He noted the property would forfeit to the State of Minnesota in May, 1995 unless the property taxes were paid. Ramifications for the City and for the HRA if this forfeiture occurred were reviewed. The history of the building relative to its appraised value and restructuring of the original development agreements was discussed. The City' Manager felt a key element of the agreement would be for any encumbrances to be cleared and subordinated. He advised this is a financially viable proposal as all the necessary safeguards are in place. Gordon Awsum, Vice President of Zaidan Holdings, Inc., stated that with the University of Minnesota lease in hand, payments owing are virtually guaranteed.

"SERVICE 1S OUR BUSINESS" EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS TO: FROM: DATE: RE: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PAT HENTGES, CITY MANAGER NOVEMBER 10, 1994 675 47TH AVENUE N.E. PROPERTY To date, we have no record of inspecting the property at 675 47th Avenue N.E., as it has been owner- occupied in the past. It is my understanding that the owners have purchased and moved to another property outside of the city. Though city inspectors have not been through the property, it is our assumption that many aspects of the property may make it difficult to qualify for a rental license without a significant investment, or a VA/HUD insured mortgage. This would not prevent a contract for deed sale to an owner/occupant. This does bring up a point the City may consider in the future, and that it the development of a "point of sale" ordinance. This essentially requires all parties to disclose and correct major deficiencies upon sale of owner-occupied properties. Such an ordinance also addresses the sale of inadequate properties (that do not qualify fo~ HUD or VA mortgages) to be sold for cheap rental properties. The property could be eligible for CDBG acquisition. However, the purchase agreement can only be entered into with contingencies, including a closing date of July 1, 1995, and be contingent the award of 1995 CDBG funding. I suspect that the true value as a cash purchase would be far less than the $38,000 the property is listed for. The tax record information on the property is as follows: Taxes Payable 1994: Value for Payable 1994: Value for Payable 1995: $576.07 $41,500 $37,400 Year Built: 1920 Lot Size: 50 x 134.3 Square Footage of House: 624 sq. ft. house/no garage cb i",!O'V - 8 Hello, We are a group of neighbors on 47th and 47th and 1/2 Avenues Northeast. There is a very small sub-standard home at 675 47th Avenue NE. It is currently for sale by Edina Realty, its list price is $38, 900. At one time it was a drug house, and has had a succession of owners / renters. The current owners have moved to a new home, they are very nice people, however, they did not do much with the property until they had moved and were putting the property up for sale. It has been an eyesore and has affected the values of the surrounding homes which range from $70,000 to $90,000 in value. We are currently working with Brian Colvin and Jerry and Joanne Finney of Habitat for Humanity. We would like the H.R.A to purchase the home or contribute to the purchase of the home and have it removed, the property could be donated to Habitat for Humanity, which would then build a new house. We have seen the designs of the houses, and they would be very compatible with the existing homes in the neighborhood. The neighbors have formed a group to work in harmony with Habitat and or the H.R.A. We are very motivated, interested, and sincere. This property is in danger of being purchased by an absentee landlord, we've been through that, please, not again. We realize the city has new rental laws that would be beneficial to us. However that does not guarantee a good, viable renter or do anything for our home values. We would be more that willing to work with you, and appreciate all your help. As we understand their is no mortgage on the property, and could possibly be purchased for around $28,000. We are gung-ho on the idea of removing this house and having Habitat build a new one. Habitat is very interested in working on this project and very much liked the lot. We will attend the next city council meeting and introduce ourselves then. We also will bring a letter with alt of our names and addresses. This property has warped floors and is the size of some garages. The square footage is 624. It would not be, in our opinion very v/able for rehabilitation. It is located in a quiet cul-de-sac that has been called one of the most stabile in Columbia Heights at our "Night Out" block parties, by the police who v/sit us. We are very concerned, and willing to pitch in. We realize Sheffield Heights has the concern of the H.R.A and the city, but we really need your help now. The owners of 675 47th are very willing to work with us, Habitat and the H,R.A and the city to come to a solution, however they can't hold on the to property for an extended period, they can't afford to maintain 2 properties approximately 40 miles apart. We would appreciate any and all the help you can give us.

AND FILLMORE ST. ~ ~, · The City Council held a first reading on this ordinance on Monday, November 7, 1994, at a Special Council Meeting. This ordinance deals with the authorization to convey certain real estate located on 4600 block between Pierce St. and Fillmore St. in conjunction with the Sheffield/First Choice home development project. The ordinance references the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale and Development Agreement between the City and First Choice Homes; as actual sale term under which each individual deed will be conveyed. At the last meeting, the City Council directed staff to make four specific amendments to the development agreement (amendments are duly noted with underlines in the draft copy). The amendments are as follows: 1) Park Dedication: The Developer will be responsible to prepare and seek approval of a subdivision plat in lieu of a lotsplit/division procedure. Any park dedication as required is deemed waived upon execution of the agreement. The basis for the waiver is the feasibility of providing additional public park land in only a one block area, the actual downsizing of the density, and the fact that this is a re-plat of an already recorded subdivision. 2) Architectural Review Board: The Agreement calls for the establishment of an architectural review board and the submission of proposed restrictive covenants. The architectural review board will include a representative from the City and one from the Developer. They are charged with the responsibility of approving restricted covenants on the property and reviewing each building permit to assure that compliance with the architectural features, material and colors selections as set forth in the conditions of the covenants. 4) Sewer Access Charges: The City has agreed to waive sewer access charges (SAC). The City will receive 40 SAC credits from MWCC due to the redevelopment of the property. Floorplans: The Developer will see~ pre-approval of four home styles to be constructed on the property. The four plans will include a floorplan and front elevations, including identification of fixtures, building materials, landscaping, site improvements, etc. Plans will have to be approved prior to the issuance of anything other than a basement construction permit for the model home and must be consistent with the quality, size, and design features of the plans submitted in the original proposal.

AND FILLMORE ST. NO: Page 2 of £ Pages In summary, the Agreement provides for a $180,000 base sales price for the proposed 18 lots. Essentially, each lot will be sold on an individual or lot by lot basis by the City to the Developer. The conditions of the Agreement prescribe that the Developer will have to make certain improvements to the property in conjunction with the Project. Thus, the Developer will have to invest money up front in order to facilitate construction. The contract sale basis and the upfront private investment will minimize any City risk in conjunction with this phase of the development, as the Developer essentially has an exclusive right to the property as long as he continues to perform as to the conditions to the agreement.

This ordinance deals with amending Ordinance No. 853, City Code of 1977, Vacating a Certain Alley Easement on the 4600 block between Pierce and Fillmore Street. The alley dissects the block, running north and south between 46th Avenue and 47th Avenue. The vacation is a necessary condition of the development proposal by First Choice Homes, as the 18 single family homes proposed for the block will be designed with garages/driveways loading from the street. As a part of the discussion that occurred at the first reading of the ordinance, a question was posed relevant to the status of the utilities on the alley after the effective date of the vacation. This type of language was drafted by the previous City Attorney to address any utilities that exist in the alley at the time of vacation. It should be noted that upon re- platting the property, it will be necessary to locate and incorporate utility easements on the back lot lines and front lot lines to accommodate cable TV, gas, and electric. Essentially, the identification or accommodation of easements is one of the essential parts of the platting process. Many of the easement locations will be changed in the event utility lines are placed underground.

