BOARD OF REVIEW
APRIL 7, 1997
ROLL CALL
Present: Jones, Ruettimann, Peterson
Counciimember Jolly was out of town.
and Sturdevant.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF THE BOARD OF REVIEW
The purpose of the Board of Review was to review property
valuations as of January 2, 1997, for tax payable 1998 and to
hear appeals from citizens who feel aggrieved or have
questions regarding property values.
INTRODUCTIONS
The following Anoka County employees were introduced: Ed
Thurston, County Assessor, Mary Boyle, Residential Appraiser
and Diana Ste!lmach, Commercial Appraiser.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING PROPERTY VALUATIONS
Property owners signed in at the Board of Review and were
invited to speak in the order as their names appeared on the
sign in sheet.
Bill Marshall, 1600 innsbruck Parkway: Mr. Marshall is
requesting his market value be lowered to what it was in 1995.
His request is based on water problems which have been
experienced for some time in his neighborhood. He advised he
is considering selling his home. A realtor said this would be
a "distressed" sale situation and would impact the selling
price of the home. Her opinion was based on the water
problems.
K. Scott Foster, 1620 Innsbruck Parkway, a neighbor of Mr.
Marshall's, also wrote a letter regarding the water problems
and challenging the evaluation placed on his property. Mr.
Foster had an analysis done on his water by a professional
laboratory. His opinion is that the problems will not be
permanently solved until new pipe is installed.
The Appraiser stated this problem is viewed by the Engineering
Department as temporary and will not permanently affect the
value of the property. It was stated that she was not aware of
the history of water problems in the area as she is new to the
position of Appraiser.
BOARD OF REVIEW
APRIL 7, 1997
PAGE 2
Ms. Boyle was directed to make an appointment and view the
Marshall property~ Mr. Marshall stated the property has not
had an on-site inspection for the last six or seven years.
Lee Stauch, 1155 Khyber Lane: Mr. Stauch chose not to speak at
the Board of Review.
David Wricht, 999 4ist Avenue, ~2!4: Mr. Wright did not remain
at the Board of Review.
Jane Halek, 4602 Fillmore Street: Ms. Ha!ok advised she has
done studies of properties comparable to hers and finds no
justification for the ten to thirteen thousand dollars higher
valuation placed on her property. She presented photos of some
of the comparables in her area which showed how they were
different or similar to her property.
Ms. Boyle advised she was denied the opportunity to view the
inside of the property owned by Ms. Ha!ok. Ms. Halek's
contention is that an inside reviewal is not necessary to
establish a market value. She has done nothing to add to the
value of her property.
After looking at some drawings of the property, Ms. Boyle
suggested a problem may be with the stated number of stories
in the home. She will discuss this with Ms. Halek. Ms. Halek
also mentioned, because of the clay soil, this property has
experienced water problems. Ms. Boyle stated this will be
taken into consideration when reviewing the market value on
the property.
Bruce Nawrocki, 1255 Polk Place: Mr. Nawrocki requested
information regarding assessment ratios. Mr. Thurston gave him
a prepared document which addressed comparable sales ratios
for residential properties in Anoka County.
Mr. Nawrocki noted that values have an impact on taxes. He
felt this should be kept in mind by the City Council when it
considers the budget and its potential impact on market
values and taxes. He also noted that potential changes
currently being discussed at the Legislature could have a
severe impact on Columbia Heights' properties.
Kevin McGinnity, 4432 Second Street: Mr. McGinnity requested
his property be viewed. It has not been viewed in some time
and he felt some of the nearby properties are not real
comparables as they are quite different from his. Hs. Boyle
will contact him to set up an appointment.
BOARD OF REVIEW
APRIL 7, 1997
PAGE 3
Joyce Meier, 4931 Jackson Street: Ms. Meier addressed the
behavior of people in her neighborhood which she felt impacted
the value of her property. Ms. Boyle noted that a discount on
the value was already given because of location.
Ms. Meier requested another reviewal be done. Ms. Boyle will
call her.
Harold Hoium, 4321 Fifth Street: Mr. Hoium felt properties in
his neighborhood did not sell very well. He also requested an
explanation of some charges on his tax statement regarding
metro agencies.
Jill Voe!ker, 4549 Taylor Street: Ms. Voelker had an appraisal
of her property done by an independent appraiser. She felt
there were no comparables in her area. The appraisal was
$!0,000 lower than that on her tax statement. Ms. Boyle
indicated a willingness to review the property. Ms. Voe!ker
will contact her for an appointment.
Mary Maxton, 2125 ArGonne Drive: Ms. Maxton reviewed the
increases which have been made to the market value of her
property over the last few years. She inquired why these
increases occurred.
Ms. Boyle responded the there was an across-the-board increase
and that the increases were not only driven by the sales of
comparables.
Stephanie Small, 1093 Polk Circle: Ms. Small listed all of the
improvements her home needs and felt these warranted no
increase in her value. She also mentioned the continuing
problems experienced with an apartment building in Fridley
behind her property. She was requested to contact the City's
Recycling Coordinator about these problems. Ms. Boyle will
make an appointment to view this property.
Jay Melton, 4535 Taylor Street: Mr. Melton is experiencing
water problems on his property. He also mentioned that there
are frequent police calls made by area residents regarding
activity at a double bungalow in his area and that the alley
is filled with debris and refuse. Ms. Boyle will view the
property as Mr. Melton has questions concerning the accuracy
of his land value and some interior fixtures in the home.
Letters Received from Property Owners: Ms. Boyle noted that
the following property owners have sent letters regarding
their concerns with market values on their property:

