EXPLANATION OF FORMAT FOR HEARING ON PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS FOR
STREET REHABILITATION FOR ZONE 1
Acting City Manager/Public Works Director Mark Winson explained the format for this evening's
meeting.
Mr. Winson stated he would review in detail the three major improvements that will be discussed
this evening. For each major improvement, an explanation of the assessments involved would
be covered. Then the audience will be asked for their comments and questions on each project.
After comments and questions are finished, the Council will consider the resolutions involving
all the projects.
PRESENTATION OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON STREET IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM
Mr. Winson provided a brief background on the overview of the street program.
First, he explained that the City has the authority to order streets improvements and to assess
benefitting properties under Section 75 of the City Charter and under MSS, chapters 429 and 435.
With many roads in the city being constructed before 1970, there are many in need of repair or
some reconstruction. In the fall of 1994, the City Engineer visually evaluated every street in
zone one to determine a fashion in which streets would benefit from rehabilitation. From th/s
review, a priority list of streets was developed.
On February 26, 1996, the City Council adopted Resolution 96-28, which set forth a program for
city-wide street rehabilitation and maintenance. The resolution divides the City into seven streets
zones for purposes of seal coating and street rehabilitation. This program is intended to provide
appropriate rehabilitation methods to extend the useful life of the existing pavement. This results
in lower overall costs that can be expected if the street is reconstructed at the end of its useful
life.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING
APRIL 1, 1996
PAGE 2
The three rehabilitation methods were explained:
Reconstruction: This process is used when there appears to be a general failure of the subgrade,
,requiring the subgrade to be recompacted. Reconstruction includes the removal of existing
asphalt, gravel base and curb and gutter. The sub-base is recompacted. New concrete curb and
gutter, six inches of Class 5 gravel base, two inch asphalt binder course and two inch asphalt
wear course are installed. All underground utilities are evaluated and replaced if necessary.
Cold in-place Recycling and Overlay: This process is ~used when there does not appear to be
a general failure of the subgrade, but the existing asphalt surface is in such poor condition that
it cannot adequately support an overlay. This process in~iudes removal and replacement of failed
sections of concrete curb and gutter. The existing gravel base and asphalt are ground up and
reused as a new gravel base course. A new structUral asphalt section of two inch asphalt base
course and two inch asphalt wearing course are installed.
Mill and Overlay: This process is used when the subgrade has not failed and the existing
asphalt surface is able to adequately support a structural overlay. The intent of the overlay is to
add strength to the existing pavement section and prevent migration of water into the underlying
pavement layers. The process involves the removal and replacement of failed sections of
concrete curb and gutter. The existing asphalt pavement is milled adjacent to curb to allow
installation of the full depth of the overlay in this area without creating a lip. Before installation
of the new two inch structural asphalt overlay, minor areas of surface damage are repaired.
Mr. Winson stated that per Resolution 96-28, the City Engineer has divided the City into seven
street rehabilitation zones. Zone 1, scheduled for 1996, is the area of the southeastern portion
of the City bounded by Central Avenue, 37th Avenue, Reservoir Boulevard, and 45th Avenue.
An analysis of Zone 1 done by Public Works indicated, that with the exception of three streets,
all could benefit from at least a structural overlay. Funding constraints limit the total number
of streets that can be rehabilitated in 1996. Funds in the Infrastructure Fund, established in 1992,
will be used to pay a portion of the costs of the annual street which would reduce assessments
to the benefitting properties. '
Mr. Winson also stated that an alternative to any of the above listed projects is "Do Nothing".
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ZONE 1:
Staff recommends the following:
Reconstruction for Gould Avenue and. Leander Lane. The PIRs involved are 906 and
901, Project Nos. 9415 and 9419. Engineering, Administration, and Construction Costs
are estimated at a total of $224,489. Water service replacement costs could be $31,000.
Cold in-place Recycling and Overlay for 43rd Avenue~ McLeod Street, and Royce Street.
The PIRs involved are 907, 908, and 909, Project Nos. 9416, 9417, and 9418.
Engineering, Administration, and Construction Costs are estimated at a total of $254,283.

Mill and Overlay for Peter's Place, 41st Avenue, and 45th Avenue. The PIRs involved
are 911,912, and 914, Project Nos. 9420, 9421, and 9423. Engineering, Administration
and Construction Costs are estimated at a total of $117,798.
The total of all projects is estimated at $627,569.
It was explained to the audience that the past city policy has been to assess 100% of the total
project cost to the benefitting properties for street improvement projects.
Under the Street Rehabilitation Program, the Council has proposed to not assess for the
engineering and administration costs for the project, and ~hese costs will be absorbed by the City.
The amount of City contribution to the construction cost will be determined annually, based on
the availability of funding, with the following approximate proposed cost splits:
For the Reconstruction Project: 40% City/60% Assessed
For the Cold-in Place Recycle/Overlay Project: 20% City/80% Assessed
For Mill/Overlay Project: 20% City/80% Assessed
The following is a breakdown of where the funding for the projects will come from:
Assessments to benefitting properties (Streets) $336,869.00
Assessments to benefitting properties (Water Service)
Infrastructure Fund
Sewer Fund (for Storm Sewer Improvements)
General Fund (Absorbed Engineering & Administration)
Total
$ 31,000.00
$118,165.00
$ 11,000.00
$130,535.1%
$627,569.12
Assessments costs per street and avenue foot based on cost sharing by rehabilitation type are
listed below:
For Reconstruction, the proposed assessment policy is $36.00 per street foot and $12.00
per avenue foot, with a 15 year assessment period.
For Cold in-Place Recycling and Overlay, the proposed assessment policy is $15.00 per
street foot and $5.00 per avenue foot, with a 10 year assessment period.
For Mill and Overlay, the proposed assessment policy is $12.00 per street foot and $4.00
per avenue foot, with a 10 year assessment period.
The proposed interest rate on the unpaid portion of the assessm'ents is 9.5%.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Mr. Winson stated that based upon the above information:
- the City Engineer advises the City Council that the proposed improvements for the
1996 Street Rehabilitation Program are feasible.
the construction techniques proposed to be used to construct the improvements are
applicable and correct.

