ITEM: PAVE NORTH HALF OF REAR MURZYN HALL
PARKING LOT AND DRIVEWAY OUT TO MILL ST.

APPROVAL

BACKGROUND:
The rear parking lot behind Mmzyn Hall is in very poor condition. We have patched the cracks and pot holes for many years. It has
now gotten to the point where it has broken down into small pieces where patching just would not do any good.
In addition to the cracking, we also have a serious drainage problem which poses safety concerns in the winter time where water freezes
at the rear entry of Murzyn Hall.
In the 2000 Murzyn Hall budget, we have budgeted $14,000 for crackfilling and sealcoating of the rear parking lot. Since this lot is
beyond the point of sealcoating and/or patching. We are recommending a two inch overlay with milling for the drainage. The
remaining cost of $3,200 will come from the Murzyn Hall budget. Staff has found no contractors within the city of Columbia Heights
that do this type of work.
This item was brought to the work session on August 7, 2000. At that time Council Members felt we should get a new bid from Classic
Asphalt & Sealcoating Company, Inc. since their quote was not reflecting the same amount of work as the other quotes. Classic has
submitted a new quote for the amount of $18,555.
ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION:
This milling would solve our drainage problem, and the overlay should last approximately eight years. This bid would cover the north
half of the rear parking lot and the driveway on the west side of Murzyn Hall to Mill Street. We also have proposed $27,000 in the
Murzyn Hall budget for 2001 to finish the second half of the south portion of the Mumyn Hall rear parking lot.
We have obtained five quotes for the milling and the overlay. They are as follows:
1. Metro Paving $17,775.00
2. Classic Asphalt & Sealcoating Co., Inc. $18,555.00
3. Hardrives, Inc. (reclaiming) $26,736.80
4. Midwest Asphalt Corp. $20,200.00
5. ACI Asphalt Contractors, Inc. $17,200.00
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to authorize Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement with ACI Asphalt Contractors, Inc. and to award the bid for
paving the north half of Murzyn Hall rear parking lot and driveway on west side of building for the total amount of $17,200, with funds
being appropriated from the Murzyn Hall budget.

APPROVAL:
BACKGROUND
During the past few months the Police Department has been working at finding funding to rebuild our two-lane
shooting range. The estimated total cost for this renovation is just over $20,000. One of the resources the
department is using is through donations to the City that would be designated for this renovation. To date, the City
has received three such donations. The local Boosters Club, VFW Post #230, and Tri-City American Legion have
each donated $1,000 to the City of Columbia Heights to be used to rebuild the shooting range.
ANALYSIS/CONCLUSION
The generous donations by these three organizations will give us an excellent start toward raising the funds
needed to rebuild the shooting range.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to accept $1,000 from each of the following organizations: VFW Post
#230, the Columbia Heights Boosters Organization, and the Tri-City American Legion, to be used to offset the
cost of rebuilding the police shooting range.

NO:
Meeting of: August 28, 2000
DATE: August 16, 2000
Background:
The Economic Development Authority of the City of Columbia Heights has purchased three substandard
properties with the intent of razing the buildings for redevelopment. The properties are the commercial
building at 828 N.E. 40m Avenue, the dwelling with an attached garage at 3950 Lookout Place, and the
dwelling with a detached garage at 3944 Lookout place.
The Columbia Heights City Council has declared the dwelling at 4358 N.E. 3'a Street a Hazardous Building,
Resolution 99-15. The Building Official and City Attorney will be attending Anoka County Court on August
21, 2000 to seek the Court's permission to raze the dwelling and assess the costs to the property in the form
of a special assessment. On August 15, 2000, the City also closed on the purchase of the single-family home
with detached garage at 3855 N.E. Main Street.
The attached Resolution, 2000-59, is to direct staff to prepare demolition specifications and to seek bids for
the projects. The 4358 N.E. 3'a Street and 3855 N.E. Main Street projects may be funded by 415 PIR
Abatement Funds. The costs will then be assessed to the properly. The EDA owned properties will use
Commercial Revitalization CDBG funds. The bid specifications will have the option of deleting one or all of
the properties from the bid. Staff would then be able to negotiate with future owners to privately pay for and
perform the razing of the structure.
Recommended Motion:
Move to waive the reading of Resolution 2000-59, there being ample copies available to the public.
Recommended Motion:
Move to Adopt Resolution 2000-59, authorizing staff to prepare specifications and solicit bids for the razing