Also present were Evelyn Nygaard (Building/Zoning Administrator), Don Schneider (Director of H.R.A./City Planner) and Jim Hoeft (City Attorney). Motion by Peterson, seconded by Fowler, t0approve the minutes from the meeting of October 4, 1994 as presented in writing. Roll Call: All Ayes. NEW BUSINESS: Petitions, letters and requests. Public Hearing Lotsplit Case #9411-47 Paul Wychor RE: 1814 N.E. 41st Avenue Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Wychor for a lotsplit of 1814 N.E. 41st Avenue to allow the combination of the rear 120 feet with the property he owns located at 1813 N.E. 40th Avenue. She explained that Mr. Wychor had previously made the request on behalf of the owner, Russell Kroger, who has since passed away. Mr. Kroger's sister, Doris K. Berg, who was present, has agreed to the lotsplit. The lotsplit will leave 1814 N.E. 41st Avenue with a lot size of approximately 110 feet by 180 feet which is an ample lot size for the R-2 Zoning District. Motion by Paulson, seconded by Fowler, to approve the lotsplit as presented for 1814 N.E. 41st Avenue. Roll Call: All Ayes. *THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE NOVEMBER 14, 1994 CITY COUNCIL MEETING. B. Site Plan Amendment Case #9411-48 Steve Jonak RE: 533 N.E. 37th Avenue Evelyn Nygaard presented this item as it had been tabled from the meeting of September 6, 1994 to allow Mr. Jonak time to obtain approval from the Traffic Commission for the curb cut on 38th Avenue and submit an amended site plan to the Public Works Director for formal approval prior to review of the amended site plan by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Ms. Nygaard had previously informed the Commission that Mr. Jonak has installed Class 5 underlayment for the driving area around the storage building and does not want to pave this area as previously required under the former site plan review. She indicated that the Zoning Ordinance Section 9.116(3)(a) requires driveways and parking areas for four or more vehicles to be surfaced with materials that control dust and drainage. She stated that a plan for surfacing and drainage must be approved by the City Engineer. She referred to a memo from the Public Works Director, Mark Winson, dated September 1, 1994 stating that, based on Section 9.116(3), it is his position that any PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES NOVEMBER 1, 1994 PAGE 2 designated or required parking area and driveways are to be surfaced with asphalt or concrete. He felt gravel can cause a dirt problem and could adversely affect drainage in the form of erosion and deposition of materials in a storm drainage system. She informed the Commission that the Traffic Commission's recommendation to the City Council for approval was tabled by the City Council until the paving and screening requirements of the Zoning Ordinance are met. Mr. Jonak was present to voice his confusion over what is required for screening. He also stated that his reason for not wanting to blacktop or concrete his yard areas is because the constant use of the forklift on blacktop causes it to break up too often and concrete would be too expensive. He also stated that the City sodded over the existing curb cut on 38th Avenue. He re-installed the opening for his use. He also complained about the other industrial businesses that have done remodeling projects (i.e. Duall, Col. Mctel Fab) but have not been required to blacktop or concrete their yard. Council Representative Peterson stated that when Mr. Jonak appeared before the Commission with his original site plan he indicated that the area would be hard surfaced and the future parking areas sodded and landscaped. Mr. Jonak should have known at that time how he would be using the area. Commissioner Paulson emphasized the fact that the dust created by the constant use of the forklift equipment on the unpaved area would create problems for the adjacent properties. He stated an unpaved area also causes drainage problems and runoff not only in the immediate areas but could also cause a far-reaching problem in respect to local ponds, streams, lakes, etc. He stated that the Zoning Ordinance requires concrete or paving of areas to reduce windborne and waterborne materials from the environment. Commissioner Pautson apologised to Mr. Jonak regarding the additional expense he will incur to comply with the Zoning Ordinance stating that he does have the benefit of the new building. Evelyn Nygaard stated that the curb cut onto 38th Avenue was not indicated on Mr. Jonak's original site plan. Commissioner Larson felt that if Mr. Jonak has installed a curb cut and created an access area or driveway, he must comply to to Ordinance requirements for hard surfacing. Mr. Jonak requested additional time to prepare a new amended site plan to reflect the changes he will require for the operation of his business. Motion by Larson, seconded by Paulson, to table the site plan amendment to allow Mr. Jonak time to prepare further documentation. Roll Call: All Ayes. Public Hearing Combination and Lotsplit Case #9411-49 David Ficek RE: 4241, 4255, 4301 N.E. 3rd St. Columbia Heights, Mn. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES NOVEMBER 1, 1994 PAGE 3 Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Fleck, on behalf of Richard Miller, for a combination of Lots 13, 14 and the south 60.86 feet of Lot 15, Block 1, Rearrangement of Block C of Columbia Heights Annex to Minneapolis, subject to road and utility easement over the west ten feet currently addressed as 4241, 4255 and 4301 N.E. 3rd Street. He also has requested a lotsplit of the property after the combination into five lots, four lots which will measure approximately 106 feet by 63 feet and one lot measuring approximately 90.58 feet by 101 feet. Being located in the R-3 Zoning District, she indicated that the four smaller lots, measuring approximately 6,678 s.f., could accomodate single family dwellings and the larger lot, measuring approximately 9,090 s.f., could accomodate a two-family dwelling. Julius Mortvedt of 4232 N.E. 3rd Street was present to voice his concern with development of these lots as he currently is experiencing a water runoff problem from the University Heights development. He felt that development of these lots would intensify the problem unless the City took some measures to correct the current problem. He presented pictures showing how the water runs downhill, overflows the curb, runs down his driveway and into his porch and back yard. Commissioner Szurek verified Mr. Mortvedt's statements and felt that the Public Works Department should take a good look at the problem and take definite measures to correct the problem. Richard Berg, owner of multiple dwellings at 4233 and 4242 N.E. 3rd Street felt that the City should not allow the construction of a two family dwelling on the site. It was his opinion that people who typically occupy a two family dwelling are noisier than those tenants in a multiple dwelling because they normally have pets and more people and vehicles. Mr. Hoeft indicated to the Commission that the lotsplit would be in order. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Paulson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the lotsplit as proposed for the property described as Lots 13, 14 and the south 60.86 feet of Lot 15, Block 1, Rearrangement of Block C of Columbia Heights Annex to Mpls. subject to road and utility easement over the west ten feet as all lots meet the requirements of the Zoning Code in this district for area and minimum width. Drainage requirements must be approved by the City Engineer on each lot as a building/buildings are proposed. Roll Call: All Ayes. **THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE NOVEMBER 14, 1994 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. Public Hearing Conditional Use Permit Case #9411-50 Kendall W. Stone RE: 4747 Central Avenue Columbia Heights, Mn. Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Stone for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a Christmas tree sales lot from November 25, 1994 through December 24, 1994 on the Central Avenue side (n.w. corner) of the K-Mart parking lot on the north side of the driveway. She indicated that the tree lot would use a space approximately 75 feet by 100 feet temporarily eliminating approximately 20 parking spaces. She felt the existing parking would be more than ample for K-Mart without this area. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES NOVEMBER 1, 1994 PAGE 4 She directed the Commission's attention to a letter from the Operations Manager of K- Mart granting Mr. Stone permission to operate the tree sales lot on K-Mart premises. She also stated that the operation would be the same as the operation approved for 1992 and 1993. Motion by Larson, seconded by Fowler, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow a Christmas tree sales lot at 4747 Central Avenue from November 25, 1994 through December 24, 1994. Roll Call: All Ayes. **THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE NOVEMBER 14, 1994 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA. STAFF REPORTS. Evelyn Nygaard presented Ordinance #1285 pertaining to Home Occupations. She read the sections with the proposed changes. It was the concensus of the Planning and Zoning Commission that the proposed ordinance changes reflect the previous concerns and recommendations of the Commission. A number of citizens were present, a good majority of them daycare providers who had recently become aware of the proposed ordinance and had concerns on how it would affect their operations. Ken Kronstedt of 5240 Washington Street, who prepares taxes and does accounting in his home, felt signage should be allowed anywhere on the property with perhaps some restriction on size. Commissioner Szurek referred to previous lengthy discussions regarding the provision for signage and stated that the proposal of two square feet was arrived at after much discussion. She stated that the City does not want to have the signage problems from the business districts in a residential area. Elizabeth Lauer of 4808 N.E. 4th Street was concerned about the placement of signage elsewhere on the lot. Currently, she displays her daycare sign on her fence near the front property line. Her house is at a higher grade which would prevent good visibility for a sign on the house. She indicated that the daycare sign informs children who might be in trouble that her home is a ~safe' house. She requested that the City take a look at an allowance for those cases where the house is a great distance from the street or at a higher grade in respect to placement of signage. Nancy Franceen of 4047 N.E. 7th Street and Martha Nyhus of 3954 Tyler Street both were concerned about how their daycare operations would be affected by Section 9.107(3)(d)(4) regarding the amount of traffic generated by the home occupation. Commissioner Szurek indicated that the ordinance section pertained to traffic parked on the site all day. A1 Carr of 4030 N.E. 5th Street stated his wife did daycare and that they were concerned about the registration fees that could be charged. He felt that there should not be any fee. Nan Tilkens of 3975 Johnson Street felt that if the City adopted a fee for registration, that fee would offset the staff time utilized for the process. She explained to the audience all the time that has been put in to getting the ordinance to this stage. She commended the City Staff and Commissions on their time and efforts in putting together something beneficial to the City as well as to those conducting home occupations and their neighbors. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES NOVEMBER 1, 1994 PAGE 5 Brian Holstine of 4141 Reservoir Boulevard stated that he thought this proposed ordinance was very much improved over what is currently on the books and indicated that he had no problems with the proposal. Harold Hoium of 4315 N.E. 5th Street asked what the City was going to do about the contractors that park their trucks and equipment on the residential properties and stored construction materials there as well. Commissioner Szurek stated that the adoption of this ordinance will take care of such problems.

We have attempted to research past applications as submitted by you, the owners. Unfortunately, most applications contain the wording "same as last year", which leaves us with basically nothing. If you will bear with us just one more time, I can assure you this will be the last complete Housing Rental License Application you will have to file with the City of Columbia Heights pertaining to the above described property. All information gathered with this application request will be compiled in a computer system designed for the fire service. The information you supply to us plus the information we gather about your property will be entered into fire department computers, which will enable us to pre-plan your building for most fire related problems which may surface at any time. Enclosed is the new License Application plus an explanation/rationale of the items required on the Rental Housing License Application~ This License Application will cover the period from August 1, 1994 thru Jul.v 31, 1995 and is pro-rated accordingly. We have attempted to fill in what little information we have been able to gather from your previous applications in this new application. Please read carefully and make any necessary corrections, additions and/or adjustments to the required information (preferably in red ink) and retum your application with the required licensing fee to us prior to July 31, 1994. A late fee of 25 percent will be assessed on August L 1994... An additional late fee of 50 percent will be attached on August 16, 1994 ... PLEASE NOTE: All information requested must be submitted. All incomplete applications will be returned, which could result in additional late fees being assessed. Should you have any questions, please call me.

During the past few months, negotiations have progressed between Meredith Cable, City Staff, and the City's Cable Attorney, and have culminated into a settlement proposal in the form of a Memorandum of Understanding. The proposed Memorandum of Understanding was reviewed at a joint meeting of the Columbia Heights/Hilltop Cable Communications Commission and City Council on October 20, 1994. At that meeting, the commission passed a motion recommending Council approval of the Memorandum of Understanding. Attached is a summary of the proposed settlement and the proposed Memorandum of Understanding. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with Meredith Cable setting forth certain understandings, stipulations, and agreements between the City of Columbia Heights and Meredith Cable regarding basic service rates and related equipment charges, refunds of overcharges, provision of universal PEG services, equipment replacement, and treatment of profits upon sale or transfer of ownership of the cable system.