CALL TO ORDER
Council President Peterson called the Board of Review to order
at 7:00 p.m.
Jones, Ruettimann, Peterson- present
Mayor Sturdevant and Councilmember Jolly were out of town.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF THE BOARD OF REVIEW
The Council President stated that the purpose of the Board of
Review was to review property valuations as of January 2, 1996
for taxes payable 1997 and to hear appeals from citizens who
feel aggrieved and have more questions regarding property
valuations.
INTRODUCTIONS
The City Manager introduced the following Anoka County
employees:
Ed Thurston, County Assessor, Carro1 McCain, Residential
Appraiser and Diana Stellmach, Commercial Appraiser.
Mr. Thurston gave a brief overview as to the formula used to
arrive at a property value. He advised residents in attendance
of a sign-in sheet. Their attendance at the Local Board of
Review is required to appear at the County Board of
Equalization Meeting scheduled for June 17, 1996.
5. OUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING PROPERTY. VALUATIONS
4545-47 Fillmore Street and 4456-58 Fillmore Street
The owner of the properties at 4545-47 Fillmore Street and
4556-58 Fillmore Street had questions regarding the values
placed on his buildings. He was of the opinion that the rental
property in the area in which his buildings are located is not
experiencing any activity thereby depreciating in value. He
noted that the increase amounted to 10.4% which he felt was
unjustified.
BOARD OF REVIEW
APRIL 15, 1996
PAGE 2
Se
The Anoka County Assessor had prepared information regarding
the sales of comparable buildings in the area. He mentioned
that the values had increased in the area because of the
improvement in the neighborhood with a new development,
Heritage Heights. This area, formerly identified as the
Sheffield Subdivisions, has experienced considerable
redevelopment.
The Assessor compared two recently-sold buildings to two of
the owner's which were identical in almost every respect. He
recommended the Council take no action to change the assigned
valuations.
4931-33 Jackson Street
The owner of this property feels that it is being devalued
because of some of the activity in the area. She referred to
children playing while she is trying to sleep, people driving
across her lot and auto repair work being done by the
neighbor. Her property value increased $900.
Some of her complaints were recognized as code violations,
trespassing, and non-compliance with City ordinances. It was
the opinion of the Assessor these issues are not considered
within the realm of the taxing authority.
The property has not been viewed since 1992. The Appraiser
will make an appointment to view the property. The City
Manager will pursue her complaints with the appropriate
department staff.
1.~06 Khyber Lane
The owner of this property advised that his property was
devalued 5% last year because of the water problems he has
been experiencing. He addressed all of the associated problems
which affected his house and his land. He stated he feels the
property value placed on his property is acceptable. What he
is requesting is a solution to the water problems.
The city Manager and the County Appraiser made an appointment
to view his property for April 16th at noon.
COUNCIL ACTIONS REGARDING SPECIFIC CASES OR CASES ON WHICH
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS DESIRED
After some discussion regarding individual properties, the
Council felt there was no reason to continue the Board of
Review.

Ro AR¥ MOWER '4 A,
The Park Department has indicated a need to acquire a self propelled high capacity lawn mower. Currently we use three (3) Toro
Groundsmasters equipped with 72" cutting decks and one MT Trackless equipped with a 120" (10') cutting deck to mow city properties.
It takes approximately 7 1/2 days to complete the mowing of all properties.
The goal is to reduce mowing time to approximately four (4) days. This would allow the park crew time to improve the parks as well as
maintain them. The high capacity mower has a cutting width of approx/matety sixteen (16') feet.
Staff has budgeted $55,000 for acquiring a self propelled high capacity lawn mower in the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund, 431-
45200-5150.
Staff is requesting authorization to seek bids for a self propelled high capacity rotary mower using city Unit g216, a 1988 Toro
Groundsmaster as a trade in.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize staff to seek bids for a self-propelled h/gh capacity lawn mower using Toro
Groundsmaster #216 as a trade in.

Approval for On Sale Liquor License and Sunday Sales License
for BW-3 Inc.
DATE: April 4, 1996
We have completed a liquor license investigation on Kenneth Henry Dahlberg, dba BW-3 Inc.,
4811 Central Avenue, Columbia Heights, MN. Mr. Dahlberg has applied for an intoxicating
liquor license and a Sunday sales license for this location. An investigation into the
background of all parties listed and BW-3 Inc. shows nothing out of the ordinary or any
inconsistencies that would lead us not to recommend this business for a liquor license. The
location of the business has been vacant for at least the past year, so there is no reported
activity for this location.
Our recommendation is to approve this License contingent upon the receipt of appropriate
insurance binders as required by state law and City ordinance.