ITEM: Emergency Ordinance - 1418,
Extend Moratorium on Telecommunication
Towers
BY: Tim Johnson '~'ff'
DATE: August 16, 2000
CITY MANAGER
APPROVAL
BY: ~/d--~
ISSUE STA.TE~: Request to extend Moratorium on Telecommunication Towers and Antennae for 90
days from September 7, 2000 through and including December 7, 2000.
BACKGROUN]D/ANA~YSIS: On May 18, 2000 the Telecommunications Commission reviewed the
Telecommunications Towers/Antennae section of the draft Zoning Ordinance to provide comments to the
Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. Since this time, legal consultant Steve Guzzetta has
reviewed and prepared a Draft Telecommunication Tower Siting Ordinance for compliance with all state and
federal regulations. Staff is now reviewing the proposed Draft Ordinance in anticipation of future adoption. The
timeline for adoption is expected to be October/November 2000. The ordinance will require review by the
Telecommunications Commission, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and two readings by the City Council.
If a work session is necessary for Planning Commission members, the timeline could be extended further. The
City Council will review the moratorium extension on August 21, 2000, and as such will be voted on August 28,
2000. The Telecommunications Commission had recommended the extension for commercial towers only. The
draft Ordinance has not been changed to limit the moratorium only to commercial towers/antennae and thus will
apply to all towers/antennae.
This is being adopted as an Emergency Ordinance effective September 7, 2000 which is the date the existing
moratorium is scheduled to lapse. The proposed Emergency Ordinance will continue the moratorium without
interruption. When the Telecomrnunication Ordinance is eventually adopted, the ordinance language should
allow for the moratorium to lapse.
RECOMMENDATION: Community Development staff is recommending the City Council consider extending
the moratorium for a period of 90 days for installations of towers, wireless telecommunications facilities,
antennae, or dishes.
RECOM1WtNDED MOTION: Move to waive the reading of Emergency Ordinance 1418, Litere being ample
copies available to the public.
RECOMIV~NDED MOTION: Move to approve Emergency Ordinance 1418, Being an Emergency Ordinance
of the Columbia Heights City Council for a 90 day extension of the moratorium on the placement, construction,
and modification of towers and wireless telecommunications facilities within the City of Columbia Heights.

AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER
NO: '] 'C' \ Community Development APPROVAL
ITEM: Approve Proposals for Professional BY: KeImeth R. Anderson ~ BY: ffff~/"
Services DATE: August 23, 2000
BACKGROUND: The Joint Community Task Force which consists of members of Columbia Heights and Fridley held
their second meeting on Thursday, August 10, 2000. The purpose of the meeting was to review and discuss the proposal
received by Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. to provide land use, marketing, and financial consulting services. The Task
Force had distributed a request for proposals to approximately twelve firms which specialize primarily in land use
consulting services. We received proposals from only one firm. Four firms at'tended the informational meeting held by
staff on July 11, 2000. Two of the firms provided written correspondence declining the offer to propose due to existing
workload. A third firm thought the proposal was more appropriate for marketing research and analysis versus land use
and declined to propose as well. The proposal that was received from HKGI teamed up with a marketing firm from
Boston, Massachusetts called Bonz/REA and Ehlers and Associates, a local public financing firm. While the Task Force
would have preferred several proposals to consider, they determined the proposal received was responsive to the RFP
that was distributed.
ANALYSIS: The consultant proposed to complete the major work in four tasks as follows: 1) Understanding existing
conditions, 2) Determine/verify City directions, 3) Analyze what it means, and 4) Establish priorities and defining
implementation steps. Mark Koegler artended the Task Force meeting and made a presentation regarding their approach
to the project. They expressed a great deal of enthusiasm and excitement regarding the prospects of completing this work
for thc Task Force. The sham of cost to bc paid by the City of Columbia Heights is a total of $24,132. Of this amount,
$18,050 will go to preparation ofa GIS data base and mapping services with the remaining amount payable to HKGI.
The Task Force recommcnded that both Cities approve an agreement for consulting services with I-IKGI for a total fee
not to exceed $54,500. The City Council has previously approved an appropriation of up to $22,206 for these costs to be
paid from Fund 226, and a portion of these funds to be included in the 2001 Budget. This request is for a maximum
amount of $24,132 payable from Fund 226.
RECOMMENDATION: The Task Force is recommending City Council approval to enter into the referenced
Agreement for professional consulting services.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award land use, market, and financial consulting services for the Joint
Community Task Force to the Hoisington Kocgler Group, Inc. (HKGI) based upon their qualified, responsible bid in the
amount of $6,082.00, with funds to be appropriated from Fund 226, Special Project Revenue; and furthermore, to
authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same, which will bc administered by the Fridley
HRA.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to award the GIS data analysis and mapping services for the Joint Community
Task Force to Demographic Technologies, Inc. (DTI) based upon their qualified, responsible bid in the amount of
$18,050.00 with funds to be appropriated from Fund 226, Special Project Revenue; and furthermore, to authorize the
Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same, which will be administered by the Fridley HRA.

Critical to the success of each I=IKGi project is the participation of
the community. We believe that without the local knowledge that City
officials and residents provide, no mount of professional expertise will
yield a wholly satisfactory solution. I-IKGi is a leader in the use of a
consensus building approach that blends the creativity of the publiC.and
decision-makers with the professional design and planning expertise
offered by HKGi. Our clients seek our guidance as a result of our
ability to resolve conflict. "

