REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 28, 1994 PAGE 3 Some residents who currently conduct home based businesses indicated their support for the proposed ordinance. Councilmember Jolly felt to not place a maximum number of employees allowed with these home businesses would be an error as this has the potential for changing the residential nature of an area. Councilmember Nawrocki also felt the residential profile of a neighborhood could be destroyed if the ordinance is not more stringent. He suggested the ordinance may not be needed. Councilmember Jolly requested the ordinance be amended to delete "or persons" and "persons" in Section ~. The City Attorney spoke to the wisdom of not including a specific number of persons allowed. The maker and seconder of the motion to adopt did not accept the suggested amendment. Motion by Nawrocki to strike #6 from the ordinance. Motion dies for lack of a second.

ROLL CALL Jolly, Ruettimann, Peterson, Sturdevant - present Councitmember Nawrocki arrived at the hearing at 7:25 p.m. 2. PURPOSE~F MEETIM. G To consider adoption of the 1995 budget and establish tax levies. 3. PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION City Manager Hentges reviewed the calendar for the budget preparation. The last day to certify the levy to Anoka County is December 28, 1994. The tentative date to adopt the 1995 budget is December 12, 1994. The City Manager addressed the factors affecting the proposed City preliminary tax increase. The five factors are as follows: 1. The City now proposes to reduce by $33,466 the preliminary tax levy. 2. The City proposes to hold the le%~ increase to $25,000 over that which was levied in 1994. 3. The City will receive a $3!,391 reduction in area-wide tax (fiscal disparity). The net result will be a corresponding increase to the local share of the property tax bill. 4. Commercial and industrial values decreased slightly, thus shifting a greater burden on residential values. 5. Some residential property values increased thus those owner's statements will reflect significantly higher tax increases. Overall the property values remain stable. The City Manager's presentation included an ove~view of the 1995 proposed budget including revenue sources, average tax base and the market value composition of the tax base. He addressed budget issues which resulted in recommended revisions to the proposed budget as made by himself and staff. TRUTH IN TAXATION PUBLIC HEARING NOVEMBER 30, 1994 PAGE 2 0 Be With the use of graphs and charts, a comparison of 1995 to 1994 expenditures and revenues was done. The impact of a $25,000 increase in the tax levy on properties having the same value as in the previous year was reviewed. CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTIONS Resolutions were drafted to set the tax levy collectable for 1995 and to adopt the budget for 1995 The City Manager advised that the budget cannot be adopted at a Truth in Taxation Hearing or at the Continued Hearing. OUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Some LaBelle Condo owners stated their tax statement~ reflected a difference in the taxes on their garage spaces which are all identical. They questioned this disparity. The City Manager will contact the County Assessor regarding this matter and pass the explaination received onto LaBelle residents. A similar situation regarding garage space was expressed on behalf of University Heights property owners. They also receive two tax statements, one for the living space and another for the garage space. Their concern focused on being taxed as two separate entities when the garage space is attached to the living space. There was also a disparity among the tax amount for garage space although they are all identical. The City Manager will pursue an explanation for this situation from the County Assessor. A Sullivan Shores property owner felt she should be given a credit for that portion of property tax used for street maintenance. She noted that the Sullivan Shores development has private streets which are maintained and cared for by the Association. All costs for this work comes from Association fees. Examples were cited of circumstances where property owners pay taxes to support activities from which they receive no direct nor indirect benefit. Some of the examples included the School District for people who have no children, the public transportation subsidy for people who never use the bus and recreational opportunities not accessed by everyone. TRUTH IN TAXATION PUBLIC HEARING NOVEMBER 30, 1994 PAGE 3 She was advised property taxes are used on streets located outside of the development which she frequently uses~ Residents were advised that the appropriate place to discuss their property values is at the City's Board of Review Hearing which is traditionally held in the spring. Each property owner is sent a card early in the year with their proposed property value. This card also contains information regarding the dates and locations of the City's Board of Review and the County's Board of Equalization. Members of the City Council commended the City Manager and staff on meeting the goals set for this budget. CLOSING OF THE PUBLIC HEARING Motion by Ruettimann, second by Peterson to close the Truth in Taxation Public Hearing until the December 12, i994 meeting and that consideration of the budget be placed on the agenda of that meeting. Roll call: All ayes Mayor Joseph Sturdevant Jo-Anne Student, Council Secretary CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: DeceMber 12, 1994 AGENDA SECTION: OPEN MIKE ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: ~.~Tz MANAGER'S NO: 5 CITY MANAGER' S APPROVAL ITEM: SILVER ~,AKE REQUEST ~ BY: PAT HENTGES BY: ';~ ,<,'"{~. NO ~~~ DATE: 12 - 9 - 94 DATE :~' ~'~ Be advised that the Silver Lake Homeo~.ers Association will appear before the City Council at Open Mike to discuss the support of a 1992 petition to the Rice Creek Watershed District to conduct a water quality study of the Silver Lake watershed area. At this late date, we are still attempting to gather information from the City of St. Anthony and the RCWD concerning the status of the petition. I'm under the opinion that the City should proceed cautiously on any endorsement or approval of the petition. If the City approves the petition, it is possible that RCYD could move forward ~ith a study and determine the need for a project. Instead of funding the cost, the RCYD would likely attempt to assess the cost to the benefitting properties or area ~ithin the Watershed District, including the City of Columbia Heights. City staff will be meeting with the RCYD staff, St. Anthony, and New ~righton staffs later this month. COUNCIL ACTION: CFFY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Public Works Department TO: PATRICK iHENTGES C, ITY MANAGER PUBLIC WORKS DiRE~OR/CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: ST. ANTHONY PETiTiON TO P, CWD DATE: DECEMBER 9, I99,4 In F;ebrm~rv. !992, the Rice Cr~:~ek W~.~.tershed District (RCWD) r,c~.~, .,d a petition f~om tt~e City of St, Anthony flor protection and enhancement of Silver Lake. Tl'te petitio~ was filed under State Statute 103D,705 which would require the RCWD to do an engineer's report to determine tt~e fbasibility and costs of doing the project. If the project is found to be t:e~sible, the disU'ict would proceed with hearings and construction of the improvements. The cost for the improvements would be borne by the district if the hnprovements provide common benefit to the dbJtrict or by assessments to benefitted properties. The petitkm states that the project would provide a common benefit to the entire Dlstrlct and, therefore, should be paid 2)r out of tlxe District's Admhdsrrative Ftmd which is levied over the entire district, The statute further reCluires th:~t il; the proceedings are dismissed or a contract not let, the petitioner will reimburse tt~e district for all reaso~able costs incurred. It is my u~dcrstanding ttmt, due to the impending redevelopment of Apache Plaza and reconstruction of Silver Lt~ke Road, the Distr~ct and City of St. Anthony agreed to hold off on proceeding wh'h the petition process and do a study of water qt,tal[ty management activities that could be undertaken to 1,2duce phosphorus loading m the lake. The study was done and paid for by the District. The study identified potential pondtng sites and dNersion sci~emes to reduce phosphorus loading to the lake and concluded that the only feasible and cost eftkctive alternative was I:txe modiiScation of the '~dry" pond at the boat landing, (We have budgetect money to do this improx, ement in 1995.) At tl-~[s point, I dc> not believe that the RCWD has accepter[ the petition and suspect that the Silver Lake Homeowners and others may waist St. Anthony and/or New Bright:on and Columbia Heights to push the petition. At this point., if the St:. Antb~ony petition were accepted, only St. Ant[~.ony would be responsible for costs if the project docs not proceed to construction, ff a project is initiated and constructed, it is my ophdon that the RCWD wilt fi~d that the project should aot be funded from the Administrative Fund ~md th. eh attempt to assess the cost to the benefitted properties, which under the Statute would include most of the sout?~east comer of the City~ MAW:jb 94- 827 R~G£ CR E,.E.K ~TERSHED {~iSTRtcT FEITHON OF THE CITY Ol~ Fi', ANI~ONY TO ~ RICE CREEK WA~D DISTRICT ~ CON~TRUCTI(~4 O1~ SILVER L41¢E WATER ~,JALI'TY PROTECTION ~o~Iw.

Columbia Heights, Mn. 55421 Pat I-Ientges, City Manager' December 6, Dear Mr. Hentges: Enclosed is a copy of a petition to RCWD for a feasibility and diagno~'tic s~udy of Silver Lake. I would lika to see this brought to the Watershed district now while ~hey have a cle understanding of the probt~m we face with 3 seperate municipalities contributing to the storm water that flows into Silver Lake and very little factual iaformarior~ that could sugge~t what action each community needs to take to correct these pr~)b!em~ I have suggested to each municipality that we should ask the RCWD to fund the feasibility and diagnostic study and if the proceedings ate dismissed or if a construction eomtact is not awarded, the costs would be shared by the 3 municipalities based on the p~r coinage of acreage ia each community that actually drains into the Silver Lake Water:heel. I believe the Watershed would prefer to address this study in less formal manner than the PeiJ~ion. i The benefit of the petition is that it puts in place a fundit~g mechanism to c,orre~ the problems and aa I understand it defray the cost of the ~'tudy over the entire distri~ ! forward to discussing this matter wiih you further on Monday the 12th of December at 7 P. IvLI wilt be more than willing to ask our attorney to discuss with you or your legal representative the benefi~ of proceeding in !_bls manner. 2505 Silver Lane N.E.

WINSON PUBLIC WORKS DIRE~O~'CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: REDEVELOPMENT OF APACHE PLAZA SITE ~ ST. ANTHONY DATE: DECEM.BER 1, 1994 As you ~re aware, the City of St. Anthony, the Rice Creek Watershed District, potential d,,~.elc, l. era for the Apache Plaza site and the Silver Lake Homeowners Association have been im,'olved in a dispute as to the level of surface water treatment for drainage leaving the Apache Plaza site. The dispute centers on which set of regulations the developers will be held to in redeveloping this site. St. Anthony and developers have held that the site drainage plan approval should be based upon the RCWD regulations in effect when the plan was originally submitted some time ago. The Homeowners Association has expressed the opinion that the site approval should be based upon regulations that were recently approved and adopted by the RC~¥nD. The new regulations would essentially require the addition of more ponding and detention re'ea. The developers c. ontend that provision for the additional ponding would adversely affect the economics of redeveloping the site. It should be noted that the old regulations do require ponding and detention but at a lesser level than the new regulations. Approximately two months ago the drainage plan approvat was discussed by the RCWD and consequently tabled while the RCWD attorney investigated which set of regulations the project should come under. Since that time the Homeowners Association has petitioned the Environmental Quality Board for the preparation of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. As background, typically this type of project would not require an EAW but under State Statute citizens can petition the EQB to investigate whether an EAW should be prep,'m~d. It is my understanding that the EQB designated St. Anthony as the responsible governmental unit to investigate the need for an EAW and to hold Public tlemSngs with regm'd to the requirement for an EAW. St. Anthony did hold a hearing m~d on November 29, 1994 passed a resolution stating that based upon the it~vestigation, there was not a need for the preparation of an EAW~ The pem,~t application was heard by the RCWD on November 30, 1994, and apparently was approved. At this time I am assuming that the permit was approved under the old regulations and that there may be additional stipulations on the pem~it. As I am able to obtain this i~:~fom~ation, I w~l forward it to you and the Council.

