. MHFA is asking cities to either specify a dollar allocation request or indicate a request for the "maximum allowable." This year, based on past experience with this program and high expectation of usage this year, the HRA is applying for $2,000,000. This should provide sufficient mortgage money through participating lenders for 27 loans at an average of $74,074 per loan. Information about the program and a copy of the proposed application are enclosed for your information in appendix A and Appendix B. The HRA will furnish the necessary $400 (or lesser amount if HRA/City is funded for less than the $2,000,000) processing fee and the necessary 1% proposal deposit which will be refunded upon sale of bonds for the program. The processing fee is $20.00 for every $100,000 of the MCPP funds allocated for the HRA/City. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to grant approval (concurrence) for the Housing and Redevelopment Authority to apply for an allocation of up to $2,000,000 from the Minnesota Finance Agency Minnesota City Participation Program (First Time Homebuyer Program) and, if successful in securing an allocation, to provide the necessary City/HRA involvement in the program. cc: HRA Commissioners COUNCIL ACTION: \bt\council.for Housing & Redevelopment Authority of Columbia Heights 590 N.E. 40th Avenue, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 Fax: (612) 782-2857.

It is bordered by the cities of Minneapolis (south), Fridley (north and west), and St. Anthony and New Brighton (east). The city encompasses approximately 3.7 square miles and has a population of 18,910. (Source: 1990 U.S. Census) The City is characterized by its predominance of housing. below provides a breakdown of the city's housing inventory. (Source: 1990 U.S. Census). The table Total Owner- Renter- Unit Type Units Vacant Occupied Occupied Single-Family 5,634 101 5,053 480 Multi-Family 2,280 108 385 1,787 Mobile Home or Trailer 5 0 4 1 Other 56 0 23 33 7,975 209 5,465 Percentage 2% 69% 2,301 29% - 1 of 6 - Minnesota City Participation Program City of Columbia Heights III. HOUSING PLAN (cont.) Much of the City's housing stock is aging and such issues as mainte- nance have become an ever increasing problem. Columbia Heights has a significant percentage of its housing stock which is more than 30 years old. The table below provides a distribution of the housing stock for selected years. (Source: 1990 U.S. Census) Year Built Number of Units Percentage of Housinq Stock 1959 to 1950 1949 to 1940 1239 and Older Total Housing Units = 2,498 31% 782 10% 1,161 15% 4,441 56% 7,975 In addition, the City's population is also aging. Between 1980 and 1990 the total number of persons age 65 and older increased 70% from 1,996 to 3,381. During the same period the number of housing units occupied by owners over the age of 65 also increased from 837 to 1,427. As these owners grow older, they find maintaining their homes to be a greater burden, both physically and financially. The table below shows the tenure by age of householder (Source: 1990 U.S. Census). Age Occupied Owner Renter Cateqory Units % Occupied % Occupied % 15 - 24 yrs. 314 4% 73 1.3% 241 10.5% 25 - 34 yrs. 1,622 20.9% 889 16.3% 733 31.9% 35 - 44 yrs. 1,436 18.5% 1,029 18.8% 407 17.7% 45 - 54 yrs. 1,115 14.4% 908 16.6% 207 9.0% 55 - 64 yrs. 1,276 16.4% 1,130 20.7% 146 6.3% 65 - 74 yrs. 1,167 15.0% 962 17.6% 205 8.9% 75+ 836 10.8% 474 8.7% 362 15.7% 7,766 5,465 2,301 Perhaps the most telling statistic is the number of owner-occupied householders over the age of 55 and the number of renter-occupied householders under the age 55. Based on the data shown above, almost 1/3 of all owner-occupants are over age 55, while 2/3 of all renter occupants are in the 15 - 54 age category. - 2 of 6 - Minnesota city Participation Program City of Col~mbia Heights III. HOUSING PLAN (cont.) In response to these trends, the City adopted the following Housing Plan (Source: 1992 Columbia Heights Comprehensive Plan Update): Goals and Policies: Goal: Goal: Maintain and enhance the quality of the single-family detached housing stock and the neighborhoods in which it is located. Upgrade and improve attractive multiple-family housing for those segments of the population that cannot afford or do not desire to live in detached housing. Since Columbia Heights is predominately residential, the City regards the preservation and enhancement of the housing stock as its most important task. ae Sinqle-Family Code Enforcement: The city shall strive to maintain the physical quality of single-family housing through Code enforcement. Be Ce Spot Clearance: The City shall remove and replace the most seriously deteriorated single-family houses so that they do not continue to harm the value of nearby housing. Multiple-Family Housinq Maintenance Standards: The City shall maintain minimum standards for multiple housing through a program of regular inspections and Code enforcement. De Housinq Assistance: The City shall continue to provide adequate housing programs. Equal Opportunity: The City shall continue to promote and protect equal housing opportunity in publicly assisted and private housing. Neiqhborhood Protection: The City shall work to protect the integrity and long-term viability of its neighbor- hoods and strive to reduce the potential negative effects of nearby commercial or industrial development through zoning, site plan reviews and Code enforcement. Go Site Maintenance: The City shall strictly enforce its municipal regulations pertaining to yard and building maintenance so as to protect residential property values. He Land Use Plan: Land uses that are inconsistent with the Land Use Plan and incompatible with housing will be improved or removed over time where possible and the land reused in conformance with the Land Use Plan. - 3 of 6 - Minnesota city Participation Program City of Columbia Heights III. HOUSING PLAN (cont.) Multiple-Family Housinq Standards: The city shall enforce high standards for all multiple-family housing development. Included will be aspects of building massing, parking location, access, traffic impact, landscaping exterior architectural design, fencing, trash handling and parking ratios. Alternative Housinq: The City shall promote the develop- ment of medium density, owner-occupied and rental housing for one and two-person households. This would provide an opportunity for large households to acquire housing made available by the one and two person households owning detached single-family housing. Duplexes: The city shall allow "zero-lot-line" duplex units to encourage individual ownership of the units. Architectural Desiqn: The design of new housing on infill and redevelopment sites should be compatible in scale, materials, and rooflines with any single-family housing on the same block or immediate vicinity. Financial Tools: The City will continue to use such tools as mortgage revenue bonds, tax increment financing and the Community Development Block Grant Program (along with either public funding source as may be available) to assist decent, affordable housing in the community, especially the elderly. The City will enter partnerships in a business-like fashion, seeking to improve the quality of such housing and/or ensure that rents remain affordable. However, the City will not jeopardize the quality of existing housing and neighborhoods through the siting of subsidized housing. The goals and policies were developed as a result of an opinion survey conducted in October of 1991. Residents were asked to respond to a variety of questions concerning such topics as employment, education, housing, local government, community image and crime. To assist the preservation of the housing stock, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority has provided more than $26,870,382 in housing rehab and mortgage assistance funds via the following programs: HOUSING REHABILITATION Proqram MHFA Home Improvement Loans MHFA Home Energy Loans MHFA Deferred Loan MHFA Rental Rehab Grants MHFA Rental Rehab Loans CDBG/HOME Home Improvement Grants Number of Loans Dollar Value 169 $ 943,901 47 163,891 122 439,660 12 82,925 8 105,000 154 939,674 485 $2,675,051 - 4 of 6 - Minnesota city Participation Program city of Columbia Heights III.

PROGRAM SPECIFICS The Columbia Heights First time Homebuyer Program will complement efforts by the City to preserve its housing stock and increase the opportunities for new families to move into the community. The end result will hopefully be more diverse and vibrant neighborhoods which are attractive to live in. Borrower Income Limits: 80% of HUD Median Income; allowed under the MCPP. maximum Currently: $ 40,800 (5/95) Home Purchase Price Limits: 80% of HUD "Safe Harbor" limits; maximum allowed under the MCPP. Targeting Portion of Funds: $400,000 of the MCPP funds will be reserved for five (5) months for use in the Sheffield Neighborhood for mortgages for new construction. V. ECONOMIC VIABILITY The MCPP program has worked well in the City of Columbia Heights. Since first participating in the program in 1991 (and again in 1992, 1993 & 1994) more than 84 loans with a total dollar value of $5,787,331 have been made to date, approximately 77% of the funds were utilized during the 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994 programs. It is anticipated, based on figures provided by the Anoka County Association of Realtors (ACAR), that there will be continued demand for the MCPP. - 5 of 6 - Minnesota city Participation Program City of Columbia Heights A comparison of home sales for 1992 and 1993 is shown below (Source: ACAR) 1994 1993 * Total number of units sold * Sales as a % of the total market * Total dollar value * Average listing price * Average selling price * Selling price as a % of listing price * Median selling price 214 212 1.79% 1.77% $16,016,190 $15,750,283 $ 76,703 $ 76,386 $ 74,842 $ 74,293 97.57% 97.26% $ 75,106 $ 73,500 VI.

RAIL PROPERTY AT BY: ,~a~-Schneider BY'~~_ ITEM: PURCHASE OF 3725 5TH ST. N.E. q ~ DATE: May 4, 1995 (PIN #35-30-24-34-0029) · · To facilitate the sale of 500 38th Avenue N.E. to Metro Assemblies (Robert & Priscilla Barnick) and make their development feasible, it is necessary to acquire the 18.5' by 130' parcel of land immediately to the west of 500 38th Avenue N.E. Staff has been negotiating with the C.P. Rail on the purchase and has negotiated a price of $1.50 per square foot (from $2.50/s.f.). For the approximately 2,405 square foot parcel this means a total cost of approximately $3,608 (subject to completion of survey of site at our cost of approximately $250). In addition, to facilitate the sale of the property (500 38th and C.P. Rail property) to Robert Barnick and to check on the environmental status of the C.P. Rail property, an environmental assessment must be completed. The cost will be $700 to $1,900 depending on whether or not an update of the 1989 Environmental Report will be acceptable by Barnick's lender. Whether or not the Barnick development proceeds, it would be advantagous for the City to own the property. The City will have a more usable parcel for itself or for resale (500 38th Avenue N.E. and C.P. Rail property). Enclosed is a copy of the proposed purchase agreement and background information.

RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to Deny Abatement of Annual Interest of $17.02 on Special Assessment for 4108/4110 Madison Street for Seal Coating. ALTERNATE MOTION: Move to Approve Abatement of Annual Interest of $17.02 on Special Assessment for 4108/4110 Madison Street for Seal Coating. COUNCIL ACTION: May 23,1995 Mr. Patrick Hentges Columbia Heights City Office Assessing Dept. 590 40th Av. NE Columbia Heights, MN 55421 Dear Mr. Hentges, Per our telephone conversation on May 15, 1995, I would like to formally request an abatement of the annual interest of my Special Assessment dated 5/8/95. As we discussed, the following events have occurred; · In spring of 1994 I received a notice that a special assessment would be charged to my residence at 4108/4110 Madison St. for seal coating. · On November 8, 1994, according to city records, a billing of this assessment was sent to 4108 Madison St., addressed to me. A due date of 12/31/1995 was given to avoid interest or penalty. I did not receive this statement. · On approximately May 10, 1995, A second Special Assessments statement was sent to me at 4108 Madison St. indicating outstanding balance ($179.20) and interest penalty ($17.02). Payment by September 15, 1995 avoids any further penalty. · On May 15, I contacted you to discuss this issue. Unfortunately, I cannot provide evidence that I did not receive the November 1994 billing. In fact it is impossible to prove an incident that I claim, did not occur. However, The city of Columbia Heights also cannot prove that I did receive this statement. The city can prove that a billing was generated and mailed on November 8, 1994, but this does not prove that I received it. I would like you to consider my bill paying history over the last 3 and half years for evidence that when I am billed for services, they are paid promptly. If I had known a special assessment was due on 12/31/94, it would have been paid. As fairly new residents of Columbia Heights, my wife and I have made an effort to be a positive influence on the neighborhood. The rental property we own is also our home. We have invested over $10,000 dollars in painting, remodeling, new appliances, new furnaces and central airconditioners, new fence and landscaping. Permits have been pulled when required and we pride ourselves in the condition of our home. We have made many new friends and feel very welcome in this city. Therefore, you should know the $17.02 penalty is not the main issue, it's the principle. We are productive and contributing citizens to Columbia Heights and when informed, we pay our bills. Finally, I would like to point out that the annual interest charge based on the 9.5% annual interest rate is not correct. If the interest accruing period is from November 8, 1994 to September 15, 1995, this is not a full year (or annual) and the interest penalty should be prorated to reflect this fact. Actually, a more appropriate billing period would be based on a 12/31/95 start date and then prorated to 9/15/95, or extend the due date to reflect a full year of interest charges or don't refer to the penalty as annual interest but a 9.5% fee for late payment. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and are looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Attached is a copy of the Special Assessment Statement. Please feel free to contact me at home 781-6735, or during business hours at 574-3724. Stephen Hague 4108 Madison St. NE Columbia Heights MN 55421 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS 590 - 40th AVENUE N.E.

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT POLICE BY: Leonard M. Olson DATE: May 23, 1995 CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: BY: DATE: The City of Fridley implemented a special program to deal with juvenile issues such as curfew, runaways, and youth in crisis. The program carries two components, one of which is the staffed drop-in center that police officers can use. The other component is a recreation center located in Fridley and unlikely that other community youth would use such as service. Other city police departments, including Columbia Heights, have been invited to participate in this drop-in center system. Our department's share in the program is based upon our population. Other communities expressing the desire to join this program are New Brighton, Spring Lake Park, Mounds View, and St. Anthony. Fridley's drop-in center currently is operational and staffed by professional youth workers. The hours of operation are 10:00 P.M. to 3:00 A.M. Friday and Saturday nights while school is in session. When school is out, the center will be operated every night. This center, should our city wish to participate, will afford our officers with a readily available location to drop off any juvenile who is taken into custody for a variety of reasons. The only exceptions to this would be the intoxicated and the violent. The youth would be counseled and held until parents or guardians arrive. This means that our officers would be merely out of our city dealing with the young offender on a temporary basis. Other cities across the country who have similar programs such as Phoenix, Arizona, have provided statistics as favorable as noted decreases of 81 per cent in juvenile victimization and 64 per cent less in juvenile crimes. North Little Rock, Arkansas, started their program which literally drove juvenile offenders into surrounding communities, thus forcing those communities to participate in efforts to control the influx of youth. The formula to fund our share of the program facilities is $6,104. This will provide the drop-in center facility to our officers for the full month of June and through to December 31, 1995. This equates to seven months of participation. RECOMMENDED MOTION: "Move to authorize the Columbia Heights Police Department to participate in the Fridley "Project Safety Net" program and provide the funding of $6,104 to the City of Fridley from Undesignated General Fund balance, and to allow the City Manager and Mayor to enter into such an agreement." 95-145 COUNCIL ACTION: Project Safety Net Mission Statement: To promote a safe and healthy community for Fridley youth. Objectives: 1. To develop an after hours cLrop off center (after hours being post curfew). 2. To develop positive recreational opportunities for youth ages 14 and over on late Friday and Saturday evenings. Description: Project Safety Net is a comprehensive approach to developing healthy youth during non-school hours through a collaboration between PoLice, Recreation a_nd Schools. The program will consist of two components. The first being an after hours drop off center where police officers may drop off youth in violation of the curfew ordinance. The drop off center will be open from 10:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. and staffed by youth workers experienced in worldng with at risk youth and families. The youth workers will be responsible for making assessments as to appropriate referral services including counseling, recreation, health, employment and community service. The center wLEl offer peer and adult mentor services to assist youth who are frequent curfew violators. The second component of Project Safety Net will be to provide positive recreation opportunities for youth on weekend evenings between 9:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. This component gives youth an alterna- tive to the consequences of un.structured leisure time resulting in problematic behaviors. Activities will range fi'om sports to hobbies, thus ~--eating an opportuni~ to build healthy relationships with peers and adults. The activities will be staffed by youth workers experienced in working with youth from diverse backgrou.nds. Lastly, an Advisory Board will be established to assist staff in meeting the needs of the Fridley commurtity. It will be comprised equally of youth and adults representing the many faces of the dry. This board would meet initially monthly to provide direction and structure to the staff responsible for the development and implementation of Project Safety Net. We look forward to meeting with you and addressing any questions or concerns you may have regard- ing this new cooperative venture. - Kevin Thomas, Youth & Family Outreach Worker - Police Depa~:~ent - Sharie Aiders, Administrative Secretary/Crisis Intervention - Police Department - Debi Campobasso, Program Specialist - Recreation & Natural Resource Depa~t~ent Fridley Police Department Curfew Enforcement Process Stop juveniles 17 and under.

The following information is for those cities interested in participating in the curfew drop off center of PROJECT SAFETY NET. The City of Fridley will provide the location and administrative costs of the program to 1-1-96. The figures below represent an estimate of a percentage of the cost of the program to 1-1-96. We are researching the necessity of a Joint Powers Agreement, etc. This should not be viewed as a contract or promise at this time but we believe that these will be accurate figures. The costs were calculated by a population allocation of participating cities. PROJECTED COST OF PROGRAM (JUNE 1, 1995 TO JANUARY 1, 1996) COLUMBIA HEIGHTS (POP. 18,700) 24.5% X $24,915=$6,104. FRIDLEY (POP. 28,000) 36.8% X $24,915=$9,169 NEW BRIGHTON (POP. 22,500) 29.5% X $24,915=$7,350 SPRING LAKE PARK (POP. 7,000) 9.2% X $24,915=$2,292 Payments will be made to the City of Fridley. We can discuss later the issue of monthly, etc. Each City will be asked to provide a Certificate of Insurance. If there is some requirement for Fridley to increase insurance coverage (we don't believe that will be the case), there could be additional expense. If other cities are added (i.e. Moundsview) the financial situation can be reconsidered, but some additional staff may have to be added. Please call me with questions.

The next "Heights Highlights" newsletter will feature the strategic plan. I expect that mailing be disseminated around the end of June. 3) HEIGHTS PRIDE WEEK I am preparing an accounting of Heights Pride Week activities and will be forwarding the status of the budget to the City Council in the very near future. The Heights Pride Committee had a recap meeting on Thursday. One of the major discussions was the potential consolidation in proximity of the Housing Fair activities with the Community Picnic. Overall, we received many favorable comments concerning the activities. 4) CITY LOT SALES STATUS We received proposals from Habitat, First Choice Homes, and an individual for the purchase and/or the construction of homes on various surplus lots. We've extended the date to approximately May 16th, so that a few additional builders or contractors could make proposals. At the June 19th work session, the Council is scheduled to review the various proposals. In the meantime, City staff is also evaluating steps necessary to implement a scattered site tax increment project for the city-owned lots, together with various houses in the housing inventory that would be included in a voluntary acquisition program. 5) BLOCK BUILDERS HOUSE PURCHASE Be advised that Block Builders (through ACCAP) has successfully closed on the acquisition of the home at 675 47th Avenue N.E. As a point of information, it should be noted that the County also participated in the project in the amount of $2,000. The $2,000 that the County contributed was deducted from Columbia Heights'. In fact, the City of Columbia Heights really contributed $15,000 towards the project. 6) CORRESPONDENCE AND REPORTS Attached please find correspondence from various agencies: Anoka County Association of Realtors--Sales Recaps Greater Anoka County Humane Society--Fee Charges Metropolitan Council/Wastewater Services 1994 Final Sewer Cost Allocation Metropolitan Council/Wastewater Services 1995 First Quarter Flow Calculation North Metro Mayors Association--Transportation and Economic Development Study. FBI--Uniform Crime Index 7) BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT - STATUS REPORT Attached please find the status of the Beautification Budget as of May 23, 1995. As you can see, the Heights Pride Week's efforts were quite successful. Further into the year, City staff will discuss alternatives for the Old Fashioned Skating Rink mound including the possible construction of a gazebo. It is hoped that volunteer and service groups would assist with a project of this nature. 8) PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER SEARCH I have been less than satisfied with the applicants for the Public Works Director position. I have discussed interim management alternatives with the senior supervisory staff of the Public Works Department. I will also be monitoring the search for Public Works Director in Lino Lakes, in that it has been similarly advertised and near the salary range of Columbia Heights. At the June 19th work session, I will brief the Council in further detail as to the alternatives. 9) HONEYWELL/HILLCREST PROPERTY I have scheduled June 5th as further discussion on the redevelopment proposal with Honeywell/Hillcrest property. All the parties involved will be present to discuss the redevelopment proposal. Additionally, the City has had discussions with Hillcrest confirming the sale of the parcel adjacent to Huset Park and will have a final position developed by the meeting. 10) CITY HALL 40TH AVENUE PARKING/BUS STOP Be advised that the MTC shelter is now moved. It is City Staff's intention to discuss the possibility of rearranging their parking on 40th Avenue to better accommodate the bus stop, and the possibility of a curbside utility/City Hall dropbox, and mailbox site. We have found that the current utility box has anywhere from 350 to 400 utility bills dropped per month, despite the fact that you do have to get out of your car. Additionally, the U.S. postal box also gets a fair amount of usage. An auto drop may further increase the utilization and provides for the possibility of other utility drops such as NSP, Minnegasco, Cable, etc. The proposal also intends to provide at least one or two short term customer parking spaces. 11) CITY ATTORNEY ON SITE OFFICE We hope to have an on-site office for the City Attorney in the next two weeks. The hold-up to this date has been the remodeling and the installation of a computer terminal in the office. The office hours for the attorney will likely be Wednesday morning for civil matters and perhaps another block of hours during the week for the criminal attorney to meet with the police officers. cb 95/ 0 ~ CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS 590 40th Avenue N.