The construction of the new Medtronic Corporate Headquarters
presents an unprecedented opportunity for the cities of Fridley and
Columbia Heights. The HKGi Project Team's work program has been
designed to analyze and provide recommendations on the land use, market
and f'mancial implications of this major new developmeaL Beyond simply
understanding the likely impacts of this project, this work program is
focused on providing beth communities with tools that can be used to
plan for change. The construction of Medtronic will facilitate chahge.
How can Columbia Heights and Fridley, both individually and
cooperatively, use this opportunity for change to advance identified goals?
Advancing community goals assumes that some direction has been
or will be established. Both Columbia Heights and Fridley have recently
updated their comprehensive plans. Both plans focus on community
improvement and contain a variety of goal-oriented elements that can
be used as a partial basis for the Medtronic analysis. This information
needs to be supplemented by direct community input that specifically
considers and reacts to the opportunities that Merittonic presents.
Therefore, the work program includes public participation elements to
gain an understanding of community interest and priorities and to help
establish future directions.
The work program is based on our understanding of the project to
date· It includes four major components that are intended to build a
level of common understanding, examine existing and future directions,
analyze what it all means and then establish priorities and create an
implementation framework. While our current understanding is the
basis for this proposal, it can be modified through input from the Task
Force and TAG as the process unfolds to ensure that we address the
needs and interests of both communities.
1.0 Understand existing conditions...
During this initial part of the process, the HKGi team will begin to
undershnd the project area and the details of the new Medtronic facility.
We will work with the identified GIS consultants to assemble the
appropriate base maps and .materials including both demographic and
!and use information. The team will review development plans as well
as other plans, demographic studies, market studies and other sources
of information that may be of value in a background assessment.
This portion of the work will include the following tasks:
I.I
Investigate the forces that influence the planning area
including natural forces (topography); man-made

forces (traffic paRems, utilities, other exiting and planned
developments); community forces (history, elements of
local culture, general safety concerns, relationship with
other community features); market force.s (conditions
of housing and commercial uses); financial forces (the
resources that ultimately might be used for
implementation) and other influences (views, special
features, etc.)
Assess the project area in terms of image and identity,
seeking opportunities to capitalize on elerrl'e, nts that are
meaningful to both communities and noting areas that
currently detract from positive images.
Obtain information related to utilities and other
infrastructure to determine constraints posed by those
facilities.
Collect and review information to build an understanding
of the Medtronic business structure. This task set is
intended to provide an understanding of Medtronic's
business practices and patterns. In gaining the necessary
understanding the HKGi Team will interview Medtronic
officials and employees, tour Medtronic facilities and
the expansion site, and review relevant corporate
literature. Key issues for investigation will involve
Medtronic's:
Clientele
Suppliers
Service providers
Employees - compensation, pro~ies, etc.
Operations and requirements at existing locations
Problems and needed improvements
Operations and requfirements at proposed expansions
The team will investigate the existing linkages between
Medtronic and 'Ztheir major existing supplier and support
service providers in terms of the types of Fins and services
provided, the scale of services and supplies provided, their
geographic distribution, and any requirements for proximity
to existing facilities. We will also analyze the Medtronic
workforce by type of employment, demographic
Hoisington Koegler Group Inc.

characteristics and geographic distribution within the
region. This analysis will involve collection of information
from the company, as well as surveys and interviews with
Medtronic representatives and officials.
Through interviews and data collection, we will also seek
to understand anticipated future employment requirements
by types of jobs, as well as the anticipated off-site supply
and support service requirements that are likely generated
by the projected expansion and the proximity .,ryquirements
and geographic linkages, if any. For example, will
additional or new suppliers be required to service the
headquarters needs and are there specific site location
requirements? Will off-site hotel accommodations be
required to accommodate the anticipated visitor population
and if so, what would be the likely demand for room nights?
1.5
Present the results of the understanding of existing
conditions at a Task Force meeting in the form of text and
graphics. The presentation will include information on
existing demographics and future demographic trends for
both communities with specific correlation to their
relationship to the Merittonic development and opportunities
that it may pose.
Deliverables: · Base maps of the project area compiled by GIS consultant
· Summary of existing conditions and project influences
2.0 Determine/verify city directions...
At this stage in the process, HKGi will begin to involve the
communities in determining or verifying desired community directions.
We will work with the TAC and Task Force to create an appropriate
process for participation in workshops, a process likely to be structured
in a manner that presents "break out" sessions for each community
and a general session with combined representation.
Workshop One will allow participants direct input. The workshop
will use a variety of techniques to discuss issues and desires for the
character and direction appropriate for each community. It will be
used as a forum to critique existing goals, policies, directions and identity
Hoisington Koegler Group
page
elements found in existing comprehensive plans and other statements
of public policy. At this stage, participants will be providing a foundation
that will help shape eventual priorities and implementation
recommendations. Participants will also gain insight into the issues and
opportunities that the communities will face as a result of the Merittonic
expansion.
Ultimately, this part of the process will result in a statement of direCtion
and identity for both communities. These will be used as tools to direct
the analysis and recommendations process.
Specific tasks include:
2.1
Work with the TAC to advertise the workshop and to
invite participants.
2.2
Conduct Workshop One with interested business
interests and residents and summarize the results.
23
Meet individually with key stakeholders to gain
confidential insight into plans and concerns. Key
stakeholders will be identified with the assistance of
the TAC and are likely to include property owners,
business owners, neighborhood activists, civic leaders
and others. Meetings with up to 12 key stakeholders
are included in this task.
2.4 Meet with the TAC to review input and clarify issues.
2.5
Draf~ a statement of direction and desired image for
review by the TAC and Task Force.
Deliverables: · Summary of Workshop One, including statements of
community direction and desired image
· Summary of meetings with key stakeholders
3.0 Analyze what it means...
Analyzing the impacts of Medtronic will require a thorough
understanding of Columbia Heights and Fridley's economic profiles, recent
trends, development potential, infrastructure and potential future land
use panems. The land use and infrastructure components of the analysis
will need to focus on possible future uses and their specific physical site
requirements and required regulatory frameworks.
Hoisington Koegler Group Inc.