The 1994 maximum income eligibility level was set at $15,000. Attached is a resolution establishing 'the 1995 maximun*t income eligibility level at $15,600 to receive reduced ~nior citizen rates in 1995. This amount: was computed utilizing the same formula that has been used in prior years. The formula used is the maximum Social Security benefits for an individual 65 years old, plus 4% rounded to the next even $100 increment. For 1995, the maximum Social Security level for a 65 year old individual is $15,035. The 4% adjustment to this figure in the City's eligibility level allows for $565 i:n other income. The City Council. c~m at an5, formula or amount for income eligibility. The formula used here and in the past is equitable for the truly low income senior citizens, tf the City establishes the income eligibility guideli_ne at a higher level, more people will qualify. As more people qualify for reduced rates, the rates for non-qualifyi.ng people wilt have to be rai~d to ensure adequate revenue in fl~e utility fund. For several years, the number of seniors receiving the reduced rate has remained constant at approximately 200 residents.

Attached please find a resolution calling for a Public Hearing on the proposed establishment of tke Sheffield Tax Increment Financing District and adoption of the TiF plan relating thereto. The hearing is proposed to be conducted on Monday, January 23, 1995, at approximately ? P.M. The TIF plan encompasses approximately 54 properties within the Sheffield neighborhood. They include not only properties on the redevelopment block located on the 4600 block between Pierce and Fillmore Street, but properties across the street properties and other scattered site properties within the neighborhood. The plan will include a provision to expand the District to include other sub-standard scattered site properties throu~;hout the City. As I reported earlier, this is a redevelopment district, and um. der the current TIF laws, there is a $30,000 penalty to the City's HACA/LGA intergovernmental aids. Councilmember Nawrocki and myself met with Publicorp officials to inquire of their assistance to seek special legislation exempting the TIF District from the HACA/LGA penalty. Prior to its presentation in the I~95 legislative session, Pubiicorp will be preparing a packet of information for the City's review and approval, Ultimately, the proposed TIF plan could result in excess of $400,000 of revenue for the Sheffield project and pave the way for a potential scattered site housi<ag program similar to that which is operated in Richfield.

CITY COUNCIL LETTER F. eettng of: November 2~, I~4 AGENDA SECTION: NE; BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPARTEENT: CITY F~NAGEE'S NO: 9 CITY MANAGER ~ S APPROVAL ITEM: ESTABLISH SHEFFIELD TIF DISTRICT BY: PAT HENTGES BY: ~~ NO: ~, ~ DATE: 1!-22-~4 DATE: The HP~, at their last regular meeting, passed a resolution requesting ~hat the City Council call for a Public Hearins on the establishment of the Sheffield Tax Increment District. The attached cash flow schedule prepared by Publicorp, Inc. reveals that $400,000 of tax increment can be collected through the year 2009. The schedule assumes a variety of issues =hat rill need to be resolved during the approval process. Please note under the new tax increment laws, the City wi1! be subject to a $30,705 LGA/HACA penalty, This is the total amount of the penalty during the life of the tax increment district. The penalty can be offset with a 10X administrative charge against the tax Lucrements. City staff will be meeting with Pub!icorp officials in the very near future to research the possibility of approving the plan with the provision that it accommodates special legislation to waive the LGA/HACA penalty. Last year, special legislation of ~his nature was approved for Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center. ~nother feature of the TiF Plan (still under research) could include provisions for a scattered site tax increment program. Under this concept, properties would be identified throughout the City and could be eligible for voluntary acquisition over a five year period %hrou~h the Community Development Block Grant Program. Eiohfield ks usinE a similar process to acquire and redevelop substandard properties. As these properties are acquired, demolished, and resold for private construction, the tax increment would be accumulated on the property~ The tax increment dollars from the new structure would go back into a revolving pool to recapture the CDBG investment and utillze it for further housing needs~ Further details ~iil be developed on this concept as details of the TIF plan are finalized.

America 3800 N.E. 5th Street Columbia Heights, Mn. Don Schneider presented the request of Joe Burns and T.C. America for a lotsplit of the property located at 3800 N.E. 5th Street~ He stated that the request is an ,m~endment of an earlier lotsplit in order 'to have the new lot line correspond w~th an existing fence. Mr. Burns was not in attendance nor was there any representative of ]7.C. America in attendance to answer any questions. The Commission was unclear where the fence in question was located on the survey submitted by Mr. Burns. The area to be affected by the lotsplit was not clearly indicated on the survey. Attorney Hoeft also stated that the Commission should be certain that setbacks would not be affected by the lotspllt and proposed new lot line. Council Representative Peterson felt that, as the survey was dated July 2~5 1994, there was not any hurry to receive this approval and that the case should be tabled until the next meeting for clarification of questions before making a recommendation. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Paulson, to table this lotsplit request until the January Planning and Zoning Commission meeting due to lack of information. Relt Call: All Ayes. B. Publlc Hearing Lotsp[it/'Variance Case #9412-52 Doris E. Berg 1814 N.E. 4t. st Avenue Columbia Heights, Mn. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1994 PAGE 2 Mr. Schneider presented the request of Doris Berg for a lotsplit of the prc~perty located at 181.4 N.E. 41st Avenue legally described as the North 180 feet of Lot 4~ Bk~ck 17, Auditors Subdivision of Waltons 2nd Subdivision, Anoka County, Minnesota. He e~:ptalned that the property would be divided into two lots. The front footage of the total parcel is 109.7 feet. The proposed lot frontages would be 54 feet and 55.7 feet requ~rlng a variance. The required minimum lot width in the R-2 Zoning District is 60 feet. Fifty-four feet is 90% of the 60 feet or the minimum allowed in order to be considered for a Iotsplit under Section 9.407(2) of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Schneider also stated that a variance would be required o:n the width of 'i:he proposed lots as they do not meet the required frontage in the R-2 Zone. He quoted Section 9.105(3)(d) of the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the requirements for approval of a variance. He informed the Commission that it was the opinion of Staff that no hardship would exist in order to recommend approval of the variance request. Jack Halverson, real estate representative for Ms. Berg, stated that the existing house and topography of the hill ~orces the driveway to be where it is with the need for an easement. It was his feeling that would constitute a hardship as there would be no other way to split the tot. He felt the Iotsplit and variance approval would be a positive move for the City to have a new house on the adjacent tot. Commissioner Paulson inquired about the easement for the driveway across the proposed new tot. It was his opinion that this easement would further decrease the use of the lot and make it even more non-conforming. He felt there clearly is no evident hardship. Ernest Woodfill of 182~ N.E. 40th Avenue wondered whey the City would want to allow the creation of two non-conforming lots made even more non-conforming by the easement. Ken Koch of 4042 Arthur Street was in attendance to inquire what the plans would be for the new lot. Mary Larson of 4041 Hayes Street was present to state that the deceased former owner/occupant of the house always liked large open areas for gardens, etc. and to keep neighbors from being too close. She felt that the person selling the property has no concern as she does not live there and once the lot is split, wilt be long gone~ Motion by Paulson, seconded by Fowler, to deny the lotsplit and the variance request as no hardship is evident as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Rotl Call: Ail Ayes. Public Hearing Conditional Use Permit Case #9412-53 Teddy Bear Preschool 1555 N.E. 40th Avenue Columbia Heights, Mn. Don Schneider informed the Commission that Vi Waite, representing the Teddy Bear Preschool, has submitted a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of a preschool in the existing First Lutheran Church at ~.555 N.E. 40th Avenue. He stated that the daycare would consist of two three-hour classes; therefore, no outside play area would be PLA N NING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES DECEMBER 6, 1994 PAGE 3 required. There are also no abutting "R'~ lots and no common private property lines. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Paulson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow the operation of the Teddy Bear Preschool at 1555 N.E. 40th Avenue. Roll Call: Alt Ayes. **THIS ITEM TO APPEAR ON THE DECEMBER 12, 1994 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA~ Public Hearing Variance Case #9412-54 Gerald Koschney d/b/a Dons Car Wash 4423 Central Avenue Mr. Schneider presented the request of Gerald Koschney for a variance to allow additional signage of 106 square feet on the building located at 4423 Central AYenue. He informed the Commission that this property is located in the Retail Business District which allows signage of two times the front footage of the building. This building has 32 lineal feet of frontage on Central Avenue. Therefore, a total of 64 square feet would be allowed on the property. Mr. Schneider informed the Commission that there is 'permanent signage of 53 square feet in the form of a pylon sign. Additional signage stating prices and hours of operation are located on a pole just off the front corner (s.w.) of tt~e building. There are also additional signs stating types of prices for available services located in the rear of the property. The additional signage exceeds the remaining eleven (1.1) square feet of allowed signage, therefore, any further signage would be in excess of that allowed by the Sign Ordim~,nce. Mr. Schneider directed the Commission's attention to the agenda and minutes from the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of August 4, 1987 where a request for additional signage was denied due to lack of a hardship. He stated that a hardship, as required by the Zoning Ordinance, still does not exist in order to recommend approval of the variance request. John Reiter, of Arrow Sign Company, was present along with Mr. Koschney. Mr. Reider felt that the Sign Ordinance contained general criteria and was developed not with this building in mind. He stated that having the garage door at the front of the building was not very aesthetic and did not provide the nice frontage as a typical retail building would have. He stated that the reason for installing the lighted awning on the building was to light up the entrance, to make the building more visible, to keep water off of the cars as they exit the car wash and because the existing is deteriorating and needs replacing. Mr. Reiter felt that the Sign Ordinance helped the businesses with the larger tots and hurt the businesses with the smaller lots. Discussion 'was held regarding Mr. Koschney's use of directional signs. Section 9.1!7A(5) of the Sign Ordinance exempts directional signs from having a permit and altows no more than two such signs no more than ten square feet each. It was stated that Mr. Koschney could install the lighted aw,~ing on his building and eliminate the letters as proposed. His other allernative would be to eliminate the pylon sign a~d put all his signage on the building. PLANNING AND ZON!NG COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING - MIN'UTES DECEMBER 6, 1994 PAGE 4 Commissioner Szurek felt that no hardship was evident to recommend approval of the variance. She also stated that the reason for granting the variance on the placement of the pylon sign in 1987 was due to impeding traffic circulation if the sign was placed where it was required. It would have been in the middle of the driveway. She stated fa,,roring the use of bt~ilding signage rather ~han the use of pylon signs. Commissioner Paulson stated that the Sign Ordinance provided consister.:,t conformity of signage throughout the City. tf there were not regulations on amounts of signage allowed for display, the city would look like the Las Vegas Strip. He also favored the use of building signage rather than The use of pylon or freestanding signs. Council Representative Peterson felt that a lighted awning would be very attractive, He stated that if Mr. Koschney would like to eliminate the pylon sign, building signage co'uld be allowed within the perimeters of the Sign Ordinance. However, he did not think the elimination of the pylon sign would be a disadvantage in this case as it is an important factor, for visibility given the type and location of the building on the lot. Motion by Paulson, seconded by Fowler to deny the variance request on signage for 4423 Central Avenue due to !ack of a hardship. Roll Call: Ail Ayes. Motion by Peterson, seconded by Fowler, to adjourn the meeting at 8:20 p.m. Roll Call: Att Ayes.

