1. Conditional Use Permit - Amy Ferman. 4040 Central
~venue
Ms. Ferman is requesting a conditional use permit to
operate a pool/billiard hall at 4040 Central Avenue.
Councilmember Nawrocki observed that when Ms. Ferman
initially approached the Council regarding her proposed
business she had the sole interest in the business. He
has now observed that there is a corporation.
Ms. Ferman was advised by her attorney to form a
corporation as this was abetter way to do business. She
stated she is the only person in the corporation.
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired if there is any
involvement in the business by any other person. Ms.
Ferman responded there was no one else.
Discussion continued regarding the potential for selling
of stock in the corporation and the City's not being
informed if any other parties would have direct
involvement in the business.
The City Attorney requested time during the meeting to
research the statutes regarding some of the issues
brought up.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Jolly to defer this matter

8. QLD BUSINESS
a. Approval of Plans for 52nd Avenue Floodway Improvement
and Clover Pond Diversions - Project #9112
The Public Works Director reviewed the alternative solution
which was proposed to affected property owners. The proposal
was to install a 36" pipe from the existing manhole at 1165
Polk Place to the existing manhole at 1125 Polk Place. This
would eliminate overland flow across portions of 1135 and 1125
Polk Place. Existing trees and other landscaping features
within the easement would have to be removed in order to do
the construction.
The owner of 1135 Polk Place felt the City of Fridley should
be requested to compensate property owners who may lose trees
and be incovenienced with this project.
Councilmember Nawrocki has observed water, which is causing
problems, coming from both cities, not just from Fridley. He
feels the alternatives presented by staff and consultants have
focused on making the project as easy and fair as possible for
all involved. He did recommend that the garages behind the
apartment buildings be painted, the fence be replaced or
repaired and that the debris in the area be cleaned up as part
of the project.
The owner of 1135 Polk Place recalled that the trees in the
easement were in place before the easement was granted to the
City.
Councilmember Peterson noted that easements were given thirty
years ago and that the property owners have to be realistic
when some work needs to be done in an easement. Any
improvements homeowners may have done in an easement must be
removed when work is done. He stated that the City will do the
best it can to restore the area.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Peterson to authorize the
securing of bids for the project with the substitution of the
302 feet of the 36 inch pipe for the 225 feet of 42 inch pipe,
subject to staff continuing to work with the affected
residents on re-landscaping and clean up of the apartment
house garage area including the replacement of the fence,
removal of trash and the staff be directed to come back tot he
Council with the final re-landscaping plans before seeking
authorization to award a bid on the project. Roll call: All

This matter had been delayed earlier in the meeting for
additional research by the City Attorney regarding renewal of
license procedures. He reported that full disclosure would be
made in a license application on an annual renewal basis.
Councilmember Nawrocki expressed his concern with the process
whereby members of the City Council would not be made aware of
any changes in ownership during the year until the license
renewal was being done.
Motion by Peterson, second by Jolly to approve the conditional
use permit for the operation of a pool/billiard hall at 4040
Central Avenue provided the building and operation is in
compliance with all licensing, zoning, building and fire code
requirements. Roll call: All ayes

Dick Hagen, owner of the building at 4040 Central Avenue,
thanked Councilmember Nawrocki for his assistance with this
matter.
b. Neighborhood Organizations
Councilmember Ruettimann requested the City Manager to direct
the Volunteer Coordinator to draft plans for forming
neighborhood organizations. He hoped to have this information
back to the Council by the first Council meeting in August or
earlier.
The City Manager felt it could be prepared for a Council work
session in July when the position of Volunteer Coordinator is
discussed.
c. Ethics and Election Legislation
Councilmember Nawrocki noted that during the most recent
legislative session, legislation was passed regarding ethics
in government and a uniform election day. He stated there
could be changes in municipal elections and felt some policies
should be drafted for council consideration regarding ethics.
Some of these laws become effective on August 1, 1994.

The City Manager has copies of this survey. He will see they
are distributed to community organizations and civic groups.
e. NEI Volunteers
Councilmember Nawrocki has been contacted by a student
currently enrolled at NEI, College of Technology. The student
noted his willingness and that of other students at NEI, to
perform volunteer tasks for Columbia Heights residents,
particularly senior citizens. Councilmember Nawrocki referred
him to staff at Parkview Villa, the Volunteer Coordinator and
the Council Secretary.
f. Miscellaneous Issues
Councilmember Jolly inquired as to the status of purchasing
property adjacent to Huset Park. The City Manager will keep
the Council apprised as to any progress on this issue.
Councilmember Jolly recalled that railroad tracks were to be
removed from a location in the City. The City Manager advised
that they are scheduled for removal within the next thirty
days. He also noted staff will pursuethe matter of having the
tracks removed from the "stacking" area.
Midblock lighting is scheduled for installation in the
northwest quadrant of the City. Councilmember Jolly inquired
when this will be done. The Public Works Director responded
the lights will be installed in the fall. There were some
locations viewed as unacceptable by homeowners in the area.
These locations are being re-evaluated by staff and Northern
States Power.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING

Motion by Nawrocki, second by Jolly to authorize the
transfer of $26,000 from the Mayor-Council Contingency
Budget to Fund 272 as the City's 1994 matching
contribution to the Police Hiring Supplemental Grant.
Councilmember Nawrocki explained that $26,000 was what
was actually needed. For funds needed for future years he
felt they should be part of that year's budgeting
process.
Councilmember Ruettimann was of the opinion that the
$50,000 was put into the budget and now another fund is
being created. He felt the budgeted $50,000 had nothing
to do with the grant being applied for but rather would
be used to hire a third officer. He stated his support
for the funding if it were to be taken from the General
Fund.
Noting that Mayor Sturdevant and Councilmember Jolly were
not part of last year's budget deliberations,
Councilmember Ruettimann inquired if either of them had
listened to the meeting tapes regarding this matter.
Councilmember Jolly had reviewed his notes from the
budget meetings he attended. His notes reflected his
.impression that the funds were to be used for a new hire
and were not tied to any grant.
Councilmember Nawrocki renewed his offer to sit with
Councilmember Ruettimann and listen to the tapes. He felt
the $50,000 was budgeted and was part of the contingency.
The funds were to be available for the grant if the City
got one or available for additional police services as
the case may be if it did not.
The City Manager addressed a couple of clarifications
from his perspective. The issue was originally reviewed
at a Council Work Session in September. At that time
there was a presentation which called for three officers
to be hired under the grant. This number was subsequently
cut back to two officers. The grant was approved in
October via Resolution No. 93-50 which authorized the
submission of the grant application and authorized a
budget commitment. A 50 percent match and a full year
funding was also authorized at that time. There were
additional discussions in November and December regarding
the $50,000 during subsequent budget discussions and
budget meetings.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
JUNE 27, 1994
PAGE 13
The city Manager mentioned that his recommendation had
been to hire one additional police officer for the
$50,000 and a second if the grant application were
successful. He noted that a need for three officers has
not been established and that funding justificationa and
funding sources for three officers is questionable for
the future.
Councilmember Ruettimann inquired of the Acting Police
Chief why this grant would be taken on if three officers
were not needed to make the grant requirements work. He
also inquired if there had been crime improvements
because of community oriented policing. The Acting Chief
responded in the affirmative. He also agreed with the
backing of a positive program.

Ruettimann, Peterson - nay
This motion failed as four-fifths vote is necessary to
approve funding.
Councilmember Nawrocki felt "community policing" are buzz
words to describe a lot of different types of policing.
He suggested that two police officers, rather than one,
the grant will help to hire, will do throughout the
'community an even better job.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Peterson to authorize the
Mayor and applicable staff to hire two police officers
under the federal grant awarded to the City of Columbia
Heights.
It was felt it would be improper to pass this motion as
no funding is in place to do the hiring.
The Finance Director stated it was not a grant
requirement that a separate fund be set up. These funds
canbe set up within the General Fund. The Acting Police
chief advised this arrangement would becomparable to the
DARE Program funding. The City Manager noted the funds
couldbe taken out of the Fund Balance.
Councilmember Ruettimann felt the funding should be put
in place for the full three years now. This funding
commitment should be made now as the levy cannot be
raised.
The motion was withdrawn.

The Finance Director responded the carpet will bepurchased on
a negotiated basis. Staff has done a fair amount of research
on this matter and purchasing from a supplier saves the markup
costs.
Councilmember Nawrocki stated he opposes this motion as he
feels new carpeting is not justified. He thinks the
competitive bidding process should be followed.

CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEUs)
TO BE AWARDED
Attendees of selected Fire-Rescue International workshops and
seminars can earn continuing education credit. Through the
cooperation of the University of Missouri Fire and Rescue
Training Institute, attendees can apply their CEUs to their

levels. Attendance at workshops and seminars such as those
being offered in St Louis at Fire-Rescue International will
satisfy some of these requirements. Several offerings at Fire-
Rescue International will carry CEU credit. Attendees will
receive a transcript and certificate signifying their completion.

their daily relationships. This will be a systems approach to
effective interaction between fire department labor and
management groups.

seminar for new chief officers and for those who are
aspiring to be chief officers. This is a condensed version of a
week-long seminar Coleman conducts.
]'his is an intensive program designed to provide new chief
officers with an overview of ethics as the fire chief,
transition management, identifying critical tasks for take-
over/make-overs to a fire department.
Chief Bob Vaccaro, a 20 year volunteer firefighter, will take

International news services carried the stories
about the recent wildland fires that erupted in
California and Australia. Wildland fires are no
stranger to these two areas, but they can
happen anywhere there is an urban-wildland
interface.
Experts, who were on the scene at each fire,
will present their separate lessons learned from
these infernos. In a "Huntley-Brinkley" type of
format we'll find out how the fires started,
what the initial responses w. ere, how command
was established and organized, where additional
help came from, and how they were able to
finally contain each fire.
Disaster Night presentations will take place on
Sunday, August 28, in the Cervantes
Convention Center Lecture Hall beginning at
7 pm.
It Could Happen to You
March 23 may'live as a day "in infamy" for the
city of Edison, New Jersey. It was on that day a
36 inch natural gas pipeline ruptured and
ex~l~b, ded in a 300 foot high flaming torch. The
resulting conflagration destroyed 126
apartment units and 250 automobiles.
Miraculously, no one was killed and only
minor injuries were sustained by 54 people.
Chief Albert Lamkie, the incident commander,
will relate how he and his department
controlled the pandemonium and "put the wet
stuffon the red stuff."
Natural and petroleum pipelines criss-cross the
country and a rupture can happen anywhere.
Learn bow you can mitigate a similar incident
in your jurisdiction.
Fire-Rescue International attendees ma3, purchase a buffet supper in the Convention Center after
the exhibits close on Sunday and then attend the Disaster Night presentations. Buses will continue
to run all evening.

SNOOK
In June 1993,
Fire Chief Jack
Snook entered
a hospital in Portland,
Oregon, to undergo "routine
surgery." Five days later he
became the "sickest patient"
ever to receive a heart
transplant and the only
person at Oregon Health
Sciences University in the
past twenty years, to survive
the specific heart attack that
resulted in a "Second
Chance at Life."
Chief Snook uses his near-
death experience, and the
challenging road to recovery,
to illustrate the importance
of relationships, attitude,
balance, goal-setting, quality
of life and practical ways of
overcoming adversity. His
non-intrusive, and
sometimes humorous
approach, combined with
the unique way he shares the
most challenging situation of:
his life, is truly an
educational experience which
won't be forgotten. Hear
this presentation on Sunday,
August 28 in the Lecture
Hall of the Cervantes
Convention Center.

Ewell will cover this topic;
~ Ventilation: blow it in or
blow it out? Chief Bill
Peterson and Tom Brennan
will discuss this "windy"
issue; and,

best? Chiefs Nell Svetanics
and Charlie Dickinson will

enrollment.
ATt'END THE OLS LUNCHEON AND FIND OUT
FACT: Four out of five homes in the U.S. are equipped with at least
one single-station smoke detector. This number of installed smoke
detectors obviously accounts, in part, for a reduction in residential fire
deaths.
FACT: One-third of the properly installed smoke detectors are
inoperable usually from something as simple as an expired or missing
battery. But there may be another reason: smoke detectors are used
beyond their useful lifetimes. Aging smoke detectors might appear to be
operational because they sound when the test button is pressed;
however, they may no longer be able to detect smoke during an actual
fire.
Smoke detectors are like any other electrical appliance. They eventually
wear out and must be replaced. But there is not yet a consensus on the
expected lifetime for either battery or hard-wire detectors. Some believe
that single-station ionization detectors have a lifetime of 5 to 10 years.
If so, thousands of these units in homes across the U.S. may be
inoperable even though they appear to be okay.
Will smoke detectors really wear out? Is so, when and why? What is the
best solution to handling this potential problem? What should local fire
departments recommend when asked about a replacement schedule?
The OLS luncheon forum will discuss all of these issues on Monda);
August 29~ from noon to 1:30 p.m.. Luncheon attendees will get
firsthand the latest information about the issues and answers.
Join OLS Director, Pat Coughlin, at the luncheon and hear what a
panel of industry and code experts have to say. Don't miss this premiere
chance to learn and share your views on the aging smoke detector issue.
Beginuing at 7:00 am
Sunday, Tuesday and
Wednesday during
Fire-Rescue International,
conf;erence attendees and
their partners can
participate in a Sunrise
Seminar on a variety of
topics.
The seminars are designed
for interaction between the
speaker and audience.
Attendees may purchase a
continental breakfast from
a buffet, which is available
beginning 6:30 am.

safety, and new legislation affecting the
military emergency services. Contact Bruce

on the Army training session.
The IAFC Federal-Military Section will
expand its meeting schedule to a full day ar

chairman Willie Shelton have added
workshops addressing Halon extinguisher
replacement, and reinventing government as
it relates to the federal fire service. In

presentations from the Army's Automotive

LdO, TOROLA CELES TE 95TH ANNIVERSARY OF INTERNATIONAL Moo, zOLA
BEI ;FRAHKLIH FIRE SERVICE AWARD FOR VALOR
For the past 25 years, thc International Association of Fire Chiefs and Motorola have been celebrating the spirit of service, courage and heroism that is a
tradition among the wor'~d's fire service. Together, the IAFC and Motorola annually honor a fire fighter who has shown uncommon valor while saving another's life. This
year's recipient, his or her nominating chief, and their spouses will receive a free trip to St. Louis, a very special awards presentation, a private dinner with IAFC and
Motorola VIPs, and a beautiful medal.
Choosing a winner each year is a challenge. Because fire fighters perform heroic acts daily in the course of their dangerous jobs, the winner of the Ben Franklin Valor Award
must have gone above.-ar~d-beyond the call of duty. A candidate must be nominated by his or her chief for an incident in which the candidate saved a human life. All fire
fighters are eligible - paid or volunteer, on- or off-duty. The nominating chief does not have to be a member of the IAFC.
An IAFC committee evaluates nominations on points such as personal effort and use of available staff and equipment. Of course, the IAFC and Motorola urge that all
available resources be used to ensure safety. (For instance, a candidate who rushed into a burning building without an SCBA if one was available would lose points, not gain
them.) Deadline for entry is July 1.
The Ben Franklin Fire Service Award for Valor is the IAFC's top honor. Nomination forms for this year's competition were included as inserts in the April 1 issue of IAFC
On Scene. They are also available from Motorola field representatives or by contacting IAFC headquarters: IAFC, Ben Franklin Valor Award, attn: Tim Elliott, 4025 Fair
Ridge Drive, }Sairfax VA 22033-2868, or by FAX at 703-273-9363.

"First on the Scene...
In 1969, As~ Glatfelter saw that the insurance coverages
offered to Emergency Service Organizations didn't begin to
meet their unique needs. He then began consulting with these
vital organizations and their leaders to create responsive
insurance coverages.
Thus began a relationship between a man,
the organization he formed, and the emergency
service industry that has yet to be paralleled.
The VFIS relationship with fire and
emergency medical service leaders allows for
the continuing development of program
enhancements to meet our clients' everchanging
needs. Beyond being an insurance provider, VFIS
is a committed partner to the clients we serve--with a level of
dedication no imitator can duplicate.
In 1994, we celebrate our partnership with the emergency
service community. Twenty-five years ago, we were "First on
the Scene." Today we are "Still Responding."
... Still Responding."

Members present were Paulson, Fowler, Larson and Szurek. Council Representative Peterson was not
in attendance. Also present were Evelyn Nygaard (Building/Zoning Administrator) and Mark Gilbert

Special Purpose Fence
Case #9407-27
Eric Hinrichs
4259 Arthur Street
Columbia Heights, Mn.
Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. and Mrs. Hinrichs for permission to install a six (6) foot
high special purpose privacy fence along and inside the north lot line from the front of the attached
garage east to the northwest corner of the detached garage located at the rear of the property; then
a seven (7) foot high privacy fence running along and inside the east property line to the southeast
property corner. She suggested enough room be provided to maintain the fence on both sides. She
also stated that the Hinrichs could provide a notarized letter of permission from the abutting property
owners to place the fence on the property line and to use the neighbors property as access for
maintaining the fence.
Motion by Paulson, seconded by Larson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the six
and seven foot high special purpose privacy fence for 4259 Arthur Street. Roll Call: All Ayes.

Moe F. Kia
4946 Central Avenue
Columbia Heights, Mn.
Ms. Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Kia for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan Approval
to allow the operation of a car leasing business at 4946 Central Avenue. She informed the
Commission that the vehicles for lease would be parked in the open lot and the existing dental office
would be used as the business office. She quoted Section 9.116(14) of the Zoning Ordinance
pertaining to the required standards for an open sales lot use.
Ms. Nygaard informed the Commission that vehicle sales would not be allowed in the RB, Retail
Business, District unless the site would consist of at least three acres of land. She stated that the lot
has only 4,720 square feet of area which is approximately 10% of an acre.