representatives of the City, it was stated that the water
problems being experienced with these two properties were
viewed as temporary. They will be corrected and no assessments
will be made against the benefitting properties.)
Vernon Moore, 2235 Chalet Drive. Mr. Moore's property was last
viewed in October of 1995. Since that time the kitchen was

CITIZEN FORUM TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL ON MATTERS NOT ON AGENDA
Property owners in the area of the Conoco Station at 3701
Central Avenue requested May 12, 1997 be chosen as the date
for tabling issues relative to the Conoco project. The date
originally chosen was April 28, 1997. Some of the area
spokespersons will be out of town on April 28th.
The City Attorney stated that a meeting is needed for the
Council to approve or deny the rezoning request. The timeline
can be extended if the applicant from Conoco agrees.
The spokesperson for the applicant responded that the owner
does not agree as he is under a timeline to start
construction.

The Zoning Coordinator stated the final 120 days expires on
June 24, 1997. She noted there was a previous attempt to meet
with the property owners but this did not happen.
An area resident said the meeting did not occur as the
architect was not authorized to discontinue seeking a rezoning
of the two homes in question.
Counciimember Ruettimann suggested that the Planning and
Zoning Commission Chairperson, Martaine Szurek, arrange a
meeting between representatives of the Conoco Station and area
residents.
The project's architect said the rezoning is necessary as the
use of the two properties must be included in the project to
make it profitable. A minimum size is required. He requested
a meeting be established by the end of the week.
A resident noted that the affected property owners came to
tonight's meeting prepared to discuss this issue. The station
owner's request to table came as a surprise to them and he
felt the resident's request to delay this matter until May
!2th should be honored.
Councilmember Peterson inquired if the architect's request for
tabling was to redesign the project.
The architect responded it was to have an opportunity to
soften the design and to resolve problems with MnDOT but was
not specifically to address the two residences. The meeting
with MnDOT is scheduled for Thursday, April 16th.
Motion by Ruettimann, second by Jolly to reconsider the
following items:

PURPOSE OF THE MEETING
To update the Council on any changes that have been made to
1997 property valuations for tax payable in 1998 as a result
of additional information and interviews requested at the
Board of Review on April 7, 1997.
RECOMMENDATIONS/FINDINGS OF COUNTY ASSESSOR
A) Bill Marshall, 1600 Innsbruck Parkway
The Assessor's findings are that there should be no change;
that the water problems being experienced are temporary; and,
the water problems do not impact the value of this property
nor any property in the area. She also used nine homes in
Mathaire as "comparables" in setting the value of this home.
Mr. Marshall felt the water problems have existed for a long
time and there is a possibility that a complete rebuild of the
watermain in his street may be necessary in the future. This
possibility holds a price tag of nearly $25,000 in
assessments.
He also did not feel the "comparables" to his property were
valid. The values of these nine homes range from $94,000 to
$150,000, the midpoint of which is $t22,000. He is requesting
a ten percent reduction in value which would be $121,700. He
drafted a graph which showed the values placed on his home
since it was built. The value he feels is fair was the value
placed on it in 1995, the year he recalls experiencing water
problems which were severe.
Mr. Marshall continues to feel the value of his property has
been compromised with the water quality and would result in a
"distressed" sale when his property is marketed for sale.
The County Appraiser explained she still feels no change is a
correct recommendation and that Mr. Marshall can follow the
appeal system to the County Board of Equalization and
eventually to tax court, if he so chooses.