MASTE:RMAN TO: FROM: DATE: City of Columbia Heights , ~IA TELECOPIER AND U.S. MAIL Thomas D. Creighton~ ~, November 4, 1994 Update of Settlement Proposal Regarding Meredith Cable's Rate Dispute BACKGROUND The City of Columbia Heights has ordered rate refunds pursuant to the authority delegated to the City by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). That Order is currently on appeal to the full Commission of the FCC after a ruling in favor of the City before the FCC Cable Services Bureau. The Order of the City affects rates charged by Meredith Cable Company from September 1, 1993 through July 15, 1994. The FCC has revamped the regulatory scheme effecting rates from July 15, 1994 and going forward. The main point of contention on appeal is the attempt by the company to charge subscribers a PEG access fee to recoup costs incurred by the company for providing public, education, and government community programming. The City has forbidden the charging of such fee from September to July 15. The company has added the fee again under the current going forward review, and the City would have to issue another order which, absent a final decision by the FCC, would also be subject to appeal to the FCC. The current rebate (including interest) ordered by the City is approximately $92,000. The new PEG fee currently under review is $1.96 per month per subscriber, which amounts to approximately $88,000 per year. Subscribers have been notified of,the current rates, including the PEG fee, since June 15, 1994, and the rates have been in effect since July 15, City of Columbia Heights November 4, 1994 Page 2 1994. The new rates, even including the PEG fee, are still lower than the rates charged from September through July 15, 1994. The City has received no complaints regarding the new rates, which include the PEG fee. SETTLEMENT The FCC has still not issued a decision on the current appeal related to the previous rates. The City has incurred more than $15,000 in accounting and legal fees to answer the first appeal from the company. The company has filed its new Forms 1200 and 1205 for rates from July 15, 1994 forward and have included the same calculations which were the basis of your first appeal. A new rate order from the City would be appealed again by the company and would require your participation in another appeal. While a second appeal would not be as expensive because it would involve the same issues, the City would still have to incur expense should they attempt to eliminate the currently charged PEG fee. The other Meredith systems which worked with the City on the first appeal and regulation of rates are all in the process of settling with Meredith in the current rate dispute. Both the North Suburban Cable Commission (Roseville area) and the Quad Cities Cable Commission (Anoka area) have reached a settlement, with the North Suburban area adopting the Agreement on November 3. As a result, further appeals would have to be responded to by the City without the opportunity for sharing costs, as you had in the previous appeal. Negotiations have progressed pursuant to your instructions throughout September and October. The City's cable commission has met in a joint meeting with the council to discuss the proposed settlement. The Commission has recommended that the Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding which is attached. For your review, a summary of the Memorandum is discussed below. (1) SETTLEMENT. The company agrees to dismiss its appeal to the FCC of the City of Columbia Heights' Rate Resolution. (2) REFUNDS. The company has agreed to refund art amount of $91,798.42 which it has collected from subscribers for the period September 1, 1993 to July 14, 1994, including franchise fees, state sales taxes and interest, the actual amount to be confirmed by review of Muellerleile & Harrington, accountant and rate consultant for City. The refund is to be completed within fifteen (15) days of the effective date of the Memorandum. City of Columbia Heights November 4, 1994 Page 3 (3) (4) UNIVERSAL SERVICE. The company shall make Universal PEG Service available at no monthly charge to the recipient and with free installation of one standard aerial or one standard underground drop and one outlet to all non-subscribers on and before January 1, 1996. Current subscribers may also get Universal PEG Service but will have to pay a downgrade fee to change from regular cable service to free Universal PEG Service. Universal PEG Service will include all of the community channels, including the government access channel. This has the potential of significantly increasing the number of Columbia Heights residents who will be able FREE OF CHARGE to receive city programming. PROFITS ON SALE. A significant concern is that the company not receive windfall profits if it sells the system because the City has allowed the company to charge rates which include a PEG fee. Since systems are often valued as a multiple of cash flow, the higher rates resulting from the addition of the PEG fee may provide Meredith with a higher sales price than they would otherwise recoup if the City had not allowed the PEG fee to be on the subscriber bill. This remedy was crafted to require that if a profit was realized in a sales price which provided Meredith with more money than they paid for and have put into the system (assuming a reasonable rate of return on their investment), such profit would be paid back to the subscribers instead of taken out by the company. Meredith has agreed that should it sell or transfer any interest in the system for a Profit (as defined below), the company shall pass the full amount of any said Profit on to subscribers up to and not exceeding the total dollar amount of Relief granted by any settlement (as defined below). Transfers of partial interests in the system will result in the profit calculations of this section being distributed in a pro rata manner. "Profit" shall mean the total Sale Price (including the value of any and all non- monetary benefits or incentives) received for the system by Meredith/New Heritage, less the Acquisition Price paid by Meredith/New Heritage, less an annual rate of return of 9% (subject to verification that 9% was the average of company's actual cost of money since the September 1, 1992 acquisition date), as agreed upon by the parties, less verifiable capital expenditures made since the acquisition date, less the reasonable costs of sale (attorney's fees, broker's fees, etc.). No allowance shall be made for accumulated operating deficits. "Relief" shall mean the total of that additional amount per month per subscriber since July 14, 1994, which the company may collect and/or retain under this Agreement, previously termed "PEG Costs" or "Other Franchise Fees" by the company, and for City of Columbia Heights November 4, 1994 Page 4 (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) which the City has previously disputed pass-through or external treatment. GOVERNMENT EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT. company shall purchase and install for the City an agreed upon amount of new equipment for city hall which will include new cameras, monitors, an information Kiosk for the front lobby, and a new audio system. The company will provide (for no charge) technical and design expertise to the City for the design of the new audio/video system for city hall. The equipment will be paid for out of the PEG fee, which will remain approximately the same because of a corresponding decrease in the fee resulting from removal of the fee for local origination programming. In exchange, the City would not require local origination programming (although the company currently has indicated an intent to continue such programming). Should the company sell the system prior to the expiration of the current Franchise, the company will pay to City $25,000 for additional programming equipment. If there is a Profit on the sale of the system, the money will be taken out of the Profit, before it is redistributed to the subscribers. If there is no Profit, the money will be amortized through the PEG fee. POSSIBLE STUDIO RELOCATION. The company has agreed to discuss with the City the possibility of using, for a fee, space in City Hall or other City property for the location of the community programming/access studio. SERVICE RATES. The company will be allowed to charge the rates including the PEG fee which they are currently charging. No increases in the PEG fee will be allowed until April of 1995. The total "PEG" costs passed through to subscribers are capped at current levels and will not be allowed to increase until actual costs exceed the current PEG fee pass through. SUCCESSORS BOUND. Any parent, general partner, subsidiary, successor in interest, transferee, or assign shall be expressly bound by the Agreement. The company agrees to disclose the terms of the Agreement at the outset of negotiations with any potential purchasers of the system. Failure of a potential purchaser to agree to the Agreement shall be grounds for company not to agree to the sale, and shall be reasonable and acceptable grounds for the City not to approve any such transfer of ownership. COMPETITION. Should effective competition, as agreed upon by the parties, develop within the City's cable service territory in the provision of video or cable City of Columbia Heights November 4, 1994 Page 5 (10) (11) (12) services, the company and the City agree to commence discussions regarding issues which give said competition an unfair advantage over the company. If any competitor begins the provision of service in the City in competition with Meredith, the City agrees not to regulate such competition pursuant to any more favorable terms than are already offered to Meredith. FRANCHISE FEE RECOUPMENT company agrees that it will not seek direct repayment from the City nor credit against future franchise fees due the City, any franchise fees overpayments made in 1993 and 1994 due to subscriber refunds pursuant to this Agreement. FRANCHISE COMPLIANCE. The City will acknowledge that company has not been notified of any existing franchise violations, other than those contemplated to be dismissed by the Agreement, and that no enforcement actions at law, other than those contemplated to be dismissed by the Agreement, are currently under way. EFFECTIVE DATE. The Agreement will be effective thirty (30) days after adoption by the City, in order to comply with the FCC requirement that subscribers have thirty days to appeal any rate determination of the City. For the purpose of the rate review of the most recent Form 1200's and 1205's submitted by the company, the Agreement will constitute a rate order, requiring no further review of the proposed rates of Meredith by the City.

Meredith filed FCC Form 393 with the City on or about November 15, t993. During the proceedings which followed, legal counsel for both Meredith and the City filed legal memoranda and responsive memoranda concerning their clients' respective positions. The City, through Resolution No. 94-10 denied Meredith's rate request based on City's disapproval of Meredith's external treatment of certain Public, Educational, and Governmental ("PEG") fees and disapproval of certain equipment/discormect and infiation-related adjustments. Meredith appealed this decision to the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). The Appeal was dismissed by the FCC Cable Services Bureau. Meredith has filed an Application for Review regarding said dismissal. c:\clicm\col-hgt\col-hgt.mu3 II/14/~ To avoid further litigation and consistent with the record of the proceedings before the City, Meredith and the City agree to certain stipulations as set forth in this Agreement. 2. SE'r'FLEME~. Meredith and the City agree that Meredith shall dismiss with prejudice and without costs to either party its appeal to the FCC of the City's Resolution Regarding Regulation of Rates (hereinafter "Rate Order"), adopted February 28, 1994, as well as all related motions, requests for review, or other proceedings (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Appeal"). Meredith agrees to seek dismissal of the Appeal within three (3) working days of the effective date of this Memorandum by Meredith mailing, via certified mail, a formal request for dismissal to the Federal Communications Commission (hereinafter "FCC") with a copy to the City. Meredith further agrees to take any and all additional steps necessary, as directed by the FCC or otherwise, to secure a dismissal of the Appeal. The parties agree that this Memorandum resolves all outstanding issues between the parties related to City's Rate Order. If the FCC issues an Order or other ruling regarding the Appeal before dismissal, or if Meredith is otherwise unsuccessful in procuring a dismissal of the Appeal, Meredith and City expressly agree to be bound by this Memorandum notwithstanding any FCC resolution of the Appeal. 3.

The City acknowledges that the credits on subscriber bills provided in Paragraph No. 3 will reduce gross revenues and the corresponding franchise fee payments to the City for the period in which the credits are given. 5. UNIVERSAL PEG SERVICE. Meredith agrees to make available on or before January 1, 1996 to all subscribers and nonsubscribers whose dwelling unit is passed by cable plant, Universal PEG Service, with free installation of one Standard Drop and one outlet and free monthly service to all non-subscribers and with free monthly service and the assessment of a downgrade fee (charged in compliance - Pa.g~ 2 - c; \¢ticnt~coi-hgt\eot-hgt. tau3 l 1/10194- Mcmomadura of Und~rimmiiag with Federal rate regulatory laws and rules) to all existing subscribers. Universal PEG Service shall be offered for the duration of the Franchise unless modified by mutual agreement of the parties hereto, or their successors. Meredith agrees to provide at no cost to subscribers an A/B switch and necessary associated cable-related equipment (meant to exclude antennas, antennae wires, etc.) to allow reception of broadcast stations on the subscriber's television, provided said television is capable of receiving broadcast signals. The parties agree that 'the rates charged to subscribers will not increase as a result of implementation of Universal PEG Service, except that Meredith may recoup the expense of such service as provided below as an inclusion in the PEG fee. The parties agree that realignment will be accomplished as set forth in Exhibit C. For purposes of this Memorandum, the following definitions apply: "Universal PEG Service" shall be defined as the provision to a recipient, free of any charges, monthly or otherwise, of all of the public, educational, and governmental access channels (hereinafter "PEG access channels") designated in Exhibit C, attached hereto and made a part hereof. "Outlet" shall be defined as the cable and associated connectors which runs from the point of connection to the subscriber dwelling unit to the subscriber receiver. "Standard Drop" shall be defined as the cable, not to exceed 250 feet, which shall run from the nearest connection point on the feeder cable of the Meredith system to the point of connection to the subscriber dwelling unit. Standard Drop includes both aerial and underground drops. Should the subscriber require or request a converter, or other equipment not essential to the reception of Universal PEG Service, or should the subscriber require additional Outlets or Drops which are other than standard, the subscriber will be responsible for the regulated charges for such services or equipment. Additional charges for drops which are other than standard shall credit the expense of the first 250 feet of the drop. Meredith shall pass through in the PEG Fee portion of subscribers' bills the costs of design and technical reconfiguration of the Universal PEG Service in the amount of eight (8) cents per month beginning April 1995. See Exhibit D. Upon Meredith's activation and provision of Universal Service and each year thereafter, Meredith shall provide the City with a reconciliation of amounts collected and expended related to this cost recovery and agree to an adjustment to the PEG Fee for any overpayment or underpayment. ¢: \¢licnt\c~l-h [,l~oi- hgt, m u.~ 11/10f94 M,mor'a~dum o f Under~anding · ) Meredith shall provide an initial written notice to non-subscribers announcing the availability of the Universal PEG Service. Meredith shall also mention the availability of the Universal PEG Service periodically in other marketing, promotional, or information material to non-subscribers and shall mention the Universal PEG Service in these materials at least quarterly.

