Mayor Sturdevant.
ROLL CALL
Jolly, Nawrocki, Ruettimann, Peterson, Sturdevant - present
PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION BY STAFF
a. Steer Sealcoatinq in Southwest Quadrant
The City Manager gave a brief history of the City's policy
regarding street sealcoating. There are 1,873 privately owned
parcels, 22 city owned parcels and $ tax forfeit parcels
included in this project.
Engineering and administrative costs are not being included in
the assessment at the direction of the City Council. These
costs are being paid from the City's General Fund.
The Public Works Director reviewed the project. He noted that
the University Avenue service road is being included in the
project. He also noted that the costs being presented are
estimates only.
The estimates for this project are higher than the costs of
the sealcoat project last year as this project is dealing with
older streets and significant surface repair. There is a one
year contractor's guarantee on labor and materials. The City
crews do the patching work.
Councilmember Nawrocki inquired if the problems of vibration
of heavy vehicles and buses on the University Avenue service
road would be alleviated with this sealcoating.
The Public Works Director advised that a skin patch will done
on this stretch of roadway. He also feels the base is problem
free and there is no indication of a soft sub-base. Me
believes the vibration problems will decrease with the
sealcoating.
A resident inquired if state aid funds can only be used for
state aid designated streets. The Public Works Director
responded this is the case and he explained the requirements
of a state aid street.
A one year levy is being recommended with a 9 1/2% interest
rate added to the unpaid balance.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING
MARCH 21, 1994
PAGE 2
Councilmember Nawrocki advised that the interest rate is based
on what was paid for bond money whch supports the PIR Fund. Me
questioned the high percentage of 9 1/2%.
The City Manager suggested the appropriate time for the
Council to set the interest rate would be at the levy hearing
in the Fall. Me felt the interest would probably be in the 5%
to 6% range. Me will prepare a recommendation for a proposed
interest rate for presentation at the levy hearing.
Councilmember Nawrocki requested staff to make a report to the
Council on any information gotten regarding interest rates on
unpaid assessments. Me felt this was information property
owners should have as this will be part of their costs.
Motion by Nawrocki, second by Ruettimann to authorize staff to
proceed with Project #9103, sealcoating of streets in the
southwest quadrant, with the understanding that the interest
rate will be reviewed on unpaid assessments. Roll call: All
ayes
b. Erosion Control on East Bank of LaBelle Park
This proposed project affects fourteen properties. Staff is
recommending that all fourteen properties be assessed equally.
The alternative method of assessment could be on a footage
basis. Administrative and engineering charges have been
recommended for inclusion in this project assessment costs.
The Public Works Director reviewed the proposed project. It
focuses on erosion control on the east bank of LaBelle Park
from 1207 to 1337 Circle Terrace Boulevard. He noted it will
include a mat being installed on the bank slope which is to
stay in place until the turf has been established.
The Minnesota National Guard was contacted regarding its
participation in this project. The work assigned to members of
the National Guard would include clearing the area and
removing existing retaining walls. The participation of the
National Guard would reduce the project costs by about
$81,281.00.
The City has also received commitments for grants from the
Anoka Soil and Water Conservation District for 1992 and 1993
of approximately $30,000 each.
If work on this project has not commenced by July 1, 1994, the
1992 grant will be lost.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT HEARING
MARCH 21, 1994
PAGE 3
The resident at 1251 Circle Terrace is of the opinion that his
property is not experiencing any soil erosion. He feels
property owners should not be assessed for what he views as a
park project.
A former resident of Circle Terrace advised she chose not to
purchase a home on that street because of soil erosion. She
feels the erosion is a direct consequence of a change in
drainage which resulted when a garage was built in 1988. She
also noted this owner placed debris behind the garage
structure and the composition of that debris added to the
problem.
Councilmember Nawrocki was of the opinion that if the
development had not occurred there would be no erosion. He
observed that some properties have been maintained and some
have not.
Discussion continued regarding the effectiveness of the
proposed solutions using a mat. It was felt that youngsters
who live or come to the park may negate its effectiveness
relatively quickly. It was suggested that fencing be installed
both at the bottom and at the top of the slope to deter
youthful activity.
Councilmember Nawrocki acknowledged that there are no
guarantees that the mat will work but it is the most cost
effective way to control the problem and the erosion. He
inquired if staff felt fencing could be a solution for
detering activity. The Public Works Director responded it
could and recommended that two fences be installed.
Councilmember Nawrocki noted it had been suggested that the
properties at 1343, 1349 and 1355 Circle Terrace be included
in the project. He inquired if the public hearing could be
extended to include these three properties and still meet the
deadlines for grant eligibility. The Public Works Director
advised this could be done.
Councilmember Nawrocki stated he could support proceeding with
the project if the assessable costs do not include any
engineering costs and each parcel assessment did not exceed
$3,000 not including interest.
It was noted that since easements are needed for this project
the easement costs will have to be added to the project.

until the regular Council Meeting of Monday, April 25th at

Terrace; that staff is authorized to proceed with parts of the
project short of making any actual contracts; and is to look

Fund. Roll call: All ayes

OPEN MIKE/PRESENTATIONS/PROCLAMATIONS
A resident complimented staff on the recent newsletter
although he noted that the new name of a City park was not
included in it. He also mentioned other items and specific
staff which he felt did not Serve the City well.
Councilmember Nawrocki suggested the resident has a right to
his own opinion, but that the intent of Open Mike was not
served by calling names.
A candidate for Sheriff introduced himself.
The Chairperson of SHINE inquired as to the status of the
hiring of a new police officer. Mayor Sturdevant advised that
currently the Police Department is being restructured. He
stated that plans for the restructuring have been submitted by
the Mayor, Police Chief and the Department's sergeants. He
felt a police officer could be on the streets by Fall.
PUBLIC HEARINGS/RESOLUTIONS/ORDINANCES
a. Public Hearing - Condemnation, 3950 Second Street
The City Manager read the Findings of Fact and the suggested
conclusions. Noting the age of the house, Councilmember
Nawrocki felt Findings 1 and 2 did not apply.
Mark Bohline, the current owner, advised the Council he has
not resided in the house for some time. He intended to raze
the house but has not had the funds to do this. He inquired if
there were options for removing the house which could include
a planned burn by the Fire Department.
Fire Chief Kewatt stated the house is too small and would be
of no value as a training tool for the Fire Department.
Mr. Bohline said he felt he could raze the structure and clean
up the lot in approximately two months. Discussion continued
regarding the time frame needed to execute the condemnation.
It was noted that if the City removes the structure,
associated costs would be levied against the property.
Members of the Council had additional questions regarding teh
Findings of Fact. It was recommended that this issue be tabled
until it could be reviewed by the City Attorney later in the

