I999 AGENDA SECTION: Consent ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT CITY MANAGER POLICE APPROVAL: ITEM: Authorization to Attend Out of State Conf. BY: Thomas M. Johnsonl:~/ BY: NO. DATE: July 30, 1999 ':~' ~J DATE: BACKGROUND Annually there is a National Visions Sof~vare Conference sponsored by the Visions Corporation. Since the Columbia Heights Police Department is switching over to Visions Software for our Records function, as are all law enforcement agencies in the County, I feel that it is important that we send a representative to this conference to find out everything we can about this product and to have a say in any changes or updates that might be proposed. The conference would also include valuable training, which will be brought back and shared with all end users in our agency. ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION The breakdown of the cost for this event is as follows: Registration Fee: $500.00 Hotel: $162.50 Meals: $100.00 Airfare: $266.00 Total $1,028.50 I am proposing that we use $500 from line 3105 (Training) and $528.50 from line 3320 (Out of Town Travel) from the Police budget to cover these expenses. I am proposing that we send the Support Service Supervisor, Jill Teetzel, to this conference since she is our lead person on this project. At this time, we would like your permission to proceed with the reservations and the conference fee. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize Support Services Supervisor Jill Teetzel to attend the Visions Software Annual Conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, September 12-16, 1999, with all costs to be covered from the Police Department 1999 budget.

There will be training on a variety, of topics including: administering the system, creating reports, networking, mapping, and imaging. How will this activiW help you and/or your department? This conference will help the police department in tkree ways - training, networking and input. Vision Software's Annual Conference provides excellent hands on training on all aspects of the system. Particularly important to the Police Department is the network and system administrator training. Their support will be a crucial part in the day to day operations of the system. Vision Software employees and customers from all over the United States will be at the conference offering an excellent networking opportunity. Networking with the technical support personnei will be important. In the event you have to contact them regarding a problem, it always helps to already have a connection with the personnel, In addition to networking with employees, networking with other departments can be very helpful. The Department will be able to gain information from other departments on problems they have faced with the system, issues surrounding the problems and how they have resolved them. Facilitated at the conference also are user group meetings. These meetings provide the opportunity, to ask questions, make suggestions and sign up to attend user group meetings in our area. The user group meetings provide a forum for all users to give input on the system and this is very important to the Department.

BackRround Thermal imagers are a device that allows fireflghters to see "through" the smoke. They operate by sensing the infrared image of an object rather than the visual image we normally see. Thermal imagers can be either hand-held or he/met-mounted. Almost all tmagers include the potential for a transmitter device so that the image visible in the camera can be analyzed from a remote location (such as outside of the fire building). The transmitter sends a signal to a television and VCR which allows someone outside of the fire to help interpret what the wearer of the device is seeing. Transmitters are especially valuable in training situations but can also be used at an actual fire to allow other firefighters to track the location and progress of the interior crews. The Fire Department included $25,000 in the 1999 budget (101-42200-5180). We formed a thermal imager committee and researched the available imagers to determine the best value for our department based upon our operation. The committee looked at both hand-held and helmet-mounted imagers. Analysis The Fire Department, based upon the reseamh conducted by the thermal imager committee, is recommending purchase of the FireFLIR helmet-mounted thermal imager. The regular purchase price of this imager is $22,750. Through a bit of luck in timing, FireFLIR is currently offering a $2,000 discount on this imager in an effort to get around a summer sales slump typically experienced by fire service vendors. The discount expires on August 31, 1999. We are recommending that the city take advantage of this considerable savings even though it would require a down payment of $4,000 at the time of the order. The final payment of $16,750 ($22,750-$2,000 discount - $4,000 down payment) would be due upon delivery of the imager. FireFLIR is in the process of updating their transmitter device and has recommended against us pumhasing their current transmitter model. They anticipate having the updated transmitter ready in December or January. Fire Department