Existing subscribers shall receive notice of the availability of the Universal PEG Service as part of Meredith's notice concerning the channel line-up and thereafter, at least annually. The City may promote the availability of Universal PEG Service, and Meredith shall make available to the City during the first sixty (60) days of the availability of the Unversal PEG Service at least four ad avails per week to be chosen at the sole discretion of Meredith. The City acknowledges that it has received from its legal counsel an opinion that Universal PEG Service is permitted under applicable federal and state law, and that Meredith need not change other services or rates to bring them into compliance with federal or state law. 6. PROFITS OF SALE. Meredith agrees that, should it sell or transfer any interest in the Cable System (sufficient to require City's approval pursuant to the Franchise) for a Profit (as defined below) prior to expiration of the current Franchise, it shall pass the full amount of any said Profit on to subscribers, up to, and not exceeding the total dollar amount of Relief granted by this Memorandum (as defined below). For any sale or transfer of a partial interest in the Cable System, Profit shall be calculated on a pro rata basis as set forth below. Nothing in this section shall constitute an admission or precedent for future rate regulation or transfer or sale of the Cable System which may occur beyond the initial term of the Franchise. "Profit' shall mean the total Sale Price (including the value of any and all non-monetary benefits or incentives) received for the Cable System by Meredith, less the Acquisition Cost, tess an annual rate of return of 9% on the Acquisition Cost (subject to verification that 9% was the average of Meredith's actual cost of money since the September 1, 1992 acquisition date), as agreed upon by the parties, less the verifiable capital expenditures made since the acquisition date, less the reasonable costs of sale (attorney's fees, broker's fees, etc.). The parties expressly agree that no allowance or other reductions or considerations in Profit calculations shall be made for any past or current accumulated operating deficits. "Relief" shall mean the total of that additional amount per month per subscriber, since July 14, 1994, which Meredith may collect and/or retain under this Memorandum, which was previously termed "PEG Costs" or "Other Franchise Fees" by Meredith, and for which the City has previously disputed pass-through or external treatment. o Page 4 - c: ~tiem\co!-hgt\col-hgt.mu3 II/10t94 Memcmmtum of Und~mantiing 7. EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT. Within thirty (30) days of the effective date of this Memorandum Meredith will provide to City equipment valued at $46,000 to improve government programming along with free installation and technical design expertise. The parties acknowledge that said expenditures may be passed through in the PEG fee. In addition, upon sale or transfer of any interest in the Cable System (sufficient to require City' s approval pursuant to the Franchise) prior to expiration of the current Franchise, Meredith shall pay the City $25,000 for replacement of production equipment, or the any other equipment repair or replacement the City deems necessary in its sole discretion. If there is a Profit in the sale, consistent with the definitions above, the $25,000 shall be taken out of the Profit before the remainder of the Profit is distributed to the subscribers as outlined above. Should there not be a Profit in such sale, the City consents to Meredith's passing through the expense in the PEG Fee on subscriber's bills pursuant to the agreed upon amortization schedule in Exhibit E. For any sale or transfer of a partial interest in the Cable System, the $25,000 shall calculated on a pro rata basis. 8. POSSIBLE STUDIO RELOCATION. Meredith agrees to begin discussions with the City to investigate the possibility of utilizing, for a fee, space at City Hall (or in other City owned properties which may be suitable) for the location of the community programming/access studio. 9. SERVICE RATES. Meredith is allowed to charge a basic service rate of $7.48, as is consistent with its current FCC Forms 1200 and 1205 filings, plus all amounts identified herein in Exhibit E as costs which are to be given external treatment, costs which may be passed through, or costs to be borne by the subscribers, all of which shall not exceed $1.96 except as provided for below, and which shall be identified on the subscriber bill and itemized as a "PEG Fee". The components of the "PEG" Fee as of the date of this Memorandum are those amounts which are agreed to by the parties to this Memorandum and as further delineated in Exhibit E. Future external increases, inflation and any other rate increases allowed pursuant to federal law and regulation shall be based on the basic service rate of $7.48. No increases are allowed until April of 1995. The total "PEG" costs passed through to subscribers are initially capped at $1.96. At the time that the tot~ amount expended by Meredith relative to the components of the "PEG" equals $1.96 per month, per subscriber, the City will not dispute increases in the $1.96 cap as a result - Page 5 - c:\clientkc01-hgtkcot-hgt, mu3 11110/94 Memorandum of Undersmuding of the pass-through treatment of these additional PEG Fees, subject to audit and verification of such costs, and further provided that any such increases which are not the subject of this Memorandum are consistent with then current and applicable state and federal law. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit other external increases not addressed in the Memorandum and other rate adjustments consistent with federal law and regulations. The parties agree that on or before January 1, 1995, Meredith wilt no longer include in the PEG fee calculation any expenses or costs associated with the provision of local origination programming. As of that date, Meredith will be relieved of its franchise obligation, if any, to provide local origination programming in the Columbia Heights franchise area. 10. ACCESS STAFF. Meredith agrees to create a reporting system, in consultation with City, which will provide for monthly reports of the activities and productivity of the access staff required by the City's franchise. These reports will be specific to the activities and productivity of such staff only as it relates to the Columbia Heights/Hilltop franchise area. 11. SUCCESSORS BOUND. Any parent, general partner, subsidiary, successor-in-interest, transferee, or assign shall be expressly bound by this Memorandum. Meredith agrees to disclose the terms of this Memorandum at the outset of negotiations with any potential purchasers of the Cable System or to any other individual involved in any other contemplated ownership transfer of the Cable System. Failure of any such potential successor in interest to Meredith to agree to all terms and conditions of this Memorandum shall be grounds for Meredith not to agree to the sale, and shall be reasonable and acceptable grounds for the City not to approve any such transfer of ownership or other transfer of interest. 12. COMPETITION. Should effective competition develop within the City's cable service territory in the provision of video or cable services, as agreed by both parties to this Memorandum at any time in the future, Meredith and the City agree to commence discussions regarding issues which give said competition an unfair advantage over Meredith. Should any other Multi-channel Video Programming Distributor CMVPD") over which the City has regulatory jurisdiction provide service in the current cable service area, the City agrees not to grant more favorable terms to such MVPD than are granted to Meredith. - Page 6 - ¢:\clieat\c~l-bg~\cot. hgt. mu3 11/10/94 Memomatium of Uu~rmmding 13. SEVERABILITY. Should any term of this Memorandum be determined to be unenforceable by the FCC or any court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of the Memorandum shall be treated as severed and shall remain in full force and effect. In the event that any court, the FCC, or any other body with jurisdiction over either party revises or voids any part of this Memorandum, the parties mutually agree to make any amendments to this Memorandum or other applicable agreement or ordinances necessary to effectuate the intention of this Memorandum. In the event that such amendments or changes are barred by any legal requirements governing either party, the parties shall use their best efforts to avoid prejudice to the respective parties' interests, and to implement changes to effectuate the intent in entering into this Memorandum. If either party finds unacceptable the remainder of this Memorandum as severed by operation of this section, and either party cannot agree with proposals by the other to amend this Memorandum to further the original intent of said party in nonagreement, then the parties agree to submit the remaining issues to binding arbitration. 14. FRANCHISE COMPLIANCE.

Please be advised that Meredith Cable intends to make refunds that ultimately come due to its subscribers in the Columbia Hei&,hts/Hilltop franchise area by providing current subscribers a one-time credit reflacting the cumulative overcha~e (less any offset for recoverable undercharges) for the period beginning September I, 1993,) according to the discretion afforded operators under Section 76.942(a) of the FCC's rules. At the same time, we respectfully request that your Commission ~ant a stay of any refund and rollback requirement until the FCC rules on our recently filed appeal. Meredith is willing, as a condition of the stay, to define a class of subscribers, which includes all existing subscribers as of the date the stay is ~ranted as well as all subscribers added subsequently up to the time any prospective refund is required, that would be entitled to a refund in the form of a one-time credit on their cable bill or, in cases where the individual is no longer a cable subscriber, a cash refund, of any amounts ultimately determined to be owed. Each subscribers refund would be prorated based upon the number of months that basic cable service was taken by that subscriber during that time period. Furthermore, Meredith will, at its expense, publicize the fact that it is accruing this refund liability and advise all subscribers that are included in the class that, should they move before the appeal is resolved, they should leave Meredith a forwarding address so that they can receive their refund if the Columbia Heights/Hilltop rate order is affirmed. Thus, Meredith's cable customers living in the Columbia Heights/Hilltop area will obtain the entire benef~ of the rate reduction Columbia Heights/Hilltop has ordered should it occur as ordered. We would request an opportunity to work with you and the commission's legal counsel to effectuate a stay under these conditions. We do wish to note that, the FCC has recognized that, in calculating the cumulative overcharge, an offset may be taken for past undercharges. For example, in discussing bill adjustments relating to the implementation of new service and equipment rates as of the September I, 1993 effective date of the rate rules, the Commission stated the 'cable operators must make prospective billing adjustments to refund overcharges (and offset any undercharges) in a reasonable manner.' ,Order, MM Docket No. 92- 266, note 21 (rel. July :27, 1993). Another example of a situation in which o~ets are appropriate, applicable in the instant case, arises where it is determined that a cable operator has underestimated the 'actual cost' of its equipment basket, resulting in a reduction in permissible service rates and an inch-- in permissible equipment charges. EXHIBIT B LtnlMag~e April 14, 1994 Page Two The Columbia He'L~ts/Hilttop Cable Commission's resolution regarding Meredith's rates states that refunds are pay-able with interest "computed at the applicable published rates for the refunds and additional tax payments." Meredith intends to comply with this requirement by applying the following rates: 7 percent for overcharges and 6 percent for undercharges. As we have previously indicated, Meredith has exercised its right to file an appeaJ wrch the FCC regarding certain aspects of the Comrnission's decision (including but not limited to the inclusion of disconnect activity in the equipment basket computation, the failure to use the proper inflation adjustment period, etc.), if Meredith is forced to make refunds and rollback r~tes at the present time, and we were to prevail on our appeal significant revenues would be forever lost to the Company. On the other hand, should the FCC uphold the Commission's decision, subscribers are fully protected since the rates would be rolled back at that time, and refunds would be payable back to September !, ! 993. Finally, Meredith wishes to emphasize its belief that issues relating to the calculation and payment of any refunds due subscribers can and should be worked out cooperatively with the Commission. Our loca~ legal counsel has requested a meeting with your legal counsel to discuss any concerns you may have so that we may jointly fully comply with Section 76.942(a) of the FCCs rules. We also note that the FCC just released its third reconsideration order - an order that likely will address matters relevant to the reasonable calculation and payment of refunds. We, of course, reserve the rJ~qt to amend our refund plans on the basis of any new information that becomes available in that order. Please contact me with any questions. Thanks for your attention.

The long-range plan, which has been in place since 1990 for the gradual replacement of the furniture in the public area of the library, outlines areas yet to be completed with fumiture from the Cambridge 9100 series from Buckstaff. In order to maintain the continuity of the plan, only additional pieces from the same line have been quoted from the distributor. By dealing directly with the company, the lowest price possible can be obtained by being part of combined orders which qualify for quantity discounts. On reviewal, the Children's Librarian has requested that the furniture for the Children's Room be adjusted to the following: Original Plan 2 table/chair sets (youth) (1 table plus 4 chairs per set) 2 table/chair sets (chi/d) (1 table plus 4 chairs per set) Revised Plan 1 table/chair set (youth) 1 table/chair set (child) 4 lounge chairs The following items have been quoted: 1 index table [East Room] 1 table/chair set (child) [Children's Room] 1 table/chair set (youth) [Children's Room] 4 lounge chairs [Children's Room] $1,482.95 1,194.50 1,140.65 2~557.40 $6,375.50 The 1994 budget contains $5,445 in line item #5170 (Office Equipment) and has $2,253 remaining in line item g5120 (Building and Improvement) from an earlier purchase of shelving. Staff is recommending that $930.50 from the unexpended balance of line item #5120 be added to the $5,445 available in line item #5170 so that this purchase can be made. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with P.M.