b. Public Mearinq Reqardin~ Homestead Classification of 3932
Central Avenue (ACCAP Theater Heiqhts Projects)
ACCAP is requesting the Council to ~rant homestead
classification to the building at 3932 Central Avenue. This
classification would provide for a tax s~vings. ACCAP will use
these savings to either finance additional improvements or
reduce rent for seniors and disabled.
The criteria set by State Statute was reviewed for property to
receive the classification of homestead. The City Attorney
read the necessary Findings.
Councilmember Nawrocki felt the first finding did not apply to
this building. He noted that the buildin~ facilitates clean,
safe, affordable housin~ in its current state which does not
include the homestead classification. This was the first
findin~ for a homestead classification.
Councilmember Nawrocki also noted that additional funding is
not needed to meet the requirments of the State. Taxpayers
have already had their dollars used by the MMFA which
contributed to the purchase of this building. He observed that
the value placed on the property is now lower than what ACCAP
recently paid for it.
Jeff Johnson, ACCAP's Housin~ Development Specialist, advised
that the City will annually receive those taxes lost from
having this building designated as a homesteaded property.
Councilmember Nawrocki again stated his position that the
purchase package was put together without the additional
funding; that the focus of the building will be low income
rather than senior citizens, and that the first finding cannot
be met.
Motion by Nawrocki to table this matter. Motion dies for lack
of a second.
Motion by Nawrocki that the request be denied on the basis of
the fact that the homestead treatment has been shown not to be
needed to provide safe, clean affordable housing for the
cooperative members. Motion dies for lack of a second.
ACCAP's leoal counsel felt the interpretation of the findings,
specifically the word "facilitate", is open for
interpretation.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 28, 1994

The City Attorney felt the interpretation by Councilmember
Nawrocki was adequately stated and it was not wide open and
broad.
Councilmember Peterson supports the upgrade of the building as
does Councilmember Jolly. Councilmember Jolly indicated he
will abstain from the vote as he has a relative on the ACCAP
Board.

additional undercarriage work for the float.
City pay for
Gary Mayers, representing the Committee, advised the Council
that in its current condition it is unsafe. He also mentioned
that the towing vehicle, which is a City truck, was not very
clean and he would appreciate the use of a different vehicle.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 28, 1994
PAGE 5
The Public Works Director advised the estimated costs for
putting another axle in the float are about $1,100. He also
said he would make an effort to find another towing vehicle
although the current one is the newest truck in the City's
fleet.
Councilmember Nawrocki felt the costs should be taken from the
$6,700 already allocated in the adopted budget for Queen
events and not from other sources.
Councilmember Ruettimann inquired who owns the float. He
questioned if it is not owned by the City. Councilmember
Nawrocki stated it is not owned by the City.

Dear Ms. Nygaard:
Subject: Plumbing for Jake Cadwallader Residence, 4655 Fifth Street, Columbia
Heiqhts, Anoka CountY, Minnesota
The Minnesota Plumbing Code was founded upon certain basic principles of
environmental sanitation and safety through proper design and acceptable
methods. Some of the details of plumbing construction may vary, but the
basic sanitary and safety principles are to protect the health of the people.
A representative of the Minnesota Department of Health, Plumbing Unit, made an
inspection on the above-named project on January 31, 1994. The following
items are in violation of the Minnesota Plumbing Code.
BASEMENT
1. No water distribution line under ~-inch may be concealed {see Minn.
Rules, p. 4715.1730, subp. 1).
2. Verify that under conditions of peak'demand a minimum flow pressure at
the point of discharge shall not be less than the required minimum flow
pressure and flow rates on the potable water distribution lines {see
Minn. Rules, p. 4715.1770, subp. i and subp. 2).
$. Individual shut-offs are required on all fixtures to permit the water
supply to be shut off to the fixture without interference with the water
supply to any other room or portion of the building (see Minn. Rules,
p. 4715.1800, subp. 6}.
4. The shower drain is not vented according to code {see Minn. Rules,
p. 4715.1300, subp. 4 and p. 4715.0920).
5. Hangers are required at 32-inch intervals when using PVC plastic in
the horizontal position for drainage (see Minn. Rules, p. 4715.1430,
subp. 4F}.
6. The water closet for the front unit is not vented according to code (see
Minn. Rules, p. 4715.0920}.
7. The copper fittings used to receive drainage from the shower and
the kitchen sink are not approved for this usage (see Minn. Rules,
p. 4715.0580 D).
8. The short pattern tee used to receive the kitchen sink waste is not
approved for this usage (see Minn. Rules, p. 4715.2410, and
p. 4715.0580 D}.
g. A full size cleanout is required at or nor the base of the 2-inch stack
by the shower (see Minn. Rules, p. 4715.1000}.
10. The shower in the front unit is not vented according to code {see Minn.
Rules, p. 4715.2540, subp.

The relief valve discharge must be piped full size and run to within
18 inches of the floor or a safe place of disposal (see Minn. Rules,
p. 4715.2210, subp. 4).
SIDE UNIT
1. The ballcock installed in the water closet tank is not code approved
(see Minn. Rules, p. 4715.2150, subp. 2).
FRONT UNIT
1. The ballcock installed in the water closet tank is not installed
according to code {see Minn. Rules, p. 4715.2150, subp. 2).
UPPER LEVEL
1. The trap on the lavatory shall not be made up with fittings (see Minn.
Rules, p. 4715.0960).
2. The overflow for the bathtub is not code approved. Standing water in the
fixture must not rise in the overflow when the stopper is closed, nor
shall any water remain in the overflow when the fixture is empty (see
Minn. Rules, p. 4715.1220, subp. 3).
3. An access panel is required to make the slip joint connections accessible
for inspection and repair on the bathtub waste and overflow (see Minn.
Rules, p. 4715.1220 and p. 4715J0940).

FOR THE WATER CONTINUALLY RUNNING ON THE FLOOR, THE SHOWER
DOES DRAIN WITHOUT WATER RUNNING ONTO THE FLOOR, WHEN THE
SHOWER WAS PLUGGED BY A KID TOY DID IT RUN OVER ONTO THE
FLOOR, THIS WAS CAUSED BY A PLUG, NOT DESIGN. THE ROTTEN AND
SOGGY FLOOR, THE FLOOR WAS NEVER SOGGY (WET) IT WAS SOFT IN
THE MANNER OF SEPARATED PLYWOOD THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED AND
APPROVED BY THE INSPECTION DEPARTMENT AT THIS SA/4E
INSPECTION, THAT IS WHY IT IS STATED AS "HAS BEEN NOTED",
ALSO THE ONLY TIME THIS WAS NOTED ON THE INSPECTIONS WAS ON
THE INSPECTIONS STARTING JAN OF THIS YEAR.