Humane Society 1411 Main Street · Coon Rapids, MN 55448 · (612) 754-1642 ]:or lJl05f' without words May 16, 1995 > ~. ~..~. Dear Administrator, In February, 1995, the Greater Anoka County Humane S~ciety sent you a letter informing you that we would be mailing the 1995-96 Animal Control/Impound Service contract in June for an August 1st implementation date. During the spring we planned to review our costs in relation to the contract. If increases were being contemplated, we could then arrange to meet with you well before the contract implementation date to discuss any proposed increases. Our goal is to submit the new contracts to you in June to allow time to go over the proposed changes well before the final contract is prepared. We are enclosing a list of possible areas of increase. Please let us have your feedback as soon as possible so we can discuss the contract with you. After you review this letter and study the list of proposed increases, call us to arrange a personal visit. Naturally, we would like to maintain contract costs at current levels, but it is not financially possible. The shelter is losing money each month in its attempts to meet contract obligations and to provide a good quality of care for the animals and strong adoption/receiving and education programs. Because of lack of funds, we have not been able to provide any wage or salary increases for over a year. Private support has not expanded to help meet the need. We are increasing our efforts in this area, but improved results take time. Because of these factors, we must propose a modest contract increase described in the attached list. We are proud of the fact that we were able to find loving homes for about 75% of the animals entrusted to our care, whether given or strays. We thank you for your continued help and support. We look forward to your input on these contract changes. Sincerely, Giles Kobilka Executive Director P.S. I thought you should know that at its May 2nd meeting, the Coon Rapids City Council voted to support our reques~ for an extension of time before closing our current access/egress road to Highway 242. We really appreciate that decision which helps us continue our operations here at our current location.

Would you send us a copy of your city ordinance regarding q~a~a,~ ..... g animals. Thanks very muck. Sincerely, Giles Kobilka Executive Director Metropolitan Council Working for the Region, Planning for the Future May 15, 1995 TO ALL CITY FINANCE OFFICERS: Metropolitan Council/Wastewater Services (MCWS) recently closed out 1994 revenues and expenditures and completed the 1994 Final Cost Allocation. The enclosed statement shows both the estimated sewer service billing your city paid for 1994 and the final billing to your city for the same year. The bottom line shown on the accompanying statement is the amount your city underpaid or overpaid in 1994. This amount will appear as a credit or a debit on the city's 1996 statement of sewer service. For 1994, MCWS had a favorable variance of $7.5 million, composed of $1 million in unanticipated revenue and $6.5 million in spending below budget. The variance occurred by design. As budget and merger activity became more define, spending was constrained to allow MCWS more leeway to balance competing needs. The Council decided that the variance should be used to reduce costs in the mid-and long-term, working toward stability in billings to communities. The variance is being used to finance capital budget projects (in lieu of debt), prepay a loan, set up an allowance for obsolete inventory, assist in re-engineering an essential activity and buy out some of the older workers' compensation policies. This use of the variance also means there will not be an across-the-board rebate on our 1996 sewer service bill, which is another step toward long-term stability. At this time, I would also like to provide an update of the Cost Allocation/Rate Study Task Force appointed by the Metropolitan Council Chair and chaired by Russ Susag, Council member of Richfield and former Metropolitan Waste Control Commissioner. The Task Force and its Technical Advisory Committee are conducting a full study of virtually every aspect not only of the cost allocation system but of SAC, inflow and infiltration and other rates such as industrial strength. Their target date for reporting is early fall, 1995. They welcome questions or comments, and we would be happy to put you in touch with them. As always, your questions or comments are welcome. For specific questions about this statement or other matters, please contact Steve $ielaff at 229-2021 or myself at 229-2017. Sincerefly, · oi~ I.

Attached is a graph showing only the metered flow for your com/~unity, by month, for the past three years.

Future Plans for Transit Appendix A. 3 4 7 13 15 21 22 27 33 35 2 I. Introduction Purpose of the Study Transportation is a kev dement in the econormc development and prosperity, of an area. Whether transportation drives devetopmemu or development demands transportation (both have been true), it is impossible to have a healthy economic svste~n in the absemce of a transportation system that is capable of mo~4ng people to and from work and other destinations. This report will pro,~4de an evaluation of public high~vay and transit mvesunent and needs over time for the north metro area. xmh comparisons to the south metro area to determine if, in fact, transportation needs have been met equitably throughout the T~4n Cities region. The report will also examine ~ox~xh rotes and forecasts for households, emplo.wnerrc and other key economic indicators as measures of future needs. Organization of the Report The report will begin with an examination of the demographics of the north metro area, including household and population trends and forecasts, employmemt trmds and forecasts, and other measures of the economic health of this subregion. Comparable figures ~vill be provided for the south metro area. and kev differences will be noted. The next section will describe current highway transportation availability and funding in the north metro area..-~ain, comparisons to the south metro area will be draxvn. Unmet and furore transportat/on needs in the north metro area will then be outlined. The transit s'~xtem in the region XXqll be described, and transit needs and improvements in the north metro area X~qll be covered Data companng the north and south metro areas includes all cities in both areas (except Minneapolis and St. Paul). However. the focus of much of the report is on the areas served by the North Metro Mavors .kssociation. II. Summary of Findings Population and Households Employment Tax Base Unemployment Poverty Lower-Cost Housing Current Highway Availability The Twin Cities MetropolitanArea is just about evenly divided between the north and the south in population and households. Although the north metro area has about the same number of people as the south metro area, the north trails far behind the south in jobs, with 141,000 fewer jobs. This disparity is projected to continue through the year 2015, when the north metro area will have 143,000 fewer j obs. This strong employment disadvantage is accompanied by a number of additional indicators of the economic health of the north metro area. Less than one third of the commumties with above-average per capita property tax base are in the north metro area. At the same time, more than two thirds of communities with below-average tax base are in the north. Lower tax base puts communities and their school districts at a disadvantage for providing basic local govemment services and education. At the time of the 1990 Census, 36,994 people were unemployed in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area (excluding Minneapolis and St. Paul). Of these, 53.5 percent were in the north metro area, and 46.5 percent were in the south, a difference of 2,556 people. The poverty population in the north metro area is 22 percent higher than in the south metro area. Of the 73,458 people living in poverty outside of the central cities, 40,354 lived in the north metro area. This was 7,250 more people in poverty than in the south. The north metro area has 13 percent more rental housing affordable to lower-income households (50 percent of median income or less) than the south metro area, and 11 percent more housing of all types affordable to households with incomes of $20,000 per year or less. One way to move toward a more equitable economic balance between the north and south metro areas is to provide transportation resources that will encourage or preserve economic development in the north metro area. As of January, 1995, the north metro area had 8 percent fewer lane miles of trunk highway than the south metro area, a difference of 142 lane miles. Age of Highways Importance of Highways to Businesses Traffic Congestion Highway Project Progress Report Future Plans for Highways Transit Service Transit Funding Reverse-Commute Need for Local Transit Service Suburb to Suburb Transit Service Transit for Suburban Work Trips Among the major highways, the north metro area has more of the older lane miles built before 1980 (615 miles, to 434 in the south). More of the newer, post-1980 lane miles are located in the south (335 miles, to 191 miles in the north). Access to transportation has been identified as the top priority in determining business location by businesses surveyed in many dries in the north metro area. Severe traffic congestion affects many of the major highways in the north metro area. The Trunk Highway 10/610 project appears to be progressing on (the revised) schedule, as is the 1-94 HOV lane project. Portions of Highway 169 are on schedule. The Highway 100 project schedule needs to be accelerated, and the funding level stabilized at an adequate amount. Other highway priorities of the North Metro Mayors Association have not been scheduled or allocated funding to date. Major highway projects should have ongoing committees of local representatives, as well as representatives of MnDOT and the Metropolitan Council, to oversee them at every stage. The North Metro Mayors Association should develop a priority system for future highway projects. Area businesses should be involved in highway planning" The transit system in the region has not been able to keep up with changes in location of residential and employment areas over time, malting it difficult for both central city and suburban residents to use transit for many of their work trips. Because of an anticipated shortfall in the regional transit budget, many needed transit improvements will not be funded. Reverse-commute transit service allows central city residents to nde buses to suburban employment centers. To date, most reverse-commute service has been offered in the south and southwest metro areas. However, Maple Grove now offers reverse-commute service for one large employer. Many communities in the north metro area have no local transit service for shopping, medical appointments, work trips or other local travel needs. Most transit routes in the north metro area lead to either Minneapolis or St. Paul. To go from suburb to suburb usually requires a trip downtown and a transfer to another bus. Many suburban employers have indicated that transit service is important, particularly for entry-level jobs. Transit-Dependent Population The north metro area has a large transit-dependent population in need of all types of transit service. Transit Hubs Transit hubs, located primarily at major suburban shopping malls, can become important transfer points for suburb to suburb transit service. Additional transit hubs are needed in the north metro area. Future Plans for Transit Future transit planning should involve aries, businesses, and transit riders. Transit rules and r~--~ulations should be reviewed. A variety of transit demonstration programs should be implemented and momtored. HI. Demographics of the North Metro Area: Population, Household and Employment Forecasts, and Other Key Economic Indicators To understand the transportation needs of the North Metro Area, it is important to have information on population, household and employment trends and forecasts, and other information on the economic health of the area. Defmition of the North Metro Area The North Metro Area includes all of Anoka County, all of Ramsey County except St. Paul, and the north portion of Hennepin (excluding Minneapolis) and Washington Counties. The north/south dividing line is roughly 1-94/394 (12). See Map One. Growth Trends and Forecasts _P_o~pulation In 1940, the north half of the Metro Area accounted for only 40 percent of the population of the Twin Cities region. The south metro area had the other 60 percent. It took four decades for the north metro area to catch up, with 50.7 percent of the population of the region in 1980. The north and south halves of the region remained virtually equal in population in 1990, with 50.1 and 49.8 percent, respectively/ See Table One.