Winson BYI~E~ NO. o , DATE: 11/7/94 D Attached is a copy of the Master Plan for Snow Plowing, Removal and Ice Control. The plan has the same content as the 1993 plan but has been somewhat reformatted and updated with regard to equipment. The 1993/94 snow season was handled quite well which is reflected by the decline in the number of complaints received. Staff is recommending that the attached snow plan be adopted by the City Council. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to adopt the Columbia Heights Master Plan for Snow Plowing, Removal and Ice Control as submitted. MAW:jb 94-755 Attachment COUNCIL ACTION: MASTER PLAN FOR SNOW PLOWING, REMOVAL AND ICE CONTROL ADOPTED 11/22/82 REVISED 12/15/85 REVISED 11/30/88 REVISED 11/25/91 REVISED 11/09/92 REVISED 11/12/93 REVISED 11/07/94 POLICY The types of snow, wind conditions, t/me of day and time of the year the snow falls will affect the decision on when snow plowing operations will be performed. It has been our general policy to begin plowing snow when there is three and one-half inches or more of accumulation. Plowing may also be scheduled when consecutive smaller snowfalls, within a short time frame, amount to three and one-half inches. Plowing during the parking ban has proven to be the most efficient. CALLOUT PROCEDURE During non-City office business hours, the Police Department notifies the County Central Dispatcher, who in turn alerts the duty person of the conditions. The duty person then notifies the Public Works Superintendent, who, in turn, makes the decision to begin plowing operations. Should the Superintendent have any questions or concerns, he shall confer with the Public Works Director. The Public Works Superintendent has prearranged a schedule of assignments for personnel and equipment. On evenings and weekends the men are called out based on availability and overtime priority. PRIORITIES The following general priorities shall be observed when removing snow. Some priorities are performed simultaneously depending on conditions and existing situations. Priority gl - Plow streets, alleys, cul-de-sacs, dead ends, Fire and Police Department ramps and accesses, pump and lift station accesses. Priority g2 - Municipal building parking lots and sidewalks, pedestrian bridges, walkways we clear along 40th Avenue and 49th Avenue (see drawing gl). Priority g3 - Wargo Park sidewalk, Jefferson median, industrial and school hydrants. Priority g4 - Sidewalks on streets near parks, clear intersections for visibility, walkways through parks, skating and hockey finks, bus stops needing clearing for handicap accessibility and the Municipal Service Center walkways and stairways. Priority g5 - Hauling snow when necessary. (Business District, parking lots, widening streets, etc.) Priority g6 - Residential hydrants. 2 INITIAL PLOWING EMERGENCY When we know we are going to plow snow, the following assigned schedules are put into effect: A. Assignments by department 1. The Sign Department personnel shall hand shovel the pedestrian bridges and spread deicer The Engineering Department Techs shall remove snow and deice the walks around the Municipal Service building, parking lots and assist the Sign Department in the removal of snow from the pedestrian bridges. 3. The Park Department shall remove snow according to the following priorities: a. Furnish personnel as necessary for street plowing operations. b. Remove snow from sidewalks around Murzyn Hall (includes the rear of the building), and sidewalks along Mill Street in front of city parking lots. c. Clear snow on all City Hall sidewalks and deice when snow or ice conditions of less than three inches. For snow conditions of three inches or more the Fire Department shall initially clear all doorways, stairs, the bus shelter, and open the walks around the hall. If there is only one person in the Fire Department, they will contact Public Works who will supply one man to help them. After all other work is accomplished, the Public Works shall finish widening the walkways. In most instances, Public Works will clear the City Hall sidewalks when clearing the City Hall parking lots. In addition, the broom vehicle shall clear as much of the walkway in front of the Police Station as possible while in the area early on. d. The Police garage entrance is also maintained by Public Works during plowing and sanding operations. e. Remove snow from sidewalk - 40th and University SW corner. f. Remove snow from sidewalk - 5th St., 47th to 48th Ave. g. Remove snow from sidewalk - 37th Ave. from Central Ave., east to alley. h. Remove snow from ail hockey rinks and free skating areas. 4. The Sewer and Water Department shall remove snow according to the following priorities: Furnish personnel as necessary for street plowing operations. Plow entrances and areas around tower site, pump houses, and lift stations. Clean sidewalks and entrances at the Library before it opens. If necessary in the afternoon, the sidewalk snow removal will be done by personnel employed by the Library under the School Work Program, if available. Personnel can then assist others who are hand shoveling other areas. (The weekend duty person will be responsible for clearing the sidewalks on Saturday mornings before the Library opens (currently 10 A.M.) -3- Personnel shall assist the Fire Department in digging out hydrants as they become available. Certain hydrants have been designated as critical and will be witnessed by flag extensions. 5. The Street Department shall do as follows: a. Assign personnel as necessary for street plowing and sanding operations. b. Remove snow from main thoroughfares and apply sand. c. Remove snow from residential streets and alleys and apply sand. d. Remove snow from municipal parking lots. e. Clean up alley openings, intersections and the deposits of snow left by snowbirds. Follow up on complaints from the public and others.

Dead-end alleys and cul-de-sacs - Pickups and 1 ton dump trucks 5. Parking lots - front end loader and backhoe JCB #104 When a starting time is determined, the following procedures are followed: Main Thoroughfares The grader and loader working in tandem leave the City garage and plow 37th, from Central to Stinson, every other year, and, proceed to plow 39th Avenue from University to Central Avenue. They then proceed to 40th Avenue and plow to Main Street down to 37th Avenue, back up Main Street to 40th Avenue, then east to Stinson Boulevard. They then turn north on 40th and Stinson and follow Stinson up to 43rd and Benjamin, up Benjamin to 45th Avenue, up Chatham Road to Fairway Dr. and then they return to 40th and Stinson, then move west on 40th to Jefferson. They then proceed North on Jefferson to 44th Avenue West to Main Street. They plow east on 44th to Reservoir Boulevard to 37th and Central, back up Reservoir Boulevard, around Keyes Park to 46th, down 46th to Fillmore, North on Fillmore to 49th, and return to 44th and Reservoir, turning east on 44th Avenue to Arthur, down Arthur to 39th Avenue and Hart Boulevard, down Hart Boulevard to 37th and then return on the same route to 44th and Arthur. They then go up Arthur to 45th Avenue, east on 45th to Stinson, down Stinson to Silver Lake Beach, back up Stinson to 45th and back 45th to 44th and Reservoir Boulevard, then down 44th Avenue to Jefferson (starting point). They then move to 45th, doing 45th from University to McLeod, McLeod to Reservoir Blvd., and then back to the starting point. They then proceed North on Jefferson to 49th Avenue. They then go to 49th Avenue and plow from University up to Sfinson, down Stinson to 45th and then back 49th Avenue to the starting point. They then move North on Jefferson to 51st and plow 51st Avenue from Central to University. From 52nd Avenue they start working their way south on all avenues. They then assist some other areas if needed. Quadrants Four truck plows - each has his own quadrant each time. Quadrant #1. This area is from 37th Avenue to 45th Avenue from Main Street to Central Avenue. In this quadrant we have two main arterials we open up fkst. They are the University Avenue Service Road and Jefferson Street. The operator in this area will plow Jefferson and the Service Road before he plows any other streets or avenues. When these two streets have been plowed, the operator will start plowing on 37th Avenue and Van Buren Street going north and working in a westerly direction. Usually when the operator reaches University Avenue, one of -5- the other Plows from a different quadrant is finished and will help to finish the area west of University Avenue. Alternate starting points are used each time. Note: We share the responsibility of plowing 37th Avenue from Stinson Boulevard to Main Street with the City of Minneapolis. 37th Ave. is divided into two segments - (1) Main St. to Central Ave. and (2) Central Ave. to Stinson Blvd. Per agreement, we alternate segments each year. The agreement period is October 1st to October 1st. For 1994-95 Columbia Heights maintains Stinson Blvd. to Central Ave. Quadrant #2. This area includes University Avenue to Central from 45th Avenue to 53rd Avenue exclusive of the City of Hilltop. Again, this quadrant has two main arterials to be plowed first, that being Jefferson Street and the University Avenue Service Road. The operator in this quadrant will start on the west end one time and the east end another time in order to equalize the complaint of always being plowed last. Again, when the operator has finished or another operator has finished his area, they will combine to finish whatever area is not completed. Alternate starting points may be used each time. ,Quadrant #3. This area includes 37th Avenue to 45th Avenue between Central Avenue and Stinson Blvd. In this area the plow starts plowing Tyler Street fi:om 37th North and then works avenues from 37th to 44th. Then streets easterly to Stinson Boulevard. When this has been accomplished, the plow will work the streets between Central Avenue and Reservoir Boulevard. Alternate starting points may be used each time. Note: We share the responsibilky of plowing 37th Avenue from Stinson Boulevard to Main Street with the City of Minneapolis. 37th Ave. is divided into two segments - (1) Main St. to Central Ave. and (2) Central Ave. to Stinson Blvd. Per agreement, we alternate segments each year. The agreement period is October 1st to October 1st. For 1994-95 Columbia Heights maintains Stinson Blvd. to Centrat Ave. Quadrant #4: This area includes 45th to 51-1/2 Avenues from Central to Stinson. We will either plow Mathaire Addition or Sheffield Addition, depending on the time of day and the number of cars that could be in the Sheffield Addition. Whichever way, we will pick up the Hilltop Addition and the Innsbruck Addition. Alternate starting points may be used each time. Alleys The alley "V" plow is pushed by a dump truck. This plow usually starts on the west side of town being California Street to University Avenue, 37th to 45th Avenue and works its way east. Alternate starting points may be used. Equipment problems may require the use of 4-wheel drive vehicles to clear alleys, as last resort. Dead-end alleys and cul-de-sacs The 4-wheel drive vehicle operators each receive a map showing all the cul-de-sacs, dead end alleys, and hard-to-get places to do. When each operator has their own designated areas f'mished, they wilt check with the other operators and will help each other finish plowing where needed. They may assist the "V" plow in finishing his alley routes if assigned by the Superintendent. -6- Parking lots The actual plow route for #7 front end loader and #104 backhoe with plow is as follows: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. M.S.C. Area (includes SACA driveway) Administration Building, Police & Fire lots JPM lot on Mill Street Library Van Buren lot south of 40th #3 Liquor JPM rear lot, then wherever needed, (i.e., other lots, intersections, drifted areas, etc.), priority mainly depends upon the amount of snowfall. SNOW REMOVAL Certain actions and areas were designated by the City Council on January 11, 1982, and amended from time to time, for services. These services are shown on the attached drawing #1. They specifically point out services other than normal street plowing and sanding that the City will perform. When accumulated piles of snow in the business areas, around schools, churches and public buildings indicate hazardous conditions, the Street Dept. begins loading and hauling to storage areas. Snow is to be hauled for storage to 1) Huset Park East Quincy parking lot, 2) Huset Park East Jefferson lot, and 3) Silver Lake Beach parking lot. Snow Removal at Library A. Parking Lot The Library parking lot will be cleared in accordance with the priorities established in this policy. the lot will be cleared in conjunction with the other municipal lots after snow removal has been completed on the streets, Police and Fire areas and the pump and lift station accesses. B. Sidewalks During the work week, Public Works will remove snow from the sidewalks and entrances to the Library before the Library opens whenever possible. If necessary in the afternoon, the sidewalk snow removal will be done by personnel employed by the Library under the School Work Program if available. The weekend duty person will be responsible for clearing snow from the sidewalks and entrances before opening of the Library on Saturday mornings. Library personnel are responsible for snow clearing on Saturdays after opening and, if conditions warrant, may call out the weekend duty person for assistance. In most cases, the School Work Program employee will be responsible for clearing snow from the stairwells. -7- ICE CONTROL When there is any accumulation of snow or ice, it normally is necessary to sand streets. This function begins when reports from the police indicate that slippery conditions exist. On weekends and evenings the duty person is called by the Police or County Central Dispatcher. The duty person organizes the sanding operation based on the Superintendent's standing instructions. Sand and salt is ordered and mixed in controlled quantities as we use k to avoid excessive surplus stored through the balance of the year. The quality of the material is affected by long storage. Usually 250 tons of sand and 50 ton of salt are mixed at a time (5 to 1 ratio). Busy intersections, hills, emergency routes are given priorities. Police reports of slippery conditions are also considered. Salt sand will be furnished for residents in the designated area behind the Municipal Service Center outside the Recycling Center. As we approach the end of the winter season, the Public Works Department concentrates on exposing catch basins in critical areas where early runoff may cause serious damage. Storm drains are inspected for freezing. Some steam thawing and chemical treatment may be necessary. PLOWING/SANDING INFORMATION 1. 3 1/2" ACCUMULATION REQUIRED BEFORE EMERGENCY CALL-OUT 2.