The economic and development components of the analysis will
require an understanding of the underlying market conditions that drive,
constrain or otherwise shape the rate and character of community
economic growth. The foundations of this analysis involve: (I) the
community's demographic trends and characteristics, which define
the community's labor force and its market for goods and services;
(2) the community's economic base, which influences its growth
prospects and its demand for commercial goods and services; and (3)
the community's quality of life amenities and overall character, which
influence its ability to attract new residents and businesse,,s.
3.1
Assess economic conditions including market trends and
demographic analysis. Initial steps in this task will involve
reviews of existing literature and interviews with key figures
such as public officials, real estate brokers, developers,
property managers, etc. Bonz/REA will then focus on
demographic data provided through the communities by
Demographic Technologies, Inc., employment and industry
dam, and other data relating to real estate market conditions.
Specific areas for examination include without limitation:
· Population and population growth/change
· Work force profiles
· Employment trends and projections, by industry sector
· Historical niches in Twin Cities metropolitan area.
· Fiscal/tax structures
· Infrastructure and amenities
· Other business advantages and disadvantages
· Perceptions and images
· Real estate development trends
· Real estate market conditions (lease rates, tenant profiles,
vacancy rates, etc.)
· Key differences between Fridley and Columbia Heights
;I'hese analyses will provide a basis for evaluating the potential
impact and opportunities likely to arise from Medtronic's ex-
pansion. ..
3.2
Conduct case studies. The purpose of this task is to gain
insight from the experiences of other major developments,
expansions, or relocations involving 3,000 or more new
employees in comparable industry groups. Bonz/KEA will
identify communities similar to Fridley and/or Columbia Heights
that have faced comparable situations. Such case studies
Hoisington Koeglcr Group Inc.
!!Ill

3.4
will be drawn from metropolitan areas throughout the nation
as well as from the Twin Cities. After selecting communities
with relevant comparable experiences, Bonz/REA will conduct
research and analysis to identify the key direct and indirect
impacts, issues, and public measures that contributed to
subsequent economic development successes or failures.
Assess development impacts and areas of economic potential.
Based on the analyses identified in tasks 3. I and 3.2, Bonz/
REA will set forth the likely direct and indirect i.mpacts of the
Medtronic expansion. Many of these impacts wil[ be potential
impacts, contingent upon anticipated events and/or public
measures. Accordingly, the impact analysis will not seek to
forecast precise impacts, but will identify areas of potential
and the likely contingencies associated with each.
Specific types of impacts and potential will involve new busi-
nesses and employment, new commercial development poten-
tial, new residential development paRems and potential, fiscal
issues, etc. Among its specific tasks, BonzYR.EA will:
* Forecast growth trends with and without Medtronic
expansion;
· Identify key influences (commuter rail, new
improvements/amenities) affecting various growth
scenarios;
· Identify opportunities for new businesses involved linked
with Medtronic (suppliers, service proriders, clientele),
and the preferred site characteristics for these types of
businesses;
· Forecast opportunities for various types of residential
development, and identify likely home buyer profiles and
targeted forms and locations for development;
· Forecast likely opportunities for new commercial and
industrial development opportunities. Such opportunities
may involve lodging facilities and new types retail and
office tenants. The BonrJREA forecasts will identify
likely tenant profiles, preferred site characteristics and
other key issues;
· Identify likely constraints to various types of desirable
growth.
Assemble future use profiles. Task 3.3 will result in the
identification of a number of new businesses and housing
types that may result from the construction of the new
Hoisington Koegier Group Inc.
page
Medtronic facility. This task will define a "profile" for each of
these uses identifying required site characteristics such as site
size, appropriate access, visibility, etc. The profiles will also
examine the physical characteristics of such uses and determine
their compatibility with existing zoning and land use regulations
for both communities. Where potential uses do not fit within
existing regulatory frameworks, required modifications will be
noted. Additionally, strategies and standards to prevent
incompatible or undesirable land uses will be identified.
3.5
Assess transportation impacts of future developmera, potentials.
Examine transportation issues resulting from possible future
development with a focus on roadways, walkways, bikeways
and transit. Transit impact will include both bus transit and the
proposed Northstar Commuter Rail Line that has a station stop
in the city of Fridley.
3.6
Analyze potential image enhancements. Based on the direction
established in work task 2, assess future potential uses in terms
of their ability to support desired community directions and
images.
3.7
Analyze the general fiscal impacts of the Medtronic facility
and potential "spin-off' developments. Examine the relationship
between the development of Merittonic and related facilities
and general impacts on community services. Imliacts will focus
on maintenance and public safety costs including law
enforcement and fire protection services.
3.8
Present the project analysis results at a Task Force meeting in
the form of text and graphics.
Deliverables:
· .. A "synopsis" report containing documentation of the analysis
· component of the project
4.0
Establish priorities and define an implementation
framework... "
Columbia Heights and Fridley have stated that the recommendations
that are derived from this effort should be general in nature and not
site-specific !and use recommendations. General recommendations,
however, will need to be prioritized. Furthermore, if both communities
are going to gain a working tool from this effort, an implementation
framework needs to be defined to provide direction for follow-up
activities. This element of the work will clearly identify the opportunities,
priorities and goals that will drive the implementation strategy.
Hoisington Koegler Group Inc.
k"4O
Recommendations will be stipulated in five-year increments over a 20-
year planning horizon.
This task will also include public Workshop Two, which will be used as
a forum to present the findings of the effort to the general public and to
solicit their ideas and input. Information to be presented will include the
results of the established direction, the analysis phase, and preliminary
implementation strategies.
Tasks associated with priorities and implementation inclt$.de:
4.1
Establish recommended redevelopment priorities. Based on
the outcome of the market analysis, the determined direction
and desired images, the HKGi team will' formulate recommended
redevelopment priofities. Priorities will be categorized into five-
year segments for implementation. .I.
4.2
Formulate an implementation strategy. This task sets forth the
basic plan for Fridley and Columbia Heights in seeking to
maximize the opportunities arising from the Medtronie expansion.
Our analysis will focus on development assets and constraints
and the necessary measures required to optimize the
communities' respective - and joint - positions. Strategic
measures may include recommendations for:
· New infrastructure and public improvements;
· Regulatory changes;
· Tax provisions;
· New or revised organizational structures;
· Marketing initiatives;
· Intergovernmental agreements, publie/private ventures; and
· Other such measures.
4.3
Meet with the Task Force and TAC to review recommended
priorities and implementation strategieS. Revise based upon
input received.
4.4
Conduct public Workshop Two to present information to the
general public and to solicit further input.
4.5
Meet with the Task Force and TAC to review the results of
Workshop Two and Tasks 3 and 4.
4.6 Prepare 50 bound, color copies of the final report.