Legaf n.~T~e cf Pe~o~, Firm or Corporation (Signature) (Print or type name) Address Phone Legal Date CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: December 12, 1994 AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER'S NO: 9 CiTY MANAGER'S APPROVAL Attached please find an agreement calling for the office consolidation of the City Building Department and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority staff. Essentially, the proposal involves ~ .... ,~= ' '~ ~ tile ~nt.e~tz~g City Building Official, Department Secretary, and a new Zoning/Grant Coordinator (replacing the Assistant Building Inspector) into the HRA offices in the lower level of City Hall. The HRA staff members include the Executive Director, Housing Coordinator, Secretary, and a new one half-time Occupation Specialist assisting the administration of the Family Self Sufficiency Certificates. For the time being, the reimbursements under the agreement will remain the same as they are now budgeted. Currently, the City reimburses the HRA for planning, business uecruitment, and office administration services associated with Sheffield in the amount of $21,240. tn turn, the HRA reimburses the City for Section 8 inspections performed by the Fire Inspectors, and Rehabilitation/Project Management Inspections performed by Building Inspectors at approximately $12,716 a year. The replacement position of Zoning/Grant Coordinator will assume additional responsibility in the area of grant writing and grant reporting/administration that was previously performed by the Community Development Coordinator position that is now vacant in the HRA budget~ It is expected that the Secretary positions for both the HP~A and the City ~i!l be cross-trained in order to improve coverage and efficiency. Under the agreement, the City etilt will provide accounting services, as outlined in the 1993 agreement~ It is expected, however, that a further report will be filed next year regarding the potential savings that could result in further consolidation of accounting records and conversion of the HRA staff to City employees. At this time, no changes are proposed relevant to the Board and decision-making structure of the HRA. On a related item~ City staff is requesting approval, of the job description and wage range for tko Zoning/Grant Coordinator position. Again, this position Js a replacement and reclassification of duties of the former Assistant Building Inspector position~ It will allow the current Building Inspector to more fully concentrate on inspection activities. The position of Zoni~e/G~ant Coordinator will fall under the non-union employee group. In summary~ the office consolidation represents a interim step to 'the full. consolidation proposal that was outlined in the October 14, 1994, report. The economies and savings by operating the office are expected to result in some budgeta~- savings~ and afford maximum use of staff time. The office consolidation will better enable staff to explore the financial savings and benefits of the full accounting and personnel consolidation. REGOML~ENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement ~ith the Columbia Heights HRA regarding office consolidation of HRA staff and City Building Department staff. ~ ~ Move to approve the job description of Zoning/Planning Coordinator and RECOMMENDED MO=IO~: establish the 1994 wage range for the position at: EntrI 6 Months 1 Year ~ Years 3 Years $2,077 $2,148 $2,218 82,289 COUNCIL ACTION: AGREEMENT FOR OFFIC~ CONSOLIDATiO~ OF CITY BUILDING DEPARTMENT kND HOUSING kND REDeVELOPmeNT AUTHORITY STAr~ This agreement made this day of , !994, by and between the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Columbia Heights, a body corporate and politic, organized and existing under and by the virtue of the laws of the State of Minnesota, hereinafter called the "HRA" and the City of Columbia Heights, hereinafter referred to as the "City".

For d~e last nme years, the City has carded workers' compensation insurance from The Leagu. e of Minnesota Cities Group Serf-insurance '~rust uader premium refund option. Under ti~is option, the cost to ~e City is based on actual claims made during the ,,,ear with minimum and maxim'urn caps,, ratt~er than on a standard premiurn rate. If the City had no claims during t}¥year~ minimum rate would be 52.9% of the premium, and if dqe City had extensive claims ~Juring the year, the maximum would be 130% of ti~e standan~ premium. Over fl~e past eight year~, the Cib~ has realiz~M a sigmificant savings under this pian from the standard premium plan. In addidcm, the League is also offe:ring a 5,~,, d~,,count t$o,gL,} d the C~ty pamopates m a managed care program. Fhe State legislatu re authorized a managed care program two years ag<> whereby., the empk)yer l~:~s ri'tore control of workers' compensation costs. Since its inception, managed care has had a noticeable ef~k~ct in reducing ~,.'o~ ke~ s compensatKm costs fi:",r entities that participate i:n the program. [..inda Magee is working on implementing a menaged care program and if it's do~e by .}anuary 1, 1995 the CitT will received fl~e $5,913 cliscount. The ~ , - ,.eagu~ of Minnesota Cities Group Self-insurance Trust is the only company offering the ~'efund option plan. Under the ptan the City's minimum cost would be $62,566 and the maximum wouM be $153,755. 7Fhe standard premium i.f the City did not select the refund option is $107,074. Under the refund optKm ptan ~. C.~tv wd~ pay t<~% of all costs und} tI~e maximum premium is reached, tn general, the C~t~ b ~c,rke~s compensation ,ost k~t 199~ ~ decreased b'v $20,2{~3 due to an improvement in the C.~tV s ~ ','", .... ~ ' -'. "exl.,e]~en, e rating 11~e CiW's current experience modificat:ior:~ rating is 0.81 which is f9% bette~' than a norma~ rating., and an 8%, improvement from last ,year. If the Cip,,., participates in a managed., care pr~',-,M~:~n' -,, there is better control over maintaining this low experience modification raring. Du:r:[ng the past d:ree years, Cim staff and the City's insurance agent have done extensive ce~,earch on workers' comp in attempting to find another company that could compete with the League of blinnesota Odes Group ~df4nsurance Trust. in essence, none of the private companies can compete with this Trust~ This year verbal quote> were received from Minnesota Assigned Risk at $170,000 and State Fund Mutual at $t50,C4)0, Because the League has such a large membership and has been so successfu{, several companies have discontinued writing municipal workers compensation insurance in the State of Minnesota. U~is is fairly self-evident from the type of premiun~ the City paid and considering that in the pa:st h. ve years our refunds have been $88/)38 anct 558,03& This combined with O~e tower inidal premiums represents a significant savings to the City. RECOMMENDED MOTION; Move to authorize the City Manager to renew the workers: compensation insurance L,'om the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust under the retrospectively rated premium opt:ion using a maximun~ t:a,:::t,,)r of I~5,,'"Y',, at d',e rates specified. . in their quotation.

Because th.e values of the garages are placed on top of t:he condominium values, any amount of the garage value, combined with the condominium value that exceeds $72,000, is taxed at a 2% rate. Accordingly, the w~lue of the garages may be different in many cases. We have spoke with the County Assessor's office about including the wdt~es in with the condominium as one statement. I was told that this issue was reviewed previously by the City, County, and or[ginM developer. Apparently, the garage spaces are se:~arately described and platted, independent of the condomini'ums. The association, in order to remedy the problem, would have to attempt to replat ti~e property whereas to eliminat~ the garage statements. The County is discusMng the possibility of inclnding the garage values ~nit~aHy at 17.¢ with the balance of the condominium vMue calculated last. Apparently, Commissioner Kordiak has gotten involved ia tMs discussion, and the County is waiting for his review before they forward an official response to the City. I will correspond directly with citizens that attended the Truth In Taxation meeting. 3) DONATK)N FROM BARNA, GUZY, AND STEFFEN, INC.

J~.)INT SCHOOL DiSTRICT/CITY COUNCIL Mayor Sturdevant, Councilmembers Nawrocki and Jolly met with School Board members Lathe, 'Lindstrom, 'Larsot~, and Bjork on Wednesday, December 7th at: the Sc}~oot District Board Room on even/odd year election changes and development of a Youth Program. It appears that the School District: will consider matter ~f determining ttiat their spring elect'ions will be converted to an even year fall election. The School District probably will delay a determination on :it immediately, moving their t995 and 1997 spring elections to fall until the cost isst~es can be resolved. t expect tr'~ put this item on for City Council consideration at the December 27ti~ cora:nell meeting. The impact of an even year e[ectkm change is shown on the enclosed table. In the eYent an even year election is approved, it could result in a every ott~er year budgetary savings of approximately $25,000. The savings would not be fully realized until 1999. The staff of the School District and the City are expected to meet later t:o discuss reimbursement costs associated with the City conducting the election process for the School District. Wka regards to the Youth Program, it: was decided that the staff of the City and School would meet later this month to discuss a mechanism or process to identify an objective for the Youth Program and a method or approach to encourage youth participation.

The VFW meeting of iNovember 8, 1994. was a positive experience for the department. o~,,.is with the new dark c<~tored shi~ts. They granted the City a donation to outfit the ~ '"' ..... . The officers were excited and the new look is overdue. I was invited to attend a special tour of the Immaculate Conception School on November 17. The school is hosting inibrmadonal tours to local civic leaders to raise the community awa~ness of the schoot's existence. I was highly impressed by thc tour, which was put on by eighth grade students. Projects/Goals In light of the attempted abductioa on Reservoir Boulevard, active, community crime watch block captains shared a need for the police to put on a crime watch session directed at personal salbty issues. The meeting night of November 2I was cold m'~d windy, which ma.do the turnout of over 35 people very impressive. The Mayor also was iii attendance. Some myths were dispelled and ! shared what I could regarding thc incident. The crime watch meeting of November 21 afforded the opportuaity to introduce the McGrutT Crime program to the neighborhood residents. This program would replace thc present def'unct "Safe House" children watch program that was prevalent years ago. The McGruff program is but one of thc i'uture issues that the Police Department will support. HL Issues/Problems The iMPRS police recruitment program appears to be in a holding pattera while the lawsuit continues. The latest indicator shows the hiring prc, ccss is fi'ozen if cities drew names fi'om thc late spring 1994 MPRS test, o£ which Columbia Heights did.