Appendix A
INTRODUCTION
A. CORPORATE OVERVIEW
Medtronic, Inc., is the world's leading therapeutic medical technology company, providing
therapies for treating diseases of the heart's electrical conduction system, for use in
cardiac surgery and other invasive procedures, and for treating pain and controlling
movement disorders.
The company employs more than 10,000 people, has $1.7 billion of revenues from its
businesses: Bradycardia Pacing and Tachyrhythmia Management, which make up the
Pacing business; Heart Valves, Cardiopulmonary, DLP, and Blood Management, which
form Cardiac Surgery; Interventional Vascular; and Neurological. In addition, Corporate
Ventures is seeking ways to expand Medtronic's core technologies to address unmet
medical needs.
Headquartered in Minneapolis, Medtronic does business in more than 120 countries and
its operations are organized into three global areas: Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa,
and Asia/Pacific.
The company's Neurological business in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, produces
implantable systems for a spinal cord stimulation and drug therapy that are used in
treating chronic, intractable pa/n, tremor and spasticity. The world-wide market for these
therapies is about $116 million, of which Medtronic holds a market share in excess of
75%. It is expected that this portion of Medtronic's business will grow dramatically over
the next five years, based upon the company's current success in the overseas markets and
recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval of treatment therapy involving the
SynchroMed drug delivery system. The growth in this market will necessitate the
expansion of the company's Neurological Division and the potential elevation of the
Columbia Heights' facility as a world-wide headquarters for the Neurological businesses.
B. PROJECT OVERVIEW
Medtronic proposes to expand its Columbia Heights' facility as a headquarters/center for
the Neurological Division. phase I includes a 60,000 square foot addition to the current
80,000 square foot building that exists on the property. The new building would be
located directly north of the existing building. The first phase also includes construction
of an additional' 200 parking spaces to the current inventory of 455 spaces. A key
component of the proposed project is expansion of the City's storm drainage, water and
sewer systems in the area, and the acquisition of a three acre city-owned open space
parcel located directly south of their current site.
A second phase is expected to occur in five years. This involves the construction of
another 60,000 square foot building directly south of the existing building, located on the
open space parcel. An additional 226 parking spaces would be constructed in conjunction
with Phase II.
Do
Upon completion of Phase I and Phase II, the 11.7 acre site would be home to 200,000
square feet of building coverage. The site will have 881 total parking spaces to
accommodate approximately the 820 employees that report to work during three
overlapping shifts. This results in a net gain of 450 new employees over a ten year
period, of which 250 new employees will be guaranteed in Phase I. (See enclosed site
concept plan.)
PRIVATE INVESTMENT OVERVIEW
A $4.7 million private investment for building-related costs is budgeted for phase I of the
project. At least $3,000,000 will be invested in equipment, furnishings, and other start-up
costs. It is expected ail but $250,000 of the $7.7 million building and equipment related
costs could be financed through internal funding sources of the company. It is anticipated
it is necessary to cover the cost of nearly $1.5 million for site improvements, soil
corrections, land costs, and related public facilities upgrades. An additional $8.0 million
is expected to be spent in development of Phase II.
PUBLIC ISSUES OVERVIEW
In order to accommodate the Phase I and II of the project, 3 acres of the 3.7 acres of the
city-owned open space parcel would have to be made available to Medtronic for its
buitding needs. Originally, the land was obtained from St. Timothy Lutheran Church, 825
51st Avenue. At the time of purchase, the City discussed with church officials keeping
the land in a passive park state. The final purchas6 documents did not include a
commitment on the pan of the City.
Later discussions with Medtronic at the time of the purchase of the property from
Midland Cooperative indicate the City's interest in transferring the open space property
to Medtronic, if so necessary. The transfer of the land would be subject to removing a
"replacement encumbrance" created when the 3.73 acre land was included in the Lawcon
Grant application that funded the improvements to the Sullivan Lake Park area. A
contr/bution equal to the replacement value of the land should resolve the Lawcon Grant
encumbrance to the City's Park land Fund.
Three other public issues are related to funding various site development problems. The
development problems include upgrading the public facilities, addressing the site's
compact nature anticipated soil problems, and accommodating, employee parking demands.
In order to facilitate the expansion of the Neurological Division in Columbia Heights, the
key public costs and issues are summarized as follows:
* replacement cost for the three acre city-owned open space parcel is valued at
$2.75/sq. ft. or $360,000
* extension of sewer main and increased lift station capacity at a cost of $125,000
* construction of a sedimentation basin at a cost of $45,000
* accomm~>dation of extraordinary landscaping, screening, and berming along 53rd
Avenue and the south partdng lot tine at a cost of $35,000
an extension of the walking trail along the south property line to either 53rd
Avenue or 51st Avenue at a budgeted cost of $26,000
extraordinary soil correction improvements for the building pads and other site
utility issues at a budgeted cost of $463,000
accommodate the employee parking needs caused 'by overlapping shifts, by
expansion and realignment of parking lots at a cost of $381,000
engineering, design, title work for public improvements, and other public-related
costs in the amount of $63,000.
It is anticipated that the use of tax increment financing and other public financing would
be necessary to ensure that the Columbia Heights site would facilitate the needs of
Medtronic's Neurological Division. Without the use of public incentives, the Columbia
Heights site is not economically comparable to the development potential of other sites
within the metro area, or options that would be available to the company in other states.
PUBLIC INCENTIVES OVERVIEW
An Economic Development Tax Increment Financing District would be established on the
site. The district would have a maximum life of nine years of tax increments, paid at an
annual rate of $237,784. The maximum amount of tax increment available after a 10%
administrative fee is $1.123 million present valued at 8.5% rate.
The economic development district carries a 10% local match contribution. The City
must use non-tax increment funds to make this contribution, such as paying for a portion
of utility costs. However, the City is allowed to collect its 10% administrative fee which
could be transferred to the General Fund for sta~ time and overhead devoted to tax
increment administration. It is expected that at least 1.15% of the annual administrative
fee would have to be dedicated to outside legal costs, and administrative charges by the
State of Minnesota and Anoka County. Tax increment financing can only fund $1.123
million of the total $1.498 million of the eligible tax increment costs.
Public financing participation in the $250,000 funding gap would be necessary to keep
the projects in Minnesota and entice the expansion at the Columbia Heights site.
The company has initially discussed with the Minnesota Department of Trading and
Economic Development the possibility of state participation in the form of the state's
Economic Recovery grant/loan fund program.
In addition, the company anticipates a need for an additional $250,000 from the Economic
Recovery grant/loan fund as further inducement to develop the project in Minnesota, and
in particular, the Columbia Heights location. The terms and conditions of the loan/grant
repayment would be negotiated between the State of Minnesota, the company, and the
City of Columbia Heights.
Additional economic development incentives are necessary to keep the project in
Minnesota and to entice the expansion to Columbia Heights.
PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS OVERVIEW
The following assumptions were used in preparing this proposal and were the basis for
the degree or level of public incentive supporu
The current site is 8.2 acres.
The proposed acquisition of the city-owned open space land is approximately three
acres.
The current site has approximately 455 parking spaces.
The existing building is 80,000 square feet.
The existing employment level for the Neurological Division is 340 employees.
The Phase I addition will approximately 60,000 square feet dispersed over two
floors.
The net increase in employees for Phase I will be 250.
The Phase I parking improvements will include 200 additional spaces.
The Phase II addition will approximate 60,000 square feet dispersed over two
floors.
The net increase in employees for Phase lI will be 200.
Phase 1I parking improvements will include 226 additional spaces.
]TI. SITE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
A. OVERVIEW
The existing facility is situated on a parcel of land on the south side of 53rd Avenue
approximately 700 feet west of State Trunk Highway No. 65 (Central Avenue). The site
and the adjoining park land are relatively flat and are adjacent to Sullivan Lake, a DNR
protected water. The site is serviced with water and sanitary sewer by the City of
Columbia Heights. Electrical service is by Northern States Power. Minnegasco provides
natural gas service in this area and U.S. West is the primary telephone service provider.
Storm water issues are locally governed by the Six Cities Watershed Management
Organization, administered by the City of Columbia Heights.
B. WATER SYSTEM
The City of Columbia Heights obtains its water from the City of Minneapolis. The
source of water is the Mississippi River. The water is treated and softened to approxi-
mately 90 mg/1 of calcium carbonate by Minneapolis. The City of Columbia Heights owns
and maintains the distribution system. This area of the City is provided water by gravity
feed from the main Minneapolis reservoir, approximately 200 feet higher than the site.
The distribution system loops around the site with 10" main in 53rd Avenue, Central
Avenue and 51st Avenue and 8" mains west of Sullivan Lake. Static pressure at the site
is estimated to be 75 psi. Available fire flows are estimated at approximately 1000 gp.m
with additional flow available in emergency situations from the City of Fridley water
system on the north side of 53rd Avenue.
It is not anticipated that water system improvements would be necessary to serve the
proposed expansion.
C. SANITARY SEWER
Disposal of sewage within the Twin Cities metropolitan area is handled by Metropolitan
Council Wastewater Services. The collection lines are owned and operated by the City
of Columbia Heights.
The Medtronic site is served by 8" sewer mains feeding to a lift station located south of
the site. It is anticipated that the capacity of this lift station will need to be increased by
approximately 50% to adequately handle the sewage flows generated by the expansion
of the Medtronic facility. Additionally, in order to facilitate the proposed expansion,
approximately 850 feet of new 8" sanitary sewer main will need to be installed as a
portion of existing main would pass under the Phase 2 building expansion. The estimated
cost to expand the lift station capacity and reroute the sanitary sewer main is $125,000.
Please refer to enclosed map.