Staff Involvement
HKGi is aware of the current workloads of both Fridley and Columbia
Heights' staff members. Accordingly, the work program identified in
this proposal does not assume any major staff involvement. Required
staff participation will focus on assembly and coordination of information
to be supplied by the GIS consultants. With the approval ofcityStaff,
HKGi can also work directly with both PlanSight and Digital Technologies,
Inc. to coordinate required data.
Value Added Services
The basic work program included in this 'proposal is focused on
using a set of specific assumptions and sound methodelegies to create
an analysis for the cities of Columbia Heights and Fridley ~at can be
used for future redevelopment planning. The outcome of this process
may also serve as a foundation for more detailed future efforts that
may follow. Accordingly, this proposal is comprehensive and does not
contain a long list of value added services. The one area where value
added services may be warranted involves the fiscal impact analysis.
Fiscal impact analyses can involve a wide range of assumptions and
efforts. The basic services portion of this work program is focused on
providing the cities with a general assessment of fiscal impacts of various
redevelopment scenarios. As the project progresses, it may be
appropriate to examine whether an additional assessment of fiscal impacts
is warranted. If it is determined to be appropriate, the HKGi team will
work with boffi communities to define a scope for such an effort and to
determine resulting costs.

ENHANCED RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
JOINT TASK FORCE OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS AND FRIDLEY
(June 22, 2000 Meeting)
Task Force MIssion ,
1. Anticipating the strategic impacts associat~l with the Medtronic' development
a. Industrial development
b. Commercial development, including hotels, restaurants and entertainment businesses
c. Jobs
d. Infrastructure pressures
2. Matching the local infrastructure to these future changes and challenges
a. Sizing up the base of local area workers against anticipated new jobs.
b. Keeping the communities strategically balanced (including stable public school
enrollment)
c. Ensudng sufficient and appropriate housing stock, including move-up options.
d. Providing transit options that support current and emerging transportation needs.
e. Promoting the growth of complementary businesses and industries.
3. Recommending land use, development and marketing strategies to position the communities
to benefit from these changes.
(Key concepts: Consultants are expected to predict future changes and identify strategic
responses to these changes. Their tools include detailed land use, housing and
transportation information, generalized census demographic profiles, and models of how
changes have played out in other similar communities.)
Whv Invest In Enhanced Local Demoaraphlcs?
1. Demographics are at the core of this joint community initiative.
a. Medtronic represents a significant infusion of jobs - "daytime population."
b. Understanding the impacts of these new jobs on the local economy requires an
understanding of how these new jobs match up to the current base of resident
workers.
1 ) How much current crossover is there between Medtronic' employees and
community residents?
2) To what extent can the area's labor force base be expected to provide the
Workers needed by Medtronic in the future?
3) What pressures will the new Medtronic workforce put on the local housing
stock, demand for commercial services, and use of transit and
transportation corridors?
a) What kinds of households and what types of housing will feel the
most pressure and how will this shape demographic changes in
the community?
b) How will these pressures be felt in vadous neighborhoods and school
enrollment areas?
4) How will the based of existing businesses change as a result of the new
development changes?
c. As recommendations are made and planning proceeds, it will be important for the
Ken Anderson - Assessing the value of local resident demographic data.doc Page 2
demographic and business impacts to be monitored to ensure that the
communities' strategic needs are being met.
The demographic tools available to your consultants are not adequate to the task.
a. Census derived data sets are outdated, inflexible and does not provide enough
geographic detail to support the Joint Task Force's needs.
b. No current data exists to support the following tasks:
1 ) Unking household specific demographics to a Medtronic' employee list to
determine the ovedap between the company's employee base and the
resident population base in the Joint-Task Force communities.
2) Associating demographic profiles with housing characteristics, property
ownership, and resident turnover data. This is critical to any lifecycle
housing analysis and an assessment of housing affordability.
3) Mapping and projecting transit and transportation demand volumes by
household type at a neighborhood level. This is a critical task in
determining transit and transportation needs.
4) Tracking demographic changes, in annual intervals, across the existing base
of households and for each new development area.
Current business profiles must be obtained from state sources and are limited to cases where
the request is made by a public entity and processed and summarized by a third-party
vendor.
The DT! Solution
Deliverables:
a. Current (Year 2000) rash:lent demographic data set built at the iBIockTM level (3 to 5
household rollups and multifamily development profiles)
b. Current (Year 2000) business summaW profiles (location, SIC codes, covered
employment, wages paid) with sponsorship by the Task Force and approval by
the Minnesota Department of Economic Security.