THAT THE WINDOWS WERE DRAFTY, THEY HAD NOT LOWERED THE STORM
WINDOWS. WE HAVE RECEIVED NO OTHER COMPLAINTS. THE ORDNANCE
CALLS FOR ONLY "PROPERLY INSTALLED AND IN SkFE CONDITION" AND
"70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AT A DISTANCE OF THREE FEET AROVE
FLOOR LEVEL AND THREE FEET FROM EXTERIOR WALLS" NOTHING IN
THE CODE WOULD CALL FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FURNACE, AS IT

Re: 4655 5th St. N.E.
Mr. Lowell DeMars and Evelyn Nygaard,
After our meeting and discussion the other day I feel it
would be beneficial specify what I have previously requested,
and would like to understand before the next meeting.
I am interested in determining what specific code section
the issued orders are based upon. The request is not for a
general sighting of the housing code. I have answered many of
these in the application for hearing that has been filed.
What I am looking for is the specific basis for the orders by
code number and paragraph. If the basis is by uniform code I
would like to have the specific paragraph of that code.
Please be compete and list alt applicable codes.
There was also a statement in the staff report sighting a
letter that gave the order to pursue non-conforming uses of
property in the City and remove them. I would like to see a
copy of that letter to understand the position that the City
is taking at this time.
I am interested in setting a meeting with both of you after I
have received this information and have had time to
understand the basis for the position that the City has
taken.
If you have any questions or need further clarification of
what is necessary for a knowledgeable discussion on this
matter please, give me a call.
Sincerely,
Jake~x Cadwa 11 ader

DATE= $EPTE~ER 27, 1~91
Several weeks ago, we held a discussion on the subject of licensing non-
conforming houses. This discussion arose out of the house at 4417 Fifth
Street NE which has a stairway which is nonconforming.
This subject vas reviewed with our City Attorney. The Attorney has advised
me in the strongest possible terms that the City should not issues licenses
to non-conforming dwellings. The issuance of the license has an implied
meaning that the building is safe and in compliance with local building
laws. Should an accident occur at this location, there is no doubt in the
Attorney's mind that we would be sued and that we would have very limited
grounds to base defense on. Based on the Attorney's recommendation, we will
not be licensing non-conforming homes. Such rental property will have to be
brought into compliance or turned into owner-occupied dwellings.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

SPECIAL MEETING - MINUTES
FEBRUARY 22, 1994
PAGE 1
The special meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission held February 22, 1994 was called
to order at 6:00 p.m. Members present were Fowler, Hanson, Larson, Peterson and Szurek.
Also present were Evelyn Nygaard (Building/Zoning Administrator) and LeAnn Bocwinski
(representing the City Attorney's Office).
Amendment to Site Plan
Case #9402-07
Stiles Sports Bars, Inc.
d/b/a BoxSeat Restaurant
4005 Central Avenue
Evelyn Nygaard presented the problem existing at the Columbia Heights Mall regarding the Box
Seat Restaurant and Sports Bar soon to open at 4005 Central Avenue. She stated that the exit
on the west side of the building (facing the parking lot) needs alteration to provide a landing
on both sides of the doorway. She explained that the problem was addressed on the
construction drawings, but, due to a lack of communication between owner and contractor, this
has not been resolved as of this date.
Patrick Fisher of Wolfpack Properties, representing the owners of Columbia Heights Mall, was
present along with Dan Stiles of the BoxSeat Restaurant to request assistance from the Planning
and Zoning Commission to determine the best method to fulfill the requirements of the State
Building Code as it pertains to exits and required landings.
A number of options were discussed. Mr. Fisher stated he would prefer to not have the landing
set inside the building so as to avoid any security problems such as people sleeping inside the
doorway. He explained that this exit on the west side of the building would only be utilized
as an emergency exit, not to enter the building. The main entrance would be on the 40th
Avenue side of the building, and is handicap accessible. Mr. Fisher also stated that if any
material changes are made to the Mall, some of the tenant leases require him to gain tenant
approval of the proposed changes. However, in this case, his lawyers' opinion was that this
would not require tenant approval.
Commissioner Larson felt the main concern was the safety of senior citizens and the general
public walking on the adjacent sidewalk indicating that any change in elevation in the sidewalk
area be very well marked.
It was agreed that the door be set into the wall a minimum of fourteen (14) inches. A concrete
landing of forty-four (44) inches out from the face of the building would be installed with one
step down on the south end of the landing. A railing will be required oa the north and west
side of the landing to direct the flow of travel out the door and to the left toward 40th Avenue.
This method would cause minimal encroachment on the existing sidewalk and would still leave
ample walkway around the landing.
Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to approve the amendment to the site plan as
developed and agreed upon at this meeting by the owner, tenant, City Staff and Commission
members regarding alterations to the west exit to conform to the Building Code. Roll Call: All
Ayes.

Conditional Use Permit
Case #9404-08
Columbia Heights Ace Hardware
2261 N.E. 37th Avenue
Columbia Heights, Mn.
Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of the Columbia Heights Ace Hardware for a Conditional
Use Permit to allow the operation of a 48' x 24' tent for the sales of flowers and green plants
in the parking lot of their store at 2261 N.E. 37th Avenue from April 15 to July 1, 1994. She
stated that the operation is similar to the 1993 operation that was approved.
A memo was submitted from the Fire Department regarding requirements under Article 32 of
the Minnesota Uniform Fire Code pertaining to tents, canopies and temporary membrane
structures. No one was in attendance from Ace Hardware to address these concerns. Evelyn
Nygaard stated that she would advise the applicants from Ace Hardware of these requirements.
Motion by Fowler, seconded by Peterson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of
the Conditional Use Permit to allow a temporary tent in the parking lot of 2261 N.E. 37th
Avenue provided all requirements of Article 32 of the Minnesota Uniform Fire Code are
addressed and that a $500 deposit is submitted to the City prior to the installation of the tent.
Roll Call: All Ayes.