Mr. Kia was not in attendance to answer any questions of the Commission.
Commissioner Paulson asked if there was a clear definition of sale vs. lease. Attorney Gilbert
responded that the difference would be the passing of a title.
Commissioner Szurek understands by personal experience that you can purchase a leased vehicle at
the end of the term of lease. She did not think that any problems would arise from people coming
to look at cars as they would at a sales lot, as most of the contact is done over the telephone.
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Anderson, owners of the property came into the meeting late. They stated that
there has not been any sale or purchase agreement made with Mr. Kia for the property.
Motion by Paulson, seconded by Fowler, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the
Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan to allow a car leasing operation at 4946 Central Avenue
contingent upon purchase of the property by Mr. Kia, and that the definition of the terms "sale" vs.
"lease" be applied consistent with Minnesota State Statutes. Roll Call: All Ayes.

Public Hearing
Special Purpose Fence
Case #9407- 29
Dwight Sonnenberg
1109 N.E. 42 1/2 Avenue
Columbia Heights, Mn.
Ms. Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Sonnenberg for permission to install a six to seven foot high
special purpose stockade style privacy fence across the rear of his property approximately two to three
inches inside the rear (north) lot line. The required signatures of consent from the adjacent property
owners have been submitted.
She explained that in reading the Fence Ordinance, it allows alternating board type fences of vertical,
horizontal or louvered materials. Any fences differing in construction, height or length may be
permitted by the issuance of a special fence permit recommended by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and approved by the City Council.
Commissioner Szurek asked Mr. Sonnenberg how he was going to maintain the fence without going
on the neighbors property. Mr. Sonnenberg replied that he had a very good relationship with the
neighbors and did not anticipate any problem.
Motion by Fowler, seconded by Larson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the six to
seven foot high special purpose privacy fence at 1109 N.E. 43 1/2 Avenue. Roll Call: All Ayes.

CUP/Variances/Site Plan
Case #9407- 30
Superamerica Group
5000 Central Avenue
Columbia Heights, Mn.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES
JULY 5, 1994
PAGE 3
Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Superamerica for a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan
Approval to allow the operation of a motor fuel station and convenience store at 5000 Central Avenue.
Superamerica is proposing to remove the existing building and rebuild a new structure at the rear of
the lot. She informed the Commission that the site plan has been reviewed by the Traffic
Commission, the Fire Department and the Engineering Department and recommend approval as it
provides safer traffic flow. She noted that the Engineering Department requirements are as follows:
1. Superamerica must maintain the four inch D.I.P. installed on T.H. 65 ROW. Owners may want to
consider installing a screen to minimize materials that may clog the pipe from entering.
2. Mn/DOT approval must be obtained for connecting to the storm sewer system.
3. On Sheet C4 the new manhole is identified as #2 on the plan and as #1 in the drainage structure
schedule.
4. The contractor will be required to obtain a street excavation permit to work in the City right-of-
way.
5. The site plan has not changed from the plan approved by the Traffic Commission on June 7, 1994.
6. The Engineering Department requests a copy of the as-built storm sewer plans.
Ms. Nygaard also informed the Commission that three variances would be required. The Commission
reviewed each variance request and voted on each one individually.
Variance #1. A variance of 9'6~ to the rear setback. Ms. Nygaard stated that a ten foot rear yard
setback is required. The property to the west is significantly lower and runoff would be better
controlled by moving the building to the rear of the lot. Roman Mueller and Steve Klucas,
representing Superamerica were present. Mr. Mueller stated that the drainage is currently "sheet
drained" and is being proposed to be collected and contained under the property in large pipes and
then metered and drained into the Mn/DOT storm drain system. Commissioner Larson stated that
Superamerica should obtain an agreement in writing from the adjacent property owner to grade at
the rear of the lot as it is evident that encroachment onto the adjacent property will be necessary.
Motion by Larson, seconded by Paulson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the 9'6"
rear setback variance at 5000 Central Avenue due to the hardship of the topography of the lot and
predicated on an agreement with the adjacent property owner being submitted to allow encroachment
for grading purposes. Roll Call: All Ayes.
Variance #2. A variance to the requirements for a ten foot landscaped yard at the right of way. Ms.
Nygaard stated that this area is currently paved and there is a large landscaped right of way. She
indicated that Superamerica would be adding plantings and doing sod repair. Mr. Mueller of
Superamerica indicated that he has discussed the landscaping with Mn/DOT as landscaping is on the
right of way. Commissioner Paulson asked Mr. Mueller if the proposed building would have more
frontage on Central Avenue than the current building. Mr. Mueller was not sure if there was more
or less frontage.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES
JULY 5, 1994
PAGE 4
Motion by Larson, seconded by Paulson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the
landscape variance due to the hardship of the topography of the lot and the currently paved area and
large landscaped right of way based on approvals of Mn/DOT and provided the requirements for
plantings and sodding are met as well as the installation of the lawn sprinkler system. Roll Call: All
Ayes.
Variance #3. A variance to provide a dumpster at the rear of the building. Ms. Nygaard explained
that the proposed site plan has a dumpster room built into the front wall line of the building. This
area is accessed by an overhead door and will be separated from the main building by fire resistive
construction and will require a sprinkler head to be installed in the room. Commissioner Larson
inquired of the Superamerica representatives as to the time of trash pickup suggesting that they may
want to control when trash will be picked up so as not to cause a traffic circulation problem during
peak business times.
Motion by Fowler, seconded by Paulson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the
variance request to allow the dumpster in a different location due to the hardship of the topography
of the lot. Roll Call: All Ayes.
Commissioner Larson expressed concern that the proposed trees to be newly planted do not block the
sight/visibility lines for traffic exiting the Superamerica lot. He also inquired as to the status of the
freestanding sign on the premises. He asked if it was in conformance with City Ordinances and if
it was located on the right of way or on private property.
Motion by Larson, seconded by Fowler, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the
Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan pending removal of the existing buildng, provided the signage
conforms to the City's Sign Ordinance and contingent upon conformance with the Engineering
Department requirements. Roll Call: All Ayes.

REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES
JULY 5, 1994
PAGE 5
Ms. Hager and Johnson are requesting an appeal of an order by the Building Inspector to relocate the
fence at the rear of the property to a point three feet inside the rear property line. She indicated that
the present fence is one foot from the rear property line and the new section of fence just installed
connects to the existing fence.
Ms. Nygaard informed the Commission that Section 6.404(1) of the Fence Ordinance states "Fences
along any rear property line which abut a public alley or street shall be no closer than three feet from
said rear property line or street boundary line". This requirement is to provide adequate clearance
and area for snow removal along the alleys. Loren McClanahan, Superintendent of Public Works, has
stated in a memo that the City could not be responsible for any repairs to the fence if approval was
granted to leave the fence in its present location.
Ms. Nygaard explained that the original portion of the fence installed in 1975 was installed under a
building permit and inspected by the Building Inspector at that time and approved even though the
three foot requirement was in effect.
Ms. Hager and Johnson stated that they would be willing to submit a notarized letter holding the City
of Columbia Heights harmless for repairs or replacement of the fence that encroached into the three
foot area.
Motion by Fowler, seconded by Paulson, to approve the appeal of the administrative orders provided
the owners of 4200 Van Buren Street submit a signed and notarized letter holding the City of
Columbia Heights harmless for repairs or replacement of the fence if damaged by City vehicles. Roll
Call: All Ayes.

Motion by Larson, seconded by Paulson, to table the lotsplit request to the August 2, 1994 Planning
and Zoning Commission meeting. Roll Call: All Ayes.
STAFF REPORTS:
A. Discussion was held regarding a question raised by Patrick Fisher of Wolfpack Properties,
management company for the Columbia Heights Mall at 4001 Central Avenue, as to the possibility
of leasing space to School District 13 to operate a special education program for pre- k children in the
Mall. Evelyn Nygaard presented the item for discussion as she felt there could be a conflict due to
the operation of the Box Seat Bar and Grill on the south end of the same property.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES
JULY 5, 1994

Section 5.503(10)(e) of the License Ordinance pertaining to licensing of Intoxicating Liquor sales
states 'No license shall be granted for any hotel or restaurant building, the nearest point of which
measured in a straight line, is within 300 feet of a school building. A building housing a post
secondary school is not a school building within the meaning of this Ordinance".
Mr. Fisher contended that the business would not be connected with entrances to each business
separate and about 200 feet apart. Karen Schuab, Director of Community Education for Columbia
Heights/Fridley, stated that they had been looking for a space for quite some time and this would be
the best and their first choice as they need a space where at least 40 parking spaces could be provided.
She felt it would not be a problem to the school system if there was a liquor establishment within 300
feet of the proposed operation.
Commissioner Szurek felt that the Liquor Ordinance would apply in this case and that the City could
not disregard the 300 foot requirement as it could set a very serious precedent and create problems
in the future. She felt that if the City allowed this operation to locate in the Mall within the 300 foot
requirement to a liquor establishment and the Box Seat Bar and Grill had problems or went out of
business, the Box Seat location could no longer be eligible for a Liquor License. She cited the lengthy
process the City just went through to accomodate a pool hall proposed within the 200 foot distance
to a church to make sure no liquor would be served.
Commissioner Paulson agreed stating that the real concern is to not create any future problems.
Commissioner Larson asked if there was a definition of a school that could determine if the proposed
operation is actually a school or a social program administered by the School District. He felt that
perhaps the State may clearly define the proposed use and directed Ms. Schuab to check.
The Commission directed Attorney Gilbert to prepare an opinion as to whether such a proposed use
could be located on the same property as a liquor establishment, even if not attached and separated,
and the possible ramifications to the City.
B. Evelyn Nygaard updated the Commission regarding the previous proposal by Rayco Construction
at 3801 N.E. 5th Street to enlarge their building. She informed the Commission that the City had
received a letter from Rayco's attorney stating that the City could not require on site parking to be
provided.
Motion by Larson, seconded by Paulson, to adjourn the meeting at 8:25 p.m. Roll Call: All Ayes.