As requested, Councilmembers Nawrocki and Jolly attended a recent School Board meeting where this item was discussed. Results of that meeting will be presented at the November 14, 1994, City Council meeting. cb Attachment DATE: TO: FROM: RE: JULY 15, .1994 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PAT HENTGES CITY MANAGER FINANCE DIRECTOR CHANGES TO ELECTION DATES New legislation passed in May 1994 and effective August 1, 1994, states that all cities (including charter cities) must hold primary, general and special elections on certain dates and prescribes uniform filing, publication posting and voting hours, as well as a transition schedule for changing election dates. City and school district primary elections must be held on the first Tuesday after the second Monday in September. The general elections must be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Filing dates are now not more than 70 nor less than 56 days before the primary election. We must be in compliance with this law by January 1, 1998. Cities may still hold elections in odd or even years. Those cities that decide to move local elections to even-numbered years prior to January 1, 1995, must follow a transition schedule to select by lot officials whose terms will expire in three and five years. This would apply to newly elected officials in 1995 and 1997. Current members' terms would not be affected. After that date, cities changing the date of elections to even-numbered years may adopt a plan to have half the councitmembers' terms expire in three years, half in five years. Discussions with Jeff Sigurdson at the Secretary of State's office on July 14, 1994, confirm that this law does apply to us, and we must be in compliance by January 1, 1998. At this time, Blaine, Fridley and Spring Lake Park have even-year elections and Coon Rapids is currently reviewing it and anticipates making the change. Going to even-year elections would save the City in excess of $20,000 every odd year. I recommend changing the filing and primary dates for the 1995 City election.

WE:dn 9407151 Attachments: Excerpt, State Statutes Excerpt, Ballot Bulletin MINNESOTA BALLOT BULLETIN b~llots correctly and election officials wanting to give everyone the opportunity to cast their ballots was evident. For all intents and purposes, the election went remarkably well. The most common question I'm asked is, did I feel safe? All the news reports showed the violence that was occurring. I had bought a t-shirt from the ANC headquar- ters in Johannesburg just two days before the car bomb- ing there killed 9 people. Smaller bombs exploded outside our hotels in provincial cities. We were lectured daily by U.N. officials about safety precautions and not taking any dsks. We discarded our official U.N. caps and vests when stationed in pro-apartheid, anti-election ar- eas. Bochum Township was all black and very heavily in support of the ANC. Our ddver indicated that it was safe enough to sleep outdoors. ! smile when I think of his wish that there be only one party, because "then there would be no fighting." Overall, the experience was exciting, overwhelming and certainly more than I bargained for. I attended a gathering at the ambassador's residence 'on the last evening, and he said "our two countries, the United States and South Africa, have much to learn from each other." I was sent to observe a fair and open process and I returned with a greater respect for the process. We take our dght to participate and our dght to vote too much for granted in this country. People in South Afdca had liter- ally died for the fight to vote, and it's a good reminder for all of us. IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIFORM ELECTION DAY LAW During the last session, the legislature enacted a law establishing a uniform election schedule and providing uniform election procedures for local elections. A sum- mary of the taw follows. 1. Applicability: The law, in whole or in part, applies to the elections of all municipalities, school dis- tricts and special districts in Minnesota. The scheduling of special elections of municipalities, school districts and special districts is not affected by this law. .2. General Elections: Effective January 1, 1998, the general election of every city, school district and special district must be held on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. Effective August 1, 1994, townships located in the metropolitan area may choose to hold their general election in November, sub- ject to the approval of the voters. 3. Primary Elections: Effective January 1, 1998, the primary election of every city and school district (where applicable) must be held on the Tuesday follow- {rig the second Monday in September immediately pre- ceding the general election, 4. Election Schedule: By January 1, 1995, the governing body of every city, school district and special district must decide to conduct its general elections in either the odd-numbered years or the even-numbered years. The governing body may choose at a later date to change from odd-year elections to even-year elec- tions, and vice versa. (Under existing law, cities may change the dates of their elections by ordinance passed by June 1 of any year.) 5. Terms of Office: Effective August 1, 1994, the term of office of all township officers elected at a gen- eral election conducted in November is four years. Ef- fective January 1, 1995, the term of office of all members of school boards elected thereafter is four years. 6. Filing for Office: Effective August 1, 1994, the filing period for all cities having a primary election be- gins 70 days before the pdmary and ends 56 days be- fore the primary. (Note: in even-numbered years, this is the same as the filing period for state, federal and county candidates.) The filing pedod for titles that do not have a primary and for township offices elected in November begins 70 days before the general election and ends 56 days before the general election. The fil- ing period for township offices elected in March begins eight weeks before the election and ends six weeks be- fore the election. Effective in 1996, the filing pedod for soil and water conservation districts will begin 70 days before the state pdmary and end 56 days before the state pr- mary. The filing officer will be the county auditor. Effective January 1, 1998, the filing period for all school districts having a primary will begin 70 days before the primary and end 56 days before the primary. The filing period for school districts that do not have a pdmary - will begin 70 days before the general election and end 56 days before the general election. 7. Notice of Election: Effective August 1, 1994, the municipal clerk in every city of the first, second and third class and of every township located in the metro- politan area must publish a notice of election during the two weeks preceding the municipal elections. The mu- nicipal clerks of fourth class cities and of all townships located Outside the metropolitan area may either pub- lish the notice of election during the two weeks before the municipal election or post the notice during the ten days before the municipal election. 8. Sample Ballots: Effective August 1, 1994, the municipal clerk of every city of the first, second and third class and of every township located in the metro- politan area must publish a sample ballot at least one week before the municipal elections. MINNESOTA BALLOT BULLETIN 9. Vqting Hours: Effective August 1, 1994, all polling places must be open for voting in municipal and school distdct elections from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. The governing body of the municipality or school district may adopt longer voting hours. 10. Optical Scan Ballots: Effective August 1, 1994, all optical scan ballots must be on white stock. 11. Transition schedule to elections in even- numbered years: 1995 January, 1999 (1/1 council or board) January, 2001 (1/2 council or board) 1996 January, 2001 1997 January, 2001 (~,~ council or board) January, 2003 (1/~ council or board) 1998 January, 2003 12. Transition schedule to elections in odd- numbered years: 1996 January, 2000 (~//council or board) January, 2002 (1.~ council or board) 1997 January, 2002 1998 January, 2002 (~//council or board) January, 2004 (~/~ council or board) 1999 January, 2004 13. Staggering'Terms for Members of Governing Bodies: Effective January 1, 1995, the governing body of every city, school district and special district that is either moving the general election to November or changing from the odd to the even-numbered years (or vice versa) must select by lot the members of the governing body to be elected in each year, as indicated by the appropriate transition schedule. To the extent practicable, one-half of the members of the goveming body are to be elected at each biennial general election. The selection must be completed by the governing body no later than 30 days before the first day to file affidavits of candidacy for the offices affected. Secretary Growe strongly encourages all municipal and school distdct election officials to meet with their county auditors to discuss a coordinated strategy for moving to the November election schedule. "One of the goals of this legislation was to improve the efficiency of election administration by holding local elections on the same date, during the same hours and at the same place", Growe said. "To make this happen, it is important that local officials work together to develop a common election schedule." "One alternative may be to hold all local elections with the state and county elections in the even-numbered years. This would eliminate the need for odd-year elec- tions entirely. Another alternative would be to hold all local elections in the odd numbered year, where the candi- dates would get greater public exposure. It is solely up to the local officials to make these decisions and the best decisions will occur as the result of close consultation with neighboring election jurisdictions," Growe said. COMBINED POLLING PLACES AUTHORIZED Effective August 1, 1994, a single polling place may be used for more than one precinct in the circumstances described below in item number 2. Please note that separate ballots must be used for each precinct voting in the polling place and a separate record of votes cast must be made for each precinct. Combined precincts, where the votes of several precincts are reported together, are no longer permitted in state elections. 1. Combined precincts will no longer be permitted. A single polling place may be established to serve the following combinations: a. a city of the third or fourth class; b. a township; c. a city with territory in more than one county; two contiguous municipal precincts with a combined total of fewer than 500 registered voters; or eo up to four contiguous municipalities outside the metropolitan area that are in the same congressional, legislative and county commissioner district. The precinct boundary freeze for redistricting purposes will begin on January 1, 2000. No precinct may be in more than one congression- al district. No precinct boundary changes may be made after June I of a state election year. o School districts designating a single polling place must notify the county auditor within 30 days after the polling place is established. The school distdct must notify all affected voters when the single polling place is established. 3 sanction, is =ne change results in having three counci~l members 2 tO be elected at a succeeding election, the two individuals 3 receiving the highest vote shall serve for terms of four years 4 and the individual receiving the t~trd highest number of votes 5 ~shall serve for a term of two years, To provide an orderly 6 transition to the odd or even year election plan, the governing 7 body of the city may adopt supplementary ordinances regulating 8 initial elections and officers to be chosen at the elections and 9 shortening or lengthening the terms of incumbents and those 10 elected at the initial election so as to conform as soon as 11 possible to the regular schedule provided in section 412.02, 12 subdivision 1, Whenever the time of the municipal election is 13 changed, the city clerk immediately shall notify in writing the 14 county audito~ and secretary of state of the change of date. 15 Thereafter the municipal general election shall be held on the !6 first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in each 17 odd-numbered or even-numbered year until the ordinance is revoked and notification of the change is made, 19 Sec. ?.

Also included is a special report on the fluorescent bulb collection of October 22, 1994. 3) ABLE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT/CHIES LOT DONATION OFFER Timothy Chies, on behalf of his parents, offered to donate the lot at 4250 McLeod Drive. The lot an is overgrown residential lot, that has in the past been subject to complaints. I don't see much use for the lot on the part of the City unless the adjacent property owners would be willing to purchase a portion of it or take responsibility for its maintenance. If you are interested in facilitating such a process, I will proceed ahead to accommodate Mr. Chies' request, subject to interest on the part of the two neighbors. 4) MHFA MORTGAGE PROGRAM Attached please find a report on the City's utilization of the MCPP Mortgage Program. I think the past year's usage, along with this year's status reveals that Columbia Heights, because of its home values, is attractive to first time home buyers. Typically these people are recently married and have very young children. As in previous years, Columbia Heights may use some of the unused funds from other cities. The City should look strongly at an organized marketing program aimed at attracting first time home buyers or young families to absorb the changeover in our housing stock. 5) JUSTICE DEPARTMENT--COPS FAST HIRING PROGRAM The Police Department recently received notification on a new version of the Federal Grant Program for the hiring of police officers. This program is similar to the federal program that the City is now under, but apparently is aimed at putting 100,000 new police officers on the street as quickly as possible. Essentially, there is a two part application that must be submitted to determine the local interest in the program, or alternatively to allocate what might be an excess level of funding. In that the City has officially allocated funding for a recent police officer selection, it cannot replace this already allocated local funding source with this new funding program. It is possible, however, that future police officer selections or unfunded replacements may have an opportunity to be funded through this program. The Mayor directed the Police Chief to forward the City's preliminary interest in the program to the U.S. Department of Justice. 6) SHEFFIELD TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN The Housing and Redevelopment Authority has been formally requested to begin the process to establish a tax increment financing district for the Sheffield Project. I have enclosed a copy of a resolution that the HRA will consider at its November 15th meeting, together with the timetable necessary to implement the plan. Also included is a tax increment cash flow schedule that reveals a $400,000 tax increment collection for the project. The schedule assumes a variety of issues that will be resolved during the approval process. I should note that under the new tax increment laws, the City will be subject to a $30,705 LGA/HACA penalty. This is the total amount of the penalty during the life of the district. The penalty can be offset with the 10% administrative charge. City staff is currently researching the possibility of approving the plan with a provision that accommodates special legislative approval to waive the HACA/LGA penalty. Last year, special legislation of this nature was approved in Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center. 7) LA BELLE EAST BANK EROSION PROJECT STATUS City staff is still experiencing difficulty in obtaining easements for the LaBelle East Bank improvements. The Soil Conservation Grant is due to expire at the end of the year. The City will have an opportunity to apply for additional funding in future years. 8) LA BELLE POND IMPROVEMENTS The LaBelle tertiary improvements are nearly completed. City staff will come back in the very near future with a report and a timetable on the bidding of the next phase of the improvements. 9) CLOVER POND/52ND AVENUE STORM DRAINAGE STATUS The contractor has mobilized and has started the project on the south end near Delores Strand's property. Mr. Winson will continue to monitor the project's progress and the neighbors' concerns. Mark has also negotiated a Change Order on the Clover Pond portion with the contractor and the adjacent property owners. The Change Order allows trenching of the pipe as opposed to the underground jacking. This could save as much as $10,000 to the project. 10) TENANT/RENTAL STATUS IN SHEFFIELD HRA Staff is working to obtain leases from two of the tenants to be relocated from the Sheffield target block. We did receive favorable response from the SHINE group about the relocations in lieu of rehabilitating the Way to Grow Home or one of the duplexes. I have offered to the Mayor and the Police Chief a suggestion made some time ago from a citizen. It was suggested that a duplex be rented or sold to a police officer as an incentive to live in the area. This concept was experimented in St. Paul and many other cities across the country. Essentially, greater police presence in the area would be provided through the comings and goings of the police officer and further magnified if take home squad cars were assigned. Of course, Highway Patrol cars are assigned under this basis and many sheriffs or smaller police departments do this in order to promote maintenance/upkeep from a single user, local neighborhood visibility, and as an incentive to live within the jurisdiction or city. I think such a concept should be examined seriously by the Police Department and the City Council, and may in fact have a result in limiting the need for as much police attention to the area.