Variance
Case #9404-11
Bruce Fischbach
4212 Washington Street N.E.
Columbia Heights, Mn.
Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. and Mrs. Fischbach for a variance to allow a non-
conforming duplex on a lot having less than the required 8,400 square foot of land area. She
explained that a building permit to construct an apartment on the upper level of this building
was issued in January of 1990. The permit stated ~non-conforming use, previously in
existance". Records in the City Water Department indicate this building was never billed as a
duplex. ~
Ms. Nygaard informed the Commission that the building permit was renewed in September of
1992 as the work was not completed. That permit has now expired and the work is not
completed. She stated the Mnon-conforming~ section of the Zoning Ordinance requires that, if
the non-conforming use ceases for six months, the use must be brought into conformance. She
felt the Fischback's have made a considerable investment which was initially approved by the
former building inspector. If they are unable to use the building as a duplex, they would incur
considerable costs to return the building to a single family use.
Mr. and Mrs. Fischbach were present and stated that the rental unit will be a one-bedroom unit
and that there is a two car garage as well as two other parking spaces provided on the lot.
Dave Peterson of 4226 N.E. 7th Street stated that he realizes that a lot of money has been spent
in the remodel of the rental unit. However, he is opposed to allowing two family dwellings on
a forty foot lot and that the City would be setting a precedent in this case. He stated his
opposition to the rental unit on the second floor.

John Lonsky of 4209 Washington Street stated his support for the Fischbach's and the remodel
of the second floor rental unit. He stated that the unit had been in existance as long as he could
remember.
Mrs. Adam Chudek of 4208 Washington Street also voiced her support stating the upper portion
of the house at 4212 Washington Street had been rental until the Fischbach's purchased the
property.
Motion by Fowler, seconded by Larson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the
variance to allow a non-conforming two family dwelling at 4212 Washington Street with the
provision that, if the structure was ever damaged to 50% or more of its fair market value, the
variance would be null and void and use Of the land would be required to be only for a single
family dwelling. Roll Call: All Ayes.

Dan Stiles/Boxseat Restaurant
4005 Central Avenue N.E.
Columbia Heights, Mn.
Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Mr. Stiles for the Boxseat Restaurant at 4005 Central
Avenue for a variance of 20 square feet to allow a total of 100 square feet of wall signage. She
explained that the Sign Ordinance section for the Central Business District allows a maximum
of two square feet per front foot of building or portion thereof. The Boxseat Restaurant has
40 lineal feet of frontage and would be entitled to a total of 80 square feet of signage.
The original tenant, Bishops Restaurant, had more frontage and was entitled to 100 square feet
of wall signage. When that tenant space was split, the signage was not changed in size.
Mr. Stiles was in attendance and indicated that the signage he is proposing will be the same as
what has been there previously. If he has to make changes, it could be costly as it involves a
canopy.
Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the
20 square foot sign variance to allow a total of 100 square feet of wall signage at 4005 Central
Avenue due to the hardship of the location of the business on the lot. Roll Call: All Ayes.

Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of Wallace Auto Parts for a Conditional Use Permit to
allow a truck/trailer rental operation of a limited number of vehicles (3 trucks/3 trailers) on
a designated area of their property located at 4807 University Avenue. Mr. Schnedecker, owner
of Wallace Auto Parts, stated that the rental area would be in the northeast corner of the
property behind the "radiator building".
Staff recommended that the signage be examined for conformance to the Sign Ordinance and
that, due to this proposed intensification of the business, the signage must conform.
Motion by Peterson, seconded by Fowler, to recommend to the City Council the approval of

James and Renee Kelly
RE: 4219 Stinson Boulevard
Columbia Heights, Mn.
Evelyn Nygaard presented the request of James and Renee Kelly for a front yard setback
variance of 84.31 feet to locate the front of their proposed house at 4219 Stinson Boulevard at
a distance of 134.31 feet from the front property line. She stated that this would allow them
to build the new home in line with the existing homes in the area.
Section 9.116(16)(b) of the Zoning Ordinance states "In any "R" District where the average
depth of the front yard for buildings within 200 feet of the lot in question and within the same
block front is lesser or greater than that required by Ordinance, the required front yard for the
lot in question shall be the average plus or minus 10% of the depth; however, the depth of the
required front yard shall not be less than 10 feet nor more than fifty feet."
She felt a hardship would exist as all other homes in the immediate area are set farther back on
the lot in excess of the maximum fifty foot frontage.
It was the concensus of the Commission members that the location of the house as required by
Ordinance would look strange.
Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to recommend to the City Council the approval of the
84.31 foot front yard setback variance at 4219 Stinson Boulevard due to the unusual
circumstances of all other homes in the immediate area being in excess of the maximum fifty

STAFF REPORTS.
A. Staff presented draft amendments to the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Home
Occupations. Staff spent considerable time reviewing ordinances from other cities pertaining
to how home occupations are regulated. Due to a number of inquiries from home owners
related to the operation of various businesses from the home as well as a request from the
Mayor, Staff has prepared these amendments so that the Ordinance can be updated and the
moratorium lifted.
It was the concensus of the Commissioners that a need exists to have specific guidelines
pertaining to the operation of home occupations as more and more people are finding it
necessary to conduct business from the home.
Motion by Larson, seconded by Fowler, to recommend to the City Council the following
amendments to the Zoning Ordinance pertaining to Home Occupations:
Section 1:
Section 9.103(31) of Ordinance 853, City Code of 1977, which currently reads
as follows, to wit:
9.103(31) Home Occupations: Any gainful occupation meeting all of the following
requirements: When engaged in only by persons residing in the dwelling, which does not
require additional parking, when evidence of the occupation is not visible from the street, when
the principal structure becomes the base of operation for that occupation, and when not
involving the retail sales on the site of products produced off the site.
is herewith amended to read as follows:
9.103(31) Home Occupation: Any gainful occupation or profession engaged in by an occupant
of a dwelling unit. Such use must be clearly incidental and secondary to the principal use of
the dwelling for residential purposes and shall not change the residential character of the
dwelling or have an adverse effect on adjacent properties nor constitute a nuisance or safety
hazard.
Section 2: Section 9.107(3)(d) of Ordinance 853, City Code of 1977, which currently reads
as follows, to wit:
9.!07(3)(d) Home Occupations subject to an annual renewal and reapplicatlon if it has
changed in scale or character.
is herewith amended to read as follows:
9.107(3)(d) Home Occupations, subject to the following requirements:
1. The home occupation is clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use of the
property and does not change the character thereof.