STORM. DIKAI~AGE
Storm water runoff from the existing Medtronic facility is transported by private storm
sewers directly to Sullivan Lake. It is anticipated that this practice would continue. In
order to protect the water quality of the lake, the City will require a primary sedimenta-
tion basin for all building and parking lot runoff. A sed/mentation area approximately
280' x 120' located in the southwest corner of the site should provide adequate area for
sedimentation. It is estimated that construction of this pond would cost $35,000 to
$45,000.
There exists, within a 45' easement along the south edge of park property to be obtained,
two large diameter storm water mains. As the cost to relocate these mains would be
prohibitive, it is expected that they would remain in their present location.
TRAFFIC
The entrance to the Medtronic facility is located approximately 900 feet west of Highway
65 on 53rd Avenue. The intersection of Highway 65 and 53rd Avenue is signalized with
protected left turn phasing. The intersection is within 1000 feet of the 1-694/Highway 65
interchange.
53rd Avenue is a four-lane arterial in both directions from the site. There is an additional
driving lane eastbound on 53rd Avenue beginning at the facilities entrance.
SOIL CONDITIONS
Soils borings taken in 1978 indicate that the underlying soils are sandy clays and silty
clays. The water table, at the time of the borings, appears to be greater than 10 feet in
the southern portion of the site. Water was not encountered at depths of 30 feet in the
northwest corner of the site.
The park portion of the site was used to dewater silt dredged from Sullivan Lake in 1978.
At a later date, the resulting spoil was mixed with other soils and spread across the area.
It can be assumed that the top 4 to 5 feet of soil is organic.
Specific borings for the determination of the suitability of the soils for supporting a
building have not been done.
PARK LAND
Back in 1978, Midland Cooperative, Inc, 800-53rd Avenue N.E. purchased from the City
of Columbia Heights, approximately 8.36 acres of property adjacent to the Sullivan Lake
Park site. With this purchase agreement, Midland Cooperative furnished the rough
grading for both Active and Passive Recreation Areas in order to meet proposed grades.
Due to funding from the LAWCON Grant the City is obligated to replace park land that's
converted or pay back grant funding.
3.6.
H. LANDSCAPING
The existing Medtronic facility has landscaping planted at the entrance and extending
along 53rd Avenue. During Phase I this landscaping will be extended along the exterior
of the parking lot. This will provide screening between the parking lot and the park.
Parking islands will be provided with landscaping in the existing lot and addit/onal lot
that will be developed. Development of a walking trail along the park and south side of
the building is also being discussed with Medtronic. The budgeted cost for the trail
development is $26,000 and the landscaping/sc, reening allowance is $35,000.
ZONING ISSUES
The property where Medtronic, Inc. is located is zoned RB, Retail Business Zone. All
of the current facility and expansion plans will be within this KB zone, which is a
permitted use. In 1989 the City Council modified the Retail Business Section of the
Zoning Ordinance to permit Medtronic's use. The ordinance amendments relates
specifically to allowing light warehousing and laboratories incidental to processing of
small medical devices. A copy of the ordinance is enclosed.