would like permission to purchase of the transmitter as soon as it is available. Total cost of the transmitter will range between $3,000 and $4,000. Action Requested Authorize staff to purchase a helmet-mounted thermal imager from FireFLIR at a total cost of $20,750 and, further, that payment for the imager be in the form of a $4,000 down payment at the time of order with $16,750 due at delivery and, further, that the City Manager and Mayor be authorized to enter into a contract for the same. Authorize that staff purchase a transmitter device when available from FireFLIR at a cost not to exceed $4,000 and that the City Manager and Mayor be authorized to enter into a contract for same. CITY COUNCIL LETTER Meeting of: August 9, 1999 AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT AGENDA ORIGINATING DEPT.: CITY MANAGER NO: Recreation ) APPROVAL .O'll l / ITEM: REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO ALLOCATE BY: Keith Windschitl'~ BY: FUNDING AND SEEK BIDS FOR ARCHITECTURAL DATE: July 29, 1999 Q' PROPOSAL AND CONCEPT PLAN FOR MULTI-USE CENTER AND PARK IMPROVEMENTS NO: BACKGROUND: The Recreation Department conducted a survey for several months to determine the level of interest in and support for a multi-use center and the desire for other park and recreation improvements. The surveys were distributed at neighborhood park picnics, community groups, and organizations. 96% of respondents felt a multi-use center would be a benefit to the community. 95% of the respondents said they would support the facility if it went to a vote (bond referendum). A preliminary program has been established based on the results of the community survey, city staff, Park & Recreation Commission input, and previous architecntral planning and work. The City of Columbia Heights needs to consider a special bond referendum for December of 1999 for the construction of a multi-use community center and park improvements. The Park & Recreation Commission has recommended that the City authorize use of $10,000 from the Back to the Parks budget to contract with an architectural firm who will work with community representatives and City staff to develop plans for a multi-use center and park improvements. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to authorize the allocation of $10,000 from the Back to the Parks budget to seek bids to contract with an architectural firm who will work with community representatives and City staff to develop plans for a multi-use center an~/lYark improvements. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY COUNCIL LETTER ~'3 Council Meeting of: August 9, 1999 AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATiNG CITY NO: DEPARTMENT: MANAGER'S SPECIAL PROJECTS APPROVAL ITEM: NO: BY: JEAN KUEHN BY: DATE: July 20, 1999 DATE: The City Council created a Telecommunications Website Task Force and directed the task force to: A. Determine the need for a web site. B. Suggest information the web site should provide. C. Explore costs involved to establish a site. D. Make a recommendation to the city council on how to proceed. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WEB SITE TASK FORCE A. The Task Force members feel a City Web Site is needed and would: 1. Enhance city exposure to potential new residents and businesses. 2. Add a new dimension of communication to current residents, 3. Make information about the City available to those individuals who work in Columbia Heights, but live elsewhere and do not receive city publications or notices. 4. Increase exposure for employment opportunities. 5. Allow all residents greater access to information from City Hall. B. The Task Force members feel that the first phase of a City web site should include: 1. City Services: Utilities, Hours of operation, emergency numbers, library hours, recycling, hazardous waste and yardwaste disposal. 2.Council Information: Meeting dates, agendas and council member biographical information. 3. Frequently asked questions and their responses. 4. Park and recreation information; events, park locations and hours available. 5. Emergency numbers for police/fire 6. Links to other sites, such as schools, State and Federal, LMC, chamber of commeme, etc. C. The Task Force members explored the costs of establishing a web site for the City and recommend the city budget approximately $9,000 to hire a consultant to create a basic shell to receive information and that staff members create the necessary information to be put into this shell. Additional funds should be included for software and training. Staff should take class, such as those offered by the Minnesota Science Museum, to learn web site maintenance skills. RECOMMENDED MOTION:. The Web Site Task Force of the Telecommunications Commission therefore recommends the City Council authorize proceeding with the creation of an interact web site for the City of Columbia Heights, select a web site host, hire a consultant/design firm to create the site, provide instruction opportunities for staff to learn web site software, and provide staff to regularly monitor and update the City site, and approve expenditures of $9,000 for a consultant, $200 for software and $700 for staff training.