2001 SUMMARY BUDGET PRESENTATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 28, 2000
In accordance with the City of Columbia Heights budget calendar, which was modified several
years ago to correspond with state legislation on Truth in Taxation, the bulk of the budget review
has now been moved back to the months of October and November.
In August the City Council is presented with a preliminary summary budget showing the detail
only at a fund level. In accordance with Truth in Taxation regulations, the City Council must
adopt and certify to the County Auditor a preliminary budget and a preliminary levy prior to
September 15th. From that certification the County Auditor determines the effect that this
proposed levy will have on local property taxes. That information is then returned to the City for
the City Council to utilize in their detail budget reviews to enable them to make a final
determination on expenditures and a final determination on a city levy, which will be reviewed at
a public Truth in Taxation hearing which staff is proposing to conduct on December 4, 2000.
The attached proposed resolution includes both the revenue and expenses for 2001 along with the
proposed levy.
Attached is a proposed preliminary resolution along with the notice from Anoka County as to
when the City Council may establish budget hearing dates. It is staffs recommendation that this
item be placed on the September 5th WOrk session for more in-depth review of the prelimi.nary
proposed budget and the preliminary proposed levy.

2001 SUMMARY BUDGET PRESENTATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 28, 2000
In accordance with the City of Columbia Heights budget calendar, which was modified several
years ago to correspond with state legislation on Truth in Taxation, the bulk of the budget review
has now been moved back to the months of October and November.
In August the City Council is presented with a preliminary summary budget showing the detail
only at a fund level. In accordance with Truth in Taxation regulations, the City Council must
adopt and certify to the County Auditor a preliminary budget and a preliminary levy prior to
September 15th. From that certification the County Auditor determines the effect that this
proposed levy will have on local property taxes. That information is then returned to the City for
the City Council to utilize in their detail budget reviews to enable them to make a final
determination on expenditures and a final determination on a city levy, which will be reviewed at
a public Truth in Taxation hearing which staff is proposing to conduct on December 4, 2000.
The attached proposed resolution includes both the revenue and expenses for 2001 along with the
proposed levy.
Attached is a proposed preliminary resolution along with the notice from Anoka County as to
when the City Council may establish budget hearing dates. It is staffs recommendation that this
item be placed on the September 5th work session for more in-depth review of the preliminary
proposed budget and the preliminary proposed levy.