Different class rates for various uses of property have been established by state law. These class rates are the same throughout Minnesota. Estimated Market Value represents the assessor's estimate of your property's actual market value. Market value is defined as the most probable price that a well informed buyer would pay a well informed seller for a property without either party being unduly forced to buy or sell. In other words, what the property would likely sell for if it were to be sold in an arm's-length transaction. Limited Market Value - Certain classes of property (agricultural homestead or non.homestead, residential homestead or nonhomestead, noncommercial seasonal recreational residential) have the amount that their value can increase limited to a maximum increase of ten percent over last year's value or one-third of the difference between last year's market value and this year's market value, whichever is greater. This limit does not apply to an increase in your value due to improvements made to your property. Value Exemption For Certain Improvements - Qualifying homes, 35 years or older, are now eligu"ole to receive a temporary exemption on all or a portion of the assessor's value estimate for certain newly constructed improvements. To qualify for exemption of improvements from the property tax, the property must be 35 years of age or older at the time the improvements commence and the property must be receix4ng the homestead classification. This includes properties classified as residential homestead (including duplexes and triplexes), blind/paraplegic veteran/disabled homestead and agricultural homestead. In addition, you must have taken out a building permit and/or filed an application for the exemption with the assessor. More information on this exemption may be obtained from your C011~ty assessor's or'ce. .........................................................· D e~ach Here · ..................... · De~ach Here · ANOKA COUNTY PAYABLE 1994 STATE PAID PROPERTY TAX~ REFUND INFORMATION 1993 1994 Owner: 'IN: ~larketValue: R14 31 24 33 0013 HARKER JAI, iES T & NANCY A lew Construction Value: 56200 55700 01486 t09TH LN NW ~roperty class: N/A 0 COON RAPIDS, N/q 55433 Taxpayer: RES NO-HST RES NO-HST FLEET MORTGAGE MILWAUKEE,WI 53201 Jne 1 Amount to use in filling out your property tax ~fund form M-'IPR, if eligible .............................................. 0.

You may contact your Assessor at the phone numbers listed under the Board of Review/Equ~lization meeting information. PLEASE NOTE: This preliminary, review is provided as a sen'ice to property, owners, it is not a formal part of the review process provided for by law. If you do not feel there has been a satisfactory response to your concerns, you may still use the appeals process. ' APPEAL PROCESS You may appeal your property's valuation or classification to the City or Town Board of Review. This appeal may be in person, by representative, or in writing. An appeal to the Local Board of .Review is required before proceeding to the County Board of Equaiization. If you are not satisfied with the decision of the Local Board of Review, you may appeal to the County Board of Equalization in person, by representative, or in writing. Appeals can also be made to the Minnesota Tax Court. Additional information on appeals to the Tax Court may be obtained by contacting the Minnesota Tax Court at (612) 296-2806 or the Court Administrator of the County in which your property is located. ' - - , IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY TAX STATEMENT * MinnesOta property taxes are based on the value and use of the property on January 2 of the preceeding year. For example, property taxes payable in 1994 are based on the property's use and market value as of January 2, 1993. This one year lag is to allow property owners to appeal any property determinations made by the assessor. The appeal process is stated above. * The tax statement process starts in early January and culminates with the statements being mailed in mid to late March. Real estate transactions recorded from January to March may not be reflected on this statement. If you buy property during this time period, you may not receive'a statement. The statement will be sent to the owner and taxpayer of record. * If you do not receive your statement(s) by April 1 of any year, please call (61~) 323-5400 and request a duplicate. * Tax statements are mailed over several weeks. Owners of multiple properties should allow extra time before calling our office requesting a duplicate statement. Only one tax statement per parcel is mailed per year. In addition, if our records indicate someone other than the owner is responsible for paying the taxes, that individual or institution is mailed a duplicate copy. * If you have paid off your mortgage and were escrowing your tax payment, you are responsible for paving the taxes that are due. For example, if your mortgage is satisfied in July, your first half taxes due by May 15th were paid by the mortgage company. The second half taxes are due by October 15th and must be paid by you or possibly another mortgage company if you refinanced. Remember, only one statement each year is sent unless a request is made for an a~tditional one. * LAW CHANGE: Homestead cards are no longer mailed annually. New homesteads require an initial application. The sale, transfer or purchase of an existing homestead property requires a notification to the assessor and a new homestead application. The assessor must be notified when homestead property is no longer used as a homestead. YOU MAYBE ELIGIBLE FOR A PROPERTY TAX REFUND THERE ARE TWO REFUND PROGRAMS AVAILABLE THIS YEAR. 1.

The prosecuting attorney, Gregg Herrick, has been instrumental and highly cooperative in making the transition from the old to the new most comfortable. Criminal files are now fully transferred to his office and working routines are being established between the Police Department and Mr. Herrick's staff. During the planning stages of the transition, we presented several concerns, all of which have been addressed. One concern was the need to remain informed as to a case status. Our City Attorney suggested we connect electronically to the law firm's computer to see the constantly updated information. This was accomplished with existing police software and hardware until a hardware glitch resulted. The problem was the monochrome amber computer monitor we were using, which was not really compatible with the attorney computer system. To rectify this situation, it was determined that the monitor was to be replaced. The law firm purchased the needed color monitor and donated it to the Police Department as of November 28, 1994. The Police Department is greatly appreciative. Please enter the donation info~xnation on the next Council meeting agenda to publicly thank them for this gesture. 94-350 c: Mayor Sturdevant COLUMBIA HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: Patrick Hentges, City Manager Leo'II'rd M. Olson, Acting Police Chief Summation of 1994 State Policing Grant December 1, 1994 The State of Minnesota Office of Drug Policy community crime prevention grant ended September 1, 1994. This grant was a single year renewal of the 1993 version. The grant supplied funding to provide intense crime prevention and manpower in the areas of Sheffield, Hilltop, and the Central Avenue business district. Our department submitted the final quarterly progress report on September 18, 1994 (copy attached). The state grant matching funds helped to continue policing efforts to strengthen police community relations. Programs such as the conduct ordinance enforcement in conjunction with the monthly landlord/owner meetings was but one of many efforts that played heavily in helping to turn our community around. We experienced success with the National Night Out program, to name another. We entertained the business community with numerous crime prevention mini-seminars called "Business-watch," aimed at heightening their awareness to local crime problems. We also interacted with our local schools above and beyond the school liaison program. Our program was coordinated and evaluated by Sergeant Bill Roddy. The numerous programs and tactics were carried out by numerous officers and staff, including our City Manager, Pat Hentges. I feel we have the path and focus to continue in the direction chosen to provide quality service to the public and the attitude to develop close partnerships with each segment of our community in future endeavors. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the City Council, Mayor, and City Manager for their continued support and cooperation in the Police Department efforts, not only in past programs, but in the Federal Grant and future programs we are planning and creating. 94-351 Attachment STATE OF MINNESOTA OFFICE OF DRUG POLICY COMMUNITY CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT Today's Date: Report for Dates: Organization Name: Program Director Name: Telephone Cf: Address: Report Completed By: September 18, 1994 July 1 tO August 31 Columbia Heights Police Department Year 1994 Leonard Olson, Acting Chief of Police 782-2846 559 Mill Street Northeast: Columbia Heights, ature QPR.CCP ~ o Briefly describe any difficulties orproblemsthat hindered achievement of your objectives.

(COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING) SURVEY COLUMBIA HEIGHTS/HILLTOP Survey Distributed June 1994 Construction The survey consisted of nine sections. Question #4 was open ended, therefore it was not indicated in the tabulation. Question #9 was open for comments. The most significant questions included questions #1 through #3 which dealt with program awareness and its impact, if any, on the respondent's feeling of safety. Questions #5 through #7 dealt with public contact by the Comm-n~ty Police Officers, pooling of resources with the citizenry, and lastly whether the surveyed area benefitted by the program. Distribution and Responses The survey was distributed in June of 1994 in two ways: (1) direct mailing with st~mped, self-addressed response envelopes, and (2) through Neighborhood Watch Block Captains in the HiLltop residential section. Return rate for this section was significantly lower. Probably the biggest reason was that we asked for Hilltop residents to hand deliver responses to the Hilltop City Hall. The same situation existed in Survey One (distributed in April 1994). Return rates are indicated below: Sheffield Residential Columbia Heights Businesses Hilltop Businesses Hilltop Residential 20 of 82 24% 27 of 82 33% 5 of 13 38% 19 of 405 05% It is readily apparent that the direct rustling received a significantly higher return rate, much more than the typical 10% to 14% common to most surveys. Likewise the more c~w~bersome distribution return process used for PTgltop residents resulted in an extremely poor response rate. Because this distribution format was used in the first survey, we maintained the process for this one as well. In the case of H~lltop Residential, the same residents were polled twice. In the other three areas, the second survey involved di~rent respondents from the previous survey. June 1994 C.O.P. Survey Results Page 2 SamDiinq 1. SHEFFIELD: All addresses in Sheffield were recorded for survey purposes in buildings of double or single vnits. Every third address was mailed a survey but the persons surveyed were different from the first survey. A total oftwo-tkirds of these homes were covered by Surveys One and Two. 2. BUSINESSES: All Col,:mbia Heights and Hilltop businesses in the grant area were recorded. Surveys were sent to every other address. Businesses polled this time were those not covered by the first survey in April. 3. HILLTOP RESIDENTIAL: All households (excluding apartment buildings) were given a survey via their block cap,in. The s~r~e group was surveyed a second t~r~e. Response Summary S~mflar results were obtained in the June 1994 survey (Survey Two) as were found in April 1994 (Survey One). The areas which have received the most significant C.O.P. attention over the two years of the grant, the Hilltop end Sheffield residential areas, received the most positive responses. As in the previous survey, the questions (#1 and #2) which addressed the awareness of the C.O.P. progrer~ and its effect on the citizens' feeling of safety were skewed highly to the positive. Likewise, the response to questions (#6 and #7) which address police/citizen contact and benefit to the community from the C.O.P. program were highly positive again in both the Sheffield end Hilltop residential areas. As in the previous survey, business operators had less knowledge of and fewer positive comments toward C.O.P. Many respondents were very appreciative of the police efforts and service in general. Surprisingly, the results of the second survey nearly echoed the responses to the first (April 1994) survey conducted as part of the grant. I believe that seeing the s~r~lar results indicates the true feelings of the public. Coll~r~bia Heights has now chosen to expand the C.O.P. idea to a city-wide venture over the next few years. Thanks to this start-up grant, the concept has grown greatly. Respectfully_. Sergeant WJl%:kao POLICE DEPARTMENT CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS JOSEPtl S. STURDEVANT, SR.

We hope it begins to provide you data and background information which will be helpful in your own budget, rate-setting and truth-in-taxation meetings. Enclosures on billing and flow data are customized for your community. If additional material tailored to your needs would be helpful, please let us know. This could be written information or staff visits. This effort is part of a larger plan, which will address costs and cost allocation in three ways. The Chair is creating a cost allocation advisory group of elected officials to reexamine the cost allocation system. The Environment Committee of the Metropolitan Council is developing financial management tools such as guidelines for budget increases over the next five years, and examining ways to manage our current budget more effectively in order to reduce future debt service and other long-term costs. Finally, staff continue to move forward on system improvements which will improve effectiveness and reduce costs. Plans are underway to keep local officials involved and informed during these processes. Please look over the enclosed materials and let us know what you think. If more financial information would be helpful, please call Connie Waterous at 229-2122. For additional flow information, call Don Bluhm at 229-2116. Sincerely, Helen A.