ITEM:CUP/Variances/Site Plan,Superamerica BY: E. Nygaard .... BY: ",,.,,
NO: ,9407-30, 5000 Central Avenue 7' k~ DATE: July 7, 1994
The Superamerica Group is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a
motor fuel station and convenience store at 5000 Central Avenue. Superamerica is proposing
to remove the existing building on the site and rebuilding it at the rear of the lot.
The three variances requested are as follows:
1. A variance of 9'6" to the rear setback due to the hardship of the topography of the lot.
A ten foot rear yard setback is required. The property to the west is significantly lower and
runoff will be better controlled by moving the building to the rear.
2. A variance to the requirements for a ten foot landscaped yard at the right of way. This
area is currently paved and there is a large landscaped right of way. Superamerica will be
adding plantings and doing sod repair.
3. A variance to the requirements to have a dumpster at the rear of the building. The
proposed site plan has a dumpster room built into the front wall line of the building. This
area is accessed via an overhead door. It will be separated from the main building by fire
resistive construction and will require a sprinkler head to be installed in the room.
The Traffic Commission, Fire Department and Engineering Department have all reviewed this
proposed site plan and recommend approval as it provides safer traffic flow.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit
conditioned upon the recommendations of the Engineering Department and provided the signage
conforms to the City's Sign Ordinance.
RECOMMENDED MOTIONS:
Move to approve the request by Superamerica for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a motor
fuel station and convenience store at 5000 Central Avenue.
Move to approve the variance of 9'6" to the rear setback.
Move to approve the variance of the ten foot additional landscaping by the Central Avenue
right of way area.
Move to approve the variance to allow the dumpster to be located inside the front wall line
of the building.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER
Meeting of: July 1 l, 1994
AGENDA SECTION: New Business ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT CITY MANAGER
NO. 9 POLICE APPROVAL:
Control Contract~..,~ BY: Leonard M. Olson BY: ~x ~.~.~
ITEM:
Animal
NO. (~ ~"' DATE: June 27, 1994
DATE:"
The City has been contracting with the Greater Anoka County Humane Society for animal
control since 1988. The cost of this service has been reasonable. The actual track record of
costs using their services has shown a stable fee basis, even with inflation over the past few
years. There are no changes or cost increase from 1993 to 1994 in general contract
provisions, other than inclusion of a $2.00 per dog vaccination charge. The Humane Society
recently adopted a policy to vaccinate all dogs upon entering their premises in order to help
combat the highly infections Parvo virus many stray dogs bring into the shelter. Dogs to be
euthanized are not vaccinated, however.
The Humane Society provides an approved service and acceptable facilities, as well as
qualified, caring personnel. The new contract proposal appears to be in line with inflation and
other reasonable increases so they may continue to operate a financially sound business. The
attached proposed contract prices are realistic.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into
a contract for animal control services with the Greater Anoka Humane Society for the period
August 1, 1994, through July 31, 1995, at the rates proposed in their letter and contract sent
to the City June 21, 1994.

DEAR ADMINISTRATOR,
ENCLOSED YOU WILL FIND YOUR 1994-1995 ANIMAL IMPOUND CONTRACTS WITH
THE GREATER ANOKA COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY. ONCE AGAIN, THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS DID NOT RECO}~END RATE INCREASES AND NO SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE CONTF~\CTS.
IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, OUR STAFF VETERINARIAN INSTITUTED A NEW
POLICY OF VACCINATING ALL DOGS UPON ENTERING THE BUILDING. THIS
ACTION WAS NECESSARY TO HELP COMBAT THE HIGHLY INFECTIOUS PARVO
VIRUS THAT SO PL~.NY STRAY DOGS BRING INTO THE SHELTER. WE HAVE BEEN
BILLING ALL CITIES $3.00 TO COVER THE COST OF THE VACCINE.
RECENTLY, WE WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE A NEW VACCINE AT A REDUCED RATE

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 11, 1994
1) OPERATIONAL REPORTS
Attached are Operational Reports from various Department Heads indicating significant items
undertaken or accomplished for the month of June.
2) SHARED RIDE
Attached please find the Shared Ride Report through May, 1994.
3) SHINE SURVEY, SPRING~ 1994
Enclosed please find the results of a survey conducted by SHINE members of 227 households in the
Sheffield neighborhood (there are approximately 500 total households).
4) U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE - SAFE HAVEN GRANT PROGRAM
Attached please find the application information for a discretionary grant program to develop
neighborhood multi-service centers. This is similar to the concept that was being investigated for the
Sheffield neighborhood or the former 7-11 storefront. The grant would provide up to $100,000
financial support for this type of school- health-education service center. It may be difficult to develop
a truly comprehensive application by the August 8th deadline, as the successful program would require
involvement of the school district and various county agencies.
5)
STATE INNOVATION - COOPERATION GRANTS
The State Innovation-Cooperation grants are due by August 23, 1994. I have been discussing a number
of options with staff and adjacent cities. First, Leonard Olson is in discussions with the Joint Law
Enforcement Council to develop a jail/detox transport program. It is my understanding that Chief
Mawhorter had considerable discussion with the Board last winter, but there was not much interest to
proceed unless the cities were willing to put some amount of money into the program. Apparently
some cities are not interested in funding support. The Sheriff has signed a staff member to coordinate
the pre-application preparation, in the event there is enough interest to pursue the matter. I have
discussed the potential of the joint legal services venture with Fridley, another joint adventure with
Fridley and New Brighton regarding building inspection services, and still another discussion with St.
Anthony on engineering services.
6)
CAR STEREO ORDINANCE
Attached please find information from the Acting Police Chief regarding an ordinance to address loud,
obnoxious, and booming car stereos. The attached ordinance from South Lake Minnetonka prohibits
unnecessary noise, high fidelity and/or public address systems absence of a special event. If the
Council is interested in pursuing a solution to the problem, I request your input.
7) CIVIL SERVICE MEETING NOTICE
Attached please find a Thursday, July 25, 1994, meeting notice regarding the selection of two police
officers. At that meeting, the oral interview procedures and selection process will be discussed.
On a related topic, I had previously suggested an arrangement of a joint City Council/Civil Service
meeting. I request your input and schedule of availability in the event you are interested in pursuing
the meeting.
8)
CIGARETTE MARKETING/MERCHANDISING
Attached please find staff information regarding recent problems with cigarette marketing and
merchandising conducted outside of local businesses. The question before the City would be the
requirement for licensing of these marketing campaigns as a transient merchant (or something similar)
vs. simply establishing standards for operating the campaign. Again, I request your input or comments
on this issue.
9)
JULY 4TH FIREWORKS
Overall, it appears the July 4th fireworks was successful. We did have a minor incident with a youth
spraying mace in the crowd and one low discharged fireworks. By some unofficial accounts, the crowd
was larger overall than last year. Additionally, if the event is held next year, we intend to make
available more restroom facilities or satellites near the City Hall parking lot.
10)
WORK SESSION SCHEDULE
At the last meeting, the Council scheduled Work Sessions for July 14th at 7 P.M., and July 19th at 7
P.M. Additionally, I would like to finalize the date for Work Sessions on August 1st at 8 P.M., August
15th at 8 P.M., and August 29th at 8 P.M. City staff is attempting to arrange the consultants for the
water system study to be present at the meeting to discuss their findings at the August 1st meeting.
At the August 15th meeting, a variety of items will be presented or followed up on from previous
meetings. The August 29th meeting, I proposed to dedicate to discussing the 1995 budget proposal.
11)
ETHICS BILL INFORMATION
Attached please find information from the League of Minnesota Cities regarding implications of the
Ethics Bill on h)cal elected and appointed officials. This item will be further discussed at the July 14th
Work Session..At this point, it appears that the City staff should formulate a resolution along the lines
of the League of Minnesota Cities information for consideration by the City Council.
12)
STATUS OF METROPOLITAN COUNCIL REGIONAL BLUEPRINT DRAFT
Attached please find information regarding the final draft of the Regional Blueprint.