MAW:jb 94-757 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS DATE: TO: FROM: RE: NOVEMBER 7, 1994 PATRICK HENTGES CITY MANAGER FINANCE DIRECTOR OPERATIONAL REPORT OCTOBER 1994 DEPARTMENTAL GOALS: 1995 BUDGET The 1995 budget process is progressing according to schedule. The public hearing for the 1995 budget is scheduled for November 30th at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. The notice of the meeting will be published in the November 22nd issue of the Focus. The County will be mailing the Truth in Taxation notices to residents on or about November 10th. 1995 ELECTION During the Primary election held on September 13th, the City of Columbia Heights and some other cities in Anoka County experienced malfunctions with election equipment. Since then, the County has replaced some computer chips in the voting machines. From the preliminary testing, it appears that this has eliminated the problems experienced during the Primary. With this, everything is on schedule for the November 8th General Election. t994 AUDIT Plans are proceeding on schedule for the preparation and preliminary work for the 1994 audit. WE:dn 9411072 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Mayor and City Council Members Leonard M. Olson, Acting Police Chief Operational Report, October, 1994 November 7, 1994 NOV ? i~4 MANAGER CITY OF COLUi~BtA HEIGHI8 I. Events/Accomplishments On October 5, our department firearms trainers provided training to remaining officers who had not attended an earlier training session with the new MP5 carbine. The training was well received and the weapon is currently stored in the supervisors' marked squad car. Future purchases of more weapons will place them in the 24-hour marked squad cars. Bo The Police Department provided traffic protection for our Senior High Homecoming parade. The parade was held on the afternoon of Friday, October 7. The young people paraded through Columbia Heights and made a pass around North Park Elementary School. It was a safe and enjoyable experience for them. I attended an informative training day on October 11, accompanied by several other department members. The day long session was hosted by the infamous ex-chief of police from Los Angeles, Daryl Gates. He was invited to present by the Anoka City chief of police, Andy Revering. The information was certainly interesting, and he carries stories that are unbelievable. Policing, as well as society's ills, as it was confirmed, is the same all over the country. II. Projects/Goals Ao Much to the surprise of many Anoka County police agencies, Coon Rapids has written and been granted another $50,000 to fund the county-wide A.T.A.C. program for 1995. The acronym stands for _Anoka T_.raffic A__ccident C_ountermeasures. The program has been renewed over the years by creative grant writers focusing on DWI and seat belt enforcement. We will again be participating when the program begins in late December. This particular grant was interesting because training participating officers was built into the structure. Prerequisites prior to working under the grant mandate officer training in two areas--one is the topic of "field sobriety testing" and the other is "seat belt usage". Mayor and City Council Members Page 2 November 7, 1994 gJ Co The administrative staff of the department met with the new City Attorney, Gregg Herrick, on October 20. The meeting was valuable time spent to plan for the smooth transition toward the changeover date of November 1. The new attorney's office staff have been handling formal criminal complaints as of October 1 in order to take over in a timely manner. Ideas and routines were exchanged, lending to the start of a new relationship. Do I attended the Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council meeting October 26, and one of the topics was the metro-wide curfew ordinance initiative. The County Attorney commented that there were some obstacles that have appeared. The thrust, as explained, was to not give youngsters the excuse of laws different from where they live to where they are stopped. Hennepin County passed an ordinance different from he draft that was circulating. I am not sure at this point where this issue will go. I will keep everyone posted. The League of Minnesota Cities put on the community oriented policing three-day seminar in St. Cloud. Several of our department members attended. The material was aimed at communities that are contemplating the programs. It was still a good review for the officers. III. Issues/Problems mo As a proactive measure, I continue with traffic enforcement assignments to specific shifts and specific officers. The assignments range from speeding to stops signs throughout the community. One area high on the list is the stop sign of 52nd Avenue and 7th Street. Residents' feedback is clear that they are appreciative. 94-321 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PUBLIC LIBRARY 820 - 40th AVEHUE r~'. ~.: COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, Mlq 5542'~ PHONE: (612) 7f;2-2805 FAX: (6'~ 2) 782-280.:~ CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS II.

The Mayor of St. Louis Park, Lyle Hanks, welcomed everyone. The guest speaker of the evening was Chris Gears, the Director of Parks and Recreation for St. Louis Park. He spoke on the need for humor to reduce job stress. His point is well taken, but his presentation could have been a little more tastefully executed. The most impressive portion of the program was the entertainment. Roland Wilson and a young black actress presented a mini-play" Daughters of Africa". The play took the audience through time, highlighting the lives of many famous black women of history. The performances were excellent. They certainly made one think about what role black women have had in the past and where they are heading for in the future. The focus was on everyone working together for a better life for each and everyone of us. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this group. Jeanine Schmidt On Thursday, October 20, '! attended the Fall Munici-Pals banquet at the Sheraton Park Place located in St. Louis Park. The banquet started with a short business meeting followed by dinner. After dinner'there was a welcoming by the Mayor of St. Louis Park, Lyie Hanks. Our guest speaker for the evening was Cris Gears. Cris is the Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of St. Louis Park. His theme for the evening was on keeping the atmosphere at your workplace "light". ! agree that a little humor is a necessary part of life, but you have to know when and how to use it. I think that keeping a situation light can be obtained in good taste without offending a co-worker or a patron. The entertainment for the evening was, in my opinion, just fantastic. Roland Wilson, a renowned pianist, presented "The Daughters of Africa". He played the piano while a young actress took us back in time to visit some of the famous African-American women of our time. She portrayed such famous women as Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Lena Home, and Billie Holiday among many others. It was really an entertaining performance. As of this time there were no arrangements made for the Spring Munici-pals banquet, but I look forward to upcoming information on this.

To: From: Date: For: Patrick Hentges, City Manager Jean Kuehn, Special Projects Nov. 4, 1994 City Manager's Report REFUSE AND RECYCLING At the Anoka County Solid Waste Abatement Advisory Task Force (SWAATF) meeting of Nov 2, a representative of the Office of Environmental Assistance discussed the State ban on Oil Filters. Effective Jan. 1, 1995 "oil filters may NOT be disposed of in solid waste under any circumstances". The MPCA prepared and distributed a listing of haulers that will collect used oil filters from large generators or from central collection points. The MPCA did not have any plan for the individual resident to dispose of their used oil filters. Currently, several service stations in our area will accept filters--for a fee of $1.00 -1.50 per filter. The Coon Rapids Recycling Center does accept Oil Filters at no charge. The cost of disposal is a reimbursable expense under the SCORE funding rules. Collecting Oil Filters would require special care, handling and containment, but could be done at the Columbia Heights Recycling Center. Disposal cost is approximately $60 per barrel. Anoka County is considering a recommendation to terminate their lease agreement with Tree Tech and close the tree disposal site that is adjacent to the compost site. The County has received numerous complaints about the cost and inconsistent pricing at this lease site. Staff has found several other private companies that offer comparable services at lower prices, with no subsidy from the County. STAFFING OF THE RECYCLING CENTER The local Kiwanis groups are committed to serving the youth of Columbia Heights and need to raise funds to accomplish their goals. They view the time they spend at the Recycling Center as both fund raising and community service. They would like a financial guarantee of at least minimum wage for the time they work at the Center, approximately $1,000 per club per year. If the City chose to donate/pay/this amount to the Kiwanis, this would also be a reimbursable expense for operation of our recycling center. If the City feels they cannot fund the Kiwanis, they will not continue to staff the recycling center as of Jan 1, 1995. The Kiwanis have been a stable, reliable resource in the staffing of our Recycling Center and to replace them would cost at least as much as what they are requesting. SCORE FUNDING In 1993 Columbia Heights was eligible for $58,649.00 of SCORE funds. We submitted reimbursement requestS totaling $32,498.40. Columbia Heights left $26,150.60 of their allotted funds unspent. These monies were redistributed to other cities that subsidize their recycling expenses and have made significant improvements to their recycling centers, and who pay community groups for working at their recycling centers. Our 1994 SCORE fund allotment for Columbia Heights is $64,624.09. In July's report, I submitted a fund reimbursement request for the first half of 1994 for $23,576.51. If second half of 1994 reimbursement is a like amount for a total of $47,153.02 that would still leave $17,471.07 in unspent, unclaimed funds for Columbia Heights. For City Manager Report RECYCLING Attached is a report on the Collection of Fluorescent Bulbs that was held on Sat. Oct 22 at the Columbia Heights Recycling Center. Residents were very pleased to have this collection and even though the weather was miserable 216 vehicles brought in 2184 bulbs. Many of the small businesses in the area participated, as did several churches that had recently re-lamped. REPORT ON THE FLUORESCENT BULB COLLECTION OF OCTOBER 22, 1994 The Collection was held at the Columbia Heights Recycling Center. The Kiwanis staffed the center as usual and Lisa Campbell (Fridley Recycling Coordinator) and Jean Kuehn (Columbia Heights Coordinator) handled all the fluorescent bulbs. The transport company also provided the driver who did the packing of the bulbs into the boxes. It was critical to have a bulb packer so that this was not left to the end of the event when it would have been very tedious and time consuming. The collection ran from 9 AM to 1 PM and 2,184 bulbs were collected. Columbia Heights 1,255 Fridley 715 Spring Lake. Park 109 Minneapolis 32 New Hope 13 Plymouth 16 St. Anthony 17 Brooklyn Park 16 Crystal 11 Total 2,184 Bulbs 216 cars were counted for the fluorescent bulb collection PUBLICITY: NSP ran an ad in the local papers-Focus and the Northeaster. The editor of the local paper also wrote an article. NSP submitted that ad to me for approval since we were the host city.. HOWEVER, what they did NOT submit to me or even inform me of, was the ad that ran in the Thursday, Mpls. Star Tribune telling of two events at NSP facilities-one near the capitol in St. Paul and the other in Newport, near Hastings. Neither, are very convenient locations for most residents of Mpls. Included in this ad was a phone number and from what the individuals who came from outside Anoka County said, they called that number and were told to come to Columbia Heights for our collection. NSP also included a "stuffer" with a recent bill that indicated small businesses were welcome as long as they generate no more than 10 bulbs per year. Many small(?) businesses came with more than 10 bulbs-- they had saved them for 4 years and had 40 bulbs. The bulbs were accepted since they were all local addresses. Since I had no knowledge of these additional publicity pieces and there was no NSP representative on hand, we decided to accept all the bulbs that were presented to us. QUESTIONS: What are you going to do with the bulbs? How are they recycled? When is the next collection? Are you going to do this every month? What about regular light bulbs? Where is this company located? Also, many other questions regarding recycling, auto fluid disposal and compost collection. It was very good to have individuals on hand who knew this information. Overall, the collection was a success in that many fluorescent bulbs were collected. If another collection is to be held, I would have NSP supply the workers, since they are, under State mandate, responsible for the collection. I would act in a purely advisory capacity.