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY
A. Michelle Chalin, Parkview Villa Public Housing'Administrator.
Ms. Cbalin stated that Millar Elevator company is currently working on the large elevator at this time. The small
elevator is up and running. However, just in the last three days it has broke down. MiHar Elevator Service has
responded quickly to the repair call. June 12, 2000 a circuit panel shorted out in umt 212 and all of the units above
it. Power was restored to every unit on that same day except unit 212. The occupant of urdt 212 was occupying the
unit Therefore, her rent was reimbursed to her for the time period of June 12~h tlu'u July 1 st. The electrician stated
the problem arose due to the panel casing being installed too close to the c~rcuit breaker.
In discussion, Pres. Ruettimann asked Mel Coilova, the Cities Building Official, would the panel casing being
installed too close to the circuit breaker cause the power outage? Mr. Coilova stated that yes, it could have got too
hot. Pres. Ruettimann requested that Mel Coilova visually check the electrical system for the other units at
Parkview to see if some corrections need to be made there also.
4607 Tyler had their inspection from Anoka County today for the HOME Program with no violations. She will be
receiving a written letter in this regard.
Monday, July 10~ MicheHe Chalin returned to Parkview Villa. She then gave her resignation. Her last day will be
July 28, 2000. Ms. Barnes reported that Auita Ko~ick will be managing Parkview Villa half of the day and the
other half of the day at Columbia Heights. Another associate will take the other half of the day at Parkview Villa so
that there will always be staff present at Parkview Villa. Ms. Barnes stated that the new associate will have to go to
a training course. Nan McKay is just one of the organizations that put on the training course. Mr. Ruettimann
asked for a copy of the course to have on file with the EDA.
On July 28e', 2:00 p.m., at Parkview Villa there will be a farewell party for Michelle Chalin. Ms. Barnes
commented that she was very grateful for Michelle Chalin and Anita Kottsick's work that they have done for Crest
View Management. The Residents Management Reports are completed and there was nothing under the level of
satisfactory recorded. Overall the report was good news and she again thanked Michelle for her hard work in
managing Parkview Villa. Ms. Barnes also added that the EDA shouldn't be too concerned about the amount of
turnover of units at this time. This is common for buildings between 10-15 years of age in the buildings that she
manages. ,
Pres. Ruettin~ann asked if Michelle Chalin has ever done an exit report? She responded that this was her first job.
He asked that she do one for Crest View Management and the EDA's files. The report will help the EDA and Crest
View Management to assess how she ran the facility, how she felt that the program runs, etc.
AMENDMENT TO OCCUPANCY POLICIES
Mr. Schumacher explained that this report clarifies how much preparation is necessary for internally changing units.
Currently the Occupancy Policy specifies a fee for internal unit moves. The current fee is $125 and does not cover
the actual cost of preparing the unit for occupancy. Staff is recommending $400 be used as a base amount for this
cleaning and painting process. This policy would take effect as of September 1, 2000 for all tenants, including those
on the internal waiting list prior to September 1, 2000, unless the move has already been arranged.
Economic Development Authority Minutes
July 18, 2000
Page 3
In discussion, Ms. Wyckoff questioned if it was ever considered to keep the mount at $125, but saying to the
resident that you won't be able to change units for two years? Ms. Chalin stated that she remembers that most of the
residents have been there for well over two years and so that would make them eligible to change units at this time
based on the amount of time that they have been in the building. Ms. Harems stated that each resident, including
herself pulled up their own earpet in their apartment and then cleaned the floor underneath it. She has lived there 14
years and is seriously considering moving to the east side of town due to the noise, smell, traffic and environment
around Parkview Villa. Another resident stated she could hear people talking loudly from her window also.
Ms. Barnes stated that the complaints she receives from residents is noise late at night and the smell from the
kitchen and garbage from the mall behind Parkview Villa. Mr. Ruettiman asked what time do they hear the trucks
in the morning? The residents responded that they hear them at 5 a.m. Mr. Ruettimanu asked Mel Coilova if there
is anything that can be done about the smell from the restauiant behind Parkview Villa? Mr. Coilova reported that
he has checked it out in the past and found no unusual problems, but he will check into it again. Ruettimann asked
Walt Fehst to talk to the owners of the businesses behind Parkview Villa to see if there is anything that can be done
about the noise problems that the Parkview Villa residents are concerned about.
MOTION by Julienne Wyckoff, seconded by Marlaine Szurek, to amend the Occupancy Policy of Parkview Villa
to reflect a reloeation fee of $400 effective September 1, 2000. All Ayes. MOTION CARRIED.
CITIZEN FORUM TO ADDRESS EDA ON MATTERS NOT ON AGENDA.
Mr. White commented that there is a public microphone system in this room, he would like to see the EDA use it at
the next meeting. Pres. Ruettimann responded that he wasn't aware of one available, but he will use it in the future.
His second question was about the properties on Lookout Place, what is the City doing with them? Mr. Schumacher
reported that we have been doing a clean up of the property at this lime. Mr. White also asked how soon would the
homes be demolished? Mr. Schumacher responded that the City does own the unit. The residents moved out last
week. Staff is currently working on cleaning up the homes. It will be a matter of time until everything is cleaned
up. The Fire Deparlment will possibly be using the homes for f~re training. Mr. Hunter asked if we have to relocate
the residents of the properties? Mr. Schumacher reported that both families have made other arrangements at this
time.