I. Events/Accomplishments
With the attention drawn to 44th Avenue because of the request for a sidewalk, one
of the topics was speeding cars. Although the police department has proactively
provided radar enforcement to this street on a semi-regular basis, when the latest
issues were voiced, the police department tried yet another proactive tool in
controlling the speeds. A device was used that shows "YOUR SPEED IS" and it was
operated with the help of police Explorer members. This device was on loan from
a neighboring police agency. The device is a large screen with 12 inch numerals that
mounts on the trunk or hood of the squad car. It provides a readout of the speed of
a vehicle in the range of the radar unit it is auached to. The unit encourages speed
compliance, promoting positive community relations. No tags were issued during the
two weeks of operation, but the community responses were positive. The Explorers
involved said that the average speeds were generally around the 35 mph range.
Several motorists stopped to relate the eye opening experience of actually observing
their speed and to realize they were exceeding the limit. One motorist asked if a tag
would be mailed to him. The value of this motorist awareness is deemed to be quite
valuable.
On June 15, I attended the monthly SHINE meeting located at the Keyes Park
warming house. Issues and information exchanged made the meeting very
interesting.
Co
On June 16, I met with the Superintendent of School District 13, Dr. Holt, as well
as High School Principal Jane Goodell. The Police School Liaison contract was
signed for the school year 1994-95. This provides the funding of half of the officer
wages for the nine-month school year.

Do
The annual Jamboree and parade was noted as the best yet from the police
standpoint. Officers felt the parade went smoothly. The parade seems to be judged
by how many bands it contains and this year the count was seven. The grounds
coverage was routine with few incidents, but overall appeared to be a great success
for the carnival business as well as the community.
Eo
The Immaculate Conception Church held the Rose Totino funeral the morning of
June 25. When the ground lots filled with parkers, overflow went into the N.E.I. lot.
This was followed by the very long procession afterwards. The street officers and
I were busy with traffic concems. While the funeral service was in progress, we also
helped the "Women of Today" organization with their annual "Trike-a-thon" which
formed in the [.C.C. parking lot and proceeded to the rear of the Field House. This
also went off without a problem,
Fo
Also on June 25, I attended the Lomianki Park dedication and was very impressed
with our Polish visitors and their sincere appreciation for the activities and
hospitality. I later transported the two visitors to a waiting Field House reception
hosted in their honor. A little red light and siren goes a long way.
II. Projects/Goals
With the arrival of the new police vehicles, arrangements were made to have the
graphics and equipment changed over. The cars will hopefully be useable by mid-
July.
Bo
The federal grant procedure continues to move forward. I have been in communica-
tion with our contact person in Washington, D.C.. and have met with the Civil Service
Commission to begin the process of hiring two officers. Time lines appear to place
our new officers on the department by September 1.
C
Crime statistics remain reasonably stable with comparisons of June, 1993 to June,
1994. See attached graph.
III. Issues/Problems
Ao
The department continues to receive random speed and stop sign complaints from
various parts of the city. Officers have been instructed to work these locations as
often as practical. The department is researching the possible purchase of our own
"YOUR SPEED IS" unit. The advantages of such a device appear to be worth
budgeting for.

RE:
OPERATIONAL REPORT
JUNE 1994
DEPARTMENTAL GOALS:
1995 BUDGET
As of the end of June the City Manager is finalizing his proposed 1995 budget.
During the month of July the Finance Department will finalize the document that
goes to the City Council. As there have been many changes in the format of the
budget document, this will be a slightly more time-consuming process this year
as all forms are new; however, the changes in the document should facilitate a
cost effective, time-saving document in the future.
ISSUES AND PROBLEMS:
FINANCE DEPT. STAFFING
As I reported in last month's Operational Report, the part-time Accounting Clerk position
and the full-time Utility Accounting Clerk I position are still vacant. Progress has been
made in filling these positions. The Utility Accounting Clerk I should be starting in mid-
July. The part-time Accounting Clerk should be starting some time at the end of
September. In addition, Jennifer Gentry, the City's receptionist, is going on maternity
leave approximately July 18th. When she retums at the end of September she will be
returning to the part-time Accounting Clerk position. As of this date, there has been
some progress in filling the Receptionist position. It is anticipated that the Receptionist
position will not be filled until the end of July. In summary, the problems and delays in
filling Finance Department vacancies are having an effect on productivity in the
Department. However, it has not created any significant problems or deficiencies.

SUBJECT: Operational Report, June, 1994
DATE: July 5, 1994
I. Events/Accomplishments
With the attention drawn to 44th Avenue because of the request for a sidewalk, one
of the topics was speeding cars. Although the police department has proactively
provided radar enforcement to this street on a semi-regular basis, when the latest
~ssues were voiced, the police department tried yet another proactive tool in
controlling the speeds. A device was used that shows "YOUR SPEED IS" and it was
operated with the help of police Explorer members. This device was on loan from
a neighboring police agency. The device is a large screen with 12 inch numerals that
mounts on the trunk or hood of the squad car. It provides a readout of the speed of
a vehicle in the range of the radar unit it is attached to. The unit encourages speed
compliance, promoting positive community relations. No tags were issued during the
two weeks of operation, but the community responses were positive. The Explorers
involved said that the average speeds were generally around the 35 mph range.
Several motorists stopped to relate the eye opening experience of actually observing
their speed and to realize they were exceeding the limit. One motorist asked if a tag
would be mailed to him. The value of this motorist awareness is deemed to be quite
valuable.
On June 15, I attended the monthly SHINE meeting located at the Keyes Park
wanning house. Issues and information exchanged made the meeting very
interesting.
Co
On June 16, I met with the Superintendent of School District 13, Dr. Holt, as well
as High School Principal Jane Goodell. The Police School Liaison contract was
signed for the school year 1994-95. This provides the funding of half of the officer
wages for the nine-month school year.

The annual Jamboree and parade was noted as the best yet from the police
.standpoint. Officers felt the parade went smoothly. The parade seems to be judged
'by how many bands it contains and this year the count was seven. The grounds
coverage was routine with few incidents, but overall appeared to be a great success
for the carnival business as well as the community.
The Immaculate Conception Church held the Rose Totino funeral the morning of
June 25. When the ground lots filled with parkers, overflow went into the N.E.I. lot.
This was followed by the very long procession afterwards. The street officers and
I were busy with traffic concerns. While the funeral service was in progress, we also
helped the "Women of Today" organization with their annual "Trike-a-thon" which
formed in the I.C.C. parking lot and proceeded to the rear of the Field House. This
also went off without a problem.
.Mso on June 25, I attended the Lomianki Park dedication and was very impressed
with our Polish visitors and their sincere appreciation for the activities and
hospitality. I later transported the two visitors to a waiting Field House reception
hosted in their honor. A little red light and siren goes a long way.
II. Projects/Goals
mo
With the arrival of the new police vehicles, arrangements were made to have the
graphics and equipment changed over. The cars will hopefully be useable by mid-
July.
The federal grant procedure continues to move forward. I have been in communica-
tion with our contact person in Washington, D.C. and have met with the Civil Service
Commission to begin the process of hiring two officers. Time lines appear to place
our new officers on the department by September 1.
Crime statistics remain reasonably stable with comparisons of June, 1993 to June,
1994. See attached graph.
III. Issues/Problems
The department continues to receive random speed and stop sign complaints from
various parts of the city. Officers have been instructed to work these locations as
often as practical. The department is researching the possible purchase of our own
"YOUR SPEED IS" unit. The advantages of such a device appear to be worth
budgeting for.

DEPARTMENTAL GOALS:
1995 BUDGET
As of the end of June the City Manager is finalizing his proposed 1995 budget.
During the month of July the Finance Department will finalize the document that
goes to the City Council. As there have been many changes in the format of the
budget document, this will be a slightly more time-consuming process this year
as all forms are new; however, the changes in the document should facilitate a
cost effective, time-saving document in the future.
ISSUES AND PROBLEMS:
FINANCE DEPT. STAFFING
As I reported in last month's Operational Report, the part-time Accounting Clerk position
and the full-time Utility Accounting Clerk I position are still vacant. Progress has been
made in filling these positions. The Utility Accounting Clerk I should be starting in mid-
July. The part-time Accounting Clerk should be starting some time at the end of
September. In addition, Jennifer Gentry, the City's receptionist, is going on maternity
leave approximately July 18th. When she returns at the end of September she will be
returning to the part-time Accounting Clerk position. As of this date, there has been
some progress in filling the Receptionist position. It is anticipated that the Receptionist
position will not be filled until the end of July. In summary, the problems and delays in
filling Finance Department vacancies are having an effect on productivity in the
Department. However, it has not created any significant problems or deficiencies.