Sincerely, Cities President 9920 ZILLA STREET NORTHWEST · COON RAPIDS, MINNESOTA 55433 · (612) 754-0743 MINNESOTA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY Date: November 3, 1994 To: Participating Cities and Lenders, The 1994 Minnesota City Participation Program From: Subject: Michael Haley Director of Home Mortgage Programs NOV ? 1994 MCPP Update 94-9; Set-Aside Expiration, MCPP Usage Report SET-ASIDE EXPIRATION M AN A:G ER ,,~ CiTY OF C~[.UM~,L~ HEIGHTS Participating cities and lenders are reminded that individual city set-asides will expire on November 7, 1994. As of Tuesday, November 8, 1994, participating lenders from all cities participating in the MCPP may reserve mortgage loans from a single, statewide pool as long as funds allocated to this program remain or until January 8, 1995, which ever is earlier. The expiration of individual set-asides and the combination of these funds into a single, statewide pool does not affect any other MCPP guidelines, procedures or limitations. Participating MCPP lenders remain limited to originations for the city or cities for which they have been specifically authorized. The pool collapse does not allow lenders to expand MCPP loan activity outside of their authorized city (or county, if applicable) limits, and does not affect a change to any unique program guidelines specified by the sponsoring city (e.g., if your program is limited to existing housing you cannot begin to originate new construction). The only practical effect of the November 8th pool collapse is to allow those cities/lenders that exhausted their original allocation to do additional MCPP originations. MCPP USAGE REPORT Attached to this update you will find a program-to-date usage report for the 1994 MCPP. Note that the "Balance Available" in the far-right column represents funds avai!ab!e in individual city pools (until the previously noted collapse occurs on November 8th). This figure is determined by subtracting the total of the "Committed" column from the "Allocation" column shown on the far left. Cities are reminded that under legislation passed last year, a city that does not use at least 50% of their allocation during the program term and at least $200,000 of their allocation in the calendar year in which the allocation is made available is not eligible to apply for an allocation of mortgage revenue bond authority during the following year. Thus, cities that have not met this threshold are encouraged to make an extra effort during the time that funds remain under the 1994 MCPP. The Agency is pleased to be able to continue to serve you under this program. If you have any suggestions or comments on how we can serve you better, please don't hesitate to contact Gene Aho at (612) 297-3129 if call from the Twin Cities Metropolitan area or 1-800-657-3802 if calling from Greater Minnesota. 400 Sibley Street, Suite 300, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 (612) 296-7608 Tetecopier (612) 296-8139 TDD (612) 297-2361 Equal Opportunity Housing and Equal Opportunity Employment 1994 MINNESOTA CITIES PARTICIPATION PROGRAM FUND USAGE UPDATE OCTOBER 31, 1994 CITY/COUNTY ALLOCATION COMMITTED BALANCE AVAILABLE '-~0ka '-- $~'87;i4'~' ' ] $368,242 $418,898 Audubon $250,000 $-0- $250,000 Austin $824,569 $746,120 $78,449 ~rnesvil'le $500,000 $231,742 $268,258 -~ttie :L&k~ .............. : ~50,000 ..... 8-0- $250,000 'Beitrami county .... $540;000 ....... $245,301 $294,699 'B'e~'~i ......................... ~24/~'~'0 .... $455,349 ..... $269,411 '~'rainerd ......................$500,000 $505,801 $-0- Brooklyn Center $I,099,04t $1,149,554 $-0- Brooklyn Park ............... $974,281 ~'0i1~867 $-0- Browns Vatley $250,000 $-0- $250,000 "B~f fa'!o ................................$787, i-~'o ........................ $649,137 ~'~8 ~ 003 '-~ie~Qa~ co~y -- ~-~'~'~0~0 - - $34,253 - $217,747 '-~iu'mbia Heights .......$849,521 $90:'756 $-0- Crystal $749,712 $970,183 $-0- Detroit Lakes $500,000 $437 978 "Bhw~'~'~ '~ $500,000 $167,393 $332,607 "B'0dge ~n~'~ .............. $7!2-;284 ' I $t42'178 ' ' $570,106 Douglas County $849,521 $963,404 $-0- Duluth $1,099,041 $1,122,132 $-0- Fergus Fa!ls $712,284 $511,659 $200,625 Fridtey --' $7~7;i-~0 ....... $657,924 $129,216 Gaylord .............. $432,000 G!encoe $600,000 $397,472 $202,528 -~iyndon ......... $50'0',-000 ......... $145,708 $354;292 Golden Valley $750,000 $79,857 $670,143 Granada $288,000 $-0- $288;000 Grant County $500,000 $79,863 $420,137 Hopki'~S .................. $7'~7~0 ......... $760,546 ...... $'0- -~afd Coun~'~ $450,000 $226,702 .... $223,298 Cat,s'on ....... $250,000 $-O- 'i';ie"oZ"'~h;-"~o~i~ ...... $250,000 S-0- $250,'000 .2 I CITY/CQUNTY 1 ALLOCATION COMMITTED BALANCE AVAILABLE :Mankato $625'000 $649,928 $-0- Maple Grove $500,000 . $344,457 $155,543 Maple Lake '~ $300,000 $74'~-847 ..... $225,153 Minnetonka ' $787,140 .............. $52,000 $735,140 Moorhead $849,521 $820,476 $29,045 N~w Hope $849,521 .$318,205 $531,316 New York Mills $250,000 $19,415 $230'585 Northfield ~ $405,000 $236,475 $168,525 Owatonna $706,046 $734,768 $-0- Perham ' $420,000 $183,108 $236,892 Pope County $500,000 $166,273 $333,727 Rice County $911,901 $680,228 $231,673 Richfield $974,281 $440,788 $533,493 R°bbinsdale $1,099,041 $1,116,378 $-0- Rochester $1,099,041 $t, 249,311 $-0- St. James : $684,587 $143,615 $540'972 Stevens Couhty $500,000 $286,282 $213,718 Swift County $250,000 $220,025 '" $29,975 Truman I $474,000 $-0- $474,000 Wheaton : $500,000 $-0- . . $500,000 Winsted $496,800 $-0- $496,800 Winthrop i $360,000 $31,800 ................ $328,200 Wright County $974~8i $1,090,552 ...... $-0- Washington, D.C. 20530 U. S. Department of Justice Office of the Associate Attorney General November 1, 1994 Dear Colleague: The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, signed into taw by President Clinton on September 13, created a federal-local law enforcement partnership and the opportunity to hire 100,000 new officers under the "Cops on the Beat" program. With community policing as its base, the program is intended to encourage the development of police-citizen cooperation to control crime, maintain order, and improve the quality of life in America. Attorney General Janet Reno has established the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) to expedite the hiring of new police officers and to implement community policing programs. The Department of Justice and the new COPS Office are pleased to announce the Funding Accelerated for Smaller Towns (COPS FAST) application. Through this new expedited grant approach, law enfor~ment agencies serving populations under 50,000 are eligible to quickly hire new offwers to participate in community policing. I am enclosing a fact sheet that describes COPS FAST in more detail. To apply for a share of these funds, you must re~ttrt! the enclosed applicaffon form and certif~ations to the COPS Office, b), December 31, 1994. We were plemsed to be able to abbreviate the application process, but in order to comply with Federal laws and regulations, we ~nust ask yon to examine and agree to the attached certifications. One of the goals of COPS FAST is to expedite and streamline the process of making funds available to law enforcement agencies. We will inform ~/ou of an authorized hiring level by February 1, 1995. Prior to final approval of your grant, we will ask for more information about your budget and a 2-page description of how your new officers will participate in community policing. If you need technical assistance to prepare your community policing plan, we will be happy to provide it. COPS FAST is one part ofa multi-faceted effort that will bring new officers and deputies to cities, counties, and towns throughout America. If you do not wish to participate in COPS FAST, other funding opportunities will be available for innovative community policing programs, equipment, overtime, and other needs. Electing to wait for other programs will not prejudice your funding opportunities under those programs. Si~nilarly, participating in COPS FAST will not prejudice your opportunity to participate in other programs. Announcements will be sent to you soon about these other programs. We have tried to distribute this announcement widely and if you received more than one copy of this announcement or if your agency does not meet all of the eligibility ~equirements for COPS FAST, please pass the information along to a colleague. For more infor~nation about this program please call the Crime Bill Response Center at 1-800-421-6770. We look forward to working with you in a productive partnership to fight crime in our country. Sincerely, _' /~~idl~~~ Associate Attorney General U.S Department of Justice L, U.S. Department of Justice U.S. Department of Justice Fact Sheet Community Oriented Policing Services Funding Accelerated for Smaller Towns (COPS FAST) for Populations under 50,000 Program Information The COPS FAST Application is one of several approaches developed by the Department of Justice under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to speed the deployment of new officers devoted to community policing on the streets and rural routes in this nation. As directed by Congress, the FAST Application dramatically simplifies the task of applying for a federal grant. The FAST Application may be used by jurisdic- tions with populations under 50,000, while the COPS AHEAD approach will expedite the hiring by agencies serving larger populations. Funding Provisions tZI The FAST Application -- a fill-in-the-blank, one page form -- will be available by November 1, 1994. The application will request basic identifying information about the agency, the number of police officers currently on the force and the number of new officers requested, basic financial information, and an agreement to abide by standard legal requirements. ~ Completed applications will be due to the COPS Of- fice by December 31, 1994. The COPS Office will in- form the agency of an authorized hiring level by February 1, 1995. Before funding may begin, jurisdictions desig- nated for funding will be required to submit necessary budget information and a brief, satisfactory description of community policing plans. Technical assistance with the development of policing plans will be provided to juris- dictions in need of such assistance. gl Up to $165 million in grants will bemade under COPS FAST to state, local and other public law enforce- ment agencies which serve populations under 50,000. If requests exceed the funds available, the mount or start- ing date of grants may be adjusted to accommodate de- mand. 121 Funding will begin once the FAST Application has been approved and the new officers have been sworn. Grants will be made for up to 75 percent of the total sal- ary and benefits of each officer over three years, up to a maximum of $75,000 per officer.. [J COPS grant funds must not be used to replace funds that eligible agencies otherwise would have devoted to future officer hiring. In other words, any hiring under the COPS program must be in addition to, and not in lieu of, previous hiring plans. U! In hiring new officers, agencies may not reduce the scope of their customary screening and training proce- dures, and must include community policing principles in their training curricula. In addition, to the extent practi- cable, COPS grant funds should be used to increase the representation of women and racial and ethnic minorities within the ranks of sworn officers. [J An award under COPS FAST will not affect the con- sideration of an agency's application for a grant under any other COPS program. An agency that received funding under COPS Phase I is eligible to receive additional fund- ing under COPS FAST.