C:~PM4~SEW-CRGS.PM4 E ~== 0 0 0 0 0 Enclosure 93 Metropolitan Council Wastewater Services Phases of Development This report summarizes the evolution of the MCWS from several standpoints: its governing policies, construction activities, its environmental compliance record and the cost allocation system in place. The evolution is divided into three phases: PHASE A PHASE B PHASE C Creation of Function and Consolidation of System (1970 - 1985) Improving and Expanding the System (1986 - 1995) Rehabilitation and Continued Upgrade (1996 - 2006) PHASE A. Creation of Function and Consolidation of System (1970 - 1985) POLICIES Three policies governed the actions and expenditures of the Sewer Board (renRmed the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission in 1974 and Metropolitan Council Wastewater Services in 1994) during this period. The first was the enabling legislation which directed the creation of a regional sewer treatment system. The second was the Clean Water Act passed in 1972. The third was direction from the Metropolitan Council and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission to take advantage of efficiencies by moving from a decentralized treatment system to a regionalized treatment system. CONSTRUCTION ACTMTY On its creation, the agency acquired 33 treatment plants and 350 miles of interceptor. Twenty- nine of the 33 plants did not meet standards. From 1970 through 1985 the agency: · Closed 29 plants · Built 3 plants · Built or acquired 150 miles of interceptor · Created the Service Availability Charge (SAC) concept and fund through which future users would pay for the reserved capacity built into the system. · Spent $350 million (subsidized by grants) to upgrade and expand the Metropolitan Plant. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE By the early 1980's, the organization had begun to regularly meet effluent standards set by the MPCA and the EPA, even though the standards continued to rise. REVENIFE AND COST ALLOCATION Through the original legislation, the Waste Control Cornm{ssion charges varied across six service areas. Starting in 1973, future user debt service was funded from a Service Availability Charge (SAC) fund which was built from SAC charges, or connection fees, for new connections to the system. The Commission allocated cost through a rather complicated formula. Total capital expenditures during this period were approximately $646 million. The Commission was reimbursed for 80 percent of the total capital costs through Federal and State grants. PHASE B. Improving and Expanding the System (1986 - 1995) POLICIES During this period the agency completed the consolidation mandated by the Legislature and the Metropolitan Council. It also continued the implementation of the regionalization concept. Additionally, the Legislature revisited the function's cost allocation system. CONSTRUCTION ACTMTY The agency completed the consolidation in 1993 by closing the last of three plants. The agency continued implementation of the regionalizing process by: · Expanding and upgrading four plants (Seneca, Blue Lake, Empire, and Stillwater). · Constructing an additional 80 - 100 miles of interceptor. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE By the end of this period the agency had achieved nearly 100 percent compliance with its permits. REVENIJE AND COST ALLOCATION A recommendation to eliminate the Service Area approach to allocating wastewater service costs was adopted by the Legislature in 1986. Single Service Area billing was phased in over the period 1987 - 1992. In the Single Service Area cost allocation system, all operating costs for treatment works and interceptors are distributed across communities based on estimated flow (later adjusted for actual). Debt service expenses are split between current and future users based on estimated reserve capacity in the system. Total capital expenditures during this period were $452.5 million. The Commission was reimbursed for $31 million of the total capital costs through Federal and State grants. PHASE C. Rehabilitation and Continued Upgrade (1996 - 2006) POLICIES The 1994 Legislature merged Wastewater Services and the Metropolitan Council. Efforts will continue to more closely align planning and operations of regional systems. As the merger moves forward, it is likely that a new vision and mission statement will emerge. Wastewater Services expects to see changes when the Clean Water Act is re-authorized in the next several years. The Clean Air Act was amended in 1990. The first of the requirements resulting from that act is the requirement to conduct an inventory and assessment of air emissions at all facilities. It is possible that the results of that assessment could lead to requirements for permanent monitoring activity or other capital expenditures. The Metropolitan Council is in the late phases of considering the results of the CentralizationfDecentralization which will result in capital expenditures over the next decade. The cost allocation system is being re-examined as a regional policy issue and changes will be implemented in this timeframe. 2 CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY The current Capital Budget can be broken down into three cost categories: growth and expansion; regulatory compliance; and rehabilitation. The proposed 1995 Capital Budget is Proposed 1995 Capital Budget Major Cost Categories Other ~ Infrastructure Needs Growth~~ 36% 29% Regulatow Compliance 33% distributed fairly equally among these three categories: 29 percent growth and expansion; 33 percent regulatory compliance; and 36 percent rehabilitation. The remaining 2 percent of the budget represents administrative costs. Over the next 20 years, the focus will shift from new construction to rehabilitation. Examples of growth needs include the Rosemount expansion, Chaska phaseout, the Blaine, Elm Creek, Waconia and Lino Lakes interceptors. The agency will also implement the results of a Centralization/Decentralization study which says that the Metro Plant cannot be expanded without negative environmental impact and the system should add one additionai major regional facility in the southeast. Regulatory compliance projects include the regulator modifications, Metro/Seneca incinerator instrumentation, Seneca ash landfill closure, and the Metro side stream phosphorus removal programs. Rehabilitation programs include the Metro/Mpls. meter improvements, Metro aeration tank rehabilitation, fine bubble retrofit, centrifuge dewatering programs, and the continuation of the interceptor facilities inspection program. The focus will shift from new construction to rehabilitation. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE Wastewater Services has a commitment to anticipating and meeting all environmental regulations. Additionally it feels a responsibility, through its permit negotiations process, to engage in active debate on the balance between the value added to regional environmental quality through increasing standards and the cost of meeting that standard. REVENUE AND COST ALLOCATION MCWS is addressing costs and cost allocations in three ways: 1) The Chair is creating a Cost Allocation Advisory Group of elected officials to re-examine the cost allocation system, 2) The Environment Committee of the Metropolitan Council is developing financial management tools, such as guidelines for budget increases over the next five years. They are also examining ways to manage our current budget more effectively in order to reduce future debt service and other long term costs. 3) Staff continues to move forward on system improvements which will improve effectiveness and reduce costs.

The commitment of Wastewater Services to high-quality wastewater collection and treatment will continue under the new structure as we begin worl~ing more closely with other metropolitan functions for the common good of the region. This annual budget was developed under the guidance of the Board of Commissioners of the Metropolitan Waste Control Cornrni.~sion and was approved on June 21, 1994 by that body. As we moved through the budget process and it becnme clear that the Board of Comrni~sioners would be abolished and oversight ass-reed by the Metropolitan Council, Council and Commission leadership agreed that the Cornrn~.~sioners, who had helped shape the detailed annual budget, should vote on its approval. The Capital Budget, with its long-term implications, would be approved after the merger. This transmittal letter will discuss the Annual Budget and how it addresses agency goals and customer priorities. When the Capital Budget is approved, a section on it will be added to the letter. Goals for the 1995 Annual Budget A budget which provides the Early in the 1995 budget process, the Board of Commissioners minimum necessary resources developed a goal to guide deliberations. They wanted "a budget to meet the mission, which provides the mlnirm~rn necessary resources to meet the mission." Their discussion indicated that "rn~nlm~rn necessary resources" implied two things, a) providing resources for prudent A management and maintenance of all systems,-and b) a preference for minimum resources to reflect cost concerns throughout state and local governments. ~To meet the mission" implied a long- term, multi-year view of activities. Their concept was to invest today in such activities as mnlntenance and planning which forestall future rate shock. That goal is consistent with our customers' priorities for 1995. A survey of customer cornrmmlties and industrial users early in 1994 showed the top four priorities included: a) long-term, and b) short-term cost control, together with c) stability in billings to cornrn-n~ties, and d) environmental protection. There are a variety of reasons we believe the 1995 budget meets these goals and priorities, but the principal reason is the very moderate increase in the operating portion of the annual budget. 1995 Annual and Capital Budget Volume 1 - Annual Budget Page 5 Ann~_~! Budget Totals The major components of the 1995 Annual Budget compared to 1994 are as follows: Operating Budget Debt Service Budget Total Annual Budget 1994 1995 $ 98.97 million $100.45 million 53.50 million 58.31 million $152.50 milllon $158.76 milllon The 1995 total is 4.13 percent more than the 1994 total. Debt Service Budget The Debt Service budget remains a driving force for increases in the Annual Budget. With continuing fiscal effort, the increases have been levelled to an average of 9.2 percent over the next five years. During the past two years, an ad hoc committee of Commissioners reviewed capital projects in depth in an attempt to restrain the growth of debt service. Options such as financing some capital-related projects or activities from operating funds rather than debt will continue to be reviewed. Growth in the area and the concomitant demand for sewerage services, more stringent regulatory requirements, and the need for maintenance on aging portions of the disposal system, however, w/il continue to exert pressure for increased capital spen~llng. Operating Budget The 1995 Operating Budget itself shows little growth over 1994. It is about $1.5 m/Ilion more than the 1994 budget. Its 1.5 percent growth is significantly below the forecast 2.7 percent increase in the implicit price deflator for state and local government services. Again this year, the Operating Budget incorporates two important initiatives begun in 1994. First, $2.5 million was added to fund nonpoint source pollution activities pursuant to the Memorand~m of Understanding (MOU) drafted in connection with the N'PDES/SDS permit for the Metropolitan WWTP. The $2.5 million is approximately 1/5 of the $12.35 million the MWCC committed to NPS over a five-year period under the terms of the MOU. Also, $800,000 was added to the Operating Budget for the function's unfunded leave liability, contingent upon an actuarial study to determine adequate funding for the liability over a 10-year period. This is a change t~om 1994, when the proposal was to fund the then-outstanding liability over a three-year period. A plan to fund the liability is required by state law. Here is how the 1994 and 1995 budgets compare inclu~]ing these initiatives. ProgrAm~ Liability Funding Funding for MOU Total Operating Budget Debt Service Budget Total Annual Budget 1994 $ 95.17 mi11ion 1.30 ~illion 2.50 mi11ion $ 98.97 million 53.50 million $152.50 million 1995 $ 97.15 million 0.80 million 2.50 million $100.45 million 58.31 m/ILion $158.76 million 995 Annual and Capital Budget Volume 1 - Annual Budget Page 6 Delivering Customer Priorities Long. term Cost Control Long-term cost control, one of our customers' top priorities, is addressed throughout the Annual Budget. Perhaps the single most important factor for potential cost control is the capital budget, which is financed by debt service. Not only is the debt service budgeted in 1995 for debt issued in 1994 and prior years, but capital projects themselves may run eight to 10 years from plan to completion. Review of the capital budget is beco,~;,~g more searching. Short. te~m Cost Control Another major factor in long-term cost control is the budget for salaries, wages and benefits, a major ~h~rd of the organization's budget. A st~ffing analysis initiated early in 1994 resulted in a net reduction of 20 staff jobs and restrictions in hiring for other vacancies. The result is a salary and wage budget for 1995 that is marginally less than 1994, despite a forecasted 2.7 percent wage increase. There is, however, au increase in the budget for the employer's share of benefits -- from an estimated 28 percent of salaries and wages in 1994 to 29.5 percent in 1995. (Forecasts show the employer's share of benefits running at 29.5 percent in mid-1994.) Short-term cost control is demonstrated by the modest 1.5 percent increase in operating budgets over- all. Further, in constant 1995 dollars, budgeted program costs peaked in 1993 and declined in 1994 and 1995. (See Eghlbit 1).