is permitted.
4. The home occupation must be conducted entirely within the principal building. The
entrance to the space denoted to the home occupation shall be within the dwelling.
5. No interior or exterior alterations and no construction features shall be permitted which are
not customarily found in a dwelling.
6. The home occupation shall meet all applicable fire and building codes as well as any other
applicable City, State or Federal regulations.
7. At no time shall the home occupation generate traffic or parking that exceeds the type and
level which typically service single family residences as regulated under 9.116 of the Zoning
Ordinance Parking requirements. Such traffic and parking shall not constitute a nuisance or
safety hazard. No such parking facilities shall be provided within any required front or side
yard, except upon an established blacktop or concrete driveway.
8. Signage pertaining to the home occupation will be allowed on the premises not to exceed one
square foot and provided it be attached flat to the wall of the structure and not be illuminated.
9. Specific activities prohibited in residential zoning districts:

B. Massage establishments, including those for therapeutic massage and
acupuncture, or escort services.
C. Retail sales.
D. Manufacturing operations.
E. Animal hospitals and kennels.

is herewith amended to read as follows:
~ Any home occupation which does not meet the specific requirements for a
permitted home occupation as defined in 9.107(3)(d) and to include the following:
1. One employee may be allowed if the applicant can satisfactorily prove unusual or unique
conditions for the need of one employee and that this exception would not compromise the
intent of this code. Prior to approval of the Conditional Use Permit, it shall be found that the
home occupation would not otherwise require a Conditional Use Permit and that such impact
of the home occupation on the surrounding neighborhood is no greater than that of a home
occupation without such employee that requires a Conditional Use Permit.
2. If the home occupation is conducted in the garage, the minimum amount of required garage
space must be maintained as garage space.
3. Conditional Use Permits for home occUpations shall not run with the property, shall not be
transferable from one person to another, and are subject to review if the use changes in scale
or character.
Roll Call: All Ayes.
B. Don Schneider updated the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the Sheffield Area
stating the target block included the 4600 block of Fillmore and Pierce Streets consisting of 20
lots. The proposal is to reduce the area to 16 lots, remove the alley and rezone to R-1 to
construct single family dwellings. He stated that the City currently owns 15 of the 20 duplexes
in the area in addition to three outside of the target area. Mr. Schneider sought the Commis-
sions feeling regarding the construction of townhouses in this area. It was the concensus of the
Commission that townhouses not be allowed as they could end up being rental. The
Commissioners preferred the larger lots and no alleys.
Motion by Larson, seconded by Peterson, to adjourn the meeting at 8:15 p.m. Roll Call: All
Ayes.

LEAGUE OF MINNESOTA CITIES PRESIDENT DECLARES CITY
UNITY DAY.
"Thursday, April 21st, will be the first City Unity Day." League of Minnesota Cities
President and Mayor of St. Cloud Chuck Winkelman declared. "The League of Cities Board
of Directors has authorized a City Unity Rally at the State Capitol to demonstrate that all city
officials throughout the state are working together to improve the delivery of city services to
the over four million people who live, work and receive an education in one of our
communities."
The city of at its meeting on
the declaration of Cities Unity Day, according to Mayor
joined in
"Residents of Minnesota Cities appreciate the ability of cities to provide services at a
reasonable cost," League President Winkleman continued. "Drinkable water, plowed and
maintained streets, sanitary sewer systems, parks and recreation programs, police and fire
protection are all taken for granted. But city government leaders are also working to
improve the local economy, ensuring that there are decent jobs and adequate housing for
all."
"To do this, city government needs fiscal stability," Winkelman adds, "Every city would like
to be fiscally independent from state assistance, but the local property tax base often is
inadequate to provide the financial resources to achieve this goal. The state contributes about
five percent (just over five hundred million dollars) of its annual revenues to help cities
maintain these services. This assistance to cities, in the form of homestead agricultural
credit aid and local government aid, helps us to keep property taxes down."
"If the Legislature and the Governor would help us strengthen our own local economies we
could rely even less on state aids, and an improved property tax base would mean lower
taxes for all."

The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of Ace Hardware for a
Conditional Use Permit to allow the installation of a sales tent for the sales of
green and flowering plants in the parking lot of 2261 N.E. 37th Avenue from April
15 through July 1, 1994. The operation would be the same as approved in 1993.
Concerns of the Fire Department were reviewed pertaining to Article 32 of the
Minnesota Uniform Fire Code regarding tents, canopies and temporary membrane
structures. No one was present from Ace Hardware. Evelyn Nygaard informed the

The Garden Mart retail greenhouse trans-
forms parking lot space into a complete,
outdoor garden center. Combining plant
protection and customer comfort, the
Garden Mart extends the selling season by
reducing product shrinkage.
Easy set up and tear down make the
Garden Mart an ideal temporary selling
structure. Poly water-filled tubes or
concrete blocks anchor the steel hoop
structure, eliminating the need for perma-
nent footings. Collapsible sidewalks
provide natural ventilation during warm
weather and insulation against early spring
frost, Multi-level benches display products
while also storing inventory.
The Garden Mart measures 21-feet wide and comes in lengths of 48, 60 and 96 feet. For more information on the Garden
Mart, contact Poly-Tex, Inc., P.O. Box 458, Castle Rock, MN 55010, or call 800-852-3443.

NO: 7 Planning and Zoning APPROVAL
ITEM: Variance, Bruce Fischbach BY: Evelyn Nygaard ~*~ B~~
NO: Case #9404-11, 4212 Washington St. DATE: April 6, 1994
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of Bruce Fischbach for a
variance to allow a non-conforming duplex on property having less than 8,400 square
feet of land area. A building permit to construct an apartment on the upper level
of this structure was obtained in 3anuary of 1990. The permit reads "non-conforming
use previously in existance" However, the ~ater Department tells us that this
property has never been billed as a duplex.
The permits were renewed in September of 1992 because the construction was not
finished. The permits have now expired and our "non-conforming" section of the
Zoning Ordinance requires that, if the non-conforming use ceases for six months, the
use must then be conformin§.
The Fischbach's have made a considerable investment which was initially approved by
the former Building Inspector and, if they are unable to use this as rental
property, would incur a lot of costs to reconvert it to single family use. There
was no attempt to deceive the City, only a lack of information.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the variance with the
provision that, if the structure was ever damaged to 50Z or more of its fair market
value, the variance would be null and void and use of the land would be required to
be only for a single family dwelling.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to approve the variance for 4212 Washington Street with the provisions that if
the structure was ever damaged to 50Z or more of its fair market value,
(9.104(3)(e)) the variance would be null and void and use of tke land would be
required to be only for a single family dwelling.
ALTERNATE MOTION:
Move to deny the variance for 4212 Washington Street.