IV. FINANCIAL PROFILE
A. OVERVIEW
In order to accommodate the initial expansion needs of Medtronic's Neurological Division
at its current Columbia Heights' location, a $9.198 million public and private investment
is necessary. Of the $9.198 million total cost, $4.7 million is required for building-related
costs, $3 million is budgeted for equipment and furnishings, and nearly $1.5 million is
estimated for eligible public improvement-related costs.
Preliminary discussion on project financing have centered around the use of $7.450
million of Medtronic's working capital, $1.123 million "pay-as-you-go" tax increment
financing, and $500,000 of State Grant/Loan assistance. It should be cautioned that the
cost related hereto requires further approval on the part of the company and formal
approval by the City and Housing and Redevelopment Authority pursuant to a public
hearing, and authorization of a formal development agreement.
B. PRIVATE INVESTMENT
Medtronic, Inc. proposes to invest nearly $7.7 million of working capital to expand the
physical plant and facilities of the Neurological Division in Columbia Heights, Minnesota.
$4.7 million is projected cost for the building, and $3 million is the projected cost of
furnishings and equipment. An additional $1.5 million is needed to fund the development
costs, parking needs, soil corrections, and related public utility upgrades. An additional
$8.0 million is expected to be spent in development of Phase II.

C. TAX INCREMENT FINANCING
The public proposal cannot be formally approved in the form of a private development
agreement without first going to the public hearing and/or approval steps. The tax
increment financing details outlined herein are the terms and conditions currently being
discussed by and between company and City officials.
Of the $1.6 to $5 million of eligible public financing costs, approximately $1.123 million
may be funded through tax increment financing. An Economic Development Tax
Increment Financing District will be established on the site. The district would have a
maximum life of nine years of tax increments, paid at an annual rate of $237,784. The
max/mum amount of tax increment available after a t0% administrative fee is $t.123
million present valued at 8.5% rate. The tax increment financing would be paid on an
annual "pay-as-you-go" basis. In other words, as the company pays its real estate taxes,
the City could in turn use the tax increment financing portion to reimburse the company
and the City for eligible development-related costs.
The Economic Development District carries a 10% local match contribution. The City
must use non-tax increment funds to make this contribut/on such as paying a portion of
the utility costs. In this case, the City could pay for the sanitary sewer upgrade of
$125,000 using its sewer construction funds. However, the City is allowed to collect its
10% administrative fee which could be transferred to the General Fund for staff time and
overhead devoted to tax increment financing. It is anticipated that at least 1.15% of the
annual administrative fee would be dedicated to outside legal costs and administrative
charges by the State of Minnesota and Anoka County. (Enclosed please find a
memorandum and related tables from Ehlers and Associates/Publ.iCorp regarding the tax
increment financing projection.)
STATE ECONOMIC RECOVERY FUND PROGRAM
Tax increment financing can only fund approximately $1.123 million of the total $1.625
million of eligible tax increment costs. Assuming the City sewer fund could pay for the
$125,000 sewer main upgrade, a funding gap of approximately $250,000 exists. The
company has initially discussed with the Minnesota Department of Trade and Economic
Development the possibility of state participation in the form of the state's Economic
Recovery grantJloan program. In addition, the company anticipates the need for an
additional $250,000 from the Economic Recovery grant/loan program as further
inducement to develop the project in Minnesota, and in particular Columbia Heights. The
terms and conditions of the $500,000 loan/grant repayment would be negotiated between
the state of Minnesota, the company, and the City of Columbia Heights.