3) Acquisition of Main Street Properties
Walt Fehst gave the report of the Main Street properties. The property at 3855 Main Street was valued at $55,000,
and the property at 3919 Main Street was valued at $66,000. For the property at 3855 Main Street, staff will be
drawing up a Purchase Agreement for the property. Both eta these units have come before the EDA Board and the
City Council for evaluation. The City Council's decision ~as to purchase, demolish and rebuild on the property at
3855 Main Street. He would like to ask the EDA to see if they are in agreement to purchase the property at 3919
Main Street to clean it up and sell the property for redevelopment. He could not recommend at this point that the
EDA spend any money at this time for the property. He does recommend that we negotiate with the City Council to
borrow funds from the abatement fund. The Council discussed a partnership with them in the purchase of the 3919
property. The City is currently working on two reports; 1) Section 8 Transfer; 2) TIF to see what funds are
available from them for this project.
In discussion, Pres. Ruettimann would like to check over some of the funds available with staff and he would be
definitely interested in a joint parmership program with the City. He also questioned if the units are vacant? Mr.
Fehst reported that one unit is vacant and the other is currently housing a family. He requested that the Board
permit the Director and Assistant Director to come up with some kind of agreement on funding. Mel Coilova
reported that he felt that the residents that are interested in the properties would possibly move quickly on the
purchase of the properties if the City isn't interested in the purchase. Mr. Cellova stated that one of the owners does
have an offer for the property.
Julienne Wyckoff felt that if the Council has already authorized the one piece of property to be bought and
demolished, why is the EDA Board questioning this purchase? What is the advantage for Mr. Knox to sell the
property to the City? Mr. Fehst reiterated that he felt the same way about the purchase of the property. Again, he
stated that he felt we could use the abatement funds for the property. It should be noted that one of the owners (Mr.
Knox) was present at the meeting. Mel Cellova stated that Mr. Knox does have an offer for $98,000. Mel also
expressed that currently we are talking about CDBG funds and we should look at what other funds are available.
Pres. Ruettimann and Gary Peterson stated that they felt that this house was in good shape and we should probably
let the owner sell the property and the EDA should focus on other areas of land in the City that really are in bad
shape instead of purchasing this property.
The general consensus by the EDA members is that Mr. Knox should go ahead and sell his property if he has a
buyer for it.
Gary Peterson requested staff study the funds that could possibly be used for the purchase of the property. No
motion was made at this time until staff researches more into what funds can be used for the purchases.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
Report of the Deputy Executive Director.
1) 4216 Central Avenue
Mr. Schumacher reported that Mr. Nedegaard has talked to staff in regards to the property at 4216 Central Avenue
N.E. If there isn't any significant changes in his building plans, staff will go forth with the purchase of the property.
Mr. Nedegaard has agreed to purchase the land and is looking at changing his plans for the property. The plans
should be into the EDA sometime later this week.
In discussion, Mr. Jolly asked that Mr. Schumacher pay special .attention to the retaining wall in the back of the
Economic Development Authority Minutes

property. He had looked at the wall recently and it looks like it will not hold up. Mr. Hunter stated that Mr.
Nedegaard has had plans to build a garage in the back area so the wall would be taken down. The question raised
by Ms. Wyckoff was that when we sell the property wffi the money go into the EDA funds? Mr. Schumacher and
Pres. Rueitlimann confn'med that the dollars will go into the EDA Funds.
2) Update of HUD Form 50058 Family Reporting
Mr. Schumacher reported on the HUD Form 50058's Family Reports. Parkview Villa does not have the proper
hardware available, so the Community Development Staff has be entering the information into the HUD forms for
Parkview staff. The reports are currently done and submitted to HUD with 90 reports entered and a total of 85%
accepted. The manually written forms prepared by Parkview Vilh staff will be sent back to Parkview Villa staff in
the next week.
/
In discussion, Ms. Barnes stated that Anita Kottsick did a tremendous mount of work in filling out the reports in a
short period of time and she would like to thank her forthis. Normally, this would take months to fill out these
reports. Mr. Scbumncher would like to recommend that we purchase a program to help Parkview Villa do the
reporting themselves in the future. Mr. Ruettimann suggested that we could possibly have someone create a
program that we could have staff enter the information without spending $20,000. He would like to have a program
that complies with all of HUD's rules.
Mr. Schumacher expressed that Parkview Villa does not have any software at this time to input the HUD forms that
are to be filed. Pres. Ruettimann stated that we have been working on this software program for a few years and
have gotten nowhere. He felt we should use our I.S. Department resources and knowledge to get the forms
submitted on time and we need to have someone find out the exact software needed; forms, receipts, basic
information, etc.
Ms. Barnes clarified that currently we are duplicating our work. Parkview Villa Management is hand writing the
forms and then the EDA staff is inputting it into the computer and transmitting it to HUT). If we had the program at
Parkview Villa they could enter the information in at one time. She stated that two things need to happen in this
regards: l) fred out what HUD requires, and 2) Check into the cost oft program that will work for all of the
requirements.
Mr. Schumacher agreed with Pres. Ruettimann that the Information Services staff at City Hall should be involved in
the purchase of the software as we do not have the knowledge of sofh~are pwgrams that they do. Pres. Ruettimann
requested that Randy Schnmacher and Parkview Villa Staff work together to come up with what requirements of
software and forms are needed.
B. Report of the Executive Director-None.
C. Committee/Other Reports.
1) Resident Council- Pat Jindra
Pat Jindra reported that she has submitted in writing the minutes of the last two meetings with the Parkview Villa
residents.
2) Six Month Report of Resident moves at Parkview Villa - Pat Jindra
Pat Jindra reported that there was 20 internal moves in Parkview Vilh in the last six months. Ms. Chalin said that
number included residents that both changed apartments and residents new to the facility.
In discussion, it was determined that there was a misunderstanding in what Pat Jindra asked Ms. Chalin for, so the
incorrect amount was given to Pat Jindra. For January 1 to June 30, 2000, the correct amount is 20 total unit
turnovers for Parkview Villa and 2 for 4607 Tyler Street NE. The actual amount of internal moves was zero for the
four plex, 3 for the north bullcling, and 4 for the south building. There were nine new tenters moving into the North
building, 4 new renters moving into the South building, and 2 new tenters moving into 4607 Tyler Street NE. during
this period.