ITEM: Variance, BoxSeat Restaurant BY: Evelyn Nygaard :J ~f~ By~~
NO: Case ~9404-12, 4005 Central DATE: April 6, 1994 ~ ~
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of Dan Stiles and the
BoxSeat Restaurant proposed for 4005 Central Avenue for a 20 square foot variance
to allow a total of 100 square feet of wall signage. The Sign Ordinance for the
Central Business District allows a maximum of two square feet per front foot of
building or portion thereof. The BoxSeat has 40 lineal feet of frontage and is,
therefore, only entitled to 80 square feet of signage. However, the fact that they
are located far back from Central Avenue and have their entrance on 40th Avenue,
could be considered a hardship due to location on the lot. The old Bishops
Restaurant had more frontage and was entitled to 100 square feet of signage.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the 20 square foot sign
variance to allow a total of 100 square feet of wall signage at 4005 Central Avenue
due to the hardship of the location of the business on the lot.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to approve the request for a variance of twenty square feet for wall signage
at 4005 Central Avenue.

APPROVAL
The Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the request of James and Renee Kelly,
the owners of the lot located at 4219 Stinson Boulevard, to locate the front of
their proposed new home at a distance of 134.31 feet from the front lot line. This
would allow them to build their new home in line with the existing homes in the
area.
Section 9.116(16) of the Zoning Ordinance states "In any "R" District where the
average depth of the front yard for buildings within 200 feet of the lot in
questions and within the same block front is lesser or greater than that required
by Ordinane, the required front yard for the lot in questions shall be the average
plus or minus 10% of the depth; however, the depth of the required front yard shall
not be less than ten feet nor more than fifty feet".
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of the 84.31 front yard
setback variance at 4219 Stinson due to the unusual circumstances of all the homes
in the immediate area being in excess of the maximum fifty foot frontage.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to approve the request for a variance of 84.31 feet to the required front
setback due to the unusual circumstances of all other homes in the immediate area
being in excess of the maximum fifty (50) foot frontage.
ALTERNATE MOTION:
Move to deny the request for a variance of 84.31 feet tO the required maximum front
yard depth of fifty feet.

MARCH 25, 1994
The Engineering Department has the following comments concerning the proposed grading plan
for 4219 Stinson Blvd. This does not constitute the Department's review for the building permit.
Door threshold elevations and proposed grade should be reviewed. Steps or additional
retaining walls are needed.
Rate of runoff from the tot cannot increase; therefore, the property owner cannot connect
to the City storm sewer system.
3. The Final Site Drainage Plan must be submitted to Rice Creek Watershed District
(RCWD) for review because the construction is within 1,000 ft. of a public water.
The permit must be completed and submitted to Rice Creek by the property owner. The
Final Site Drainage Plans must address Storm Water Management Plan and Grading and
Erosion Sediment Control Plan. Preparation of those plans must be done by the owner's
representative, not the City.

CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT DATE: 4-8-94 DATE:
3909 POLK ST. N.E.
NO: 8 B
This public hearing was originally slated for a March 28, 1994, hearing to consider
condemnation of a hazardous and substandard structure. The delay was due to the property
being repossessed by the mortgage company and a redemption period being established.
The water has been shut off due to an overdue bill.
Thus, it is necessary to re-establish a public hearing date of April 25, 1994, to consider
condemnation of property located at 3909 Polk Street in order to be assured that this property
is either brought into compliance or razed before being occupied again.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to establish April 25, 1994, as a Public Hearing to Consider
Condemnation of Property Located at 3909 Polk St.

ITEM: AUTHORIZE APPRAISALS FOR PROPOSED BY: PAT HENTGES BY: ¢-~
PROPERTY ACQUISITION DATE: 4-8-94 DATE:
NO: 8 C
As previously directed, the City and/or HRA Staff have met or actively negotiated with five
remaining owners of property located on the 4600 block between Pierce Street and Fillmore
Street in the Sheffield neighborhood. Currently, the city owns fifteen of the twenty duplex
parcels located on the block. To complete the acquisition and eventual re-development of the
block, it is necessary to acquire the five remaining parcels.
The HRA or City Staff have met with each of the five property owners. We have either been
unsuccessful in getting the owner to disclose a sale price or alternatively, they have
rejected our individual offers. For the most part, four of the five property owners have
requested that the City present a price based upon an independent appraisal. In my view,
negotiations are stalled unless appraisals are assembled on each of the properties. I am
recommending that an initial appraisal be done on each property and if necessary, a second
independent appraisal be assembled. City Staff has already ordered an appraisal on one of the
parcels, viewed at one of the higher valued duplexes of similar design, within the
neighborhood. I will forward information on that appraisal when it becomes available.
Therefore, I would recommend that appraisals be ordered on the following five properties:
4648-50 Pierce Street, 4631-33 Fillmore Street, 4619-21 Fillmore Street, 4601-01 Fillmore
Street, and 4624-26 Pierce Street
On receipt of the first group of appraisals, city staff will meet with the City Council to
discuss any further negotiations.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize two independent appraisals on five properties located
on 4600's block between Fillmore Street and Pierce Street with $3,600 funding authorized from
Fund No. 410-46500-3050.

NO: 8 E,
City and HRA staff have met with Holmes and Graven, concerning plan modifications to the
Sheffield Redevelopment and Housing Development Plan, calling for approval of final financing
for the project. Essentially, the plan modifications will identify and approval final source
and uses of funds for the project including PHRA tax levy, CDBG allocations, and Liquor Funds.
The plan will also modify the Central Business District Redevelopment Area in an effort to
allow any excess or unencumbered funds of the Tax Increment District as a repayment source of
funding for the HRA tax levy and/or the Liquor Funds.
The HRA will be reviewing the matter at a near future meeting and the Planning Commission will
also be asked to provide a recommendation. These two steps require that the hearing be moved
from the April 25th meeting to the May 9th regular City Council meeting.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to re-establishment public hearing from April 25, 1994, to May 9,
1994 on the plan modifications of the Sheffield Redevelopment and Housing Development Plan,

The City's evaluation of buildings and facilities adopted by the City Council on March 8, 1993
identified changes needed to provide for accessibility and compliance with the Americans With
Disabilities Act.
The existing entrance doors to City Hall on Mill Street, the entrance doors to MurzynHali on
Mill Street and the rear entrance door at the Library are not readily accessible to
individuals in wheelchairs or to those who may use "walkers" for assistance for walking or for
those who may not have sufficient strength to manually open the doors. The addition of power
actuated (automatic) doors would solve this problem by making at least one entrance door
readily accessible to physically disabled individuals at all three of these City owned
buildings.
Monies are available through the Community Development Block Grant Funds for this project.
P~ECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to authorize Staff to seek bids for adding power actuated (automatic) doors to City Hall,

Dear Mr. Hamer:
RE:

MINNEAPOLIS, MN
This letter confirms our three-way phone conversation with yourself
and Mr. Mark Winson, Director of Public Works for the City of
Columbia Heights, on Monday December 20, 1993 concerning a proposed
rubber crossing surface at the above location.
Soo Line would provide, at its expense: Labor, material and
equipment to remove the existing crossing material; reconstruct the
rail, ties and ballast through the complete crossing area; install
rubber surfaced crossing material through the traveled roadway;
provide and install treated hardwood crossing timber through the
shoulder and sidewalk areas as required; and remove the abandoned
east bound main line from the crossing surface. The City will
provide, at its expense: Necessary traffic control, signs, and
detours during reconstruction of the crossing; rubber surfaced
crossing material; replacement of the asphalt/concrete pavement; and
disposal of existing crossing surface.
The city should purchase the rubber crossing surface directly.
The anticipated cost of rubber crossing material is between $170 and
$200 per foot. We suggest you obtain price quotations from the
following suppliers which are acceptable to Soo Line Railroad.
The rubber crossing would be for Soo Line standard 115 pound
continuous welded rail. Tapered end plates are not required.

MA~UHORTER DATE: 4-8-94 DAT
NO: 9 J
Enclosed please find the reSignation'of David Mawhorter as Police Chief effective October 2,
1994. Mr. Mawhorter approached the Mayor and City Manager regarding his interest to resign.
After discussions, it was decided that his resignation should be established October 2, 1994,
so as to aid with the transition and replacement of the Chief's position.
In consideration for the six month transition period, the Mayor and City Manager offered Mr.
Mawhorter the city's share of medical insurance of $270 per month to be paid for the month of
October, November, and December. All other severance benefits will be subject to the
conditions Outlined in the Public Manager's Association agreement which essentially calls for
only payment of accrued VaCation and one quarter of accrued sick leave.
During the transition period, Mr. Mawhorter will assist the City Manager~handling various
administrative functions, unfinished projects, and activities for the Police Department. At
this point, the Mayor has not finalized any plans concerning realignment of responsibilities
during the transition period. It is my understanding that Mr. Sturdevant will be meeting with
the Civil Service COmmission to discuss Chief appointment plans in the very near future.
The establishment of a six month resignation required an additional consideration for the
health insurance contribution, and accordingly specific authorization of the City Council is
required. Please note that the contribution will not be paid.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to accept the resignation of David P. Mawhorter as Police Chief
effective October 2, 1994; subject to consideration that the employer's share of health
insurance benefits is paid from October 3, 1994, through December 31, 1994, payment of normal
employee service benefits of accrued vacation and percentage of sick leave; and further that
the Mayor and City Manager, in cooperation with the Police make appropriate arrangements to
assure an orderly transition of responsibility during the period prior to October 2, 1994.

DEPARTMENTAL GOALS:
1993 AUDIT
Staff is making slow but steady progress on the completion of the 1993 audit
process. The auditors have completed all of their work. It is strictly at a staff
level to complete the financial documents. Due to a vacancy in the department,
illness, and a worker's comp injury, this whole process is running approximately
one month behind schedule.
1995 BUDGET
Under the direction of the City Manager, Finance Department staff has done a
major revision in the format of the 1995 budget. This included a complete rewrite
of the budget preparation instruction manual, along with budget preparation forms.
In the new format, the new budget document will provide all of the essential
information that was in the previous document, and much better narrative
descriptions for each department and activity area of the City. It is anticipated
that the new document will be much easier for the layman to use and understand,
and will give everyone a clearer picture of the City's budget.

OPEN HOUSE AT PARKVIEW VILLAt MAY 17
(10:00 a.m. to approximately 4:00 p.m.)
As per our telephone call today, I request that you discuss with the
PVHC residents about the possibility of having an Open House in the
Parkview Villa Housing Complex on May 17. We would like to coordinate
the PVHC Open House with our celebration of our HRA's 25th Anniversary
and the city Open House on the same day.
It would be great if we could have the building open to the public with
one or two vacant apartments (if any are available then) open for
viewing by the public. The HRA could furnish cookies and coffee with
the assistance of some of the residents. We could have information
available on the building, along with applications forms. Others?
Please advise me as soon as possible as to the interest of the
residents and their ideas.

6) ENVELOPE SPECIAL'rn=-S
Mr. Miske of Envelope Specialties has requested that he be allowed to occupy his building located at
455 37th Avenue N.E. As you are aware, construction delays on the project will prevent him from
completing the building before the March 1st, 1994, deadline as outlined in the redeveIopment
agreements with the HRA. Mr. Miske has asked that temporary use of the building be allowed while
he completes some of the interior and exterior work. The building code does allow a temporary
occupancy permit. The permit can be issued with conditions outlining utilization of the building and
with a specific deadline or expiration date. I have asked that the Building Official and fire inspectors
review the building to determine any hazardous conditions or safety issues with partial occupancy. For
example, exiting, fire protection, ventilation will be reviewed so that it doesn't pose any hazard to
individuals. On the other hand, items such as office finishes, completion of ail the restroom facilities,
etc. could be waived temporarily with conditions. I will keep the Council informed on the status of
this issue.
7) I.~{.A_ND STAUCH CONVICTION
Attached please find further information regarding Leland Stauch's appeal of his housing convictions
to the Court of Appeals. As you are aware, Mr. Stauch was convicted on each of the misdemeanor
counts of operating his rental units without a license.
8) HONEYW~LL CONTRACT
I have met with officials of Honeywell regarding the progress and performance of the Honeywell
contract to date. They have provided some interim financial reports showing energy savings through
November, 1993 of $15,119. Additionally, we discussed the performance of their contract as it relates
· to responding to problems at various buildings. In Suly, 1994, we will be reviewing what amounts to
a full year operational experience on the Honeywell contract. At that time, I will have Honeywell
present a report at a regular work session of the City Council. This will also aid the City in our 1995
budgeting, in that the 1994 budget did hot to any large extent reflect energy savings as a result of the
contract.
9) POLICE STAFFING
The Council inquired as to the timing of discussions on police staffing increases or changes. Originally,
this item was scheduled for discussion on Saturday, February 26. Mayor Sturdevant has requested that
some further internal department discussions occur prior to bringing this item to the City Council.
Again, I expect this item to be fully discussed at a March work session.
C1TY OPEN HOUSE
I have tentatively scheduled a city-wide Open House in conjunction with the spring activities for May
17, 1994. Please check your calendars so that you can schedule your attendance at the event. The
Open House will be very similar to the Public Works event, except that it will include all city
departments. We will also make available Wurs of other city buildings, such as City Hall/Fire, Police
operations to school groups. Hopefully, the Mayor or other council members could be available during
those days to assist with the tour~ Carol Frey attended Richfield's Housing Fair this year, and is very
excited about the possibility in future years to develop a local housing and remodeling fair for
Columbia Heights. Richfield's Housing Fair includes a tremendous involvement from the local private
sector, including contractors, home suppliers, financial institutions, real estate agencies, etc. This
coming budget year, the City Council may want to establish a contingency account to implement such
an effort in Columbia Heights.