Moderate increases in operating expense help to moderate billings. Another stabilizing influence is t~ng the SAC fund tron~fer for 1994 and 1995. During its deliberations on the annual budget, the Board of Cor-r~ssioners fixed the revenue transferred from the Service Availability Charge fund (SAC fund) to the General fund to pay for the future user component of debt service. The trsn~fer percentage is determ~r~ed by the engineering es~mate completed as part of ~he budget process and will not be adjusted for actual flow at the end of the year. This means the SAC transfer for 1995 will remain at $14.6 million regardless of flow. This e]imlnates a source of revenue variation and helps stabilize bills to comrm~ities. Effect on Sewer Service Charges Sewer service charges to comrn~l~ities will increase on average 7.7 percent in 1995. Operating costs will increase only 1.5 percent. However, an increase in debt service over 9 percent will drive up charges. An additional factor driving up charges is the lack of a rebate. 1994 charges were cushioned by a $3.4 m~llion rebate to communities resulting from 1992 operations. The lack of a rebate adds a growth factor to 1995 charges. (See ]~xhlbit 2 on following page.) Environmental Protection Environmental protection, our final customer priority, is the principal goal of our operations. Our goal is 100 percent compliance with NPDES/SDS discharge permits. In 1993, the treatment plants achieved 99.8 percent compliance with the tough standards set by the permits, and from April 1993 to April 1994, they achieved full compliance. The compliance streak ended in April with a tone exceedance at the Empire Plant. We believe this quality of treatment, combined with cost control, makes Wastewater Services a good value. Sincerely, Helen A. Boyer General Manager, Wastewater Services 1995 Annual and Capital Budget Volume 1 - Annual Budget Page 8 Exhibit 2 Sewer Service Charges to Municipalities shown on a budget basis (millions of dollars) The upper portion of this exhibit shows how sewer service charges are es~m~ted; the lower portion, how Residential Equivalent Connection (REC) rates are estimated. (The REC rate is the average wholesale rate per residence). The calculation begins with budgeted expenditures. Then estimated revenues fi"om non-sewer service charge sowrces are deducted. The remainder is gross sewer service charges. Next, credits such as local government debt service credits and current value credits are deducted. Finally, any credits or debits resulting fi"om operations in prior years are added or deducted (principally deducted). The remainder is net sewer service charges --the ~r~ount billed to customer comm,~nities. Net charges divided by RECs equal the REC rate or average wholesale rate per residence. This exhibit uses a budget basis m estimated revenues and expenditures. For information on actual revenues and expenditures, see page 14. For information on how changes of wastewater flow volume affect b(ll~ngs to an individual community, contact the ~-~neial stafflisted on page 2.

This is consistent with state and federal law and accepted practice in wastewater utilities, which call for the utility to be self-sustaining from fees. Notes on Budget Amendments At year-end 1991, there was a favorable variance of $6.5 re{Ilion ($1.7M fi'om revenues and $4.8M from underspending). The Board authorized $3M to prepay debt service; $3M transfer to reserve (including $2M to use as rebates in 1992) and $0.5M for leave liability (Resolution 93-03). Additionally, $4.2M was spent to remove past ash, backed by a transfer from the Capital.. Revolving Fund, a subset of the Construction Fund, per Resolution 91-88. At year-end 1992, there was a favorable variance of $3.4M ($4.9M from underspending, less $1.6M in revenue shortfall). These funds will be returned to municipalities as a credit on 1994 charges (Resolution 93-26A Revised). Also, a debt refunding brought an added $5.8M tr~.~fer from the SAC fund (Resolution 92-249). Finally, $1.9M was spent to remove past ash, funded by a transfer of interest earnings from the Construction Fund per Resolution 91-88. The 1993 Budget was amended by $1.5M to remove past ash per Resolution 91-88. At year-end 1993, the budget was balanced by reversing an accrual for leave liability funding. The 1994 amended budget includes the $367,000 rem~ng of the original $8M earmarked for past ash; shown as a transfer under revenues and as an addition to program expenditures per Res. 91-88. Also per Res. 94-113 Revised, $4.5M in revenue from the sale of Scottland Properties is to be spent to fund air emissions inventory work in 1994 and 1995; then for I & I grants and finally to purchase land for a Southeast Regional Plant.

Because the values of the garage.s are placed on top of the condominium values, any amount of the garage value, combined with the condominium value that exceeds $72,000, is taxed at a 2% rate. Accordingly, the value of the garages may be different in many cases. We have spoke with the County Assessor's office about including the values in with the condominium as one statement. I was told that this issue was reviewed previously by the City, County, and original developer. Apparently, the garage spaces are separately described and platted, independent of the condominiums. The association, in order to remedy the problem, would have to attempt to replat the property whereas to eliminate the garage statements. The County is discussing the possibility of including the garage values initially at 1% with the balance of the condominium value calculated last. Apparently, Commissioner Kordiak has gotten involved in this discussion, and the County is waiting for his review before they forward an official response to the City. I will correspond directly with citizens that attended the Truth In Taxation meeting. 3) DONATION FROM BARNA, GUZY, AND STEFFEN, INC. Attached please find a memorandum from the Acting Police Chief noting the donation by the City Attorney of a color monitor to the Police Department. The monitor was necessary for the Police Department to finalize the Department computer link to the criminal files and reports in the City Attorney's office. 4) 1994 STATE POLICING GRANT FINAL REPORT Attached please find a final report of the activity conducted under the 1994 state policing grant administered by the Office of Drug Policy. Note that the obligations of the grant activities concluded in September, 1994, but have continued with the assignment of Officer Nightingale the Grid 8 area (Sheffield, K-Mart, Central Avenue) permit an area and Hilltop. 5) METROPOLITAN COUNCIL ATTACHED SEWER SERVICE CHARGE REPORT Attached please find a report from the Metropolitan Council Wastewater Services regarding the City's past, current, and estimated sewer service charges. Please note that the actual net sewer charge will be approximately $56,661 less than the estimated cost previously outlined. This will be taken into consideration when the City Council further explores and reviews the rate structure of the sewer fund. 6) JOINT SCHOOL DISTRICT/CITY COUNCIL MEETING Mayor Sturdevant, Councilmembers Nawrocki and Jolly met with School Board members Laine, Lindstrom, Larson, and Bjork on Wednesday, December 7th at the School District Board Room on even/odd year election changes and development of a Youth Program. It appears that the School District will consider matter of determining that their spring elections will be converted to an even year fall election. The School District probably will delay a determination on it immediately, moving their 1995 and 1997 spring elections to fall until the cost issues can be resolved. I expect to put this item on for City Council consideration at the December 27th council meeting. The impact of an even year election change is shown on the enclosed table. In the event an even year election is approved, it could result in a every other year budgetary savings of approximately $25,000. The savings would not be fully realized until 1999. The staff of the School District and the City are expected to meet later to discuss reimbursement costs associated with the City conducting the election process for the School District. With regards to the Youth Program, it was decided that the staff of the City and School would meet later this month to discuss a mechanism or process to identify an objective for the Youth Program and a method or approach to encourage youth participation. I expect that this matter will be discussed on December 19. I will report back to the Council the progress made at that meeting. cb 94/128 COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PUBLIC LIBRARY 820 - 40t1~ AVENUE N. E.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council Members Leonard M. Olson, Acting Police Chief Operational Report, November, 1994 DATE: December 5, 1994 OffY tiF CO/U~41gt,~, HEJGH!$ I. Events/Accomplishments Department personnel attended the fall night shoot the first week of November. This is one of numerous training sessions throughout the year that is provided for the entire Anoka County law enforcement community. The weather cooperated, making the shoot enjoyable. Bo The VFW meeting of November 8, 1994, was a positive experience for the department. They granted the City a donation to outfit the officers with the new dark colored shirts. The officers were excited and the new look is overdue. I was invited to attend a special tour of the Immaculate Conception School on November 17. The school is hosting informational tours to local civic leaders to raise the community awareness of the school's existence. I was highly impressed by the tour, which was put on by eighth grade students. II. Projects/Goals In light of the attempted abduction on Reservoir Boulevard, active community crime watch block captains shared a need for the police to put on a crime watch session directed at personal safety iSsues. The meeting night of November 21 was cold and windy, which made the turnout of over 35 people very impressive. The Mayor also was in attendance. Some myths were dispelled and I shared what I could regarding the incident. The crime watch meeting of November 21 afforded the opportunity to introduce the McGruff Crime program to the neighborhood residents. This program would replace the present defunct "Safe House" children watch program that was prevalent years ago. The McGruff program is but one of the future issues that the Police Department will support. III. Issues/Problems Ao The MPRS police recruitment program appears to be in a holding pattern while the lawsuit continues. The latest indicator shows the hiring process is frozen if cities drew names from the late spring 1994 MPRS test, of which Columbia Heights did. The third officer approved for hire will be delayed. 94-355 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS DATE: TO: FROM: RE: DECEMBER 5, 1994 PATRICK HENTGES CITY MANAGER WILLIAM ELRITE FINANCE DIRECTOR OPERATIONAL REPORT NOVEMBER 1994 DEPARTMENTAL GOALS: 1995 BUDGET The 1995 budget hearing was held on November 30, 1994.

Different class rates for various uses of property have been established by state hw. These et.~ rates arc the same throughout Minnesota. Estimated Market Value represents thc assessor's estimate of your property's actual mzrket value. Market value is defin~l as the most probable priee that a wall informed burr would pay a w~ll informed seller for a proper~y without either party being unduly forced to buy or s~ll. Ia other words, what the property would likely sell for if it w~r¢ to be sold ha an arm's-length transaction. Limited Market Value - C~rtain classas of property (agricultural homestead or nonhomestead, residential homestead or nonhomastead, noncommercial seasonal r~creational residential) have the amount that their value can increase limited to a maximum increase of ten percent owr last y~ar's value or one-third of the differenee between last y~ar's market value and this year's market value, whlchev~r is greater. This limit does not apply to an increase in your value due to hnprov~m~nts made to your properly. Value Exemption For Certain Improvements - Qualifying homes, 35 y~ars or older, are now eligible to reeeive a tempora~d exemption on all or a portion of the assessor's value estimate for eer~dn newly constructed improwments. To qualify for exemption of improvements from the property tax, the property must be 35 years of age or older a~ the time the improvements commence and the property must be receiving the homestead classification. This includes properties classified as residential homestead (including duplu~s and triplmres), blind/paraplegic veteran/disabled homestead and agricultural homestead. In addition, you must hav~ taken out a building permit and/or filed an application for the exemption with tho. assessor.