In 1970, the north metro area had 147,000 households, while there were 161,000 households in the south metro area. Household growth was almost equal between 1970 and 1990 in the north and south, with 148,000 and 149,000 households adde& respectively. The south metro area is projected to add more households than the north between 1990 and 2015, when the north metro area is projected to have 420,000 households, compared to 469,000 in the south.2 See Table Two.

Of the 813,000 jobs in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area in 1990, the north metro area had 336,000 jobs, while the south metro area had 477,000 jobs, a difference of 141,000. The north metro area has 41.3 percent of area jobs, while 58.7 percent are in the south. By 2015, the north metro area will have 499,000 jobs, while the south has 642,000, a difference of 143,000jobs. See Figure One, page 9.

In 1990, the north metro area had 295,000 households and 336,000 jobs, a ratio of 1.14 jobs per household. At the same time, the ratio of jobs per household in the south metro area was 1.54 jobs per household. By 2015, the north will have 1.19 jobs per household, and the south will have 1.37 jobs per household. Other Key Economic Indicators Tax Base An important measure of the economic health of a community or area is its property tax base. In this category, the north metro area falls well below the south metro area. The average 1994 per capita property tax base in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, before tax base sharing, was $848. Of the 56 suburban communities in the Twin Cities with population over 9,000, 22 had per capita tax base above that figure, but only 7 of them (31.8 percent) were north metro area communities. The remaining 15 communities (68.2 percent) were in the south metro area. Thirty-four communities had below average tax bases, 23 in the north metro area (67.6 percent) and 11 in the south (32.4 percent)_3 See Table Three, page 10. 3 Citizens League, 1994. 9 North Metro Below Table Three Per Capita Tax Base - 1994 Above South Metro Below Above Bumsville Chanhass~n Chaska Andover Anoka Blame Park Columbia Hts.

Unemployment totals for all commumties outside of Minneapolis and St. Paul at the time of the 1990 Census have been listed, and totals computed for the north metro area communities and the south metro area commumties. 10 Communities in the north metro area had 19,775 people unemployed, while there were 17,219 people unemployed in the south metro area, a difference of 2,556 people. Of people unemployed at the time of the 1990 Census, 53.5 percent were residents of the north metro area, and 46.5 percent 4 lived in the south metro area. Pover02 In addition to a higher rate of unemployment, the communities in the north metro area have a greater number of residents living below the poverty level. At the time of the 1990 Census, 40,354 north metro area residents hved below the poverty level, while 33,104 residents of the south metro area were living in poverty. Excluding Mmneapolis and St. Paul, 55 percent of all citizens living in poverty were residents of the north metro area, and 45 percent lived in the south metro area.5 The poverty population in the north metro area exceeds the south metro area by 22 percent. A poverty-level income is defined by the Census as $6,300 for 1 person, $8,076 for a 2-person family, $9,885 for a 3-person family, and $12,674 for a family of 4. Lower-Cost Homing Communities in the north metro area have more rental housing affordable to households with incomes at 50 percent of the median, or less, than communities in the south metro area. According to the 1990 Census, there were 21,663 rental units affordable to households with incomes at 50 percent of the median or less in the north metro area, and 19,232 comparable rental units in the south metro area.6 The supply of affordable rental units is almost 13 percent greater in the north metro area. Looking at both rental and ownership housing affordable to households with incomes of $20,000 per year or less, the north metro area has 53,442 umts, while the south metro area has only 47,968 umts, a difference of 5,474 units or 11.4 percent.7 Conclusions The north and south halves of the Metro Area are comparable in their shares of the region's population and households. However, they are quite different in a number of key economic indicators, all of which favor the south metro area. Perhaps no one of these characteristics alone is sufficient to put the north metro area at a disadvantage; but taken together, a picture emerges which demonstrates a strong need for increased economic development in the north metro area. These factors are summarized on page 12. aU. S. Census, 1990. 5 Ibid. ~ Minnesota Planmng, Makin~ the Connection: Linkin Housin Jobs and Trans rtation 1993.