Entries - Peacemaker Award
The AMM Peacemaker Award recognizes and honors a city's efforts to resolve a dispute by
alternative methods, not the court system. This award was developed from a recommendation
made by the AMM's Dispute Resolution Committee. The committee believed that honoring a
city for resolving a dispute by non-traditional means could encourage other communities to
explore the possibilities of mediation or other creative methods to resolve a dispute instead of
going to court. These solutions could be through the more recognized methods included in the
umbrella term of alternative dispute resolution - mediation, arbitration, neutral fact-finding - or
other creative, non-litigious means such as neighborhood councl]s, etc.
To be considered, an application must demonstrate that the decision to seek a more creative
resolution was made to solve the problem, not avoid the problem.
3
An entry should show that:
1. The city has a pro-active commitment to seeking alternatives to the court system to resolving
disputes.
2. The city must have demonstrated political courage to submit a tough issue to an alternative
process rather than the courts.
3. The situation must be either difficult and the approach to solving it exhibits creativity,
leadership and a commitment to resolve the matter, not delay a decision.
4. Complete resolution is not a prerequisite.
APPLICATION PROCESS:
Each application must include:
1. Community identification and population being served.
2. Detailed description of the situation that lead to the use of an alternative means for resolving
the dispute.
3. The participants, process and duration of the resolution, respecting parties' rights to privacy
when necessary. (IMPORTANT NOTE: For privacy considerations, you may wish to consider
asking the parties to sign a publicity or model's release.)
4. Description of how this technique produced a resolution that would not have been reached
in any way other than through the court system.
5. Description of any barriers to either the concept or process, and how they were overcome.
6. Demonstration that the alternative, creative method for resolving the dispute fostered a
sense of community or fostered a feeling of goodwill toward city officials by those involved in
the dispute.
Entries must not exceed five (5) pages, plus application cover, for a total of six (6) pages. An
application form is included in this Bulletin, and may be reproduced as warranted.
Entries must be received by the AMM office by $ p.m. Thursday, May 5, 1994. Those received
after that date will not be considered. Inquiries may be directed to Nicole Debevec at the AMM

-.,,~c'--¢?, _^ PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS COMMITTEE
~MA~*'""'~_ ~ .~ANOKA COUNTY JOINT LAW ENFORCEMENT COUNCIL
Minutes of the Projects and Programs Committee of the Joint La~v Enforcement Council
which met on March 3, 1994 at the Anoka County Sheriff's Office.
The purpose of the meeting was to report on the status of further study regarding
instituting a countywide prisoner transport service as discussed at the committee meeting
on February 8, 1994.
Committee members present were Chief Bruce Porter, Chief Dave Van Burkleo, and
Sheriff Ken Wilkinson, Chair. Members not in attendance were Ray Jones, Chief Steve
Ahrens and Chief Ron Nicholas. Also attending to assist with this project were Chief
Dave Mawhorter and Deputy County Administrator Tim Yantos.
The committee reported on the availability of any grant funds for the project.
Chief Mawhorter contacted Patty Meyer, Executive Director of the Board of Government
Innovation and Cooperation to inquire about grants that might be available. She
indicated that service-sharing grants (funded from the state) are for start-up costs. The
purchase of capital equipment would not be considered part of the start-up costs,
however personnel might be. Chief Mawhorter felt that Ms. Meyer was not very positive
that this type of project would qualify, but we could try to submit it. They have already
completed their grant cycle until the summer, and the application process will begin
again either late spring or early summer. It was the consensus that even if this grant
would only fund personnel costs, and not the purchase of capital equipment, application
should still be made to try for some of the funding.
Tim Yantos was not aware if the County had applied for these funds for any other
programs, but that it did not seem like there was a lot of money available from this grant.
Chief VanBurkleo mentioned that the time frame for the federal grant from the
Department of Justice has passed. This grant had to do with community policing. Two
rounds of the grant cycle have already been completed. No grants were awarded in
Minnesota.
Sheriff Wilkinson checked with the National Sheriff's Association, and they have no
programs or special funds available. He discussed this with a few Sheriffs from around
,the country - most are like Hennepin County and have a county-wide service.
Tim Yantos checked with NACo, and they will have to do some research and get back
to him.
Sheriff Wilkinson stated that Chief Ahrens was going to check with a computer network,
but we have not heard if he was able to find anything.
Chief VanBurkleo said he could check with someone he knows who works at the capitol
to see if there were any other grants available.
Tim Yantos asked if gra.nt funds were not obtainable, would the committee want to look
at a pilot project with the cities sharing costs. He suggested a three-month pilot project
be put together. This would be much cheaper initially, and could then be evaluated at
the end of three months by number of pickups, type of pickups, etc. to determine if the
cost could be justified to the cities. A Joint Powers Agreement could be established
where the County would invoice the cities for cost reimbursement during this pilot
project.
Sheriff Wilkinson indicated he could put together the personnel costs for two people
working 8 hours per day/7 days a week, and doubling up on busy weekends. Court
Security Officers are currently paid at $10.70 per hour. The Sheriff also indicated he
would check on the use of the prisoner van as a transport vehicle. This might be
available to use during the evening hours. Additional cost figures would include gas and
mileage.
Sheriff Wilkinson expressed concern that the cities who will benefit the most from a
transport service may be least able to pay, i.e., St. Francis, and that the larger cities
such as Coon Rapids and Ramsey may not have as great a need. Tim Yantos said that
a formula could be developed for anticipated usage. Chief VanBurkleo felt that Coon
Rapids may be very interested because of the detox issue.
The committee agreed to meet again before the next Joint Law Enforcement Council
Meeting on April 27th. Sheriff Wilkinson agreed to put together the preliminary costs for
a pilot project. Tim Yantos agreed to look for any other foundation monies or other type
of transportation grants, and also to look at developing a formula for anticipated usage.
Chief VanBurkleo also agreed to check on any other grant possibilities.
The next scheduled committee meeting is for Thursday, April 14, 1994 at 1300 at the
Anoka County Sheriff's Office.