PLEASE NOTE: This preliminary review is provided as a service to property owners, it is not a formal part of the review process provided for by law. If you do not feel there has been a satisfactory response to your concerns, you may still nsc the appeals process. APPEAL PROCESS You may appeal .,.,our property's valuation or classification to the City or Town Board of Review. This appeal may be in person, by representative, or in writing. An appeal to the Local Board of .Review is required before proceeding to the County. Board of Equalization. If you are not satisfied with the decision of the Local Board of Review, you may appeal to the County Board of Equalization in person, by representative, or in writing. Appeals can also be made to the Minnesota Tax Court. Additional information on appeals to the Tax Court may be obtained by contacting the Minnesota Tax Court at (612) 296-2806 or the Court Administrator of the County in which your property is located. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY TAX STATEMENT * Minnesota property taxes are based on the value and use of the property on January 2 of the preceeding year. For example, property taxes payable in 1994 are based on the property's use and market value as of January 2, 1993. This one year lag is to allow property owners to appeal any property determinations made by the assessor. The appeal process is stated above. * The tax statement process starts in early January and culminates with the statements being mailed in mid to late March. Real estate transactions recorded from January to March max, not be reflected on this statement. If you buy property during this time period, you r~a.v not receive'a statement. The statement will be sent to the owner and taxpayer of record. ~ . * If you do not receive your statement(s) by April I of any year, please call (61~) 32~-$400 and request a duplicate. * Tax statements are mailed over several weeks. Owners of multiple properties should allow extra time before calling our office requesting a duplicate statement. Only one tax statement per parcel is mailed per year. In addition, if our records indicate someone other than the owner is respons~le for paying the taxes, that individual or institution is mailed a duplicate copy. * If you have paid off your mortgage and were escrowing your tax payment, you are responsible for paving the taxes that are due. For example, if your mortgage is satisfied in July, your first half taxes due by May 15th were paid by the mortgage company. The second half taxes are due by October lSth and must be paid by you or possibly another mortgage company if you refinanced. Remember, only one statement each year is sent unless a request is made for an additional one. * LAW CHANGE: Homestead cards are no longer mailed annually. New homesteads require an initial application. The sale, transfer or purchase of an existing homestead property requires a notification to the assessor and a new homestead application. The assessor must be notified when homestead property is no longer used as a homestead. YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR A PROPERTY TAX REFUND THERE ARE TWO REFUND PROGRAMS AVAILABLE THIS YEAR. 1.

Olson, Acting Police Chief Acknowledge Donation from City Attorney's Office December 1, 1994 Our new City Attorney, Barna, Guzy, & Steffen, Ltd. took over prosecutions fully on November 1, 1994. The prosecuting attorney, Gregg Herrick, has been instrumental and highly cooperative in making the transition from the old to the new most comfortable. Criminal files are now fully transferred to his office and working routines are being established between the Police Department and Mr. Herrick's staff. During the planning stages of the transition, we presented several concerns, all of which have been addressed. One concern was the need to remain informed as to a case status. Our City Attorney suggested we connect electronically to the law firm's computer to see the constantly updated information. This was accomplished with existing police software and hardware until a hardware glitch resulted. The problem was the monochrome amber computer monitor we were using, which was not really compatible with the attorney computer system. To rectify this situation, it was determined that the monitor was to be replaced. The law firm purchased the needed color monitor and donated it to the Police Department as of November 28, 1994. The Police Department is greatly appreciative. Please enter the donation information on the next Council meeting agenda to publicly thank them for this gesture. 94-350 c: Mayor Sturdevant : Metropolitan Council ~ ~ Working for the Region, planning for the Future November 21, 1994 Mr. William Ekite Finance Director City of Columbia Heights 590-40th Avenue NE Columbia Heights, Minnesota 55421-3878 Dear Mr. Ekite: I Wastewater Services NOV 2 8 1994 CLERK C~'~ O~ :o~um~a t4e~sl'fl~ This letter accompanies a packet of information about your bill from the Metropolitan Council Wastewater Services.

(.(3 LO '~' 03 OJ ~ Enclosure #3 'Metropolitan Council WasteWater Services Phases of Development This report summarizes the evolution of the MCWS from several standpoints: its governing P°licies,' c°nstrUction activities, its envir%mental complian~record and the cost allocation system in place. The evolution is divided into three phases:_. PHASE A Creation of Function and Consolidatio~ of System (1970 - 1985) ~E B ImProvin~ and Expending the System (!986. 1995) PHASE C Rehabilitation and £ lontinued Upgrade (1996 - 2006) PHASE A. Creation of Function ~nd C°nsolida~ion of System (1970 - 1985) POLICIES Three PoliCies governed the actions and e ~xpenditures of the ~ewer Board (renomed the Metropolitan Waste Control Cor~m~ssion ~ 1974 and Metropolitan Council Wastewater Services in 1994) during this period. The first was the enabling le~slation which directed the creation of alregional sewer treatment system. The ~econd was the Clean Water Act passed in 1972. The ~fird was direction ~om the MetropolitaK CoUncil and the ~tropolitan Waste Control Comm~.~si0n to take advantage of efficiencies by'moving fro~_ a decentralized'treatment system tO a regionalized t~eatment system. CoNSTRvcT ON ACTrVrrY On its creation, the agency acquired 33 treatment plants and 350 miles of interceptor. Twenty- nme of the 33 plants did not meet standards. From 1970 thtjough 1985 the agency: ' Closed 29 plants ' · Built 3 plants · Built or acquired 150 miles of interceptor '~- Created the Service Availability~Charge (sAc) conCePt and fund through which future Users Would pay for the reserved capacity built into the system. -'- Spent $3~0 million (subsidized by grants) to upgra~l~ and expand the Metropolitan ENVntO~NTAL COMPT,TANCE By the early 1980's, the organization had begun to regularlylmeet effiuent standards set by the MPCA and the EPA, even though the standards continued to rise. REVENUE AND COST AT~,OCATION, Through the. :°riginal. legislation, the Was.te Control CommiS~i0n charges varied across six service areas.. Starting in 1973, future user debt service wa~:~ funded from a Service Availability Charge (SAC) fund which was built from SAC charges, or connection fees, for new connections to the system. The Commission allocated ~o~t through a rather'complicated formula. Total capital expenditures during this pe~iod~ were appro~i~tely. $646 million. The Comr~ssiOn was reimbursed for 80 percent of the total capital costs through Federal and State ~ants. PHASE B. Improving and Expanding the System (1986 - 1995) POLICIES During this period the agency completed the consolidation mandated by the Legislature and the Metropolitan Council. It also continued the implementation of the regionalization concept. Additionally, the Legislature revisited the function's cost allocation system. CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY :~ The agency completed the consolidation in 1993 by closing the last of three plants. The agency continued implementation of the regionalizing process by: · Expanding and upgrading four plants (Seneca, Blue Lake, Empire, and Stillwater). · Constructing an additional 80 - 100 miles of interceptor. ENVmO E AL By the end of this period the agency had achieved nearly 100 percent compliance with its pe~-~ts. REVE~ AND COST .~,LI.OCATION A recor~mendation to eliminate the Service Area approach to allocating wastewater service costs was adopted by the Legislature in 1986. Single Service Area billing was phased in over the period 1987 - 1992. In the Single Service Area cost allocation system, all operating costs for treatment works and interceptors are distributed across communities based on estimated flow (later adjusted for actual). Debt service expenses are split between current and future users based on estimated reserve capacity in the system. Total capital expenditures during this period were $452.5 million. The Commission was reimbursed for $31 million of the total capital costs through Federal and State grants. PHASE C. Rehabilitation and Continued Upgrade (1996 - 2006) POLICIES The 1994 Legislature merged Wastewater Services and the Metropolitan Council. Efforts will continue to more closely align pl~-n~ng and operations of regional systems. As the merger moves forward, it is likely that a new vision and mission statement will emerge. Wastewater Services expects to see changes when the Clean Water Act is re-authorized in the next several years. The Clean Air Act Was omended in 1990. The first of the requirements resulting from that act is the requirement to conduct an inventory and assessment of air e~ssions at all facilities. It is possible that the results of that assessment could lead to requirements for permanent monitoring activity or other capital expenditures. The Metropolitan Council is in the late phases of considering the results of the Centralization/Decentralization which will result in capital expenditures over the next decade. The cost allocation system is being re-exem~ned as a regional policy issue and changes will be implemented in this timeframe. 2 CONS U UCTION ACTWn The current Capit~al Budget Can be broke, n down into three ~e ~ost cat, egories: growth and expansion;, . regulatory compliance; and rehabilitation.. The prOPosed 1995 Capital Budget is Proposed 1995 Capital Budget Major Cost Categories Other 2~~structure Ne36% eds 29% distributed fairly equally among these three categories: 29 percent growth and expansion; 33 percent regulatory compliance; and 36 percent rehabilitation. The remaining 2 percent of the budget represents administrative costs. Over the next 20 years, the focus will shift from new construction to rehabilitation. Growth Regulatory Compliance Examples of growth needs include the Rosemount a,,/0 expansion, Chaska phaseout, the Blaine, Ell Creek, Waconia and Lino_~Lakes interceptors. The agency will also implement the. results ora Centralizati0n/DeCentralization~study which says that the Metro Plant Cannot be expanded without negative environmental impact and the system should add one additionai major regional facility in the southeast. Regulatory complianc~ projects include the regulator modifications, Metro/Seneca incinerator ins~tmmentation, Senec~a ash !andfdl closure, and the Metro side stream phosphorus removal programs, i Rehabilitation pro~arn~ include the metro/Mpls, meter improvements, Metro aeration tank rehabili,tation, fine bubble r~trofit, centrifuge dewatering Programs, and the continuation of the. interceptor facilities inspection program. The focus will shift from new Construction to rehabilitation. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE Wastewater Services has a commitment to gnficipating and mee~:ting all environmental regulations. Additionally it feels a responsibility, through its permit negotia[ions process, to engage in active debate on the balance between the value added to regional environmental quality through increasing standards and the cost of meeting that standard. wmm CoST ALi, oc, uom MCWS is ad~essing costs and cost allocations in three ways: 1) iThe Chair is creating a Cost All~cation Advisory G~up of elected officials to re-examine ~e cost allocation system. 2) 'The Environment Committee of ~e Metropolitan Council is developing financial .~ management tools,' such as guidelines for budget inc}~ases over the next five years. They are:also examining ways to manage our ~current budget more effectively in order to reduce future debt service and other long term costs. 3) Staff continues to move forward,on system llproVe~nents which will improve effectiveness and reduce costs. 3 c(~w:cus SERVICES .CGW Enclosure #4 Reprint of material from 1995 budget publication MetropOlitan Council Wastewater Services Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, Minnesota (formerly Metropolitan Waste Control Commission) 1995 Annual and Capital Budget Volume 1 -Annual Budget Officially Approved June 21, 1994 Mears Park Centre I 230 East Fifth Street / St. Paul, MN 55101 / (612) 222-8423 September 2, 1994 Meats Park C~n. tre, 230 East Fifth Street, St. Paul, l~J!nnesota 55101-1633 A ~ervice of the Metrotmlitan Counc~ 612 222-8423 The Honorable Dottie Rietow, Chair M~embers of the CoUncil Metropolitan CoUncil_~ of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area De~ Chair Rietow and Members: This is the first Annual Budget for Wastewa,ter Services as we move forward through the tr~.~ition in governance and structure initiated by 1994 legislation. The com~m~tment of Wastewater Services to high-quality wastewater collection and treatment will continue ~under the new structure as we begin worlrlng more closely with other metropolitan functions for the common good of the region. This annual budget Was developed under the guidance of the Board of Co~ml,sioners of the Mgtropo]itan Waste Contr°l Commission and was apprOVed on june 21, 1994 by that body. As we mOV.ed thr~ ough the budget process and it be~_~me clear that the )~oard of Commissioners would be abolished and oversight ~ass-med by the Metropolitan Council, ~ouncil ~d Commission leadership agreed that the Comm!,sieners, who had helped shape the detaiJed ~nnual budget, should vote on its approval. The caPi~ Budget, wi~hits long, term implications, Would be approved after the merger. This trz~8mittal letter ~ discuss the Anngal .Budget and howj~t ad ~dresses agency goals and customer priorities.. When the Capital Budget is approved, a section on it will be added to the letter. GOals fOr the 1995 P. nmm) Budget ~- : A budget which provides the Early in the 1995 budget process, the Board of Commissioners minimum necessary resources developed a goal to guide deliberations. They wanted 'a budget to meet the m/ss/on, which provides the ~ni~,,rn necessary resources to meet the mission.' Their discussion indicated that 'mlnim,m necessary l~*~:~ala*~:a~l.'~:~01Ol~:~l:t~t.Iea/a resotlrCe8' implied two things, a) providing resources for prudent  v~o.ogement and rnnin~uance of all systemn,.kud b) a preference for minimum resources to reflect cost concerns throughout state and local gbvernments. 'Po meet the rolnsion' implied a long- and planning which forestall future rate shock. Thgt goal is consistent. _wi'th our customers' priorities for 1995. A survey of customer com~--~ties and industrial users early in 1994 showed the top. four priorities included: a) long-term, and b) short-term cost control, .toge~her.with c) stability in bi]lings to comm--ities, and d) enviro~mental protection~ There are a variety of reasons we believe the1995 budget meets these goals and priorities, but the principal reason is the very moderate incre~e in the operating por~ien of the ~nm~zl budget. AnnUal, an'd Capital Budget Volume 11~- Annual Buldget ' ' ~ Page .~,~,,~ ~1 Budget Totals The major components of the 1995 Annual BUdg~t ~omp~d to 1994 are as follows: Operating Budget Debt Service Budget Total .~,,,,nl Budget 1994 $ 98.97 mi11ion 53.50 mi11ion '$152.50 million 1995 $100.45 million 58.31 million $158.76 mi11ion The 1995 total is 4.13 percent more than the 1994 total. Debt Service Budget The Debt Service budget rem~in~ a driving force for increases in the Annual Budget. With continuing fiscal effort, the increases have been levelled to an average of 9.2 percent over the next five years. During the past two years, an ad hoc committee of Commissioners reviewed capital projects in depth in an attempt to restrain the growth of debt service. Options such as financing some capital-related projects or activities from operating funds rather than debt will continue to be reviewed. Growth in the area and the concomitant demand for sewerage services, more str/ngent regulatory requirements, and the need for m2intenance on ag/ng portions of the disposal system, however, will continue to exert pressure for increased capital spendl-g. Operating Budget The 1995 Operating Budget itself shows little growth over 1994. It is about $1.5 million more than the 1994 budget. Its 1.5 percent growth is significantly below the forecast 2.7 percent increase in the implicit price deflator for state and local government services. Again thi~ year, the Operating Budget incorporates two important initiatives begun in 1994. First, $2.5 million was added to fund nonpoint sour~ pollution activities pursuant to the Memorand-m of Understanding (MOU) drained in connection with the NPDES/SDS permit for the Metropolitan WWTP. The $2.5 nfillion is appro,~im-tely 1/5 of the $12.35 million the MWCC committed to NPS over a five-year period under the term, of the MOU. Also, $800,000 was added to the Operating Budget for the function's ,m~uded leave liability, contingent upon au actuarial study to determine adequate funding for the liability over a 10-year period. This is a change from 1994, when the proposal was to fund the then-outstanding liability over a three-year period. A plan to fund the liability is required by state law. Here is how the 1994 and 1995 budgets compare including these initiatives. Progr~m.~ Liability Funding Fun~llng for MOU Total Operating Budget Debt Service Budget Total Annual Budget 1994 1995 $ 95.17 mi11ion $ 97.15 million 1.30 million 0.80 million 2.50 .milllon 2.60 million $ 98.97 million $100.45 mHllon 53.50 million 58.31 million $152.50 million $158.76 million and CapYcal Budget Volume i - Annual Budget ~ Page 6 Delivering Customer Priorities Long. term Cost ContrOl g-term cost control, one of our customers'.top priorities, is addressed throughout the Annual Budget. Perhaps the single most important factor for potential e~st control is the capital budget, which is financed by debt service. Not only is the debt service budgeted-in 1995 for debt issued in 1994 and prior years, but capital projects'themSelves may run eight to 10'Y~ears from plan to completion. Review ~ ~he capital budget ~ becoming more searehing. Short. term Cost Control AnOther ~0r factor ~ long-term cost contro~, is the budget for ~aries, wages and benefits, a major third of the organization's budget. A st~ffing analysis initiated early in 1994 resulted in a net redUction of 20 staffjobs and restrictions in hh-hig for other vacancies. The result is a salary and wage Budget for 1995 that is. mar~n~!ly less than 1994, despite a forec~s~ 2.7 percent wage increase. There is, however, 'au increase in the budget'for the employer's s~are of benefits -- from an est. imated 28 percent of s~arieSand wages in 1994 to 29.5 percent in 1995. '[(Forecasts show the employer's share of benefits p,-,~,n~ at 29.5 percent in mid-19~4.) ShOrt-term cost control is demonstrated by thp modest 1.Sperce~ ~:t increase in operating budgets Over- all.~ Further, in constant 1995 dollars, budge~d progr-m costs pe_aked in 1993 and declined in 1994 and 1995.