Background: A resident in the 5200 block of 44 Street has made a number of calls to the Police Dept. regarding the blocking of
the alley behind Galaxy Auto and Heights Liquor by delivery trucks. Police response to these complaints has revealed a conflict
in the City's ordinances. Ordinance 853,,Section 7.205(9), states that commercial vehicles shall not be permitted to park or
stand longer than 24 hours continuously or in front of, or beside any property in a residential district, except for the purpose of
loading or unloading. Ordinance 853, Section7.205(3) states in part that no person shall park in an alley.
Discussion: The Traffic Commission reviewed these ordinances at their meeting of March 5 and have requested that the City
Council consider amending Section 7.205(3) to allow vehicles to park in an alley "for the purpose of loading or unloading".
Attached is an ordinance amending Section 7.205(3) to allow this. The first reading of Ordinance 1343 was held on April 14,
1997.
RECOIvlMENDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 1343, there being ample copies available to the
public.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt Ordinance No. 1343, an ordinance amending Ordinance 853, Section 7.205(2),
City Code of 1977, allowing loading and unloading of vehicles while in an alley.

The City of Columbia Heights does ordain:
Section 1: Section 7.205(2) of Ordinance No. 853, City Code of 1977 which currently reads
as follows, to wit:
7.205(2) No person shall park a vehicle in his custody or control in such a manner as to
protrude into or obstruct a lane designated for moving traffic or a fire lane, or
park a vehicle on a residential street where parking is prohibited, or park a vehicle
in any alley.
is hereby amended to read as follows:
7.205(2) No person shall park a vehicle in his custody or control in such a manner as to
protrude into or obsti-uct a lane designated for moving traffic or a fire lane, or
park a vehicle on a residential street where parking is prohibited, or park a vehicle

Topic for March Traffic and Safety Commission
February 11, 1997
On February 10, 1997, we responded to a call of a truck blocking the alley in the 5200 block
of 4th Street. The vehicle blocking the alley was a commercial vehicle pumping oil into
Galaxy Auto. We have had the same complaint for vehicles unloading at the city liquor store.
We also received a similar complaint prior to this one that another officer handled. The
officers responded to the complaints in two different ways in spite of the complaints being
almost identical. The problem is that two of our ordinances appear to conflict with each
other: 7.205(3) states in part that you cannot park in an alley; 7.205(9) states that commercial
vehicles shall not be permitted to park or stand longer than 24 hours continuously or in front
of, or beside any property in a residential district, EXCEPT FOR THE PURPOSE OF
LOADING OR UNLOADING.
Please advise if 7.205(8) pertains to alley ways or not and if 7.205(2) pertains to commercial
vehicles in alley ways. ,

A REQUEST TO RESTRICT DELIVERY TRUCKS FROM BLOCKING
ALLEYS.
Ms. Ballentine of 5230 4th St. N.E. was present as well as Scott Turner of Galaxy
Auto Center. Galaxy Auto has four different services using the alley. These
services are for garbage, waste oil, oil delivery and tire disposal. Deliveries or
pick-ups are usually only 15 minutes in length. Ms. Ballentine's complaint is that
she cannot get into her driveway when these trucks are blocking the alley. She
indicated that the City's Liquor Store delivery trucks are sometimes parked for up
to two hours. She suggested that these deliveries be made to the side of the store
rather than in the alley.
Police Chief Johnson stated that the police have responded to complaints of
vehicles unloading at the City Liquor Store and blocking the alley. The problem
appears to be a conflict in the ordinance that has two different interpretations;
7.205 (3) states that there is to be no alley parking and 7.205 (9) states that
commercial vehicles shall not be permitted to park or stand longer than 24 hours,
except for the purpose of loading or unloading. There is no time limit spelled out
in the ordinance.
Commissioner Duda suggested that a letter be sent to the Liquor Store Manager.
Commissioner Jolly indicated that the City Manager should resolve this issue as
he supervises the Liquor Store Manager.
Motion by Duda, second by Goodman to direct the City Manager to resolve the
issue of the Liquor Store delivery trucks blocking the alley. Roi1 Call: All ayes.
The Commission members requested that a copy of any correspondence by the
City Manager be given to them: Galaxy Auto will also remind their delivery
trucks to be courteous and be careful not to block the alley.
Police Chief Johnson will issue Ms. Ballentine a permit to park in front of her
house between now and the time this issue is resolved.