Highway Availability in the North Metro Area In order to bring about a better economic balance between the communities of the north and south metro areas, additional employment opportunities are badly needed in the north metro area. To support additional economic development and employment, improvements in highway transportation routes are required for business access and visibility. Background Information - Highway Availability Studies Does the north metro area have adequate highway service? Is it comparable to the south metro area? It is difficult to compare levels of highway availability in the north and south metro areas. Three different sources of data have been used to analyze current highway availability. Comparisons have been made using dollars spent and lane miles available. Comparisons of dollars spent do not lead to easily comparable results because of the different time periods during which highways were constructed. (A 1992 freeway mile cost more to build than a 1962 freeway mile.) Lane miles, on the other hand, treat all highways the same, regardless of when they were built. Lane miles do, however, measure the amount of roadway available to service an area, and both the north and south portions of the metropolitan area have a mixture of older and newer highways. The three methods of compahson are summarized below. 1995 Lane Miles (MnDOT) Using 1995 information provided by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), lane miles were measured for every tnmk highway in the metropolitan area, with the exception of all of 1-394/12 and 1-94 that serve as boundary lines between the north and south metro areas. The approximate ntanber of lane miles available were as follows: North Metro Area South Metro Area 1,642 lane rmles (47.9 percent) 1,784 lane miles (52.1 percent) Total 3,426 lane miles Using this method of measurement, the north metro area has 142 fewer lane miles of trunk highway than the south metro area, an 8 percent difference. See Appendix A for a listing of highways included in this tabulation. 13 Dollars .~pent 1980 - 1990 Using the "dollars spent" method, the cost of highway investments between 1980 and 1990 were compared in a report prepared by Datanet and MnDOT, as follows: Area Dollars_Spent Percent of Total Minneapolis/St. Paul $ 347,940,000 32 % North Suburban 213,298,000 20 % South Suburban 427,338,000 39 % East Metro 69,130,000 6 % Ramsey County 30,084,000 3 % Total $1,087,790,000 Clearly, the south metro area had a greater share of public highway funds invested during that decade than the north, even if East Metro and Ramsey County are added to the North Metro Area. Metropolitan Council Lane Miles Studv- 1959- 1992 Using lane miles, Metropolitan Council figures appear to corroborate the "dollars spent" finding, indicating that 335 lane miles were provided in the south metro area between 1980 and 1992, while only 191 lane miles were added in the north. However, during the earlier period from 1959 to 1979, Metropolitan Council records show that the north metro area received 615.5 lane miles, while the south metro area gained only 434.5 lane miles. Overall, between 1959 and 1992, the Metropolitan Council shows the north metro area having 806.5 lane miles, slightly more than the south metro area's 769.5 lane miles. It should be noted that the Metropolitan Council figures for lane miles include only the major arterials, whereas the MnDOT figures include all trunk highways. This accounts for the larger numbers of lane miles in the MnDOT totals for both the north and the south metro areas. The Metropolitan Council figures do, however, include lane miles for the 1-394/94 boundary between north and south, allotmg equal shares of their lane miles to the north and south metro areas. Conclusion 14 V. Highway Funding Needs in the North Metro Area "In selecting the locations of commercial and industrial development, investors evaluate three sets of factors: (1) relative accessibility within a regional marketplace; (2) site characteristics; and (3) improvements that include infrastructure and ancillary uses on which the new use depends. Accessibility. has always been the critical influence in shaping urban land use patterns. Access to (and visibility from) major freeways and arterials continues to be the key location factor.''s Highway access is a very important element m the future economic development of the north metro area. Without adequate highway transportation, the north metro area will remain well behind the south metro area m jobs, as well as commercial and industrial tax base. The shortage of both overall lane miles and newer, more up to date highways m the north metro area supports the need for additional highway construction to support badly-needed economic development. During the past two decades, while more public highway funds were being invested m the south metro area, it was the north metro area that provided more affordable housing opportunities. Public policy that rewards communities for the provision of affordable housing was not being implemented. Imoortance of HighwavTransportation to Business Locations As noted above, access to and visibility from major freeways and arterials continues to be a key location factor for businesses. This statement is supported by several recent studies m the north metro area. The largest of these studies, conducted by Community Resource Partnerships, Inc., included all businesses m Blame, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, New Hope and Mounds View. A total of 2,600 businesses were surveyed in 1993 and 1994. Of these, 1,603 businesses ranked a list of 20 factors for significance m deciding on altemate or new locations for their businesses. "Roads" were ranked important or very important by more businesses than any of the other 20 factors. For every business that ranked roads not important or insignificant, 5.6 businesses ranked them important or very important. The next highest factor, "property taxes", was ranked important or very important by only 2.81 businesses for every one that ranked them not important or insignificant. Businesses in all five cities included in the survey ranked roads their highest priority. A 1989 Coon Rapids Business Retention and Expansion Study surveyed 35 local businesses. The availability of adequate roadways was among the top 6 factors (out of 19) m importance for survey respondents, being ranked as important or very important by more than 75 percent of the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, An Examination of Factors Controlling the Location of Commerical and Industrial Develol~ment with the Metropolitan Area, 1993. 15 respondents. Only utilities, property taxes, other imposed costs, and quality of life ranked slightly higher. Labor availability was equal to roads m importance. The other 13 factors ranked considerably lower. Businesses m Coon Rapids were also asked which public services were not satisfactory. Both manufacturing and retail/service businesses noted roads as a problem more often than almost any other on a list of 13 problems. Among manufacturing firms, the only other problem noted as often as roads was "facihty space". Among retail/service finns, the only other problems noted as often as roads were emergency medical and electric/gas utilities. The importance of highway access for businesses was also mentioned by representatives of other communities and businesses m the north metro area. A Blame survey of businesses ranked access to transportation the number one priority. It was described as an investment that produced jobs and tax base. Larson Engineering, a Blame manufacturing company, cited the need to have access to both markets and sources of supplies needed m the manufacture of its products. Hi hwa Traffic Co estion Highway traffic congestion causes loss of time and considerable frustration for travelers trying to get to work or other destinations on time. It increases fuel consumption and is a major source of air pollution wherever it is present. Vehicle travel m the Twin Cities metropolitan area has increased far more than population between 1970 and 1990. During that time, daily vehicle miles traveled increased by 130 percent, while the population grew by only 20 percent. The phenomenal growth in travel reflects the dispersal of population and employment away from the central cities. In 1970, 54 percent of the region's households lived outside the central cities. In 1990, the figure was 69 percent. In 1970, 44 percent of the jobs were outside of Minneapolis and St. Paul. In 1990, the number was 63 percent.9 The region's major highway system expanded considerably during that time, from 798 lane miles m 1970 to 1,578 lane miles m 1992. However, this 98 percent increase in lane miles was considerably less than the 130 percent increase m miles traveled, thus providing a rationale for the often-heard remark that the more highways are built, the more congestion increases. Traffic congestion occurs throughout the region, generally during moming and afternoon rush hours. Between 1970 and 1992, the number of freeway miles of severe traffic congestion quadrupled, from 24 miles to 106 miles. If nothing is done to increase the people-moving capacity of the system, the number of miles experiencing severe congestion will nearly double again between now and 2015, to 200 miles. ~0 9 Metropolitan Council, 1990 Travel Behavior Inventor~ Sunun Rary__~_~_~ 1994. ~0 Metropolitan Council, 1995-1997 Transportation Iml~rovement Program for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Are_a, 1994. 16 Severely-congested routes in the north metro area at this time include: 1-94 from County Road 81 to 1-494/694 1-494 throughout the north metro area Highway 169 throughout the north metro area 252 from Highway 610 to 1-94 10 from 1-35W to Highway 47 280 from 1-94 to 1-35W 36 from Highway 280 to 1-35E 100 from Highway 55 to 1-694 55 from Highway 100 to 1-494 There are also a number of severely-congested intersections in the area, where stop and go traffic generates high levels of pollution. Two of these intersections are on Highway 100, where it crosses County Road 81 in Robbinsdale and 36th Avenue North in Crystal/Robbinsdale. Another is the area where County Road 81, Highway 169 and 85th Avenue North converge in Brooklyn Park. Hi hwa Priorities in the North Metro Area Highway priorities established by the North Metro Mayors Association include a number of projects. Topping the list are Trunk Highways 610/10 and Highway 100. Trunk The completion of Trunk Highways 610/10 will open up important commercial and industrial development sites in the north metro area, particularly in Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove. When completed, the Trunk Highway 610 portion of this project will serve almost 20 million square feet of commercial and industrial space in these two cities, with a potential for up to 21,400 additional jobs by the year 2015. City staff have reported inquiries from potential commercial/industrial developers interested in this space upon completion of the highway. MnDot reports that the plans for this important northem crosstown, between Highway 252 and 1- 94, are on or ahead of the current schedule, with completion between Highways 252 and 169 expected as early as 1999. However, Highway 610 was delayed during earlier planning stages, making it difficult for the cities involved to plan for its development. The cost for Highway 610 between 252 and Highway 169 is estimated at $60 million. Another $70 million is the estimated cost of Highway 610 between 169 and 1-94, with completion scheduled after the year 2000.~ If Highway 610 is not completed, there will be tremendous pressure for costly improvements on other roadways in the area, including County Road 30, which is already heavily congested. As a new highway, 610 will have the benefit of modem technology and innovations that can serve as a demonstration for other future highway development. n Estimated costs for Highway 610, and the other highways described below, do not include right of way costs, unless otherwise indicated. 17 Highway 610 will run through Maple Grove and Brooklyn Park and provide convement connections to highways m Blame, Osseo, Brooklyn Center, Champlm, Coon Rapids, and Dayton. A major expansion project is already underway for Trunk Highway 10 from 1-35W to the 169 River Bridge. Communities served by this project include Mounds View, Blame, Coon Rapids and Anoka. Highway 10 has been identified by MnDOT as severely congested. The first stage of this project, from Long Lake Road to Trunk Highway 65, has already been completed at a cost of $29.6 million. Additional work is scheduled by MnDOT m 1998 and 1999 at a cost of about $45 million, including T.H. 10 from T.H. 65 to Egret, and T.H. 610 from University Avenue to Coon Rapids Boulevard. This work was originally scheduled to begin m 1996. The eventual connection of Highways 10 and 610 will open new transportation opportunities for both businesses and personal travel m the north metro area. Trunk ltillhwav 100 Highway 100 is a study in contrasts. The south pomon of this highway has been upgraded to freeway standards. But as one travels north of Glenwood Avenue, the highway reverts to its old form. Originally constructed m the 1930s and upgraded m the 1940s, this portion of Highway 100 and its bridges are visibly deteriorating. One one and a half mile stretch boasts five traffic signals, with major congestion, pollution and safety hazards. The north portion of Highway 100, from Glenwood Avenue North to 50th Avenue North, has been designated for upgrading for more than 30 years. Houses and other buildm~ along some sections of Highway 100 have lost value and been difficult to sell for years because they are, or may be, m the planned highway expansion area. One block m Robbmsdale has only one house lelt. New businesses moving into the area need improved interchanges, and existing businesses have had to live with this uncertainty for years. The resultant reductions m property values have affected city tax bases as well. Cities served by this section of Highway 100 include Golden Valley, Robbmsdale, Crystal and Brooklyn Center. The proposed reconstruction of Highway 100 will benefit adjacent homes, businesses and neighborhoods m these communities by improving drainage, noise levels, air quality, and pedestrian mobility. At this point, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is m process, scheduled for completion in 1998. The Highway 100 Council has urged that the EIS be completed by 1997. The current MnDOT schedule indicates that it will be alter the year 2000 before work on Highway 100 begins. Funding m the amount of $23 million is designated for Highway 100 on the MnDOT post-2000 list, which does not specify, years. This figure is down from the $45 million previously indicated by MnDOT. The $23 million is designated for work from 29th to 39th Avenues and from 39th to Indiana. Additional costs for right of way for these segments are estimated at $23.5 million. The other segments, from Glenwood to 29th Avenue North and from Indiana Avenue to 50th Avenue North do not appear on the MnDOT post-2000 list. The Highway 100 Council estimates costs for these two segments at $25 million for construction and $15.5 rmllion for right of way. 18 The Highway 100 Council urges that, because of the hardships this long-delayed project has caused, and because of pollution and safety considerations at several intersections, construction proceed as quickly as possible to upgrade Highway 100 to freeway standards. Additional Hi~ Priorities in the North Metro Area Additional highway funding priorities m the north metro area include Trunk Highway 169, 1-94 HOV lanes, and several other proposed projects for which no funding has been allocated to date. Tnmk The entire length of Highway 169 m the north metro area has been identified as being severely congested. The proposed project runs from 93rd Avenue to Highway 10. Cities served by the project include Brooklyn Park, Osseo, Champlm and Anoka. Work on the first stage, from Osseo to Champlm, has been scheduled, at a cost of $6 million. The next stage, completion of a permanent Anoka/Champlin Bridge, has been scheduled by MnDOT for 1998 at a cost of $6.8 million. The remaining stages, from 93rd Avenue to the Anoka/Champlm Bridge and an upgrade of the 77th Avenue intersection, are not included in the MnDOT schedule at this time. 1-94 rookl Park to Ma le Grove) This project addresses one of the most severely congested roadways m the metropolitan area. The project would add a third lane on 1-94 from Brooklyn Boulevard to 93rd Avenue. The lane would be an HOV lane. Currently m the design stage, this project is scheduled by MnDOT for the year 2000. The project is allocated $25 million. Communities served by the project are Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, and Maple Grove. Five priority projects remain, for which no funding has been allocated to date. They are: 1-35W (Northeast 1W_anneapolis to Lino Lakes). The proposal is for a Corridor Study, additional lanes from County Road I North to Lake Drive, and improvement of the County Road 14 interchange. This proposal affects the dries of Minneapolis, St. Anthony, New Brighton, Mounds View, Blame and Lmo Lakes. Trunk Highway 65 (I-694 to Anoka County Road 22). The proposal is to complete an access study and long range plan. This proposal affects the cities of Fridley, Spring Lake Park and Blame. Trunk Highway 242 (from Trunk Highway I0 to Trunk Highway 65). The proposal is to upgrade Highway 242. This proposal affects the cities of Coon Rapids and Blame. Trunk Highway 252 (73rd Avenue to Highway 610 Bridge). The proposal is to add additional lanes. This proposal affects the city of Brooklyn Park. Highway 252 has been identified as severely congested. 19 County Road 121. The traffic congestion on the Anoka/Champlin Bridge has led to recognition in this area of the need for a second bridge over the Mississippi River somewhere between Highways 610 and 101. Several locations for this bridge have been considered, but a location has not been selected to date. The 1992 traffic count for the Anoka/Champlin Bridge was 33,000 cars per day, and the forecast for 2010 is 52,800 cars per day if an additional bridge is not built. The proposal would add the additional river crossing in this area and expand the existing roadway. This proposal directly affects the cities of Dayton and Ramsey, as well as residents of other nearby communities who could use the bridge. Conclusions 20 VI. Future Plans for Highways Funding for major new highway projects will be in short supply in the coming years. Not all of the identified highway needs of the north metro area will be met.. Because resources are scarce, it is important that they be used wisely, and that the north metro area be involved in deciding how they are used. The North Metro Mayors Association recommends the following procedures for future highway planmng and funding in the north metro area. (1) Establish a permanent committee for each major highway proposal under consideration for funding by MnDOT in the north metro area, similar to the North Metro 610 Crossing Coalition and the North Metro Highway 100 Council. (a) Membership on each committee shall include representatives of MnDOT, the Metropolitan Council, and ciries, counties, and others affected by the proposal. (b) All major decisions regarding the proposal shall be considered by the committee before final action is taken, including the timing of each stage of the proposal and the level of funding to be allocated. This will address the problem of unanticipated shifts in scheduling and funding amounts, which have been experienced with Highways 610/10, 100 and 169. (c) Each committee will nm from the time a proposal is under consideration at MnDOT until completion of the project. Committees will also be established for projects currently in process. (d) In addition to the current Highway 610 and 100 committees, committees should be established for Highway t 69 and 1-94. Other committees will follow as needed. (2) Develop a priority-setting mechanism for future highway planning in the north metro Under the leadership of the North Metro Mayors Association, establish review criteria for ranking various highway proposals. Using the criteria, prepare a priontized list of proposals to be presented to MnDOT periodically for their consideration. This procedure can strengthen the position of the north metro area by presenting a umfied proposal to MnDOT and the Metropolitan Council. (3) Continue to communicate with businesses regarding their transportation needs. Under the leadership of the North Metro Mayors Association, survey area businesses periodically for their assessment of transportation availability and needs. Include their input in setting priorities for future highway projects. 21 VI. Transit in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area In~oduction While highway access is important in supporting both new and existing economic development, the availability of public transportation (transit) is also an important factor in providing access to employment and other destinations. The relatively low population density of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, and particularly its suburban communities, creates a difficult environment in which to provide a transit system to serve the needs of widely-scattered businesses and residential areas. With growth continuing ou~vard in all directions, the challenges facing the transit system can only increase. This section describes the basic transit system in the Twin Cities area, who provides transit services, and how much the system costs. Transit priorities and plans for changes and improvements in the system are also discussed. The following section covers transit needs and improvements in the north metro area, and the importance of transit to businesses and the transit- dependent population. The Twin Cities Transit System The transit system, as described in this section, is made up of all of the various large and small bus systems in the Twin Cities area, including regular and express route service, as well as local paratransit and specialized transit services. Taken together, these transit services provided more than 67 million rides in 1994, as follows: Table Four 1994 Transit System Ridership Regular Route Services: Metropolitan Council Transit Operations (MCTO) Other Regular Route Subtotal Regular Route Metro Mobility Community-Based Services Annual Boardings 62,487,000 1,966,074 1,573,000 66,026,074 1,078,025 530,909 Total AllServices 67,366,798 Source: Metropolitan Council Transit Operations 22 Re~lar Route Service The largest provider of transit services, MCTO, provides 94.6 percent of all regular route service. Opt-Out providers provide 3 percent, and other providers provide the remaining 2.4 percent. Opt-Out transit service providers include the Cities of Maple Grove, Plymouth, and Shakopee, the Southwest Metro Transit Commission (serving Chaska, Chanhassen and Eden Prairie), and the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA), which includes Rosemount, Bumsville, Apple Valley, Eagan, Savage, and Prior Lake. Ridership for the Opt-Out transit services is as follows: Provider 1994 Ridership MVTA 1,036,577 Southwest Metro 420,825 Maple Grove 247,903 Plymouth 208,317 Shakopee 52,452 Total 1,966,074 Ridership on the Opt-Out regular route transit services has increased steadily in these rapidly- growing commumfies. Other regular route transit service providers include Umversity of Minnesota Route 52, Route 55, North Suburban, BE Line, Roseville Circulator, and Valley Transit. Ridership on these private transit services during 1994 was as follows: Provider 1994 Ridership Route 52 490,651 Route 55 238,794 North Suburban 174,464 BE Line 225,104 Roseville Circulator 146,269 Valley Transit 29,508 Total 1,304,790 Unlike the Opt-Out services, these private transit services as a group lost ridership over the past year. Only the BE Line and the Roseville Circulator increased their ridership from 1993. Between 1993 and 1994, MCTO ridership decreased by over 1 million boardings. Paratran.~it Services Included in this category are general public dial-a-ride services and specialized transportation services for people with disabilities. 23 General Public Dial-a-Ride Several commumties provide demand-respomive transit service to their residents. These are usually smaller urban commumties with limited transit service or rural areas where there is no other transit service available. General Public Dial-a-Ride services are provided by the Anoka County Traveler, the Cities of Plymouth and Shakopee, Columbia Heights Shared Ride Paratransit Program, Dakota County Volunteer Transportation Program, I-Iastmgs "TRAC", Hopkins "Hop- A-Ride, Lake Area Bus, Lakeville Volunteer Program, Northeast Suburban Transit (NEST), and Southwest Metro Transit Commission. _S~pecialized Transportation Services Specialized transportation services are provided through the Metro Mobility program and several county paratransit programs. Metro Mobility is the prmdpal paratransit service for people with disabilities in the Twin Cities area. Metro Mobility serves 60 communities in the metropolitan transit taxing district, offering door-to-door service on an advanced reservation basis. In 1994, Metro Mobility provided 1,078,025 rides. For a significant portion of riders (67 percent), Metro Mobility is their only means of transportation. More than half of the riders are at least 70 years old. County providers provide specialized transportation services in Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Scott and Washington Counties, similar to Metro Mobility service. These programs use a mix of lift- equipped vans and volunteer drivers with personal automobiles. Many nonprofit agencies also provide specialized transportation services throughout the metropolitan area. The Cost of Transit Services Proposed public transit expenditures for 1995 total $170,481,256, while anticipated revenues equal $162,712,921, a shortfall of $7,768,335. Efforts to balance the budget include an Opt-Out contribution of $2,000,000, carryover funds from 1994, and an increase in state appropriations, among others. Funding sources for transit include the property tax, state appropriations, federal funds, fares, and other sources. For Regular Route transit, operating revenue sources are in the following proportions: Revenue Source Percent of Budget Property Tax 46 percent Fares 31 percent State appropriations 12 percent Other 6 percent Federal funds 5 percent ~2 Regional Transit Boar& Vision '99, Regional Transit Service and Capital Plan, 1995-1999. 24 For Metro Mobility, operating revenue sources are as follows: Revenue Source Percent of Budget State appropriations 86 percent Fares 10 percent Other 4 percent Community-Based programs have the following sources of revenue: Revenue Source Percent of Budget State appropriations 43 percent Property tax 31 percent Fares, local 25 percent The largest share of property tax revenues is used for Regular Route transit, which is also the only category receiving federal transit funds. Metro Mobility receives no funds from the property tax, realizing the bulk of its funding from state appropriations. Fares account for almost one-third of the budget for Regular Route transit, but only 10 percent of the budget for Metro Mobility. The Community-Based programs receive a higher percent of their funding from state appropriations, and a lower percent from property taxes, compared to Regular Route transit. Because of the 1995 budget shortfall, a number of existing Regular Route transit routes are proposed for elimination or cutbacks in service. These routes currently experience low ridership and have well above average subsidy costs per rider. Final decisions on proposed cutbacks have not been made at the time of this report. Of the transit routes requesting expansion in 1995, only the Opt-Out expansions have been approved, reflecting their growing ridership trends and carryover funds from previous years. Fare increases have not been proposed for 1995 because they would result in decreased ridership. The main competator to transit, the private automobile, continues to enjoy low operating costs. In 1979, the base transit fare was $.30, and the price of gas was near $1.00 per gallon. In 1994, the base transit fare was $1.00, and the cost of gas remained near $1.00.13 Transit Priorities and Plans for Improvements in the System Regional transit policy includes three major priorities for transit service delivery: Service to Transit Dependent People. This goal calls for targeting regular route service to areas with high numbers of transit dependent people, such as the central cities. Paratransit service will be enhanced in areas not served by regular route service. Service to Underserved Areas. This goal responds to legislative direction to increase suburban transit services, including regular route and dial-a-ride services. ~3 Transit budget information from the Metropolitan Council Transit Operating Budget Review, November, 1994. 25 Congestion Relief. This goal is to provide express services that attract new transit users in congested corndors. These services are most effective where preferential treatments, such as ramp bypasses and high-occupancy vehicle lanes, are provided. ~4 These priorities support several transit approaches, including reverse-commute services for lower- income, central city residents seeking employment in expanding suburban job markets; HOV lanes on busy suburban highway; and increases in local transit in many suburban commumties. In response to increasing concems that, because both population and employment have dispersed throughout the metropolitan area, transit does not go where people need to go any more, the Regional Transit Board (now a part of the Metropolitan Council) has designed a Hub and Spoke system to replace the current radial transit system. Under the radial system, most transit routes center on the downtown areas of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Service from suburb to suburb usually involves riding from one suburb to the downtown area and transfermg to another route to reach the suburban destination. The proposed Hub and Spoke System includes 19 transit hubs around the metropolitan area, including the two downtowns and a number of major regional shopping centers, as well as the airport and the University of Minnesota. At each of these hubs, a number of regular transit routes would be scheduled to stop at the same times, making transfers convement and reliable and cutting the time necessary for suburb to suburb transit travel. In many cases, local circulator routes are also planned to take passengers to the transit hubs. See Map 2, provided by the Regional Transit Board, now the Metropolitan Council. Several of the designated transit hubs are already in use, including those at Northtown, Rosedale, Southdale, and Mall of America. Additional discussion of transit hubs appears in the next section. Sullllnarv The Twin Cities transit system consists of both regular route and specialized transit services which provided more than 67 nUllion rides in 1994 Most transit serWce is prov/ded in the developed and developing portions of the region. Paratransit services are provided in rural parts of the region, primarily for people with disabilities. Transit funding comes from several sources, including property taxes, fares, state appropriations, other, and federal funds. Metro Mobility is funded almost entirely by state appropriations and receives no property tax revenue. The proposed 1995 transit budget has a $7.8 million shortfall, making it difficult to fund proposed system improvements. Priorities for the transit system include serving the transit-dependent population, increasing service in poorly-served areas, and relief of traffic congestion. To improve transit service, particularly among suburban locations, a new hub and spoke system has been proposed to replace the current radial system. Regional Transit Board, Op.