Moderate ingreases in operating expense help to moderate bi11ings. Another stabilizing influence is ~q~ng the SAC fund transfer for 1994 and 1995. During its deliberations on the _~t~nual budget, the Board of Commissioners fixed the revenue transferred from the Sezvice Availability Charge fund (SAC fund) to the General fund to pay for the future user component of debt service. The transfer percentage ~s-determined by the engineering es~mate completed as part of the budget process and will notbe adjusted for a~ flow at the end of the year. Thi~ me-n~ the SAC tr, n~fer for 1995 will rem-~n at $14.6 million regardless of flow. This eliminates a source of revenue variation and helps stabilize bills to comrn,,n~ties. Effect on Sewer Service Charges Sewer service charges to comm,,n~ties will increase on average 7.7 percent in 1995. Operating costs will increase only 1.5 percent. However, an increase in debt service over 9 percent will drive up charges. An additional factor driving up cb,rges is the lack of a rebate. 1994 charges were cushioned by a $3.4 million rebate to COrnm,m~ties resulting from 1992 operations. The lack of a rebate adds a growth factor to 1995 charges. (See F, wh~bit 2 on following page.) F_alvironmental Protection Environmental proteckion, our final customer priority, is the principal goal of our operations. Our goal is 100 percent compliance with NPDES/SDS discharge permits. In 1993, the treatment plants achieved 99.8 percent compliance with the tough standards set by the permits, and from April 1993 to April 1994, they achieved full compliance. The compliance streak ended in April with a lone exceedance at the Empire Plant. We believe this quality of treatment, combined with cost control, makes Wastewater Services a good ~alue.

This is consistent with state and federal law and accepted practice in wastewater utilities, which call for the utility to be self-sustaining from fees. Notes on Budget Amendments At year-end 1991, there was a favorable variance of $6.5 million ($1.?M from revenues and $4.8M from underspending). The Board authorized $3M to prepay debt service; $3M transfer to reserve (including $2M to use as rebates in 1992) and $0.5M for leave liability (Resolution 93-03). Additionally, $4.2M was spent to remove past ash, backed by a transfer imm the Capital.. Revolving Fund, a subset of the Co~truction Fund, per Resolution 91-88. At year-end 1992, there was a favorable variance of $3.4M ($4.9M from underspending, less $1.6M in revenue shortfall). These funds will be returned to municipalities as a credit on 1994 charges CResolutien 93-26A Revised). Also, a debt reimding brought an added $5.8M transfer from the SAC fund (Resolution 92-249). Fi~slly, $1.9M was spent to remove past ash, ~unded by a trsn,fer of interest earnings from the Constr~ction Fund per Resolution 91-88. The 1993 Budget was amended by $1.5M to remove past ash per Resolution 91-88. At year-end 1993, the budget was balanced by reversing an accrual for leave liability funding. The 1994 amended budget includes the $367,000 rem,;nln~ of the original $8M earmarked for past ash; sh~rw,, as a transfer under revenues and as an addition to program expenditures per Res. 91-88. Also per Res. 94-113 Revised, $4.5M in revenue fi'om the sale of Sco~l_~nd Properties is to be spent to fund air emissions inventory work in 1994 and 1995; then for I & I grants and finally to purchase land for a Southeast Regional Plant. At year end 1994, excess will be transferred to a reserve fund.

Generally these events are held on any given day Monday through Saturday, but can also occur on a Sunday. As we are a community organization, I am requesting the license fees be waived for our Club On Sale Liquor and our Sunday Liquor Sales licenses. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at work (560-8633) or home (571-6591). Thank you for )'our on going assistance - it is greatly appreciated. Lions Club President ..,We Serve ~ FROM NEI COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY TO ?822881 F.02 December 9, 1994 To: RE: The City of Columbia Heights concession fee for special events To Whom It May Concern: On Saturday, December 10, Christmas will come to Columbia Heights-- at least for those kids attending Operation North Pole's party. This event, which wil! be held at NEI College of Technology (825 41St NE, Columbia Heights), is a community outreach meant to provide a special afternoon for area children. For some, it may be the only Christmas they will know. The party is free, and each child receives a tasty lunch, entertainment and a visit with (and gift from) Santa. Parents are also welcome to share in the lunch and entertainment. A selection of new mittens and hats will also be available to those who wish them, again without cost. In the past, as many as 3,000 children have attended. This year, with our new location, we are expecting a smaller group. This event is possible because of generous donations given by various businesses and through the hard work cf many volunteers. Now in its 13th year, Operation North Pole is a nonprofit organization, created for the benefit of others. Ail necessary permits and inspections have been fulfilled, according to requirements. We are asking for the concession fee to be waived as a gesture of support for what we are trying to do. The city of Cctumbia Heights is dedicated to providing for the needs of the community, and we appreciate that concern. This party will be one way of sharing the magic of season with a lot of deserving kids. Thanks so much.