RE: Medtronic Expansion
Attached is a cash flow for the new 60,000 s.f. building on the Medtronic site. It is our
understanding that the new market value of the Phase I building is estimated to be $3.75 million
when completed in 1996 for taxes payable in 1998. Phase II was not factored into this analysis.
We believe that the most likely type of tax increment district which could be established on this
site would be an economic development district. In order to qualify, at least 85% of the square
footage of the building would need to be manufacturing, warehousing, and/or research and
development uses. If the building uses do not meet the use criteria, we may be able to work with
the county on allocating the tax increment on a pro rata basis for the portion of the building
which does qualify. The district has a maximum life of nine years of increment. The maximum
amount of tax increment available after a 10% administrative fee is $1.123 million present
valued at an 8.5% rate.
The City would also need to make a decision on whether or not to take fiscal disparities from
inside or outside of the district. If the fiscal disparities contribution is made from within the
district, the amount of increment would be reduced by at least 20%, but there would be no need
to make up the difference in fiscal disparities contributions from other property in the City.
The economic development district carries a 10% local match contribution requirement to avoid
the LGA/HACA penalty. The City must use non-tax increment funds to make this contribution,
such as donating a portion of the park land or paying' for a portion of the utility costs. However,
the City is allowed to collect its 10% administrative fee which could be transferred to the general
fund for staff time and overhead devoted to tax increment administration.
Please contact me with any questions or ~omments. We would need approximately 60 days prior
to establishing the district for document preparation and notification. No building permit should
be issued prior to the establishment of the district.

ITEM: RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION 88-41, BY: M. WINSON By.~~-~
AUTHORIZING CERTAIN CHARITABLE GAMBLING DATE: 4-17-96 DATE:
No:
Gene Mady of Mady's Bowl and Lounge has requested that the City consider amending Resolution
88-41, which in part limits the rental or lease payment to the proprietor of the licensed
premises to $400 per month. Mr. Mady is requesting that the resolution be changed to allow
the rental or lease payment to be up to $1,000 per month, which is the amount currently
allowed by State Statute.
There has also been discussion over the intent, meaning, and enforceability of the last
sentence in Section 5, which reads:
"No other remuneration shall be paid to the proprietor for permitting the gambling
activity or device to be located on the licensed premises."
It has been stated that this sentence was intended to prohibit payments to the owner above the
rent to cover all or a portion of the cost of utilization which could include trash removal
and cleaning services. Current state statute allows the organization to pay directly to the
utility provider a portion of utility expenses incurred by the proprietor based on a formula.
The interpretation of the courts with regard to what constitutes "remuneration" would be
critical in determining whether payments directly to the service provider by the organization
is in violation of the current resolution.
Most of the surrounding communities allow rent at the statutory maximum of $!,000 per month.
There is a small gra/r~uaticat error in Section 6 which can be corrected at this time by adding
the word "be" before the word "prorated".
Staff is neutral on the resolutions.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of the resolution, there being ample copies
available to the public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 96-46, Resolution amending Resolution 88-41,
authorizing certain charitable gambling, Section 5.

RE:
PROPOSAL FOR RELOCATION CONSULTANT SERVICES
Pierce Street Duplex Relocation
Dear Mr. Elam:
I am writing to submit a proposal in response to your 4/10/96 request
for proposals for relocation consultant services as detailed below.
Wilson Development Services is a real estate consulting business that
specializes in assisting public and private entities with their
community development and real estate development needs. Acquisition
and relocation activities constitute a substantial portion of our
work.
Professional Staff
Dan Wilson - Principal
Dan Wilson, the owner of the firm, has twenty-five years experience
with acquisition and relocation activities under the Uniform Relo-
cation Act. I have worked with the Uniform Act since its inception in
1970. My twenty-five years of experience provides me with a perspec-
tive and practical knowledge of the Uniform Act. I believe that I
have an understanding of the fundamental intent of the Act, as well as
the current interpretation of the regulations.
Self-employed for fifteen years, I have represented numerous
municipalities and public agencies'throughout the State of Minnesota
for both residential and business displacements. I am the primary
contact person for all clients and supervise the activities of
associates.
Kathy Schmieg - Associate
Kathy Schmieg had been in the real estate industry as a realtor for
ten years prior to joining Wilson Development Services as a relocation
consultant. She has worked successfully with the Uniform Act, both
residential and commercial displacements.
510 Chestnut St., Suite 200, Chaska, MN 55318
Office: (612) 448-4630 FAX: (612) 448-4676
Kathy Schmieg and I work as a team on each displacement project. One
of us is always the primary contact person for each displacee, but we
remain familiar with each other's files. The team approach permits as
to provide immediate response to displacee telephone calls when one of
us is out of the office. It also permits us to shift workloads should
a displacee have a preference to work with one of us. Our team
approach also assures for uninterrupted service.
Relocation Approach
It is important to understand our approach to the relocation process.
We view each displacee as a participant in the decision-making pro-
cess. Very few people will, in their lifetime, be displaced by public
action and, therefore, they are faced with making decisions in an un-
familiar area. They can be vulnerable and frequently troubled. Most
problems develop when displacees feel that they do not have a voice in
the process and that they have no options or choices. We are success-
ful because we are able to recognize the displacees perspective and
respond to their needs. We start by building trust by allowing them to
state their needs. We then provide reliable and timely information in
an understanding and respectful manner.
We clearly represent the displacing agency. This does not, however,
mean we will use our expertise to take advantage of a displacee. Our
role as relocation consultants is to interpret the provisions of the
Uniform Relocation Act and assure compliance by all parties. This
allows us to be facilitators rather than adversaries. We believe all
displacees should receive their full legal relocation benefits, while
adhering to a "least costly" approach for the displacing agency. We
expect that our work will be audited for compliance and that we must
account for every dollar expended.
Previous Work Experience
Wilson Development Service, previously named Wilson Management Serv-
ice, has provided acquisition and relocation assistance since 1980.
Prior to that, Dan Wilson provided acquisition and relocation services
to the cities of Waconia, LeSueur and Minneapolis as a staff person
dating back to 1970.
The following is a list of current and recent clients who have uti-
lized our acquisition and relocation services:

Scope of Relocation Services
It is our intent to provide all relocation services necessary to
successfully complete the relocation process.
We would provide these services in compliance with the Uniform Reloca-
tion Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as
amended by the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assis-
tance Act of 1987. This is the Federal Law adopted by Minnesota
Statutes 117.52.
Following is a list descriptive of the relocation services that we
provide and is not necessarily limiting. .
RESIDENTIAL DISPLACEMENT
1. Start-up meeting with staff to discuss relocation process &
responsibilities, and coordinate consultant & staff activities
and time schedule.
2. Prepare General Information Notices and Notices of Relocation
Eligibility for all displacees.
3. If at all possible, hold a group meeting with all displacees
to provide general information on process, responsibilities,
benefits, and time schedules.
.4. Meet individually with displacees in their apartments or
homes. Discuss information provided in the general meeting, as
well as determine special needs and preferences of displacees.
5. Prepare revised Relocation Budget estimate.
6. Search for comparable housing and make referrals to dis-
placees.
7. Prepare 90-Day Notice To Vacate with comparable housing
identified.
8. Continue to make referrals, discuss process with displacee
continue to provide assistance as needed.
9. Inspect replacement unit to determine if decent, safe, and
sanitary standards are met.
10. Prepare moving specifications, secure bids, and schedule move.
11. Prepare 30-Day Notice To Vacate.
12. Prepare Moving Cost and Rental Assistance or Downpayment
Assistance claims with supporting documentation.
13. Maintain log of all displacee contacts.
14. Maintain communication with staff for status of each dis-
placee.
15. Present relocation claim file with our recommendation and
certification for payment.
Pierce Street Duplex Workload
Three duplexes with 5 family units to be displaced.
4613 & 4615 Pierce Street-2 family units
4619 Pierce Street-1 family unit
4625 & 4627 Pierce Street-2 family units
Proposal Price
The relocation process requires cooperation and reasonable effort on
the part of the displacee. The cost of our services are highly depen-
dent upon the attitude and skills of the displacees. We have been
very successful in defusing difficult situations, and assisting dis-
placees with the decision-making process, so that the process can
proceed in a timely manner.
It is important to recognize that the cost of our services only
partially reflects that of the total cost of relocation. We are very
conscious that our role is in part that of a negotiator. We need the
cooperation of those'being displaced. Our firm does not just "throw
money" at a problem displacement in an effort to make our job easier.
We utilize our previous experience and negotiating skills to try and
to resolve differences without just paying more money.
We would propose to complete the above 5 residential displacement for
a maximum not to exceed price of $5,000.
We would only charge for those services actually provided at the
following rate up to the maximum not to exceed amount.

ITEM: INTERFUND
LOANS BY: WILLIAM ELRITE~
NO: 7' ~--' DATE: 4/15/96
Meeting of: April 22, 1996
CITY MANAGER
From time to time interfund loans are needed to cover cash deficits. At the end of 1995, loans were
needed from the General Fund for deficits in State Aid Maintenance, State Aid Construction, and Sheffield
Redevelopment funds. As part of the annual auditing process, these loans were recorded in the annual
financial report to eliminate these funds showing a cash deficit at year-end. The loans were reversed as
of January 1, 1996, to again show the cash deficits in the appropriate funds for 1996.
It is standard accounting procedure to reflect these interfund loans on the accounting records at the end
of the year, and may not technically require City Council approval. However, as this type of loan has had
City Council approval in the past, staff is submitting it again for Council approval. The following is a
brief explanation of why the deficits occurred in the three funds:
State Aid Maintenance: In 1995 the Engineering Department closed out several state aid-
related projects. The cost of these projects exceeded state aid allocations for 1995 by
approximately $60,000. It is Engineering's intent to use a portion of the 1996 state aid
maintenance allocation to cover the cost of the projects that were closed in 1995.
State Aid Construction: This fund quite frequently operates at a deficit as the City
generally does not receive an advance on the state aid construction until the City is well
into the project, and does not receive final payment until well after the project is closed
out. In some cases the final reimbursement from the state has taken up to three years to
receive.
Sheffield Redevelopment: At the time the Sheffield Redevelopment budget was completed
there was a significant amount of CDBG money budgeted into the plan. As of the end
of 1995, the full CDBG funding has not been requested or received from the county. It
is anticipated that there may be surplus CDBG funds available in 1996 to cover ~hese
expenses.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve interfund loans in the amounts of $42,375 for Fund 212,
State Aid Maintenance; $83,630 for Fund 402, State Aid Construction; and $61~324 for Fund 410, Sheffield
Redevelopment; from the General Fund in order to fund cash deficits.