Thanks To: Keith Windschitl, Parks and Recreation Director From: Greg Ingraham, Planning Consultant Date: July 9, 1999 Re: Recreation Survey Summary and Recommendations Columbia Heights Recreation Survey The following is a summary of a recreation survey conducted by the City of Columbia Heights Recreation Department at a series of neighborhood and organization meetings from April to June, 1999. The intent of the survey was to determine the level of interest in and support for a multi- use recreation center and the desire for other park and recreation improvements. The written surveys were distributed at neighborhood and community meetings and to community groups and organizations. As such, the survey does not represent a random sample of Columbia Heights residents. Prior to completing the survey, most respondents heard a presentation summarizing the need for a recreation center. However, the surveys were completed by a wide range of groups and represent a broad spectrum of the community. The respondents are probably more active in community affairs than the average citizen, as the survey respondents chose to attend a neighborhood or community event or were members in a civic or service organization. 212 survey questionnaires were received. The following is a summary of the major findings. A numeric tally of the responses is attached. Support for a Multi-Use Recreation Center 96% of respondent felt a multi-use center wouM be a benefit to the community. 4%felt it wouM not be a benefit. 95% of the respondents wouM support the facility if it went to a vote (bond referendum). 5% wouM not vote for the facility. 2659 Du,~ont Averlue Soulh Suile I00 Mi~,eopolis, MN 55408 (612)377-25~]0 ~/~p~oe (612)377-1010 Multi-Use Center Facilities In order of preference, respondents desired the following facilities: Note: (xxx) represents the number of people who selected that facility (more than one choice per person was allowed) Gymnasiums (181) Walking/Running Track (153) Fitness Center (153) Swimming Pool (138) Senior Center (128) Meeting Room (120) Teen Center/Lounge (117) Children's Play Area (111) Concessions (105) Child care (81) Exhibit/Banquet hall (70) Youth enrichment rooms (68) Theatre/Auditorium (49) Ice rink (47) Skate park (42) Racquetball courts (34) Amount of Financial Support The survey did not ask the level of financial support (annual property tax increase amount) people would approve. Experience in other Twin City area communities shows that most voters who approve of a project generally support a temporary tax increase in the range of $30 to $40 per year for the average household. In Columbia Heights that translates into a $4.0 to $6.0 million bond referendum. Other Park and Recreation Improvements The following city park improvements were suggested by the survey respondents: 37 New park/play equipment/update/improve 16 Better maintenance 8 More paths/trails 7 More trees/landscaping 6 More benches 4 Better/more lighting 4 More basketball areas for kids 3 More picnic areas Other improvements were suggested by two or less people. Involvement in Planning a Multi-Use Facility Approximately 48 people said they would like to be involved in the planning ora facility. These people provided their name and phone number to contact for their involvement. General Impressions, Issues and Recommendations Large Contingent of Supporters - Among active community residents there is great support for a multi~use recreation facility. These people should be involved in the planning and promotion ora recreation facility and bond referendum. Definite Need for Facilities - There are many other contributing factors driving the need for a multi-use recreation center. A major factor is the pending loss of public use of the NEI gyms (old high school gyms). Resistance to Property Tax Increases - While this did not occur in this survey, resistance to property tax increases is prevalent in all communities. Recreation projects generally receive broader support than most referendums, however a strong education and awareness campaign is needed to convince voters. Facility Composition and Budget- Gymnasiums (2), a walking/running track, fitness center, and senior/teen center should clearly be part of the multi-use center. A swimming pool was a highly desired element, but pools are expensive to build and to operate. The addition of an indoor pool could increase the project cost beyond the $30-$40 per year average tax contribution. Project Budget ~ The facility should be designed to appeal to a broad range of people while maintaining a reasonable cost. A target budget of $4.0 to 6.0 million should be established recognizing that the lower amount has a better chance of approval. Operating costs, revenue generation and matching funds are all important issues to be investigated. Facility Location - An addition onto Murzyn Hall is the most logical location for a new multi-use recreation center. An addition would allow more flexibility for use of Murzyn and would have lower operating cost, due to shared staffing, than a freestanding facility. The existing outdoor wading pool and portions of the parking lot and tennis courts would need to be removed for the addition. New parking and a new wading pool should be part of the project. Next Steps - The City Council should be asked to endorse the formation of a task force charged with defining the scope of the multi-use recreation center and preparing and implementing a funding strategy (likely a bond referendum). Since December is one of the best times for a bond election, a task force should be formed ASAP and their efforts be targeted toward a December referendum. The task force would report back to the City Council and ask the Council to set the election date.