Transit Needs and Improvements in the North Metro Area Employers in Maple Grove were surveyed regarding the need for transit to their job sites. Responses included: "Would improve ability to attract entry-level employees." "Low-income persons/employees would benefit from a transit service." "Fewer car parking problems." "We can't always fill all openings." "As a part of the energy-conservation movement." "Some would like to work for us but don't have a car.''~s A review of transit needs assessments in several north metro area communities, as well as interviews with a number of suburban officials in the north metro area, indicates that transit needs fall into one or more of the following categories: · Better transit service within suburban communities Better suburb-to-suburb transit service · Better service to suburban employment locations Better service for transit-dependeut populations Better Transit Service Within Suburban Communities and from Suburb to Suburb Local Transit Needs Assessments A number of local transit needs assessments have indicated interest in local service for shopping. medical appointments, work trips, and as feeders to other transit routes.~6 The service most ofl;en discussed was dial-a-ride service. Fixed-route service was less popular because it offered less flexibility and was unlikely to be supported by sufficient demand. However, none of the cities included in these needs assessments has been able to secure dial-a-ride service to date. Fixed-route service has been added in Brooklyn Center, Route 82C, which began as a Demonstration Route and has now become a permanent route from Brookdale to 69th Avenue and Humboldt, serving Brookdale, Shingle Creek Parkway, Brookdale Library, Hennepin County Service Center, Brooklyn Center City Hall, and the Hennepin Care North Women and Children's Clinic. ~ Maple Grove Transit System, Transit Needs Assessment. 1995. ~6Local transit studies covered the cities of Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, Osseo, Crystal and Brooklyn Center. 27 Anoka Count,~ Traveler In response to the need for local transit service in Anoka County, the Anoka County Traveler is a paratransit (dial-a-ride) service available to all cotmty residents except Columbia Heights and Hilltop, which have their own local service. Demand for the service is great, with 50 or more calls for service tumed down each day. People using the service may ride to any destination within the county or to a transfer point where regular route transit is available. The Anoka County Traveler currently operates 12 buses and plans to request additional buses when renegotiating its contract later this year. A large share of its ridership is older people and people with disabilities. Families are eligible to use the service. However, car seats are required for young children, which excludes families that do not have them. Northwest Comdor Transit Summit Needs for local transit service were also identified at the Northwest Comdor Transit Summit meeting hosted by the MTC (now Metropolitan Council) in 1994. Local representatives at this meeting identified five new transit service segments they would like to see added, including: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Downtown Osseo to North Hennepin Community College Connection from Boone to Broadway along Brooklyn Boulevard Link Southern Zane Avenue to North Hennepin Community College Provide service the length of Brooklyn Boulevard Service along 85th Avenue from Zane to Highway 252 All of these services affect Brooklyn Park, although Osseo and Brooklyn Center are also included in (a) and (d), respectively. While none of these new transit service segments have been implemented to date, the City of Brooklyn Park is working with the MCTO on local transit services at this time. Success _bX Six Transit Study Perhaps the most extensive transit study affecting local transit service has been the study undertaken by the Success by Six Northwest Transportation Committee in 1992. This study covered the transportation needs of primarily lower-income families with children in Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, Maple Grove, New Hope, Osseo, Plymouth, Robbinsdale, and, to a smaller extent, the other commumties served by the Northwest Hennepin Human Services Council. The study identified important transportation needs for a large segment of potential suburban transit riders, lower-income families with children, by mapping the residential locations and transportation destinations of these families. Survey responses indicated transit needs similar to those in the local needs assessments, including primarily travel within the community and from suburb to suburb. Destinations most often cited were health care providers, grocery stores, post- secondary classes, child's school, work, and welfare office/govemment center. 28 The study recommended a continuing effort to work with the MTC and RTB (now Metropolitan Council) to redesign existing transit routes in the area, with strong support for the proposed Hub and Spoke system. Other specific route changes were also recommended, along with the use of regular surveys of prospective customers before finalizing new route plans. The report strongly urged human service providers to offer transportation services, to locate near transit routes, and to consider well-located shared facilities. The need for paratransit services (circulators, dial-a-ride) was also cited, noting that there are currently 23 paratransit services for older people in the area, but none for families. Rule changes were urged to allow current paratransit services to be available for families, and to allow other transit options such as off-hours use of school buses. Changes to current insurance and licensing requirements were also suggested as ways to increase paratransit options. The Success by Six Transportation Committee continues to meet and to be available to work with transit providers. Some of its recommendations for route changes have been implemented. One of its recommendations, to extend transit service to the Target/Cub area on Brooklyn Boulevard, has been broadened to create a mini transit hub at that location for four transit routes. ~7 The Brookdale Transit Hub The Brookdale regional shopping center already serves as a hub for a number of transit routes in its area. However, the goal is to have 12 transit routes converge at the site for convenient transfering. The 1995 transit budget includes $1,650,000 to develop this hub, the largest expenditure proposed for any transit hub in the 1995-97 capital improvements budget. The Brookdale Hub has not developed as rapidly as planned, despite its potential to greatly enhance transit service in the area, particulatly service to other suburbs. The Brookdale Center management has expressed concerns regarding excessive wear and tear on the parking lots from large buses, and concerns that the transit hub will attract large numbers of young people to congregate in the area, potentially driving away Brookdale customers. The use of smaller buses for some routes, and increased policing services have been suggested as possible solutions to these problems. Other Transit Hubs The 1995-97 transit capital improvements budget also contains funding for the transit hubs at Northtown ($998,000) and Broadway Boulevard/42nd ($200,000) in the north metro area, along with funding for transit hubs in Eden Prairie, Bumsville, Bloomington, and Southdale in the south metro area. The total cost budgeted for the 1995-97 north metro area transit hubs is $2,848,000. The cost budgeted for the transit hubs in the south metro area for the same period is $5,062,000. By 1997, the region will have invested almost $28 million in public funds (including federal, as well as state and local funds) for the development of transit hubs. The south metro area received the largest share of the funds, a total of $12,798,000. The north metro area's share was $5,210,000. The remaining $9,926,000 was spent in Minneapolis and St. Paul. See Table Five. Information for this section was taken from the Success by Six Northwest Transportation Report, 1992. 29 Success by Six and other groups in the north metro area have proposed several locations for additional transit hubs in the north metro area. It is recommended that they be given consideration.