SEWER REPLACEMENT - LABELLE OUTLET DATE:
Background:
The storm sewer from Labelle Pond to the intersection of 44th Avenue and Tyler Place was installed in the early to mid-196ffs.
The sewer was constructed with bituminous coated corrugated metal pipe (BCCMP) and ranges from 24" to 48" in diameter.
The location of the pipe is displayed on the attachment.
Discussion:
Staff is proposing to have the pipe replaced or lined from LaBelle Pond to the manhole at 44th Avenue and Tyler Place over the
next several years. The storm sewer pipe west of Tyler Place is reinforced concrete pipe. The BCCMP has reached the
anticipated life span for this type of pipe. This is a major trunk sewer line and the City cannot afford to have significant pipe
deterioration or failure. Phase 1 is to replace the pipe from LaBelle Pond outlet structure to the south side of 42nd Avenue. There
is $30,000 in the 1997 budget. Funds will be budgeted each year until the project is complete.
Recommended Motion:
Move to authorize staff to seek bids for replacement of the storm sewer from the LaBelle outlet structure to the south side of 42nd
Avenue.

CENTRAL AVE. MANHOLE REHABILITATION DATE: April 18, 199~ DATE:
Background:
The City is responsible for City-owned utilities in Central Avenue. Many of the sanitary sewer manholes were constructed over
50 years ago with either manhole block or brick. Some of these materials are beginning to deteriorate.
The Sewer and Water Department staff have reviewed the condition of 29 sanitary sewer manholes located in the travel lanes on
Central Avenue, from 37th Avenue to 45th Avenue. Nine manholes were in good condition and no repairs were needed. Ten
manholes were in good condition and needed minor repairs, such as new covers or new adjusting rings between the manhole cone
section and the casting. Four manholes were in fair condition and needed the top 2' - 3' of the cone section and the adjusting rings
replaced. Six manholes were in poor condition and needed to be completely lined with new cementious material.
The location and condition of each manhole is displayed on the attachment.
Discussion:
Staff is proposing to have this work done by a contractor. It is desirable to have the project proceed as quickly as possible to
minimize the inconvenience to traffic on Central Avenue. That is not feasible with the various duties required of Sewer and Water
Department personnel. There is $9,000 in the 1997 budget to begin the work. Funds will be budgeted each year until the
rehabilitation project is complete.
Recommended Motion:
Move to authorize staff to seek bids for rehabilitation of Central Avenue manholes.

ITEM: AUTHO~ZATION TO SEEK BIDS FOR ROOF BY: M~k W~son
IMPROVEMENTS AT LOMAS, GAUVI~E, DATE: April 18, 199~ :
l~omianki
Background: The building was constructed in 1981. Modifications were done several years later to eliminate the flat roof at the
top of the building. This section of the roof leaked and was a constant maintenance problem. The original asphalt shingles are
still in place on the remainder of the building. The original roof construction consists of 1-1/2" tongue and groove wood decking
and a composite of rigid insulation with asphalt shingles.
Discussion: The upper four feet of roof area needs to be reconstructed to provide a uniform surface. This is similar to the work
done at Prestemon. A layer of asphalt shingles will be installed on the entire roof surface. Options will be provided to install an
aluminum fascia and to add an overhang. The purpose of the overhang is to reduce the potential for water to penetrate into the
exterior wall cavity and to improve the appearance. The Park Department budget includes $5,000 for the work.
Gauvitte
Background: The building was constructed in 1975. There has been no work done on the roof, other than patching as needed.
Discussion: A layer of asphalt shingles will be installed on the roof surface. Options will be provided to remove the exposed
rafters and supporting column near the building entrance and install an aluminum fascia. The Park Department budget includes
$2,000 for the work.
Background: The building was constructed in 1974. There has been no work done on the roof, other than patching as needed.
Discussion: A layer of asphalt shingles wilt be installed on the roof surface. An option will be provided to install an aluminum
fascia. The Park Department budget includes $2,000 for the work.
Recommended Motion:
Move to authorize staff to seek bids for roofing improvements at Lomianki, Gauvitte and Maithaire park buildings.