of the new EDA. The HRA approved an increase in their per diem from $25 to $35 per meeting
on February 11, 1992. Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.095, subd. 4 and 469.011, subd. 4
discuss per diem for the EDA and HRA respectively. For the EDA, the statute indicates
commissioners "shall be paid for attending each regular or special meeting of the authority
in an amount to be determined by the City Council". Commissioners may also be reimbursed
for expenses related to EDA business. I spoke to Steve Bubel of Kennedy and Graven who
stated that if the EDA chose not to receive compensation, then it would not be necessary
to pay per diem.
In discussion, the Commissioners noted the EDA meets on a regular basis and has the
authority to issue bonds and levy taxes within the City, thereby making this governing body
somewhat unique from other boards or commissions in the City. Also, state law authorizes
such compensation which may also serve to increase regular attendance and maximize ·
motivation.
Attached please find a copy of the HRA Minutes of February 11, 1992; Section 469.095, subd.
4, which authorizes EDA Commissioner compensation; and Section 469.011, subd. 4 which
authorizes HRA Commissioner compensation. In accordance with the state statute, the EDA
Commissioners are recommending City Council approval of the following motion.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve the payment of compensation/per diem in the amount of
$35.00 for each regular or special meeting of the Authority to all commissioners, except
elected officials, and to reimburse all Commissioners for actual expenses incurred for EDA
related business in accordance with City policies, retroactive to January 1, 1996; said
compensation payable from Fund Number 201-46310-4380, Commissions/Boards.

There was discussion concerning elections, with the HRA Board being short
one member. It was suggested to amend the By-laws to read that the Annual

Commissioners' terms expire in April. It would would make more sense to
have the Annual Meeting and elections after new appointments are made.
Nawrocki moved, Jindra seconded a motion to defer the election of HRA Board
of Commissioners officers until the May Regular meeting. (The present
officers remain in the positions until the election is held in May). Roll
Call: All Ayes.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1996
1) CI-IIPPER REPAIR
The City's chipper has been repaired at a cost of approximately $800.
2) LIBRARY COMPUTER CONVERSION
The conversion of computer systems for the Anoka County Library system was completed. Although a few "bugs'
remain to be ironed out, the City's Library staff feels the system is much improved and definitely faster. During the
one and one-half day shutdown of the Library system, the City's staff worked at cleaning up their local computer
systems and the building itself.
3) BOILER AT 4120 - 4 TH STREET - LYNDE INVESTMENTS
The City's Building Official inspected this boiler as discussed with the Owner during the renewal of license hearings.
There were several problems identified. The Owner has been notified as well as the appropriate State agencies.
4) DRAINAGE PROBLEMS AT 1206 KHYBER LANE
As agreed to at the Local Board of Review, the Public Works Director did meet with the property owner on April 16.
Several actions the property owner needs to take on his own were discussed. A report on situation will be forwarded
to the Council.
5) EMPLOYEE LIFE INSURANCE LIMITATIONS
Employees have questioned the current limitations on the mount of life insurance they take out under the City's policy.
As the attached memo from the Assistant to the City Manager, the limits were based on employee classification. As
there does not appear to be any reason for this differentiation by the providing company or City policy, the opportunity
to purchase up to the limit will be made available to all benefit eligible employees. This optional insurance is paid for
by the employee and there is no cost to the City.
6) HILLTOP SEWER USE AGREEMENT
The City has received has received the check from the City of Hilltop for use of the line_, from 1990 to 1996.
7) HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Please see the enclosed letter and flyer from Habitat for Humanity on their activities on April 27 regarding sites in
Columbia Heights which includes dedication of the home at 675 47th Avenue and ground breaking for the new homes
at 4535 and 4549 Taylor Street. The Council is encouraged to attend these activities.

LIFE INSURANCE
Recently, I have received inquiries from employees as to why the maximum mount of optional life insurance an
employee can purchase is differentiated by employee groups. Specifically, the maximum amount of optional life
insurance available for purchase is currently:
$190,000 Division Heads, Department Heads, and Elected Officials
$ 90,000 Alt Others
In speaking with Bruce Anderson of Prudential Life Insurance and in reviewing the terms of the optional life insurance
policy, I found that Prudential does not differentiate by employee groups. They have indicated to me that, as far as
Prudential is concerned, all benefit eligible employees of the City have an opportunity to purchase up to $190,000 of
optional life insurance.
In checking my records, it is unclear as to whether the differentiation by employee groups was originally a council
policy decision, or at one time a term of the optional life insurance policy. In either event, I would recommend that
all benefit eligible employees of the City have the opportunity to purchase up to $190,000 of optional life insurance.
Let me know if you have any questions or need further information.