As employment opportunities continue to expand out from the central cities to the developing suburbs, it is difficult for the regular route transit system to adjust to demands for expanded service. This situation places central city residents who rely on public transit at a disadvantage for new suburban job opportunities. And, it places many suburban employers at a disadvantage by decreasing their pool of potential employees and maximizing the space they must provide for employee parking. 30 Reverse-Commute In recent years, a number of reverse-commute transit routes have been established to serve businesses in suburban areas. Reverse-commuting refers to providing transit service from the central dries out to suburban employment areas during mommg rush hours, and retummg to the central dries a~er work, at just the times when most buses are going in the other directions. The Southwest Metro transit service transports about 400 workers per day from Minneapolis to jobs in Chaska, Eden Praihe and Chanhassen. Southwest Metro would like to expand the service if additional buses could be made available. They have not marketed the service heavily to employers because of the lack of buses, but they feel that up to 500 additional jobs could be available for central city workers if the service could be expanded. Reverse-commute service has also been provided by the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority and other Opt-Out transit services. The Maple Grove system began a small reverse-commute program in 1994, serving one of the largest local businesses, The Printer of Minnesota. Maple Grove worked with a Minneapolis social service organization to identify potential employees for this company. The Radisson South Hotel in Bloomington has requested reverse-commute service to help fill 20 to 30 job openings, but the service has not been available to date in that area, although buses from Minneapolis are routed to the transit hub at the Mall of America. To date, most reverse-commute services have been offered to employers in the south and southwest metro areas through their Opt-Out transit service providers. Only Maple Grove has been able to provide this service in the north metro area. Other Transit Services for Businesses Although there is very little reverse-commute service for businesses in the north metro area, regular bus service has been expanded to meet the needs of some businesses. For example, the City of Brooklyn Park worked with MCTO to gain expansion of transit service to Damark, its largest employer. That service is now available. And, as part of the transit hub system at Rosedale, mimbuses now feed out to local employers, providing transit service for the first time to Mag-Con, Inc., and other businesses in Roseville. Transit hubs will greatly increase access to suburban employment opportunities by coordinating transfers, making suburb to suburb bus trips faster and more convement. Affordable Housing In addition to reverse-commute transit services, suburban employers may also benefit from lower- cost housing available near their businesses, especially if local transit service is also available nearby. Cities in the north metro area could benefit from increased transit service near lower-cost housing areas, traveling to local employment areas. Employers seeking sites for their businesses might be likely to select sites in communities with affordable housing available nearby. 31 Better Service forTransit-Del~endent Pooulations A major priority of the transit system is providing service to the transit-dependent population. This population includes five groups, as follows: Low-income people (200 percent of poverty or less) Older people (ages 55 and up) Youth (ages 18 and under) Households with no automobile People with Disabilities These population groups are not mutually exclusive, however, so they cannot be totalled to arrive at a single number for any given city or area. Both the north and south metro areas have large transit-dependent populations. See Table Six. Table Six Transit-Dependent Populations Category North Metro Area South Metro Area Low-Income People 112,921 103,706 63,392 76,315 Youth 231,760 217,607 HouseholdswithNo Car 12,976 13,044 ~bilities 12,636 14,326 Source: 1990 Census One of the most important population groups, the low-income population, is considerably higher in the north metro area, which has 9,215 more low-income people than the south metro area. The north metro area also has a larger youth population, a group that is generally too young to drive, and for which specialized transit service is rarely available. Specialized transit service for older people is far more common. In the Northwest Hennepin County area, for example, there are 23 specialized transit services for older people, but none for younger families or youth. Many low-income people rely on transit to ride to and from work. It is very important that transit service be available near their residential locations, and that there be convement transfer points, as needed, to a variety of employment locations throughout the area. Summary Most transit routes in the north metro area lead to either Minneapolis or St. Paul. Transit service from suburb to suburb is less often available, usually requiting a trip downtown and a transfer to another bus to reach the suburban destination. Many communities in the north metro area have no local transit service for shopping, medical appointments, work trips or other local travel needs. 32 Specialized transit service is often available for older people and people with disabilities, but less often for families with children. Transit service is important to many suburban employers, particularly for entry-level jobs. Very little reverse-commute semce is available to the north metro area. The noah metro area has a large transit-dependent population in need of all types of transit services. 33 VIH. Future Plans for Transit Funding for public transit service has not been adequate to provide all needed transit improvements in recent years, and it is not anticipated that funding levels will increase significantly in the near future. Because of this, it is improtant that scarce dollars be used as wisely as possible to increase efficiency and obtain the best possible service. The following are ideas for improvements suggested by many of the sources that contributed information for this report. (1) Increase local and community involvement in planning transit services. Transit service in the opt-out commumties has been successful in attracting increasing levels of ridership. Management of the opt-out systems involves both local management and the involvement of the MCTO. A management model similar to this could be extended to other communities. If funding for transit shifts from the property tax to the proposed half-cent sales tax, local communities should be involved in determimng how the funds are used. Also, commumties should retain the option of levying a property tax for local transit services. Committees of citizens, such as the Success by Six Northwest Transportation Committee, should be established throughout the area to provide ongoing input into transit route planning, specialized services, and other transit issues. (2) Increase the involvement of transit riders, potential riders, and businesses in planning transit services. Surveys of these groups should be conducted regularly, at least annually, to determine changes in transit needs in light of changing demographics and development pattems. Clearinghouses should be established to receive information from businesses needing transit service. Potential transit riders should also be able to call the cleannghouses. (3) Review rules and regulations affecting the provision of transit service. Many private, nonprofit organizations might be able to provide specialized transit services for people of all ages if licensing and insurance regulations could be adjusted to be less costly and to permit the use of volunteer drivers. School buses might also be available during off-peak hours. (4) Encourage employers to subsidize the cost of transit services for their employees. Employers that benefit from transit services for their employees, including Metro Mobility riders, should be encouraged to subsidize the cost of transit services through reduced-cost bus passes or direct payments to the transit service. Employers may prefer to establish their own transit services through van pools or similar programs. 34 (s) Support the prompt development of transit hubs in various locations throughout the north metro area. Transit hubs allow passengers to travel from suburb to suburb far more convemently than the old radial system of transit routes. To be successful, they need convenient local feeder service, as well as adequate maintenance and safety provisions. Cities and businesses should be involved in their development and assist with the ongoing support of transit hubs. (6) Support transit demonstration programs that explore a variety of options for transit service. An example of a successful transit demonstration program is the Route 82C service in Brooklyn Center, which is now a permanent local transit route. Other types of transit programs that should be considered, particularly in areas of lower population density, include van service from various population centers to transit hubs, local dial-a-ride services, preferential parking spaces for carpools, cab vouchers for off-hours travel, and other options. Local transportation committees should be given the opportunity to explore various options and propose them to transit systems. 35 Appendix A.