SHINE SURVEY, SPRING 1994
RESULTS'
The overall results of the survey taken by SHINE from February through May
1994, really provided some clear cut focus for our organization. While the answers
were not surprising, we believe them to provide a clear examination of the issues at
hand and some of the focus needed to address these issues. 227 surveys were taken.
Those surveys were taken door to door to guarantee a cross reference and to give
some credibility to the survey. The number 227 represents over one third of the
families living in the designated Sheffield area. Most surveys rarely reach above 10
percent; we feel that over 34 percent is a marked improvement of any general survey
and a truer picture of the results.
These results will be presented to the SHINE organization, to the City Council,
to the police department, and to the local media. We feel that it is important to provide
widespread information of the improvement and the direction for the Sheffield area.
Question 1
we live in?
What is your number one concern about the neighborhood
47% responded crime
6% responded vandalism
9% responded maintenance/improvement of the area
18% responded safety
9% responded property value
6% responded drugs
5% responded appearance
General comments included: unsupervised youth, gangs, security, too many
rental properties, good neighbors moving away, overcrowding in homes.
It can be assumed from the survey that crime is still a large issue in the Sheffield
area. Seventy-seven percent of the respondents reported an issue of crime. While
residents in this area are quick to acknowledge the improvement of the
Pierce/Fillmore area, they would also be quick to point out the blighted areas of Tyler,
46th-47th, the 11 plexes on the corner of Central/47th and the corner of 47th/Tyler.
Rental units outside of the target block need to be addressed.
Question 2: How would you rate the overall feeling of safety in your
neighborhood? A. Better than a year ago. B. Worse than a year ago C.
The same as a year ago.
56% of the respondents felt that there had been no improvement since
1992-1993..Sixteen percent felt that the problem had gotten worse. Forty-three felt
that the situation had gotten better.
General comments included: afraid to walk to K-Mart,. cleaned up drug area a
bit, rentals need to be cleared out, I take the Metro Ride because I feel unsafe at MTC
kiosk.
Question #2 provides some interesting insight. Over 1/3 of the residents
surveyed felt that improvement had been made. The problems that exist are still large
in their scope and will not be arrested in a short time span. This is strong support to
say that the system of community policing has been successful and should be
continued in that form, without changes. An interesting correlation to that point follows
in the response to question number four.
Question 3 Are you satisfied with the police protection in your
neighborhood?
58% said yes
42% said no or only sometimes.
The overall general comments here that the police were not visible enough and
that they took too long to respond to calls. Several respondents felt that it was getting
better.
Over half of the people were happy with the policing, but they did have
complaints. Again evidence that the present form of community policing is working.
Question 4: Do you know the current community police officers assigned
to your neighborhood? If the officers were removed, do you feel your
safety would be jeopardized?
92% responded that they knew the officers and would feel
uncomfortable if they were removed.
8% answered no.
General comments included: many people knew Val Dietz and Terry
Nightengale on a first name basis.
Again it's obvious that the system is working. Any substantial changes to that
system would jeopardize the inherent change taking place. These three questions
alone are evidence enough to maintain the program and blend it into the general
community as well.
Question 5 In general, what is your recommendation to improve the
neighborhood?
Recommendations include:
more single family homes (the majority of responses)
more enforcement of code violations (rental property)
better screening of tenants
better visibility of police
more lighting
fewer duplexes
gentrification
curfew enforced
more community meetings
get rid of the minority people
racism by the community
Many of the recommendations were generalized into these. Many of these are
also being addressed by the neighborhood organization and the City Council. It is
particularly distressful to see the comments about racism and the minorities. Diversity
is a big issue that is not being addressed in our community. It will be the first topic of
discussion at SHINE's monthly education part of the meeting this fall.
Question 6: Shine is an established positive
interest you to join our team? What are your
can we help you?
organization. How can we
individual needs and how
66% responded that they would like to attend our meetings
34% were not interested
General comments included: curious how to join, tried 35 years ago,
already a member, too old to make a difference, we're moving out of this
neighborhood as soon as we can.
This question was of particular interest to our organization. We were hoping to
increase our membership by this survey. Our organization has 53 mailing members.
We often have a core of twenty people attending our meetings. We are focusing on
ideas that will directly benefit our neighborhood and the city in general. For example,
September will focus on diversity. In October, Chief Olson will present ways to help
keep your home safe from crime. These meetings will be open to the public. We hope
to educate our community as well as our own neighborhood. We realize that we need
more publicity about our meetings; we are addressing this issue. We will mail issues
of our newsletter to all residents. This will inform the members of citywide issues as
well as SHINE news and information.
Question 7: In general, how do you feel about being a resident of the
City of Columbia Heights?
There was an overall general favor toward living in Columbia Heights. While
many people complained that the city had gone into disrepair over those last 8-10
years, there was a consensus that changes were being made for the better. While
there were issues, most responded with "1 like it" or "It was better than the last place
we lived"
It should send up a red flag that there was a perception of racism in our city and
neighborhood. If you're the target of the prejudice, it can't be a comfortable place to
live or raise your children. Diversity and issues of inclusion are ideas that need to be
stressed and taught. We will make an effort toward a this fall.
Conclusion
It's obvious that we are on the right track. Community policing as defined under
the present system has made an impact as has the formation of the SHINE
organization. Both need to be maintained and allowed to work in the area. There are
still issues of safety present among the citizens in the area. While crime has
diminished around the target block of Pierce/Fillmore, it has stretched to the farther
outreaches of the neighborhood. We are seeing an increase in criminal activity
around 45 1/2 and Fillmore and the Tyler/Central/47 the area. These need to be our
areas of concentration. People are proud to live here and would like to remain as long
as a safe and tolerant environment can be provided for them.
There were several issues raised about the amount of children on the street at
night. We need to find some positive activity for them. Traditionally, this area has not
been a strong supporter of the City's Recreation programs. We need to find something
that will get them doing something positive. We need to address the issues of diversity
and inclusion raised by this survey. Certainly, Sheffield has a glut of rental properties,
but if this area is concerned about matters of race and inclusion, there are other areas
within our city that have similar concerns.
The bottom line, Columbia Heights is a great place to live. We have some
problems and we have moved forward on those. Perhaps the most positive outcome
of this survey shows us the strength we have when we work together, community,
council, school and police department.