ITEM: AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS FOR LINING BY: Mark Winson BY:
OF POLK PL. SAN. SEWER - MULCARE TO POLK CR. DATE: April 18, 199]~ DATE:
Background:
Public Works has identified several sections of sanitary sewer line that have recurring problems with root growth, separated joints
or deterioration. Each year money is budgeted to correct these problem sections. One such section is the sanitary sewer tine in
Polk Place from Mulcare Drive to Polk Circle.
Discussion:
The last two years, Public Works has let bids for relining of sanitary sewer lines, one in the area of 3Th and Reservoir and the
other in the area of Silver Lake. The line in Polk Place would be another candidate for this process. $30,000 has been budgeted in
the Sewer Capital Improvement Fund for redoing this line.
Recommended Motion:
Move to authorize staff to seek bids for lining the Polk Place sanitary sewer from Mulcare to Polk Circle.

a "Global Leader Award" for their efforts and support in the area of Environmental Education

ITEM: Ordinance ~1344, Adopting the !994 BY: Me! Collova/Ken BY:
Mn. State Building Code and Fee Structure Anderson
NO: ~_~ ,~ DATE: April 23, 1997
Attached is Ordinance ~1344, Adopting the Minnesota State Building Code. This
Ordinance provides for the application, administration and enforcement of 'the
Minnesota State Building Code by regulating the erection, construction, enlargement,
alteration, repair, moving, removal, demolition, conversion, occupancy, equipment,
use, height, area and maintenance of all buildings and/or structures in this
municipality; provides for the issuance of permits and collection of fees thereof;
provides penalties for violation thereof; repeals all ordinances and parts of
ordinances that conflict therewith. This Ordinance was originally adopted in
substantially the same form on November 13, 1995 with the exception of the fees.
The fees were left at the amounts in the 1988 fee schedule.
Also attached is a copy of the 1988 fee schedule that is currently in use as well
as the fee schedule representing the new proposed fees as listed in the 1994
schedule.
We anticipate there will be additional revenue generated from these fees which may
be used towards meeting our costs for upgrading our housing and commercial building
stock. Specifically, the funds can be used to establish a renewable redevelopment
fund to raze dangerous, substandard, and/or vacant buildings. For the properties
with strucEures which muse be razed, if the redevelopment fund monies are to be
utilized for the up-front expenses of demolition and removal of the unsafe
structures, these costs may also be specially assessed to the property. When the
property is sold in the future the special assessments will be paid in full. The
special assessment proceeds can reimburse the monies to the redevelopment fund which
can in turn be used to demolish other unsafe structures in the City. This will
provide a proactive way for the City to fund removal of deteriorated buildings which
are dangerous to the public and an "eyesore" and blemish to an otherwise attractive
neighborhood.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to waive the reading of Ordinance ~1344 as there are ample copies available to
the public.
Move to establish May 12, !997 at approximately 7:00 p.m. as the date and time for
the second reading of Ordinance ~134~, an Ordinance adopting the Minnesota State
Building Code.

ITEM: Board and Commission Status '~'/ DATE: 4-23-97 DATE:
There was a report on the status of the boards and commissions included on the April 21st
work session agenda. This document is attached to this council letter as well.
Also attached are the remaining four active applications from residents, two of whom have
been interviewed. Other residents who have been interviewed in the past 18 months were
contacted about any interest they may have in serving on a board or commission which was
not indicated on their application. None of them chose to be considered. Most of these
folks had applied for appointment to the Police and Fire Civil Service Commission.
Kathryn Smith was recently appointed by the Chief Judge to the Charter Commission as was
Carol Crema-Klein.
I am preparing an announcement for the local access cable channel regarding service on the
City's boards and commissions. Hopefully, this will generate some interest.
A number of years ago, notices were put into the utility bills encouraging residents to
apply for boards and commissions. This effort was relatively successful.