Freeh, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. 20535 Advisory: Committee on Uniform Crime Records, International Association of Chiefs of Police; Committee on Uniform Crime Reporting, National Sheriffs' Association; Criminal Justice Information Services Advisory Policy Board Data users are cautioned against comparisons of crime trends presented in this report and those estimated by the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), administered by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Because of differences in methodology and crime coverage, the two programs examine the Nation's crime problem from somewhat different perspectives, and their results are not strictly comparable. The definitional and procedural differences can account for many of the apparent discrepancies in results from the two programs. The Department of Justice fact sheet, "The Nation's Two Crime Measures," contains a detailed description of the NCVS and UCR. U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Wa~hingto..

Individuals using these tabulations are cautioned against drawing conclusions by making direct comparisons between cities due to the many factors which affect the amount and type of crime from place to place. Some of these factors are listed in the annual Uniform Crime Reports. More valid use can be made of these figures by determining deviations from national averages and through compar- isons with averages for cities in similar population groups. (Table 1) It is important to remember that crime is a social problem, and therefore, a concern of the entire community. The efforts of law enforcement are limited to factors within its control. Data users can obtain assistance by calling (202) 324-5015.

The planting was well organized and went as planned. Two areas have yet to be planted but will be complete by May 26, 1995. This was our third planting since we became organized. In this one event 43 people volunteered to participate (this does not include people in groups such as "Girl Scouts" or "Women of Today", only the group contact person was counted). Our sights are now set on the remaining projects for 1995 as previously outlined. Following is the Beautification Projects budget accounting to date: BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT BUDGET REPORT AS OF MAY 23, 1995: Adopted Expended Plant material 1200.00 944.31 Rototiller 200.00 200.00 Edging 225.00 19.15 Fertilizer 200.00 10.15 Preen 50.00 0.00 Black dirt 500.00 0.00 Recognition T-Shirts 375.00 347.50 Refreshments 125.00 33.60 Advertising/Posters 200.00 0.00 Work at ttuset Park 2000.00 0.00 Rainbow Project 350.00 0.130 Consultant 1000.00 0.00 Administrative Costs 1800.00 ~ Totals $8225.00 $2777.71 Sincerely, Michelle L.

FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55421 May 2, 1995 City Council City of Columbia Heights 590 40th Avenue N.E. Columbia Heights, MN 55421 Dear City Council Members: I respectfully request authorization to sell novelties at the Columbia Heights Jamboree Parade and Firework's Display June 24th. For the Jamboree Parade my intention is to sell toys and balloons along the parade route the evening of June 23, 1995. We usually use 2 or 3 grocery carts for this purpose. We will only be selling 1 hour before the parade and until the parade is completed, a total of 2 to 3 hours. For the June 24th Firework Display I request permission to sell novelties, such as Glow Necklaces and Silly String, starting a couple of hours before the firework display. I am a active Columbia Heights Lion's member and participation in many community functions. I would appreciate special consideration on a blanket permit, totaling $50.00; to cover the 2 or 3 selling units at the Jamboree Parade and consent to sell novelties at the Firework Display. A $100.00 permit for each unit would cost me $200 or $300 and would be prohibitive, because of the cost and nature of the business, i.e. weather conditions, etc. Thank you for any consideration you can give me in this matter.

CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TO: FROM: DATE: RE: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PATRICK HENTGES, CITY MANAGER MAY 25, 1995 CITY MANAGER'S REPORT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 30, 1995 1) SHARED RIDE REPORT Attached please find Shared Ride statistics through March, 1995. 2) STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS I have received a number of positive comments towards the strategic plan as developed and presented by the City Council during Heights Pride week. The next "Heights Highlights" newsletter will feature the strategic plan. I expect that mailing will be disseminated around the end of June. 3) HEIGHTS PRIDE WEEK I am preparing an accounting of Heights Pride Week activities and will be forwarding the status of the budget to the City Council in the very near future. The Heights Pride Coramittee had a recap meeting on Thursday. One of the major discussions was the proximity of the Housing Fair activities with the Community Picnic. Overall, many favorable comments were received. 4) CITY LOT SALES STATUS The City received proposals from Habitat, First Choice Homes, and an individual for the purchase and/or the construction of homes on various surplus City lots. We've extended the date to approximately June 16th, so that a few additional builders or contractors could make proposals. At the June 19th work session, the Council is scheduled to review the proposals. In the meantime, City staff is also evaluating steps necessary to implement a scattered site tax increment project for the city-owned lots, together with various properties in the housing inventory report that could be included in a voluntary acquisition program. 5) BLOCK BUILDERS HOUSE PURCHASE Be advised that Block Builders (through ACCAP) has successfully closed on the acquisition of the home at 675 47th Avenue N.E. As a point of information, the County also participated in the project in the amount of $2,000. It is my understanding that the $2,000 that the County contributed was deducted from Columbia Heights' CDBG funds. Thus, the City of Colurabia Heights really contributed $15,000 towards the project. 6) CORRESPONDENCE AND REPORTS Attached please find correspondence from various agencies: Anoka County Association of Realtors--Sales Recaps Greater Anoka County Humane Society--Fee Charges Metropolitan Council/Wastewater Services 1994 Final Sewer Cost Allocation Metropolitan Council/Wastewater Services 1995 First Quarter Flow Calculation North Metro Mayors Association--Transportation and Economic Development Study. FBI--Uniform Crime Index 7) BEAUTIFICATION PROJECT - STATUS REPORT Attached please find the status of the Beautification Budget as of May 23, 1995. As you can see, the Heights Pride Week's planting efforts were quite successful, Further into the year, City staff will discuss with the Committee alternatives for the Old Fashioned Skating Rink mound including the possible construction of a gazebo. It is hoped that volunteer and service groups would assist with a project of this nature. 8) PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER SEARCH I have been less than satisfied with the applicants for the Public Works Director position. I am told that the extensive turnover in other city Public Works Director positions last year have limited interest in Columbia Heights' position. I have discussed interim management alternatives with the senior supervisory staff of the Public Works Department. I will also be monitoring the search for Public Works Director in Lino Lakes, in that it has been similarly advertised and near the salary range of Columbia Heights. At the June 19th work session, I will brief the Council in further detail, as to staffing alternatives. 9) HONEYWELL/HILLCREST PROPERTY I have scheduled June 5th as further discussion on the redevelopment proposal with Honeywell/Hillcrest property. All the parties involved will be present to discuss the redevelopment proposal. Additionally, the City has had discussions with Hillcrest confirming the sale of the parcel adjacent to Huset Park and will have a final position developed by the meeting. 10) CITY HALL 40TH AVF_,NUE PARKING/BUS STOP Be advised that the MTC shelter is now moved. It is City Staff's intention to discuss with the Traffic Commission the rearrangement of parking on 40th Avenue to better accommodate the bus stop, and the possibility of a curbside utility/City Hall clropbox, and U.S. mailbox space. We have found that the current utility box has anywhere from 350 to 400 utility bills dropped per month, despite the fact that customers do have to get out of their car. Additionally, the U.S. postal box also gets a fair amount of usage. An auto drop may further increase the utilization and provides for the possibility of other utility drops such as NSP, Minnegasco, Cable, etc. The proposal also intends to provide at least one or two short term customer parking spaces. 11) CITY ATTORNEY ON SITE OFFICE City staff will have an on-site office for the City Attorney in the next two weeks. The hold-up to this date has been the remodeling and the installation of a computer terminal in the office. The office hours for the attorney will likely be Wednesday morning for civil matters and perhaps another block of hours during the week for the criminal attorney to meet with the police officers. I will formally advise you when the office is in operation. cb 95/41 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS 590 40th Avenue N. E.