Safe Haven Program
Purpose
The purpose of this program, which is jointly sponsored by the Department of Justice and the
Department of Education, is to demonstrate the Safe Haven program which features comprehensive
school-health-education components. A Safe Haven is a place where youth and other residents can
develop relationships, enhance skills, and find opportunities to be productive and successful. Through
its visibility, proximity, and program diversity for residents of all ages, the Safe Havens program
fosters resistance to drugs, crime, and other problems. It provides an environment for residents and
service providers to recreate their neighborhoods. The Safe Haven program also encourages residents
and service providers to identify existing problems then develop programs and services that emphasize
prevention, intervention, and treatment activities to solve these problems.
Background
The Department of Justice and the Departrnent of Education have entered into an interagency
agreement to establish a joint demonstration project, in neighborhoods that are willing to implement
Safe Haven programs, to develop the comprehensive school-health-education components of the
program.
A Save Haven is a multi-service center where a variety of youth and adult services are located in a
highly visible and accessible facility that is secure against crime and illegal drug activity. It brings
together law enforcement, community services, basic and continuing education, health, recreation,
employment, and other key sectors to provide opportunities, skills, and recognition for young people,
their family members, and other residents of the community in a safe environment. A special
emphasis is placed on education about prevention of drug abuse.
The preferable location in which to locate a Safe Haven is in a neighborhood school, since it is usually
a well-known facility with ample room for a broad variety of activities. A school has certain attributes
that tend to make it defensible against crime, and often it is protected by drug-free school zone laws.
The facility should be open from early morning through the evening, and the services should be
provided by highly experienced personnel.
If it is not possible to locate the Safe Haven in a school setting, other sites may be considered, such as
a community center, a PUblic housing development, a church or temple, or other secure, accessible,
and appropriately equipped building. While a Safe Haven should be designed to operate in a single
location, it may be necessary, due to facility constraints, to utilize other facilities for selected services
(e.g., Boys and Girls Clubs).
The types of programs and services that should be included in a Safe Haven program depend on the
factors within the neighborhood that place people at risk of becoming involved in crime, drugs, and
other problem behaviors. Programs and services that are implemented should reduce or eliminate
these risk factors. To prevent a problem from occurring, it is important to identify the factors that
predict development of the problem. The next step is to find ways to reduce these factors, and
Safe Haven Program Application Kit 1
simultaneously to enhance protective factors that reduce the likelihood that the problem will recur or
continue.
Many young people do not become involved in drugs or crime even though they have been exposed to
the risk factors associated with this behavior. To balance the risk factors in these youngsters' lives, are
protective factors -- qualities or conditions that moderate the effects of exposure to risk. These factors
protect either by reducing the impact of the risks or by changing the way a person responds to the
risks. The Safe haven program demonstrates this comprehensive prevention strategy that is designed
to enhance protective factors while reducing risks, and to promote wholesome behavior leading to
health, well-being, and personal success.
Research indicates that protective factors fall into three basic categories: individual characteristics,
bonding, and healthy beliefs coupled with clear standards. The last two protective factors concern the
relationship bc.tween young people and their environment and exist in all areas of life: the community,
the schools, the family, and the peer group.
The following three factors must be present in peoples lives:
· Opportunities - Children and adults must be provided with opportunities to contribute to their
community, their school, their family, and their peers.
· Skills - Children and adults must be taught the skills necessary to take effective advantage of the
opportunities they are provided.
· Recognition - Children and adults must be recognized and acknowledged for their efforts in
accessing opportunities and acquiring the necessary skills.
Goals and Objectives of the Safe Haven Program
The goal of the Safe Haven program is to enable neighborhood youth and adults to become healthy,
productive, law-abiding citizens, free from drug and alcohol abuse, through the establishment of a
neighborhood-based multi-service center, located in a safe environment.
Therefore, the following five objectives are critical t~ any Safe Haven project:
· Establishing a multi-service center within a target neighborhood;
· Ensuring safety and security of citizens using the multi-service center;
· Providing a wide range of educational, social, and recreational services for youth and adults;
· Promoting collaboration among public, private, and community groups in developing and
implementing services; and
· Suppo~ng involvement with ongoing neighborhood revitalization efforts within the target area.
Each neighborhood will establish specific measurable objectives for its own Safe Haven project, based
on an assessment of risk and protective factors.
o R.r~n. of JusticeAssistance
Strategy
This solicitation invites applications from jurisdictions for developing comprehensive school-health-
education components in neighborhoods that are willing to implement the Safe Haven program. Funds
awarded under this competition must be used for educational programs directed toward the elementary
or secondary school level in one or more of the following areas: personal health and fitness; nutrition;
mental and emotional health; prevention of chronic diseases; substance use and abuse; accident
prevention and safety; community and environmental health; prevention and control of communicable
diseases; human development and aging; and effective use of the health service delivery system.
Applicants must explain how the following steps will be conducted:
Assess community leadership support for a Safe Haven project. Applicants must determine the
concept and design of a neighborhood-based multi-service center, with the primary policymakers
and service providers taken from principal components of the criminal justice system and the
public/private human service system. These mechanisms are intended to ensure the coordination
and concentration of services in the target area.
Conduct local Safe Haven project orientation. Applicants must establish a policy-level steering
committee to convene a meeting of community service providers and neighborhood residents
regarding the purpose, design, and potential placement of a Safe Haven multi-service center.
Establish the Safe Haven project's organizational structure. Applicants must ensure that the
steering committee establishes an organizational committee comprised of policymakers, service
providers, and neighborhood residents to oversee the design, development, and implementation of
comprehensive school, health, and education services in a Safe Haven program.
Conduct a risk factor and resource assessment. Applicants must utilize multiple sources of
information to assess the level of risk for the neighborhood as a whole, as well as for its subparts;
identify programs and services that can protect against risk; and identify existing resources that may
address the risk and protective factors.
Select target area. Applicants must ensure that the coordinator, in conjunction with the organiza-
tional committee, identifies a geographical area within a target neighborhood as well as potential
sites for the placement of the Safe Haven project. The coordinator initiates preliminary discussions
with the appropriate public/private policymakers, who will be responsible for providing space, health
and education services, and other support.
Select an implementor. The applicant must ensure that the organizational committee, utilizing
· competition or other strategies, identifies a local public/private agency to be responsible for staffing
design, development, and implementation activities. This agency will be responsible for developing
the health and education components and for negotiating the integration of other related services into
the project.
Identify a facility. The applicant should give preference to a middle school or high school to
facilitate the delivery of health education services.
Develop a strategy. The applicant must address identified risk and protective factors. The strategy
should specify the goals, objectives, and corresponding performance indicators, as well as the critical
program elements and types of services that will be delivered.
Safe Haven Program Application Kit 3
Select existing local public and private resources. The applicant must locate those resources
which have the capability to support the program and services identified in the strategy, develop
interagency agreements, and determine how Federal resources would be used for health education
services.
Develop an implementation plan. The applicant will specify who, what, where, when, and how
each activity will be conducted.
Selection Criteria
Applications will be reviewed and rated according to the following criteria: Points
1. The comprehensiveness and specificity of the proposed approach to delivering school
health education services in a Safe Haven multi-service center ....................... 40
2. Commitment of local agencies to providing technical and financial resources in support
of the goals and objectives of the demonstration activity ........................... 30
3. Qualifications of key staff to manage and direct demonstration activities ................ 25

Audit Requirement
In October 1984, Congress passed the Single Audit Act of 1984. On April 12, 1985, OMB issued
Circular A-128, "Audits of State and Local Governments," which establishes regulations to implement
the Act. OMB Circular A-128 outlines the requirements for organizational audits that apply to BJA
grantees.
Institutions of higher education, hospitals, and other nonprofit organizations are responsible for
providing an audit of their activities not less than every 2 years, in accordance with OMB Circular A-
133. The required audits are to be on an organization-wide, rather than a grant-by-grant, basis.

Cigarette Merchandise Distributions
.'7~ ~ 1994
~!]'¥ ' .i.~\ HEIGHTS
A number of questions have been raised regarding the operation by cigarette distributors setting up
stands in parking lots of various businesses to distribute merchandise to the public. Sales of cigarettes
are conducted inside the store or gas station and then the patron can go to the vehicle/stand in the
parking lot and obtain merchandise by showing proof of cigarette purchase.
Section 5.203(1) of the Transient Merchants Section of the License Ordinance pertaining to itinerant
hawkers, peddlers, solicitors, canvassers and transient merchants requires a license to sell merchandise
within the City. A transient merchant is described in Section 5.203(2)(b) as someone who operates
out of a stationary place of business and does not possess a vested property right in said place for a
period exceeding six months.
Section 5.203(5) requires applicants for a transient merchants license to also have a license from the
Anoka County Auditors office and proof of a filed bond as required by Minnesota Statutes Chapter
329.
The Zoning Ordinance requires a Conditional Use Permit to allow any accessory structure (i.e. tents,
canopies, trailers, etc.) in any of the business districts.
It is the contention of myself as License Clerk as well as Leonard Olson, Acting Police Chief, that if
we do not require licensing of the cigarette distributors conducting such distributions, the City looses
control over their operation. Licensing gives us the opportunity to determine where on a given
property the activity will be conducted, whether required parking spaces will be eliminated to allow
the operation, to assure traffic circulation patterns are not hindered, to know who the individuals are
conducting the operation and their backround, etc.
I also do not feel the intent of the Ordinance was to differentiate between selling or giving away
product in determining if a license is or is not required.
It is Staff's belief that, if someone has not made the required purchase inside the store to enable them
to obtain merchandise free, that the operator of the outside business would not decline to make a cash
transaction for an item.
The Police Department and myself have been informing these cigarette distributors that licenses are
required to conduct such operations.
I am requesting direction and/or an interpretation of the current license ordinance section as to
whether I can require only sales of merchandise to have a license or if "sales" as stated in the
ordinance also encompasses "give-aways". Should the language be changed to state distribute rather
than sell/sales?

I am in receipt today of your memo regarding the distribution of merchandise outside the Top Valu
Liquor Store, 4340 Central Avenue.
Top Valu Liquor Store is required to.provide a minimum of seventy (70) parking spaces. The
Marlboro van should be located in one of these allocated parking spaces.
Your reference to Section 5.203(3)(g) of the License Ordinance leaves me at a loss as to what your are
getting at. Top Valu does not currently hold a transient merchants license to conduct sales outside
the store nor do the Marlboro people. Jn my opinion, this section would not apply to your proposed
temporary activity.
Just to re-iterate, if sales are conducted outside the store in the parking lot by Marlboro, a transient
merchant license will be required.

LICENSING REQUIREMENTS
I have researched the City code on licensing as a follow-up to our conversation regarding distributing
merchandise outside of Top Valu. As a result, I feel that such distribution is permitted.
First, your concern that actual sales would take place outside of Top Valu: All sales will occur within
Top Valu. Based on these sales, promotional items will be distributed from a Marlboro van parked in
front of Top Valu. Furthermore, it should be noted that the Marlboro van is on loan to Top Valu Liquor
and all activities related to its activity will be conducted through Top Valu as a part of its operation.
Also, from my review of the City code it seems that Top Valu could make sales from this van. Although
this is not the plan and will not be done, Chapter 5, Acdcle 1, Section 3, 5.203(3)(0 states the following:
"No person shall engage in or conduct business as an itinerant hawker or peddler;
transient merchant selling merchandise, wares or goods; or a solicitor-canvasser; without
a license issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
"A license shall not be required under this section for ... Persons licensed for the same
business activity under any other section of this chapter."
Thus, it appears that Top Valu could conduct sales outside of the Top Valu premises as a transient
merchant.
Based on the above information, the Marlboro van will be seuing up in the parking lot in front of Top
Valu as part of Top Valu's promotion for merchandise that we are licensed to sell. If there are any other
sections of the code that contradict this section I have referenced, please let me know as soon as possible.