Charter meeting. Passed unanimously.
OLD BUSINESS
Update on Chapter 5. Initiative. Referendum_ & Rcgall
Based on discussions at the joint meeting on March 20, going from 20% to 10% does not
appear to be a problem, but there is still controversy over the minimum number of
signatures required. President Nawrocki felt that after discussing this item further with
the Council, they might pass the amendment if the wording was changed to 700 votes or
10%, whichever is greater.
Also, whenever the word "voters" is referenced, it should be "registered" voters.
Based on the amended language proposed tonight, the wording for Section 39 would then
read (sentence two):
"Such petition shall not be complete unless signed by a number of registered voters
equal to at least ten per cent of the total number of votes cast at the last preceding regular
municipal election or 700 signatures, whichever is greater."
Based on the amended language proposed tonight, the wording for Section 40 would then
read (sentence two):
4-17-97
Page 1 of 4
"Within five days after the filing of the petition the city shall ascertain by
examination of the number of registered voters whose signatures are appended thereto,
and whether this number is at least ten Percent °fthe total number of registered voters
who cast their votes at the last preceding regular municipal election or 700 signatures,
whichever is greater.'"
Based on the amended language proposed tonight, the wording for Section 44 would then
read (sentence one):
"If prior to the date when an ordinance of the council takes effect a petition signed
by registered voters of the city equal in number to ten percent of the total vote at the last
regular municipal election or 700 signatures, whichever is greater, be filed with the city
clerk requesting that any such measure, or any part thereof, be repealed or be submitted to
a vote of the electorate, the said measure shall thereby be prevented from going into
operation."
Motion by Janis Larson, seconded by Nan Tilkens, to approve the amended language
affecting Sections 39, 40, and 44, as discussed above, and send on to the City Council for
their action. Passed unanimously.
See attached ordinance in complete form indicating all changes to date.
Abandonment of the City Charter
Council last acted on this item on March 24, 1997, and the item is now dead.
Distribution of City Charters to the Public Schools
The Recording Secretary has taken care of this item.
Method of Charter Commission Putting Items on the Ballot
President Nawrocki stated that he checked with a past and current attorney at the League
of Minnesota Cities regarding this item. The Charter Commission can put items to vote
on a referendum to be voted on by the citizens without getting signatures. The City
Attorney reported there have been no Attorney C~neral opinions on this since 1973.
Keeping Written Recgrds of Work Sessions
The President had contacted the League of Minnesota Cities to get their opinion on
whether written records must be kept of work sessions. He was informed that the
League's viewpoint on this subject is that there are minimal requirements in the state
statutes.
Discussion was held on adding language to Section 17 as suggested by Jamie Verbrugge
at a previous meeting. Commissioners discussed the words "detailed", "journal of
4-17-97
Page 2 of 4
proceedings", and "summary", and how these words could be construed differently from
one person to another.
Motion by Jamie Verbrugge, seconded by Nan Tilkens to approve the wording for Section
17 as put together by the City Attorney and discussed at the February meeting, which is as
follows:
Add as the second sentence to Chapter 3, Section 17: "Detailed minutes of all
discussions, motions or other actions shall be kept for all public council meetings
and for meetings of any commissions appointed by the council."
Status of Membershio
The Recording Secretary stated that she had talked with the Chief Judge's office today,
and was informed that there would be two new appointments forthcoming: Kathryn Smith
and Carol Crema-Smith.
The President announced that Keith Roberts has resigned from the Charter Commission.
He asked that the Recording Secretary inform the council of this resignation.
President Nawrocki asked that when new people were appointed, were they appointed to
fill the vacancy created by the commissioner (when a commissioner lei~ before their term
was up) or what. This depends on how the appointment letter from the judge is worded.
Also he wondered when a commissioner's term has expired, can that commissioner still
serve until someone is appointed. If someone is uneligible to serve, the answer is no. If
the commissioner is still eligible to serve, then that person may continue serving until a
replacement is appointed.
The following commissioners' terms will expire in the fall of 1997: Bruce Nawrocki, Dick
Schmidt, Nan Tilkens, and Gary Olson. Nan Tilkens is the only one that can be
reappointed, as the other three commissioners have already served two terms.
Changing Control of the Police Denartment from the Mayor to the City Manager
Jamie Verbrugge asked if there would be city elections this fall. The recording secretary
stated that there would be. Elections for the seats held by Councilmembers Don Jolly and
Meg Jones would be held in the fall of 1997. In the fall of 1998, elections for the seats
held by Councilmember Ruettimann and Mayor Sturdevant would be held.
Further discussion ensued regarding the pros and cons for the change from Mayor to City
Manager. Some members felt very strongly that a professional manager should be in
charge of the Police Department. Others felt the Mayor should be, stating that if someone
had a problem regarding the Police Department, it would be more private because you
would only deal with one person (the Mayor), and with the City Manager, you would be
dealing with him/her and his/her staff.
4-17-97
Page 3 of 4
Motion by C-ary Olson, seconded by ~lamie Verbrugge, that regarding changing the control
of the Police Department from the Mayor to theCity Manager, the City Attorney should
prepare an amendment to the charter for review at our next meeting, and to proceed with
the necessary steps to put this item on the ballot in this year's fall election.
Roll Call vote: 4 yes, 4 no. Motion defeated.
Further discussion on this item will be held.