Law prohibits gifts to local officials
Duke Addicks and Joel Jamnik
Effective August 1, two provisions
of a new law (Chapter 377) will
prohibit almost every gift to local (city
and county) officials.
The portion of the new law which
applies to local officials in all cities and
gounties is Minnesota Statutes 471.895.
it states that "an interested person may
not give a gift or request another to
or city." The del'tuition of an interested
person implies that the type of local
official who cannot accept a gift is a
local official who is authorized to make
decisions which could impact someone
financially. Clearly the law applies to
all mayors, councilmembers, and
members of appointed bodies.
Many appointed officials including
inspectors, clerks, administrators,
managers, finance officers, and people
who purchase or advise on the pur-
chase of supplies, goods, and services
are also covered. The law goes beyond
local officials who can make financial
decisions. The law reefers to local
officials whose decisions (a reconunen-
dation is a decision).could impact
someone financially,
Finally. there is the question, "what
is a gift.9" A gift m~ana =money, real or
personal property, a service, a loan, a
forbearance or forgiveness of indebted-
ness, or a promise of future employ-
ment, that is given and received
without the giver receiving (from the
local official) consideration of equal or
greater value in return." To help
clarify this, the law established some
exceptions. The following are not
prohibited gifts.'
· A political contribution.
· "Services to assist an official in the
performances of official duties,
including but not limited to
providing advice; consultation,
information, and communication
in connection with legislation, and
services to constituents." But this
exception seems to be more
confusing than clarifying.
· "Services of insignificant mon-
etary value."
· "A placque or memento reco?i,--
ing individual services in a field of
specialty or to a charitable cause."
· "A trinket or memento of insignifi-
cant value." What is insignificant
value.9 Under a related law, a gift
of a $2 pocket calendar was found
to be a prohibited gift (E.P.B.
Advisory Opinion #141). Thus,
give a giR to a local official. A local
official may not accept a gift from an
interested person."
This sounds simple but it isn't.
Who is an "interesw. cl pc,-son?'
The law states that an interested person
"means a person or representative of a
person or association that has a direct
financial interest in a decision that a
local official is authorized to make."
This certainly includes anyone who is
this exception, as with all of them,
should be read very narrowly.
· 'Informational materials of
unexceptional value."
· 'Food or beverage given at a
reception, meal, or meeting away
from the recipiem's place of work
by an organization before whom
° the ~cipient appea~ to make a
speech or answer questions as part
of a program." This is the only
exception to what seems to be the
rule: all other gifts of food and or
beverage are prohibited. Under a
related law, vendor contributions
to a meeting of local officials for
breakfasts, hospitality rooms,
snacks or refreshments were
prohibited (E.P.B. Advisc~
Opinion #142).
· Gifts to a group of non-local
officials of which a local official
happens to be a member, and gifts
from a family member.
There is a related law, enacted in
Chapter 377, codif'~! as Minnesota
Statutes Section 10A.071 which applies
to officials of metropolitan cities over
50,000 population and to legislators. It
prohibits gifts from lobbyists. The
exceptions are virtually the same. The
only real difference is that the law
applying to all cities will be enforced
by criminal prosecution whereas the
law dealing with lobbyists will be
enforced by the Ethical Practices
Board.
The real enforcement of these new
laws will be through public opinion.
The media and political opponents of
those in office will be watching to see
how ca_mfully local officials follow the
law. That is why we are advising
caution. As a general rule no elected
official, member of an advisory hoard,
or public employee should accept any
gift unless the city attorney is of the
opinion that the gift is one of the rare
exceptions to the rule.
The League will continue to advise
city officials of the developments as
this new law is interpreted. Watch
future issues of the Cities Bulletin for
or may provide goods or services to a
city, such as engineers, fiscal advisors,
conU'actors, atlorneys, sales representa-
fives, etc.
But virtually every resident of a
city could have a direct financial
interest in a decision that a local
official could make. Until this issue is
clarified our advice is simple: local
officials should not accept a gift from
anyone.
But who is a "local official.9" The
law defines local official to mean "an
elected or appointed official of a
county or a city or of any agency,
authority, or instrumentality of a couhty

Action Step 3C. The Council will promote higher-density
development along selected transportation corridors where
major transit capital investments are made, or at major
transit transfer points (transit hubs and parlc-and-ride lots),
and guide a portion of the region's future growth to such
corridors and locations.
BLUEPRINT COMMENTS

o Transportation and Land Use ••
V Strengthen actions to link land use and transportation.v Use transit to support ex_isting concentrated development.v Support energy conservation, reduce petroleum
consumption and reduce CO2 emissions.V Discourage sprawl along highway corridors.v Better definition of objectives and benefits of cluster
planning and development to help reduce single-purpose
trips, increase energy efficiency, better land use, lower travel
costs.
V Council should return to its past role of mandating
densities in developing communities.v Council should support development at densities to
support a light rail system but stay out of zoning, it is a local
matter.v Place restrictions on additional highway capacity to
support land use pattems and transit hub development.V Emphasize bus system and forget about LRT as a solution.
V Support regional infrastructure investment only in areas
where communities are intensifying development.v Expand handicapped transportation facilities.v Recognize different needs of suburbs; do not use a single
standard that favors urban patterns.
o The map on page 37 should be amended to include a
recommended HOV Lane on 35W north from Highway 36 to
118; the map should be replaced with a map showing
regional, community and local transit hubs/mixed-use centers
as a focus for higher density development.

SECURITY FOR SHEFFIELD DUPLEX REMOVAL
JULY 11, 1994
As you are aware, the City Council approved the contract with Otting House Movers of
Lakeville, Minnesota, to remove the 15 City-owned duplexes and 3 garages in the 4600 block
of Pierce and Fillmore Streets. Under the terms of this contract, Otting will be paying the City
in contrast to our usual contracts in which the City is paying the Contractor.
For "typical" contracts, the City requires a surety bond from the contractor for performance and
payment to employees and subcontractors. In the event that the contractor defaults on the
contract, the City, through the surety bond, can complete the project by procuring another
contractor and/or avoid mechanic's liens caused by the contractor's non-payment of employees
or subcontractors.
I have been working with Otting on providing some type of surety to the City as a guarantee that
the City's objective of the removal of these buildings and filling of the foundations is
accomplished. To this end, Otting has agreed to provide security in the amount of the low
demolition bid of $66,139.00.
This security is made up of the following items:
1. Cashier's Check (bid bond) $ 2,587.50
2. Payment for buildings $ 8,625.00
3. Additional security (see below) $54,926.50
Total $66,139.00
Otting has requested that the City consider taking a letter of credit from the First National Bank
of Northfield backed by assets of Otfing in the same bank.
Memorandum to Patrick Hentges
July 11, 1994
Page 2
If this method is acceptable to the City, the Letter of Credit will be drafted containing language
making the City the sole entity able to draw on the Letter of Credit and stipulating that the ability
to draw on the Letter of Credit extends through the one-year warranty period after the work is
completed.
As Otting wishes to start the week of July 18, I request that the Council be polled on the
acceptability of this proposal.

Re: 'City Attorney Representation
Dear Mr. Hentges:
Upon a recent review of our Amended Proposal to the City dated June 16, 1994, it appears that we did not ade-
quately explain an alternative option to on-site legal services available to the City. Specifically, at paragraph B
entitled "General Municipal Representation", an offer of three days per week, four hours per day of "in-house"
legal services at the courthouse is proposed. Should the City not desire on-site legal services, there would be a
corresponding reduction in the General Municipal Representation monthly retainer amount.
If Freeman and Alton, Ltd. is not asked to provide such on-site services, our firm would not need to staff the
CiW Hall office at a net savings to the City. We have calculated the savings to equal $1500.00 per month. In
short, should the City choose to forego the on-site option, Freeman and Alton, Ltd. would be in a position to
adjust its monthly retainer amount for General Municipal Representation from $4,500.00 to $3,000.00. Since
our' Columbia Heights office will only be a few blocks away from City Hall, Freeman and Alton, Ltd. would be
abl~ to offer essentially the same services on an "as needed" basis. This option would also avoid possible over
reli.0nce upon an on-site city attorney. On the other hand, appropriate city matters could be given priority dur-
inglthe same hours noted above in our offices.
Freeman and Alton, Ltd. remains dedicated to providing the best "fit" for the City representation be it the prose-
cutions, the civil work or both.
I am sure that it will come as somewhat of a relief to know that, barring any further request of the City, this will
be our last letter regarding our interest in the city contract.
Th~nk you for your continued consideration.
Sincerely,
F.re~,cman & AltT, Ltd~
